Facebook acquires Giphy
« on: May 16, 2020, 12:17:31 PM »
Who cares? Well, if you like to use those annoying gif's in iMessage (or Twitter, or blah, blah), then you might care. :p

Personally all those moving gifs could go away forever as far as I'm concerned. ;)

In Chrome I have an extension that turns all these annoying gifs off, but haven't yet found one for Firefox. I need to research.

HA! Found one!

Thank you Jim - had a good chuckle at that  :notworthy:


Bit early for Christmas, but guess you had no idea how long it might take to create it  :toothgrin:

It took way more time to create than I would have had, if not for the current need-to-kill-time requirements!   I hope kim had her gif blocker disabled so she could enjoy the "show"!   Next thing we know we'll be hearing that we can't use two spaces after a sentence!!!   And we haven't even settled on a correct pronunciation of "gif"!!!

Jim, that sure is a cuuuute Christmas tree!!! ...and I notice your little man waving at me, flying his airbus!

As for how to pronounce "gif" -- well, the "g" is silent, yes?  :toothgrin:

It is if you don’t pronounce it! I thought the question was; is it like a “j as in “just” or a “g” as in “get”? All I know is I’m not happy about somebody buying my favorite peanut butter brand!! :rant:

I guess we’ll just have to ‘move’ on with life with an animation blocker. More of a ‘still-life’ existence! Perhaps we will have fewer reminders to stay active!!!

I gotta go find my potatoes. I think I left them on the couch... :scram:
