  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.

  I’m not really convinced that file compression was “mature” at the time. Text compression was reasonable progressed but image compression was created for a reason besides just a requirement for fixed compression ratio.

  But I do agree that it was limited in it’s usefulness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this post is just 42kib⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this post is just 42kib⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

  Do you have to back up everything off site?

  Maybe there are just a few critical files you need a disaster recovery plan for, and the rest is just covered by your raidz

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this post is just 42kib⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this post is just 42kib⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

  Blessed is the round, and blessed is the cartridge for it holds the round and all of its fury
  Blessed is the magazine for receiving the round and holding it close.
  Blessed is the barrel, for providing direction and guidance to the round
  And most of all, blessed is Kurt Cobain for giving the round purpose, and for receiving all of its love within his body 😌

  “use” might be a stretch.

  I have a mastodon account I check occasionally
  I have a pixelfed account I use rarely
  And a loops account I think I logged into once
