You can sort by actual file type in most search engines. Duckduckgo also has a specific ‘transparent’ option. I don’t know if that’s the case for others but they probably have it too.
Very good to fucking know. Thank you.
Yup, do
filetype:png
before the rest o' the search. You can also replace png with pdf, and other formats.
Bless you. Are there other DDG style "dorks" we should know about?
The one I gave works on other search engines too. There's also site:, which allows you to search within a specific site. E.g. searching for anarchism/marxism could be done by going for :
site:anarwiki.org/ council communism
You then get all pages from that site that mention council communism. Crucially, the site has to directly be after the : there. You can also use it for specific domains; for .org domains, you would then do
site:org anarchism
and so on.
You can also combine them, like:
site:anarwiki.org/ filetype:pdf anarchism
Another is apostrophes:
"word or phrase you search for"
If you do that, it will specifically only include results with those exact formulas, not something related to it. Again, also can be combined with the above.
--
Boolean strings ("yes/no") are also options, if you want to exclude specific options. You then you do -keyword.
For example,
"anarchism" -AI
tells the search engine: only give pages that mention anarchism, and no pages that mention AI.
Finally, there's the wildcard, where you do # or * or ? depending on the search engine. You can do:
queer pride in *
Which basically says to the search engine, search for anything that is like "queer pride in" AND has some other term in there. It lets you search more broadly. This is the only one I don't use often, because usually you need more specific information, but if you want to search further, that might be an option.
Go experiment around and test it all out! Hope it helps!
Thank you so so much!
I love you <3
no probs!
This is what happens when you ask ai for an image with a transparent background
There's pretty good free software and websites with ads for cutting out images these days. Should work perfectly with an image like that. It's not as much of a pain as it used to be. On Linux I use defuse (io.github.shonebinu.defuse on flathub)
got anything good for android?
I know there are apps but probably with ads. I would have to go and explore. I don't really edit images on my phone. I guess if I was using a tablet I would have a Linux install.
Or when searching the linked image is gone, and the cached image without transparency is your only choice.
Absolutely brilliant and accurate
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.
