That's why you open Task Manager and kill the process

I like how I can right click to empty the Recycle Bin and watch myself visibly age as Windows rubber stamps every file like the old lady librarian marking the due dates.

Thank you for reposting this. I was trying like hell to find it the other day

Purgatory is clicking to save an image and seeing it's .jpeg instead of .jpg.

This was funnier back when we were all running Windows XP and Outlook 2002. Funnier because it was true. That shit took 3 minutes minimum.

I miss Windows XP

Hell is trying to get a direct image link from reddit, because their godawful "image viewer" has 17 fathoms of padding and the image itself refuses load in its original resolution. "Oh you want to zoom in too? Hahaha, no."

The “new” edge is Chromium just like Google Chrome. I don’t trust Google with my privacy, so I just use edge on windows. I use Firefox on Linux distros, and Safari on Mac.

Hell was back in the days of WIndows 98, and processes on your computer would trigger Java, and you would lose all communication with your computer for over a minute, just to see that little coffee cup arise in your system tray like the bad guy that you thought you had shot and killed minutes before. A few minutes after the appearance of that dastardly icon, you would have control of your computer once again.
papaprr
It was kind of like poor man's ransomware. You would lose control of your computer, your data, & your programs, but only for a couple of minutes, and you wouldn't have to pay anything. Just sit there.

Wait, is email actually that archaic? I use it -- not just at work -- every. single. day.
anicyril
Using a client outside of your browser is highly uncommon these days,that's what this meme is talking about.

I remember that day.
Lots of scared people, followed by lots of deep, beleaguered sighs.

Back in the 20th century, good formatting included adding height and width attributes to your img tags.

Now days links don’t point to files, they are placeholders to whatever ad might be in the queue for each user

Hell is also clicking to save an image and seeing it try to save as a webp file.
NerdNerdburger
Very easy solution to that: right-click "copy image", open MS Paint (or GIMP, or any other image editor you like), ctrl+v, crop/resize as needed, and save as your favorite image format (I like PNGs). It's a bit more tedious, but you get the image.
taurondir
I created and installed a virus on my own machine that every time it finds a webp image, it converts it to a jpg. Ok I actually do that manually. I'm the virus.
Cindex1337
The only acceptable time for a screenshot.
BoomyGordo
Or dragging to save it and watching your computer save an html shortcut to the image URL rather than save the actual image
FenwickFoxx
Why do people hate webp so much? It's better than jpeg and everything supports it... Is it because it's new and new is bad?

LittleRobot71
What old shit? WebP has bean around for more then a decade.
BoomyGordo
Not everything supports it. That's why people don't like it
NerdNerdburger
No, not everything supports it, which is the problem. Most basic image viewers,for instance. If you wanna be able to just look at and flick through images offline without waiting for a bunch of editing subroutines to load, webp is not a format you can use.
EroticZombiePants
I guess coming out in 2010 is still new.
FenwickFoxx
It is in terms of common image types yeah, jpeg came out in 1992,so 2010 is new
LordKitchenersValet
Everyone! Switch to Firefox and use the screengrab option!
Librewolf.net is the easiest and best way to get Firefox without having to manually add the best privacy settings and adblockers!
middlehead
Yes, switch to a build of Firefox. No, do not resort to screenshots. Just save the webp and convert it if you need to. Irfanview is a stupid flexible viewer, and can convert types easily.
METROlD
Its actually pretty dope. Its right up there with the linux screenshot tool. Why does Windows suck so hard when it comes to a simple screenshot. Upper corner to opposite lower corner? Thats it!? I cant even drag my little square around if I didnt crop it right? I just start over again until I get the perfect upper corner click for my selection? Fuck you, Windows snipping tool.
dreyfusslugado
I got so annoyed at webp files that I found a command-line program (IrfanView) to convert them to jpg, and with some Autohotkey scripting, now I just save them to a folder on my desktop and they get automatically converted to jpg
chevymonster
I just made a .bat file to run in the download folder weekly.

ren *.jpeg *.jpg

Automatically? Go on...

If I save an image, I want the image, not a web-link to the image.
MadamPuddifoot
It *IS* the image.
Ihmislehma
Tell that to whatever is causing it to open in a browser after saving. It's not a problem though, I have ways to get it in my preferred file type.
solarshado
That'd be the file type associations on your computer. Probably defaults to opening webp files in your browser just because that's a program that *can* open the file type. Next time you open one, check if the address bar starts with "file://"; if so, that's a local file. If you've got another program installed that can open webp files, then there'll be a way to change the default to that, but where exactly that setting is varies depending on your OS and version (google is your ally here).
Feksaaargh
I'd also like to know. It's smaller than png when lossless, smaller than jpg when lossy, and everything supports it. I don't get why it's not more common, if anything
EroticZombiePants
It's not immediately viewable on many operating systems.
anicyril
In addition to what other people have said, a lot of free programs people use to edit images won't recognize webp.
LittleRobot71
What programs? Gimp and paint.net have supported it for ages.
Peffse
Yeah, its that third thing you listed. Not everything supports it.
