#file formats

Hello! If you're trying to save an image but it's a WEBp and plugins aren't working, then here's a useful tip!

Go to the url and delete the ? and text past that (if I'm correct this is tracking bs). Hit enter, and there you go!

Does someone have Fire Alpaca

i need to convert an .mdp (basically a layered PNG) file into something readable. and i don't want to download it again just for that task...

Look, I'm not saying anyone has to pronounce "GIF" with a soft G just because that's the canonical pronunciation according to the guy who designed the format. Death of the author and all that.

I am begging you to learn how acronyms work, because if I see one more person argue that "The G stands for 'graphics', which has a hard G, and the letters in acronyms are always pronounced the same way as the letters in the original words" I am going to turn into the joker.

FFMPEG and Pandoc are excellent tools that never should have been necessary.

i've decided to learn about the ECOFF file format.

The a.out header is also referred to as the "optional header". Note that "optional" is a misnomer because the header is actually mandatory.

i've decided not to learn about the ECOFF file format.

Hate WEBP file formats? There's an easy solution.

You just simply put .png or .jpg at the end of the file name, then click save.

I had tested this & it worked. No file format converter sites, nor image editing programs required.

Open Asset Importer

There are a couple JVM versions of the Open Asset Importer (Assimp) library:

+ https://github.com/kotlin-graphics/assimp, a direct Kotlin port (last released in November 2020)

+ lwjgl-assimp, which provides access to native Assimp v5.2.5 (from September 2022) using JNI

I plan to explore both versions, with the goal of building a single open-source JVM library to import 3-D models (in glTF, OBJ, Blender, Ogre, and FBX formats) into JMonkeyEngine.

The engine includes custom importers for all 5 formats, but they haven't been well maintained. I hope the new library can replace one or more of the custom importers while requiring less maintenance.

I plan to rely on my usual development tools: Java, Apache NetBeans, GitKraken, and Gradle.

hot take: they should replace .webp with .jxl. everyone (there are plugins and options for browsers and image editors to load .jxls tho) refuses to support .jxl becasue google's .avif is owned by google and as such is getting supported instead, but .jxl might be one of the absolute best file formats around

See, I think they run into the same issue. They both seem like really good formats! The problem is, I don't know if anyone's using them. I know Discord doesn't support embedding .webp's OR .jxl's. And who wants to download an image just to view it?

And some image editing softwares don't support those formats. Photoshop probably does, but it's Photoshop.

I'd be fine with either if I could actually use them everywhere, but as it stands, I can't.

And besides, it's an image format. I don't know if it matters that much unless you're an artist that needs lossless compression. And you can just use .png for that anyway! Your hard drive isn't THAT cramped for space, is it?

Pin-Lee suggesting that Murderbot start reacting to its injuries more to let humans know it’s been injured after realizing that it’s been casually walking around after a fight leaving a trail of Fluids. It’s like “I could.. probably write some code for that I guess.” and Dr. Mensah is like “don’t worry about it if it would be distracting to you. Just.... tell us afterwards. We want to know how you’re doing” and it’s like “i can give status reports yes.”

Pin-Lee is like “I still like the idea of you giving an indication you’ve been hit. For example.” she points finger guns. “Bang oh no I have definitely hit you with a projectile. Indicate that somehow.”

Murderbot, with extremely flat inflection which would not immediately seem like a distress call to nearby humans: “Ouch. I Have Been Injured.”

Pin-Lee is like “hm no there’s gotta be some sort of. I don’t know, you don’t have to verbalize if you don’t want to, maybe there’s like an alarm noise you could make? or an “AAA!” sound? Okay let’s try again BANG”

There is a brief delay (less then a second) and then Murderbot responds with damage vocalization option 2.

“File:Wilhelm_Scream.ogg” blasts through the station.
