Photoshop Nonsense - self-explanatory name

I used to practice this art actively.

Oh I love the JPEG effect they've applied to the image, really makes it look like it's been re-saved 10,000 times since 2003.
- The other results had iFunny and 9GAG watermarks on them and/or were even more deepfried with compression.
  But somehow, the JPEG artifacts give this one a nice cozy feel. Seeing this ancient meme again was like meeting an old friend.
  
  Hello JPEG, my old friend
  I've come to post you again
  Because a vision softly blurring
  Left its compression while I was sleeping
  And the vision that was planted in my brain
  Still remains within the artifacts of JPEG
- Are jpg's still used today for most things? Or did they quietly die like mp3 did
  
  I think both of those are still used extensively.
  
  It is, but it probably shouldn't be any more. WebP has good support everywhere now and is slightly better than JPEG and PNG combined. (Better lossy compression than JPEG, plus transparency support, and better lossless compression than PNG). But even WebP is considered lame these days compared to the new crop.
  E.g., JXL (JPEG XL) is much better WebP and is supported by everyone except Google (which is ironic since Google helped create it). Google seems to want AVIF to be the winner for the new image format, but not many others do.
  Anyway, until the Google JXL AVIF hissy fit is dealt with, at least we've still got WebP. It's not super great, but it's at least better than JPEG and PNG. A lot of web developers are stuck in their old JPEG PNG mindset and are being slow to adapt, so JPEG is still hanging around.
  
  When did mp3 die?
  
  Somewhat. I'll often share a JPG over a PNG if the filesize is massive as the compression isn't too bad these days.
  Although everything is moving over to WebP I think, but it's not as widespread yet.
  
  My camera app on my phone and my screenshot tool on my computer both save as jpg by default
- Bro I remember seeing the original picture posted in 2003
- Is this the Sepia of the future?

This is older than dust
- Its so old it was made with Paint Shop Pro
  
  This comment hurt me on a deep level.
  PSP was the shit.
  Edit: and vivid scenes of using it and CorelDraw just popped into my head. Damn it.

This is older than the average lemming for fucks sake, I saw this meme in the early days of Facebook and it was old back then
- I found the oldest version from 2014 on imgur

  Even that has some visible jpeg
  
  Wow, he spent some time on that!

Unfortunately he saved it as a JPEG 87 times in a row.
- People should just use png or webp.

That's pretty good for a week of practice. Almost too good.
- Aside from the giant one. If you kept the camera on a tripod it’s just a case of taking pictures in all the different places. Then in photoshop nothing more complex than loading each image as it’s own layer and then masking them to keep yourself but not too much off the background. The background would be the bottom layer with nothing in shot.
- All the pictures can be taken in a single afternoon. Overlaying all the pictures and then removing the appropriate parts with an erasor tool takes less than an hour. The most challenging part is the big giant one I the background, as that requires time to make a neat cut-out with a selection tool.
  Overall, this would still take... Less than a day to do, if you got a decent tripod.
  
  I think you're vastly under-estimating the difficulty of doing something like this by someone who literally had not heard of photoshop a week prior. Especially when we're speaking of someone whose being refered as "uncle"

This is older than Internet Explorer

What a blast from the past, thanks for posting

He is telling you to run away - do it, do it now! :-P

Does anyone else use Memmy?
I ask because the links to new communities never work for me. Curious if it’s the same for others.
- I don't know how it is with Memmy, but in-browser I always need to open a new community twice. The first time it gives an error but it starts fetching, the second time it works.
- Memmy development seems essentially dead, I would move on.
  I use Voyager now.
  
  Damn, really? I’m a fan of the ui. Is voyager an app now? Not into web based platforms.
- I use boost and both links work for me

- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  https://piped.video/QEzhxP-pdos?si=ldGrsZnUWA957gk2
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Random thought but why do the provided links never work in Memmy? They don't redirect.
- Memmy development is basically dead. Try something else.
