gif
OK folks, I think it’s time for a #GIF & #meme #MegaThread for all your #shitposting needs – including handy-dandy #ALTtext (of course) because everyone deserves to be able to join in the fun & normalising #accessibility is #coolAF… 🤘 💁♀️
I use my phone’s text replacement function to save ALT text in a way that allows me to easily drop it on images in any subsequent shitpost, & I encourage you to do the same if your device(s) also have a text replacement / text extender function
personally, I use // in front of the trigger word so that I don’t accidentally expand text all the time, but you can pick anything that’s easy to type & unlikely to accidentally trigger the text replacement
let’s start with the classics as a worked example…
for the GIF below (posted here as a vid ‘coz masto converts actual GIFs to vids anyway to save on bandwidth), I use
trigger: //getout
expands to: A clip of Cary Grant from a black and white movie. He has an exasperated look on his face and is motioning towards the door with one arm while saying “Get out.”
once I have a bunch™ of these in the thread I’ll turn it into a blog post complete with all the GIFs / vids / memes for ease of future reference & archiving 🙃
please feel free to reply to this thread with your own examples of #artisinal #HandCrafted GIFs & memes and the ALT text you use to describe them
I made a script to put GIFs & transparent images as your Windows profile picture!
It always annoyed me, how on Windows, if your profile picture is partially transparent, #Windows will convert it to a .jpg file with a black background.
Well, it turns out if you edit the right registry keys (which are super protected even under admin rights, I wonder why!), you can set your account picture with transparency, and even use a #gif which moves and everything!
I made a neat Powershell script that does all of it for you, if you'd like to do it as well!

#PNG is back after 20 years!
https://www.programmax.net/articles/png-is-back/
I was hoping it dies a silent death in favour of #AVIF aed #WebP but I guess it is here to stay.
For me, I'm excited about finally integrating #APNG (animated PNG) because that has been around for years!
I even used APNG in my blog articles! (But only Firefox users can see it animated until this year. I can now see it animated in Blink-based and Chromium-based browsers in Android.)
Here's a review I wrote back in 2015 where I used APNG: https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/a-brilliant-young-mind-2015282/
But we already nave #GIF ! Well, APNG is better. 😝

Fun #GIF facts learned while writing the GIF loader for #Godot...
- The GIF 89a spec only uses the word "animation" or any other form of it twice, in the part where it says... "Animation - The Graphics Interchange Format is not intended as a platform for animation, even though it can be done in a limited way."
- GIFs can support more than 256 colors. While a GIF palette can only go up to 256 colors, each sub-image can have its own palette which, combined with other sub-images, can result in a final image with more than 256 colors.
- GIFs have a "user input flag" on graphic control extensions for sub-images, meaning that animated GIFs can actually wait for user input before advancing to the next frame. To my knowledge, modern decoders ignore this.
- The GIF 89a spec has a section for text rendering. There is an entire "plain text extension" that remains unimplemented on most modern decoders. So far I can only find one GIF that uses this (along with the user input flag), and one very old decoder for DOS that supports it. This is not related to GIF comment extensions.
- The "loop" count is a nonstandard Netscape 2.0 extension, implemented as an "application extension". GIFs otherwise are not expected to loop.
- The initial GIF version was invented in 1987, but "the web" was invented in 89, meaning the format was likely never intended to be used in web pages.
My wife started making animations in the spirit of 2000s Flash clips and I couldn't be more proud.
