      All that’s missing is the modem ear rape.

        Pretty sure modem noises were the inspiration behind dubstep.

        There were reports of teenage boys becoming so conditioned that they would get an erection when they heard a modem dialling

        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

      Didn’t GIFs load from the bottom?

        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.

    pngcrush gets it down to 21.1 kB with no loss of quality.
    I tried posting the file, but Lemmy converts it to the atrocious webp format automatically.

    This JPEG is just 41 KiB, which was the style shortly after I was born. Image

      Excuse me, I forgot the text. Wouldn’t be fair without all that entropy. To make up for it, I turned on chroma subsampling. This one is 39 KiB.

        To be more accurate, the dithering was more specific to animated gifs and not static pictures.

        A simplified polygonal scene, originally from Futurama scene that’s styled like anime. Fry is saying “You and I are enemies now.” while pointing at a jpegified Professor Farnsworth. Meta note: The scene was made in the Godot game engine.

        43KiB, though obviously a chunk of that is from the colors of the jpg Professor.

        Dithering is much older than jpeg.

        They used dithering in printed media, so it was transfered to digital media as a way to save on color depth, before jpeg got invented.

    We listened to music as 41kB RealAudio files that sounded like the song was underwater, which was the style at the time.

    Fyi, dithering hinders most modern compression algorythms, making the pic bigger.

    Dithering is so fucking cool. At some point I wanna check out that game that uses a ton of really sylized dithering - return of the obra djin I think?

      Obra Dinn’s filter hurt my eyes. A lot of these filters do and glad many are toggles in the options.

        That’s very fair, that’s a consequence of using a shader based artstyle I really hadn’t considered

    • tiramichu@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Dithering is still to this day extremely useful for making custom wall art in Minecraft using maps, because maps have a very specific and limited pallette.

    Back when image compression was just reducing the resolution and color depth.

    source
    • einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      i mean yeah, its a honest loss of information, jpg on the other hand introduces compression artifacts that are basically hallucinations, meaning it pretends to have more data than it actually has and humans compensate for that thru image recognition and fantasy.

      • PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I mean, that’s what dithering is
        An artifact that your brain processes as something else.

        source
    • tias@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It’s really only helpful for formats that will be directly read by hardware (the video chip) and where the “compression” ratio (I would prefer the term quantization) needs to be fixed. For file compression, which was quite mature but CPU- and memory-intensive at the time, the dithering only makes it more difficult to compress further.

        What do you mean “at the time”?
        What time are you talking about?

      JPEG also reduces color depth as it’s first step but just in a smarter way. RGB is converted into YCbCr.

        You’ve phrased this like a disagreement, but I don’t see how.

        Although maybe I’m just so jaded, that people providing interesting tangentially related trivia are perceived as being hostile unless they announce that as their intent, because usually unannounced trivia is leveled as an attack.
