fucking Telegram automatically converts any webp sent in a message to a fucking sticker

I didn't want that. I want the ability to view the image, including zooming in and panning, and telegram forcing it into a sticker kills that completely

I came to removed about the same thing.

This looks like the most relevant bug on Telegram's bug tracker for the issue: https://bugs.telegram.org/c/4360

Thanks, I thumbs upped it.

Whatsapp is marginally better but outside of regular sms texting I fine Facebook messenger to be the best.

Now don't get it twisted, it's still shit just the best of the shitty messaging apps.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't know, I don't use any facebook shit

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You apparently use telegram though. A platform that only recently instituted safeguards that prevent child exploitation. Congratulations? Maybe consider using some facebook shit instead.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah yes, facebook never exploits children. /s

I don't doubt it, and Pavel seems like a nazi fuck anyways.

But it has fuck all to do with why I don't use facebook software.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Fair enough. I don't use Facebook either so... I hear ya.

skill issue

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 172 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I recently put in a lot of hours for a software system to be able to handle webp just as well as every other image format it already accepted. I put in a lot of work as well. Hadn't heard about it for a while, but saw the feature release statement for the new version I knew my changes were in. It wasn't on there. So I reached out to my contact and asked if there was an issue or did it get bumped to a later version or what? So she told me the marketing team that do the release statements decided not to include it. They stated for one, people already expect common formats to be handled. Saying you now handle a format looks bad, since people know you didn't handle it before and were behind the curve. The second (probably more important) reason was nobody knew what webp even was and it's only something technical people care about (they probably said nerds, but my contact translated). So no regular customer would be interested and it could only lead to confusion and questions.

I hope somebody is happy with the work I put in tho. Somebody is going to drag a webp into the system and have it be accepted. Someday.... I hope...

a bit related.

Was working for a comparison engine. Back in the day things where slow. But i made it lightning fast. Pretty proud.

Untill a few weeks later the manager comes up, and tells me to make it SLOWER!

apparently users thought it was suss that it was so fast and the results therefore where fake…

Let me introduce you to good old speed up loops.

  1. Fuck those people for telling you this after you did the work
  2. Those reasons are hard-stop stupid. If they REALLY cared about the marketing they'd release it silently or add a "improvements to image format handling" line and leave it at that.
[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 61 points 1 week ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Maybe I worded it incorrectly. The feature was released in that version. They just didn't mention it in the release statement they put out to their customers. I'm sure there's some changelog somewhere people can dig into where it says something like what you mentioned. Or it can just be under "Various small improvements" which they always add as a catch-all.

So I'm happy, I did the job and got paid. Everyone I worked with was happy. And the feature got released. It's was just a let down it didn't get mentioned at all, even though I put quite a lot of work into it.

Just change the file extension to *.png. Works every time.

I'm working on a project which generates images in multiples sizes, and also converts to WEBP and AVIF.

The difference in file size is significant. It might not matter to you, but it matters to a lot of people.

Here's an example (the filename is the width):

Also, using the <picture></picture> element, if the users' browsers don't support (or block) AVIF/WEBP, the original format is used. No harm in using them.

(I know this is a meme post, but some people are taking it seriously)

As someone who sometimes needs a quick and dirty stock image for my work, webp is the bane of my existence. The work computers won't let me visit sites or install programs/extensions to convert the image, and my document processing programs have no fucking clue what to do with the format. There is an option in Microsoft edge to edit image, and it will dump the result as a .png which is the only workaround I've found.

[–] manxu@piefed.social 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The funniest thing is that even some of Google's own products don't accept Webp, like Google Voice.

.jxl is the better image format anyway

Too bad it's being actively killed by Google. :(
