@dominikhoecht I’m surprised you have. 🤣 but really yowzers 20k no talkie is no fun. But the real issue of course is the coffee. Good gravy. Maybe just chewing on the beans…I think I’m panicking…

@jsonbecker …and also that they frequently have that end-of-the-rainbow spot in the mall. Your quest is at an end…!

@crossingthethreshold the movement, the drama, forward!

@Archimage Remote Control, doubly so!

@UndamnedOne …garden variety effervescent joy, whatevs…😏🤣❤︎

@dejus giant cats of the old west… i’d watch that…

@bkryer @kq aesthetics masquerading as morality is the slow connection. anybody visiting my site is on the web recreationally and should, in my view, appreciate anything and everything offered to them—rather than complaining that the drapes are too nice or the sauce too tasty, or worse, to tell me I should reach the same conclusions.

I hope my overall point is clear, tho, so at risk of redundancy, when I say “nobody cares” what I mean to say is it is my guess that 9 out of 10 people, when pressed, would have no more than the most superficial understanding of the work you do (related to web etc.). Easily, and the 10th, has more of an idea, can catch a glimpse of your concerns about bandwidth and storage, but they are remote and abstract.

I’m concerned about questions like: can we design an image format that can always consume all the previous image formats and produce acceptable facsimiles?

So sometimes I say stuff upside down and backwards…🤨🧐🙃

@bkryer @kq I suppose we could just demand everyone use a text based terminal browser to solve the web storage footprint problem for good, right? No brainer.

@kq Yeah, I don’t agree with minimalist prescriptions as a rule, but also not with this one after consideration. It’s a chimera I love to chase, optimization, but I found there are more important things, as you say, for me.

@bkryer @kq srry—I sound so cranky. jeez!

What I should say is that archival longevity, and wide accessibility of the words and pictures I share are much more important to me than a pleasant modern experience—and of course this is just one of many ways to approach things!

How can I justify png for example, when someone “could” still be running safari for windows or something, right? 🤣🙃🤪
