sorry for making

interesting fact... "spamming" actually comes from this "spam" canned meat brand ... and it goes back to a monty python episode related to containing menu items...

@crazycells I'll have me some spam spam bacon eggs and spam

[crazycells]

and additionally name of the "phyton" programming language comes from "Monty phyton"... since the coder was a fan of the show...

good old monty phyton... a classic...

After Skype emoji, the logical next step would be to add the unhinged Teams legal stickers

Or at least the Clippy ones

(I mean, more logically, a fluent emoji pack fits better here and would be simple to make - especially since the emoji are released under MIT license, but the stickers are funnier - and I'm not a fan fluent emoji designs so I'm personally not interested in it existing)

On my forum, I made support for animated stickers from Telegram, it looks good and the size of the vector animations is smaller than the GIF animation (3KB vs 2MB)

I really wanted to make a scientific article here, but I'm afraid users will not appreciate the huge number of steps

1. manual conversion of stickers
2. manual creation of small static images for sticker previews
3. creating a new widget for the post editor to make a sticker selection menu like for emoji
4. adding a new script to the head
5. chillout from the result

🤟 Hard work for crazy

@brazzerstop on the contrary, I think there are a number of people who enjoy reading and using your tips, so if you feel the inclination, you should post.

I did the same for my OGProxy but put it on my own site 🤭

@phenomlab I agree! Putting up the guide doesn't necessarily mean it's a waste, someone might find it useful

The downside is if they can't get it working then you will be obligated to provide support

That's why OGProxy is on my site and not here!!

(an emoji is worth at least 5-10 words, no?)
