What’s it called if you’ve done all of these?
oathbreaker
Never asked chatgpt, or the camera.
But otherwise, yahtzee.

I’m using Xnview’s shell extension to convert images to PNGs, what am I?
chaotic neutral and proud of it
Where does “just change the extension to .png” fit in this chart?
Pure evil
Taking a pic with your phone sounds chaotic evil to me
Yes, that’s the only one that destroys the image.
Sure I use imagemagick but I prefer the mogrify command, because I take no prisoners. Is that still considered lawful good?
download from chrome
go into files
select file
press f2
change webp to png
die inside
people hate webp but the issue is more on windows and partially on Google
Google killed jpegxl (webp but compatible) which would’ve made everything easy to work with, and Microsoft didn’t even bother adding webp as a format which is just crazy
This is the first time i got lawful evil in one of these kinds of memes
Where is “changing the file type extension” in the name?
That has to be Chaotic Evil.
that would be renaming the file extension but keeping the same format opening it up in an app that breaks it totally, then saving that and sharing it with a Windows user and spending an hour with them trying to make it work because they have to see it!!!
You’ll quickly learn which software trusts extensions and which uses MIME type detection
You know who used to do that? Microsoft Teams. I would take photos with my phone and upload them via Teams, Teams would display them just fine but saving them teams would name them .png (even though they were jpeg) and I couldn’t open them with the gnome image viewer (this is also how I found out that the image viewer prioritizes extension over magic byte (which seems stupid to me).
That’s not on the chart because it doesn’t convert it. It only renames it. A JPEG ending with .png is still a JPEG
That’s what the mimetype cult wants you to believe.
One could argue that they have converted it, but it was done poorly.
In a similar sense, the screenshots and phone photos are not conversions. They are entirely new images.
I would say that’s not comparable. One process (screenshotting or taking a photo as PNG) results in a PNG as the output. The other process results in an image of the same format as the output. I guess at best you could make a philosophical argument as to what is ontologically a PNG: is it something that ends in
.png, or is it a file that follows the PNG format? I think most people would say the latter, so if we say the definition of something is just a description of how it’s used, then the former process results in a PNG and the latter process does not.Also, how is screenshotting an “entirely new image” in a way that e.g. putting it into GIMP and exporting to PNG isn’t? That’s doing the same thing. You know there isn’t some “canonical” JPEG to PNG algorithm, right?
I’m the ffmpeg guy. It’s the pandoc of binary media, except it actually does do everything.
Hmmm. I need to write an RP for converting mardown to jpeg.
Where on the chart does studying spec sheets and writting rasterization algorithms in c fall?
I would probably put that as being similar to the “Chaotic Good” with ffmpeg.
Decode the image with ffmpeg, pipe it to imagemagick and encode it again
It’s missing the “take a screenshot on your mobile phone” (which drives me nuts when people do this instead of sending me the link or the original photo).
lol you triggered me hard
But to be honest sometimes the Google app is bugged and it doesn’t let you save the image, no matter how many times you open the long-tap menu and tap on “Save image”. It makes me furious.
That’s a bug? I thought they had done it on purpose
Look at bottom centre
Bottom centre is like taking another phone to photograph the one displayed on your phone.
No wonder it’s pure evil.

“Take a bad picture of the PC screen” is also missing
I assume bash scripts using
jpegtopnm | pnmtopngare also in the neutral good category (from Netpbm).I needed to crop a couple of images a few days ago and completely forgot about graphical editors. I spent like 10 minutes repeatedly using imagemagick with slightly tweaked parameters until I liked the crop
I needed to do the same, but for 6500 images. Worked out great.
