@IceWolf I'm quite anti-Google as well but some of the subsidiaries that come out of Alphabet seem quite nice. Sidewalk Labs is an example of one I like. (As of a few months back at least. Not sure where I stand with them today.)

@IceWolf Now I want to assign @foxxy a homework assignment to write a report on .webp so I can learn more about it.

@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.

@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.

@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)

@clarjon1 Which is better than filetype not supported xD

Ack, why does Telegram have better .webp support than Mastodon. 😧

Ugh, why am I 12¢ short from the amount I want for some Starbucks right now? I don't want to reload $10 😧

@IceWolf Yeah... xD

@IceWolf I tried running the classroom benchmark and well... the GPU failed xD

@IceWolf Yeah, mobile chips to tend to be a bit slower. Then again the WX is slower than it's counterpart gaming chip since the normal gaming variant is full height and has better cooling. x3

@novimatrem Is a bottomless pit a hole where folks can gather that don't like wearing pants? 🕳️ 🚫👖

@IceWolf The RX 6900 XT is the current top gaming AMD GPU. :3

The WX3100 is actually close to a RX550 in power.

@IceWolf It's about equivalent to an RX 6900 in 1080p gaming but falls off in 4k. It's a workstation class GPU, hence the crazy amount of GDDR6.

@IceWolf Nuh, I don't get VR sickness. x3

Ugh, it's super annoying when my DAC decides at random to just start power cycling over and over and makes my audio devices make mean noises at me. 😿

@IceWolf: Good morning. 🌄
