On the obnoxiousness of WebP (self.artporn)

Here we are with a community celebrating art, some of us might like to archive it. But no, inevitably it's google 'owned' transcoded, WebP. I have an extension to re-encode back to an old format, but that's lossy-lossy transcoding, not good. I suspect it's a Lemmy thing, but what would it take to get non-lossy here?

Oh interesting, this is a bit different than what I thought you were experiencing.

So when I visit that post from my instance that doesn't happen. https://ani.social/post/4400463

It appears slrpnk.net is using a new feature called Image Proxying Its meant to protect you from data-mining and optimizes the data used.

I'm not aware of it theres a way to shut it off per user or not. I would recommend asking slrpnk.net's admin.

Mffh cool, and annoying in this case, but generally good. Might just stick with it and use another instance as needed. Thank you kindly for letting me know.
