  1. Ummm... Yeah... The view is skewed methinks?

    > I wonder how many young people even know that .gif was just a crappy 8-bit file format with patent problems?

    "Is", actually. "Is just a crappy 8-bit file format".

    Yes, observationally, a .gif has become somewhat synonymous with any relatively short, shitty, meme-ism, much like an .avi, but I would suggest that what you're generating is more of a Fediverse (mastotronic, actually) limitation whereby the user effects a download of the meme in .gif format and it shows up on your storage device as an mp4 file - this is not a limitation of the file format except in the sense of a #Fediverse (in this case, mastotron) limitation.

    The conversion occurs when you d/l the graphic to a local file system - and it is shameless.

    For example I save them through matrix since they retain their, as you put it, their "crappy 8-bit file format" as intended, instead of the fucking #Frankenstein bullshit that mastopub servers force - Mastodon, by the way, is already on its way out - the Fediverse has left it behind and increasingly, it seeks kludges to remain relevant in the #ActivityPub sectors of the Fediverse.

    Bye bye #mastopub and #Eugen's brief grip on the Fediverse and all the phenomenal emerging technologies that are largely replacing it in the world of #ActivityPub alone!

    Fuck that guy. He's a #simp bitch.

  2. Where ‘#DayZeroDroughts’ could happen as soon as this decade

    Story by Laura Paddison, September 23, 2025

    Excerpt: "Cities are particularly at risk as booming populations increase demand on water resources already under pressure from #ClimateChange and mismanagement. Low-income communities are expected to be disproportionately affected, the study found.

    "Some parts of the world, including the Mediterranean, southern Africa, Asia and Australia, are projected to endure more prolonged day-zero drought events with less time between each one, limiting their ability to recover, the report found. This can have devastating effects on agriculture and ecosystems, and for some particularly badly affected areas, it throws into question 'whether people might still be able to live there long term,' Franzke said.

    The findings point to the clear need to speed up the clean energy transition, he said, as well as improve water management — huge amounts are wasted through leaky pipes, for example.

    "The research should also guide industry, he added, pointing to the proliferation of water-guzzling #SemiconductorManufacturing and #DataCenters in water-stressed areas such as #Texas and #Arizona."
