Furthermore, we generally assume malicious intent, but I wouldn’t be surprised if teenagers were using the app to ‘get’ big boobs etc., we all have seen those shopped pictures with deformed background 😁

TIL Sportacus has an evil cousin.

I hate Amazon ads where the guy orders a lightbulb or some other simple stuff, I just can buy that at the store.

LOL at the big debate I read just yesterday about how better wireless headphones are, and how useless jacks on phones are nowadays…

Once limited page space, now limited attention span. I fear a title longer than 20 words would already be tl,dr territory.

Can I remind everyone of https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ ?

Some of these titles needs different capitalization, apices, quotes… something! I shouldn’t have to read it 3-4 times to extrapolate the meaning.

ANYTHING but reforestation! That’s for hippies

You’re welcome, glad I could be of some help!

Okay, here’s what I’ve found.
First of all, I use vanilla Firefox on windows 10, only extensions installed are AdBlockPlus and Privacy Badger, but even with those turned off and Firefox’s own Tracking Protection set to Standard instead of Strict doesn’t change the result. However, what I had missed is that ICO is the only conversion that works: it’ll take about a minute instead of the couple of seconds of the other cases, generate a file with huge size confronted with the original, but it will let you download an ICO file. Tried it on Edge, and every conversion works normally. The no-extension quirk for the Default option is still there, though.

This is what the Firefox console shows, from page load to the end of the conversion:

Input file: File` { name: “sample2.heic”, lastModified: 1750180660057, webkitRelativePath: “”, size: 351970, type: “” } compression.js:43:11 File type is HEIC: image/heic utilities.js:7:13 Input image file size: 0.336 MB compression.js:144:11 Settings: Object { maxSizeMB: “0.336”, initialQuality: 0.8, maxWidthOrHeight: undefined, useWebWorker: true, onProgress: options(p), preserveExif: false, fileType: “image/webp”, libURL: “./browser-image-compression.js”, alwaysKeepResolution: true, signal: AbortSignal } compression.js:161:11 Preprocessing HEIC image… compression.js:186:11 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (0%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (5%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (10%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (15%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (20%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (25%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (30%) compression.js:119:13 Optimizing “sample2.heic” (99%) compression.js:119:13 Post-processing… compression.js:223:11 New image extension: webp utilities.js:144:11

Arent’t we using one at the moment?

No, not in a new tab. I meant “display” as “it’s shown in the processed images list”. I upload the heic image, it gets read and compressed, and appears in the processed images list, as it should. But when I click the download button, I get the Firefox dialog to download a jpeg image, and if I proceed, I DO download a jpeg image. Regardless of the conversion format chosen.

(Other little quirk, if “Convert to” is set to JPEG, PNG, webP or ICO, the converted image will be shown in the processed list with the corresponding extension, but if set to Default, it’ll show as FILENAME. without extension)

Gave it a try by unzipping and running from local index.html, and fed it a 4000*3000 HEIC photo (converting that kind of pics when someone sends them to me would be my main use case) but it has this weird bug that, no matter what format I select, it takes like a couple seconds to convert, it displays that an image of the selected format is ready, but when I click the button it presents a jpeg pic to download. Same happens on mazanoke.com Using Firefox 139 on win10 if that helps.

The title was funnier than the article, I must admit.

Wait what, last I knew it hadn’t even started yet.

“Accelerated Christian Education” sounds a lot like the kind of brainwashing you’d see in a Marvel comic, with helmet and restraints.

Okay but where’s the BDSM gear?

…as soon as it’s out, of course.

But people clicked it, and it’s the only thing that matters. Of course banning smartphones completely is a stupid idea, but it’s a wild claim that draws attention.

I’ve been a nerd since the 80s and I’ll have you know I’m a great shot even with my eyes being fucked. Fuck your stereotyping bullshit.

They probably meant outside of CS and Battlefield.
