@icedquinn I was unaware of parallel. I installed it, blinked, and the process was done!

I have a big list of URLs to files. What's the easiest way to download all of them?

@icedquinn not a good thing when it is my 3-year old doing the warming while he sleeps. 🤢

@icedquinn You're an Irish ginger? I wonder if that explains a lot ...

@Suiseiseki Here I thought that both png and webp were lossless formats. I tried with optipng, cwebp, and Gimp, with no noticeable differences to the file size

Does anyone know how to convert my images from webp to small-ish png? Right now when I run dwebp, the resulting png is at least triple the file size of the webp. But when my camera saves directly to png, it's same quality but much smaller filesize. What's with this?

"can introduce naive people to IT". I am interested in arguments about whether this is actually a good thing or not (the fact that we are talking here on Mastodon might indicate our bias on this point)
