A comic in four panels:
Panel 1: The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.
Gothic sorceress: “Hey, Avian Intelligence, what’s the incantation for summoning a fireball?”
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is “IgnisMe”.”
Panel 2: The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.
Gothic sorceress: “Alright, let’s give it a shot… IgnisMe!”
Panel(small insert in previous panel): Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.
Gothic sorceress: “?!!”
Panel 3: The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.
Gothic sorceress: “You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!”
Panel 4: As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: You’re absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is “PyroBolus”.”
Pretty sure it’s a jpegxl and, in my case, using brave as my default browser and Voyager as my Lemmy app produced the same thing (a low quality picture). Tracking down the url of the pic in brave yielded the same results, however, the identical url in Firefox yielded the full definition picture. Jpegxl uses the same container .jpg and can serve a lower definition of itself as it loads in full. The rollout for that codec and adoption is happening like right now. So that’s my guess.
