What some call "compression artifacts," I call "extra crunchy."

It's actually pronounced gay-peg, to balance out gif being pronounced jiff.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think this is the best one here. Hey can you send me that document as a gaypeg? Thanks!

From JPEG.org, jpeg stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Ph = F, ergo JPEG = JFEG. I irrationally dislike jpeg, so I will now try to call it jfeg as some light fun. I think more people shoulda normalise calling common things silly alternate pronunciations that are still clearly recognisable as the original word, just to add the whimsy of getting to chuckle silently to yourself thinking "that's not how that's said!"

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Get jfegged out of here, you jif lover.

[–] EtherTide@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

thankfully, I can still call it gif bc the creator of .gif says jif. I shiver at the thought of jif...

Jandalf didn't light the beacons of Jondor so naturally the kinjdom of men must fall.

I'm not putting up with that, I'm going to convert them all to pung files asap.

I prefer to use the lossless format of PNG, pronounced as Ping.
