transparent
It downloaded in webp. Shit.
This is one of those memes that divides people. I’m proud to say I’m on the side who guffawed loudly and drew glances from strangers.
I’m chuckling on the toilet myself
I thought this one was a quality joke for sure.
What a .svg
We’re not saying svg is bad, are we? It’s vector graphics which is great for scaling your images. (For non-photo images)
The pun is “what a savage”
Oh hahaha, thanks for this
On PC you can often drag an image before you download it.
You’ll see if it’s really transparent or just with a checkerboard pattern.Chefs Kiss
I wrote a TV guide app for Blackberry many years ago, and for the parts of the grid where the data had not yet downloaded, I drew (in code) a light checkerboard background like this. Got into a long-running argument with my company’s UX guy over it because he said it was a visual element that implied transparency when there wasn’t actually any transparency. So pointless - it wasn’t an app for image manipulation in the first place. I gave the darker squares a light blue tint and he left me alone, and then Blackberry died a quick death anyway.
The moral of the story is one that I took to heart for all my future mobile development: nothing matters, just go home and smoke another bowl.
Some real wisdom in this one.
Eh I’d agree with the UX guy. We get away with a lot flexibility in software dev that we can’t in other engineering, like mechanical or civil
It happened to me just a few weeks ago!
