Yeah, I can agree with that.
Yeah, I can agree with that.
I said a near-monopoly. Also, even if it’s foss, by creating the format, they established the baseline parameters of that format.
That gives them a significant degree of control.
Edit: I also hate it because so many of the programs I use don’t support it, so I constantly have to copy > paste into image editor program > Save as PNG.
Though admittedly this is mostly an adoption thing. Still, it’s a major problem.
Because it’s yet another example of Google’s near-monopoly over the Web’s architecture. It’s not healthy for good web development. It’s like the 90s and Microsoft all over again.
I mean, fuck, we’re already getting websites that’ve been “optimized” for Chromium-based browsers—in other words, semi-broken for non-Chromium browsers.
Honestly? I agree with you that the benefits seem kind of marginal. But I still think it’s a fascinating thing. :)
Edit:
On doing some reading about it and trying it out for myself, the file size reductions are hardly marginal. It’s actually quite impressive. Still, it seems for most people, including myself, that jpeg for lossy & png for lossless is more than adequate, especially with how cheap storage is nowadays.
(And, frankly, I appreciate seeing at a glance if an image is lossy or lossless, but I imagine that’s a priority most people don’t have. Lol.)
I will check that link out. Thank you. :)
I suppose that’s fair enough. 👍
I just didn’t want someone to get the wrong impression, that’s all. :)
This is so cool. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this!
Well of course. Those bastards want everyone to use their stupid WebP format.
On a related note, how does JPEGXL compare to PNG? Does it support layers?
Not necessarily. There are plenty of trans women out there who are 100% fine with having a penis and have absolutely no desire to have bottom surgery.
Same with trans men and vaginas.
As well as with nonbinary people and whatever genitals they had when born.
Being trans isn’t about your genitals; it’s about how you feel at a fundamental level.
Thank you for explaining!
versus globally
So is this a matter of personal profiles? Userspace would be anything within a particular user’s space, if you will?
Not OP, but speaking as a Linux newb, what is a “userspace” exactly?
Lmao, that tldr is fucking GLORIOUS.
I knew what DirectX was; I just thought X11 was an abbreviation for DirectX. Lol.
Ew.
That’s unfortunate.
Ah, so it’s like DirectX11/12? That makes sense! How come it’s never (presumably?) used on Windows?
Also…
Many issues due to being legacy
Many issues due to being Modern
Lol.
Edit: Okay, looking it up, it’s apparent that X11 is not the same thing as DirectX11. Lol.
This isn’t IRL, though.
As a Linux newb…
Short answer: it depends on the person and situation.
Long answer: it depends on the person and situation.
