Short for avatar, which used to be the name for profile pictures

the schwa in /'a-və-ˌtär/ is a close homophone of /ɪ/ combined with English's habit of forming diminutives using /ɪː/

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

Sure there is. It's basically the only thing in the picture!

Along with the frog in the lift, of course

.avi was a video file format like .mpg back in the day when we had to download our porn one file at a time, slowly. Though in this instance I'm assuming it's a fucking stupid shorthand for "avatar."

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Oh, I'd forgotten about .avi's. Also haven't thought about limewire in about as long.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I too forgot all about .avi's. How did that happen?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Probably due to you not remembering them

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You're not wrong.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

The ravage of time I guess?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well do you at least remember DviX?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That's quite possible haha.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

The compression format or the failed rental format?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Compression format, xvid replaced it before the hevc codecs were invented.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm assuming you're correct

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Audio-video interleave, an early video container that sucked because you couldn't play it unless it was complete, making it unfit for streaming. The only use I can think of nowadays is to generate an NTSC MPEG-2 file that even early DVD+USB players will play, for testing composite video equipment.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

I think that's a typo but otherwise it's a file format

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago
