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.
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.

Except they can, remember fidget spinners?
To add on to what you said, the way I've always described my stance on the corporations are people argument is that I will believe they are people when Texas gives one the death penalty.
tbf they are only heavier because they are making them SUVs instead of coupes or sedans and trying to convince people that a 150 mile range isnt long enough for them as if they wont just plug it back in when they get home or as if they actually commute 75 miles each way. God forbid they have to wait for it to charge. Electric vehicles have the potential to be the same weight or lighter but car companies all suck.
Fair, but alot of people are going to wind up on a corporate social media anyways, and if they aren't willing to jump over to more private options this is a mitigation of the damage and simultaneously is an act of defiance, so while not the best choice, I still regard it as better than, say, anything Meta owns. So I feel this shouldnt be beaten down on so hard, but rather used as a chance to say "Yeah, that is a step, but here are some better options". Talking down about their choice on a platform they already aren't on as if it is somehow worse than what is being pushed on them is just screaming into the void.
I understand it perfectly, if american companies harvest their data, their govt is only a step from having it, and companies over here have immediate use of that data.
If the chinese companies have it, the chinese govt has it, and then what? Is china gonna prosecute us internationally with the info? At minimum they are making the US companies and govt crawl to china for the data they so desperately want.
Like, the US gets more use of data on US citizens than China would. Maybe if the concern was improving the security of american apps and data I would see the point, but seeing how many american companies continue to get away with it, it is blatant "America Good, others Bad"
Eh, I support places moving time zone but a bigger factor for me is also linguistic, it doesnt make sense for high noon at the place the time zone is defined at to be at 1 in the afternoon, the one thing I think alot of people can agree with is that 12 should be noon or as close as possible and I feel that DST works against this.
I support standard time more, the 12 o clock at the center of the timezone should be noon, not having noon at 1PM, and day lengths are better on average without. DST makes it better, but only for sunset times, it makes the mornings drastically worse and I think employers and schools should just change their hours if they care so much about sunlight when they leave.
Scruffing a cat poisons it into a coma?
We dont need compact apartment complexes, we have plenty of houses being hoarded by companies and landlords so they arent on the market and the few that are can have artificially high prices. There are "Cash for your house now!" signs everywhere where I live plus they keep mailing us too, and those are usually either landlords or house-flippers.
