  • Jpegs can make images with very small sizes that aren’t noticeably worse in quality (unless you go to incredibly low compression).

    They’re good for uploading as a final image when there’s no transparency necessary.

    Obviously, you don’t want to be working with jpegs if you’re an artist and still in the process of making the final image.





  • Used to believe that humanity would inherently self-improve, especially the more easily information became accessible.

    People couldn’t read and write at first, and didn’t know much about the world, and now we have instant communication and access to vast repositories of knowledge.

    I believed that people were naturally curious, and wanted to learn and figure things out. Education systems sucked, but with improvement it could foster that curiosity in everyone!

    Turns out that was incredibly naive. Humans have an inherent ego that tries to make themselves more than reality. Their problems are more real than another’s. Their inconveniences are more important than anything bigger-picture. I thought religion were old dinosaur structures of primitive belief systems that lasted for too long, but humans will literally make shit up or believe in some made up shit from someone else if it helps them ignore the inconveniences of reality.

    COVID-19 really helped sink that in.
