Source for fun. Japanese people discussing their favorite countries. The woman in OP is discussing Belgium!

I guess either they're slow or no one on kbin.social subscribes to them to let them filter into the All feed, then, since I don't keep the NSFW filter toggled on.

Only 22 so far.

Mostly overly spammy meme or lolrandum hotspots (196) and discussion/meme communities and magazines centered on demographics I'm not part of and conditions I don't have (no hate for those groups ofc, just leaving them alone and letting them do their thing while also pruning content I fundamentally can't engage with).

I used to block non-English communities and magazines, but kbin's language filter started working quite well sometime after I signed up, so I removed all those.

I think my instance probably defederated porn since I never see it? Meh. I have nothing against it whatsoever, but there's a time and a place - I have a separate lemmynsfw account for when I want that.

Yeah, doing that does absolutely nothing. Your image viewer still reads it as the webp it is, and it knows to do so seamlessly because it's reading the file header (the first few bytes of the file) instead of the file extension.

For an analogy, you're basically just putting a wig on it and pretending it's your girlfriend from the next school over when everyone in the room knows it's your skeezy neighbor and is just humoring you.

You snark, but unironically yes? Obviously?

If you think the professors that will be left will be the highest quality instead of the longest tenured, you're being willfully ignorant. And that loss will ripple down through every generation those passionate and skilled educators would have taught. Plus, "the olds" or whatever have families (which include young people) that would be suffering even more directly to boot.

E: I see we're doing the whole "disregard the overall point and only snark about the lowest hanging fruit you can intentionally take out of context" thing. Into the void with you, redditor.

if there’s like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp

Formats are chosen by the uploaders and hosts, not the end user.

For easy conversion of images from the web, I recommend the FF addon Save webP as PNG or JPEG. Anytime you open an image in its own tab, it pops up with a menu that gives you a quick button to choose the format you'd like to save it in.

But do we really want to maintain the current status quo?

I think if you read my comment again, you'd find I acknowledge things need to change, I just think your proposed solution is bad.

I can imagine ways to accomplish these goals more gradually, with less complete and utter destruction, but I don't think someone who proposed something so extreme from the word go really wants to discuss the moderate stance, so I'll leave it with you as a thought exercise.

You're talking about changes that will take a generation or more to settle. While these things are in flux, professors will lose their jobs, research grants and budgets will be gutted, and educational assets will be liquidized (imagine museums being sold off to private collections - this is incredibly damaging to the collective knowledge base). Meanwhile, the generations that wait for prices to come down will be left having to educate themselves on the internet, which not everyone has the motivational drive to do or the ability to spot which sources are providing reliable, accurate material they can learn from.

I get that something's gotta give, but banning loans altogether ain't it unless your entire goal is to turn Gen A's moniker into Ass-Backwards.

I wasn't advocating for any posts to get removed, just sassing this chump for acting like anyone who can see what it really is is an idiot ("are you so concrete..." etc)

We know what it looks like, we just also see what it actually is and thus it loses all effect.

Being horny is harmless and fun. There would be a lot more chill in the world if people would stop being so wound up about it.

The best time to learn emergency lifesaving procedures is before you need them, but the second best time is when you need them. Being old fashioned about this could cost a life.

If you have a quicker reference people should bookmark for such cases, the kind thing would be to share it rather than judge. Else, panicking people will inevitably go where they know they can usually get fast instruction about any other topic.
