Photoshop Nonsense - self-explanatory name
Photoshop Nonsense - self-explanatory name
I used to practice this art actively.
Links:
Oh I love the JPEG effect they've applied to the image, really makes it look like it's been re-saved 10,000 times since 2003.
The other results had iFunny and 9GAG watermarks on them and/or were even more deepfried with compression.
But somehow, the JPEG artifacts give this one a nice cozy feel. Seeing this ancient meme again was like meeting an old friend.
Bro I remember seeing the original picture posted in 2003
Are jpg's still used today for most things? Or did they quietly die like mp3 did
I think both of those are still used extensively.
It is, but it probably shouldn't be any more. WebP has good support everywhere now and is slightly better than JPEG and PNG combined. (Better lossy compression than JPEG, plus transparency support, and better lossless compression than PNG). But even WebP is considered lame these days compared to the new crop.
E.g., JXL (JPEG XL) is much better WebP and is supported by everyone except Google (which is ironic since Google helped create it). Google seems to want AVIF to be the winner for the new image format, but not many others do.
Anyway, until the Google JXL AVIF hissy fit is dealt with, at least we've still got WebP. It's not super great, but it's at least better than JPEG and PNG. A lot of web developers are stuck in their old JPEG PNG mindset and are being slow to adapt, so JPEG is still hanging around.
Somewhat. I'll often share a JPG over a PNG if the filesize is massive as the compression isn't too bad these days.
Although everything is moving over to WebP I think, but it's not as widespread yet.
My camera app on my phone and my screenshot tool on my computer both save as jpg by default
Is this the Sepia of the future?
No, this image is at least a decade old. Those are digital artifacts of genuine age on those pixels
This is older than dust
This is older than the average lemming for fucks sake, I saw this meme in the early days of Facebook and it was old back then
Even that has some visible jpeg
Wow, he spent some time on that!
but now it's federated :)
This is older than Internet Explorer
Unfortunately he saved it as a JPEG 87 times in a row.
People should just use png or webp.

What a blast from the past, thanks for posting
That's pretty good for a week of practice. Almost too good.
Aside from the giant one. If you kept the camera on a tripod it’s just a case of taking pictures in all the different places. Then in photoshop nothing more complex than loading each image as it’s own layer and then masking them to keep yourself but not too much off the background. The background would be the bottom layer with nothing in shot.
All the pictures can be taken in a single afternoon. Overlaying all the pictures and then removing the appropriate parts with an erasor tool takes less than an hour. The most challenging part is the big giant one I the background, as that requires time to make a neat cut-out with a selection tool.
Overall, this would still take... Less than a day to do, if you got a decent tripod.
I think you're vastly under-estimating the difficulty of doing something like this by someone who literally had not heard of photoshop a week prior. Especially when we're speaking of someone whose being refered as "uncle"
He is telling you to run away - do it, do it now! :-P
Does anyone else use Memmy?
I ask because the links to new communities never work for me. Curious if it’s the same for others.
I don't know how it is with Memmy, but in-browser I always need to open a new community twice. The first time it gives an error but it starts fetching, the second time it works.
I use boost and both links work for me
90s Uncle Goliath? 🤣
Random thought but why do the provided links never work in Memmy? They don't redirect.
If it's all of these links and just on Memmy, it's probably an issue with the app. I use Voyager and they work fine. You could ask about that at !memmy@lemmy.ml or file an issue at their GitHub if someone hasn't already.
Memmy development is basically dead. Try something else.
