Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
The built-in APIs for handling images (GDI+) added WebP support in 1809. This is mentioned in the the documentation for the drawing library in C#/.NET, which is a wrapper around GDI+: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.imaging.imageformat.webp?view=net-8.0
I haven't tried it in the Photos app recently, and don't have a Windows system handy right now to try it out, but I know it works for sure in Paint, which uses GDI+ for image encoding/decoding (and thus supports all formats that Windows itself supports).
Of course, apps that use their own encoding/decoding code might have fewer features and support fewer formats than the native Windows code.
Edit: Apparently it works fine in the Photos app if you just change the extension? Which means Microsoft is doing something weird. The code to decode WebP must be there.
God I love the nerd shit on lemmy
The end user doesn't work with Windows API. The end user works with web sites and apps, which are rarely native these days. And there you're often limited to png/jpg for uploads.
Oh god I could have just been changing the extension all along to open this stuff in Photos?? God damnit.
Again, barely lol
