    That reminds me of a hard working billionaire story:

    "How I made my first million:

    When I was a kid, we were poor. One day my dad gave me 20 pence. I went to the market and bought an apple. I polished it with my shirt, presented nicely and sold for 40 pence.

    Next day I bought two apples and did the same. On Saturday I already had sixteen apples and I knew my future was bright. On Sunday my aunt Sophia died and left me £1.5m"

        Damn, if only he hadn’t been discouraged from continuing when he became a millionaire. Sad story of wasted potential. Remember to never accept socialist handouts and always pull yourself up by your bootstraps kids.

    how did you cram that many jpg artifacts in a .webp?

    …does Lemmy convert everything to .webp? What is a .webp?

    When I was your age, we had two good formats for pictures on the internet: .jpg and .gif and we liked it. Then some upstart decided .png was the way to go.

    When should I schedule my hip replacement?
