.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."

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

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

Probably due to you not remembering them

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong.

The ravage of time I guess?

Well do you at least remember DviX?

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

DivX, no?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

That's quite possible haha.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

The compression format or the failed rental format?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes!

I'm assuming you're correct
