Which one of you bloody Lemmy nerds created this wonderfully wacky website? I found it when searching how to make gifs in Linux. Haven't tried the tutorial but it looks super detailed and nice!

I found it when searching how to make gifs in Linux.

So, the files there --- at least some, if not all --- are WebP, not GIF. Which is probably generally desirable, as for most content, WebP is going to provide better compression and visual quality.

(I'm assuming that you're talking about animated video files.)

EDIT: Actually, WebM would probably be preferable to WebP for video.

For a noob, is it worth learning how to decode it?

Edit: not that hard. Can confirm both funny and rude.

Could be referencing Margaret Lovatt, but still not really funny. The BtB episode about it was pretty funny though.

Webm is a great format! I've converted (almost) all my media to webm for the space benefit, and it means jellyfin and other media streaming apps don't have to transcode to make just about any connection work natively.

That is a pretty great tutorial. I mean, sure, there are easier ways, but not with the same quality. Bookmarked. Thanks for posting.
