My child will use ImageMagick

Published:

Meme in the "My child will X" format. Here the devil says "My child will USE A COMBINATION OF LATEST LOSSY AND LOSSLESS IMAGE FORMATS TO ENSURE AN IDEAL RATIO OF QUALITY, FILE SIZE, LOAD TIMES, AND COMPATIBILITY FOR ALL PURPOSES." Jesus on the other hand doesn't say anything: His speech bubble is instead formed by a screenshot of a unix terminal with the snippet "convert image.png image.jpg; rm image.png," which was executed and is followed by an ImageMagick deprecation warning.

Explaining the meme

Pretty much me putting pictures onto this site. Putting images into Git and onto GitLab with 1GB limit is crazy work.

The fact the snippet doesn't even use && and instead uses ;, which doesn't even check if the previous command succeeded before deleting the original file, is a cherry on top.
