Geez, that's some dedication. And where do you even get 64 working floppy drives?

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

It was posted 8 years ago, so slightly easier to gather up those relics then.

If I had to guess, the guy might have worked IT for a school or something that went through a modernization, with all the old tech going to the dumpster; got the idea and jumped on it.

I remember when it went down by half an inch a second. Those were the times

And websites would have a link to a page and say "Warning! This page contains a lot of pictures!" so you wouldn't click it unless you were prepared to put your other browsing on hold for a little while

I was grabbing some files originally made for some old DOS software a few years ago and the site had a warning for the 20MB text file download. Like, my good friend that's just the front page of CNN these days! Thank you for your concern but now it just seems quaint rather than thoughtful

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Didn't GIFs load from the bottom?

[-] Verat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

It was top to bottom unless the image had a rotation flag in it. I don't remember if it was just PNG that had that or if other formats could too.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I distinctively remember GIFs loading bottom to top, left to right, which does not make sense with a rotation flag. Not sure why you're pulling PNG into this, that's an entirely different file format.

[-] Verat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Not sure why you're pulling PNG into this, that's an entirely different file format.

Just mentioning what format I remembered it with since I dont remember if the rotation flag was in the image file formatting, in the webpage, or if it could be specified in either place.
