Venia Silente

Where’s the emotion of the hunt in that!!!

Trump has already shown that greenness of cards means nothing to him, so it’s not like these people would be losing any immigration safe ground by not suing.

Needing a full JS engine to run on your user account for Youtube? What are the privacy and security implications here?

Yeah! Believe it!

That’s still not patent free. Heck it’s right there: “irrevocable (unless we say so)”.

It does, yes, but from what I gather it’s rather difficult to actually encode such an animated image compared to, say, a GIF. Display should work just fine.

A file format can not, by itself, be “incompatible” with a website. What matters is the browser, and Firefox at least is adding support (slowly), and they are the ones who matter ATM.

Open is not the same as patent-free, the two things can coexist (and they do in the case of webp).

It’s open to write the code, but in order to be authorized to use it you have to get a permit from Google. You can’t eg.: fork from Firefox and use their permit (as you implicitly could with patent-free). Plus, Google can rescind their patent grant at any point, which they are bound to do once they secure ownership of the internet.

That’s good to know! If I ever get to make an instance of anything in the Fediverse and I set it to save images (lol, fat chace), I’m setting it to either JPEG-XL or XPM.

AV1 is for video though? JPEG-XL is patent-free, better performant than most or all alternatives, and made for images.

These are factors webp was designed for.

I thought it was designed so that Google could continue to de-facto own the web.

JPEG-XL exists, is factually better, and is not patent encumbered.

Oh yeah also you have to use the terminal for practically everything (even audio control in calls).

pfff easy, M-a C-x C-volumedown. Good ol’ Emacs.

Oh that one is easy: most stuff is in the browser nowadays.

So… Linux phone when, then?

I can think that if it’s not from an accident then it’s something worse.

As a non-amerikkkan who studied history back in the day, check French history. They explored some ways to become rid of bad people in power in general.

Alleged shooters. I have not seen any conviction on Luigi yet.

Aren’t private trackers just toby clubs for dick measuring upload speeds?

Now now, how can you possibly experience the satisfaction of having cleansed yourself of cringe after-the-fact from watching paint dry?
