I feel guilty for taking up >14 MB on that last toot, but the downscaler on my phone didn't seem to have a batch mode. :(

But then again, I think Ad?min is def' gonna be ok with this one ;)

@rl_dane

It's a worthy cause. :)

Also GoToSocial automatically does compression and what not.

@amin

That was the size downloaded (looking at /tmp/tutfile1111111yaddayadda.jpg)

Random aside, why the heck are people still enforcing three-letter extensions? That's so dumb. :P

@ddlyh @rl_dane

Speaking of, the "P" should pronounced as an "F". After all, it stands for "Photographic".

I will die on this hill.

@ddlyh @amin

JFIF is the container format. JPEG is the spec/algorithm.

...as I understand it...

@rl_dane @ddlyh

Strictly speaking, "JPEG" is the name of the group that made the spec. "Joint Photographic Experts Group". ;)

@mirabilos @amin @ddlyh

I'm not a fan of providing retronyms for abbreviations necessitated by crappy operating systems and/or crappy conventions.

It should always be .jpeg, in my book.

@ddlyh @amin @rl_dane nah, 3-char extensions are fine and the usus.

And in some cases even more correct, e.g. in .htm (as the file is not the language).

@mirabilos @ddlyh @amin

Then it should be .htmf 😅

I still think three character extensions are a dumb constraint.

This ain't C/PM.

@rl_dane @ddlyh @amin cd9660 has the same restriction, and Unix filesystems originally 14 chars in total, too.

Also, more tidy and less to type.

@mirabilos @ddlyh @amin

14, really?
I had always heard 255. How long ago was it 14?

@mirabilos @ddlyh @amin

Interesting. I'm guessing proper long file names was another #BSD innovation, then?
