Tf is an avi

[–] vind@lemmy.world 77 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 40 points 8 months ago (3 children)

But... there's no i?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 33 points 8 months ago

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

[–] spizzat2@lemm.ee 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Along with the frog in the lift, of course

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 8 months ago

Avatai my brother.

It’s a great thing we don’t type those extra three characters ong frfr

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 months ago

I still call them buddy icons when I’m not thinking :facepalm:

.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."

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Probably due to you not remembering them

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

You're not wrong.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

The ravage of time I guess?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Well do you at least remember DviX?

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

DivX, no?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

That's quite possible haha.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The compression format or the failed rental format?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I'm assuming you're correct

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 26 points 8 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.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Much frog
