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.

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.

Do you not know that actual news clips from actual news outfits get posted on youtube sometimes

Hey man, as long as you had fun.

People see it as a way to spread awareness about the fediverse alternatives that are out there. Like "hey, if you like this, there's more where that came from." It's not for viewers who are already here, but for those where the post inevitably travels.

I dunno. Both watermarking and being annoyed at the watermarks seem like a waste of energy to me. If people are going to generate content, I'm not going to sass them about how unless it makes something about the content worse (harder to read etc).

It's like using a very fine-grit sandpaper on your legs, so if that's what you were imagining... yes? Maybe? You basically slowly buff off the hair.

Consider yourself lucky and walk away like you just dodged a bullet

Again with the fixation on the OP. Let me be more direct: I didn't ask you.

Sure, but that was just additional context for my question, which was what this poster feels is the difference between changing owners and buying out a company.

What is the difference, in your mind, between changing owners and buying out a company?

To me they're the same thing and this is an appropriate reply for OP. Is it just a matter of scale for you? (I think we'd all like bigger examples, but this still works)

Usually yeah, at least twice, but with Fight Club you can't even get that since the two central characters were so... divided.

At best you get to re-contextualize the reactions of the characters around them, but that alone was never enough for me, so that's why this is my pick.

Fight Club. Really good, but just hasn't ever had the same impact on repeat watches.

With a lot of other "plot twist" movies, you can at least enjoy repeat viewings because you see and enjoy all the signs, and maybe even pick up new ones. But Fight Club, despite being excellent, doesn't really execute the repeat view appeal very well at all imo.
