Ack, why does Telegram have better .webp
support than Mastodon. 😧
@doxxy But honestly, why use webp? png exists, is plenty good, and isn't part of Google's "take over the internet" plan.
@IceWolf .webp
feels like it was made by hackers and scientists more than Google. Plus I can get lossless webp images that are a fraction of the size of png.
@doxxy Ohuh, didn't know it wasn't really A Google Thing. That's good!
@doxxy Honestly images are small enough we personally lean towards more open standards instead of Google's "standards". We make an exception for video though since video is /huge/ and the common formats are patented.
@IceWolf This really helps when optimizing textures for VR models. I cut the filesize of my otter down all the way to 5MB. The (4) 2k textures for it are ~900KB in total.
@clarjon1 Which is better than filetype not supported
xD
@clarjon1 Though if the filesize is large enough it won't render as a sticker. Instead it renders as a file with a preview (which can be enlarged)
@doxxy Mastodon converts all videos to MP4 too. It sucks.
