Needs more jpeg.
About that… we could record someone’s every word and different people would read entirely different things into it. Consider how strangers have reacted to your own internet comments.
Ray Bradbury famously directly told people they were interpreting Fahrenheit 451 wrong while he was alive and they still didn’t believe it
Bradbury just complained that people were gonna stop buying his books. He gripes in multiple books that people dont read anymore since that’s how he made money.
Well, for thot pics, there’s always more jpeg. For everything else, there’s lossless data formats.
I’m doing my part
Ironically this is original data we are viewing now.
Well it wasn’t even posted on your instance, so you’re already just viewing a thirdhand copy of it
Despite that its still the same actual bits of data
It’s identical, but it’s not the same bits
Heh, heh…
The Bits of Theseus
yes it is. all electrons are just the same one moving very fast.

See, that’s why I started using JPEG-XL for long-term storage. Apart from being better in every aspect for lossless and near-lossless still images than any competitor, the generation loss even over 1000 lossy save and load cycles is negligible.
That really doesn’t matter when someone screenshots your JPEG-XL and posts it in a website that transcodes it to WEBP and adds a water mark.
