And websites would have a link to a page and say “Warning! This page contains a lot of pictures!” so you wouldn’t click it unless you were prepared to put your other browsing on hold for a little while

I was grabbing some files originally made for some old DOS software a few years ago and the site had a warning for the 20MB text file download. Like, my good friend that’s just the front page of CNN these days! Thank you for your concern but now it just seems quaint rather than thoughtful

Didn’t GIFs load from the bottom?
Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No. You’re thinking of jifs

It was top to bottom unless the image had a rotation flag in it. I don’t remember if it was just PNG that had that or if other formats could too.
bus_factor@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I distinctively remember GIFs loading bottom to top, left to right, which does not make sense with a rotation flag. Not sure why you’re pulling PNG into this, that’s an entirely different file format.
Verat@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Just mentioning what format I remembered it with since I dont remember if the rotation flag was in the image file formatting, in the webpage, or if it could be specified in either place.
