Building a democratic state is hard to get right and when yours stops working properly, you should chuck it out and start anew. There are some states where freedom, democracy and median prosperity are holding up well in this neoliberal environment, so look at what they’re doing when rebuilding.

Also, always remember that fuck tankies.

Yeah, I guess if we’re being pragmatic/reasonable, you are right. I think jxl use and general adoption would be much more of a symbolic win than a technical one. The problem is that a new image format only reaches general adoption if Google supports it. Webp is a decent Google-developed standard that has reached general adoption because Google pushed and supported it and if Google doesn’t support jxl, then you can’t use it on the general internet.

This is not about jxl being the better standard, this is about the better standard being non-viable because Google doesn’t want it to be.

The caveat here is that jxl is not half as old as webp and this situation might change drastically in a matter of months (I bet ff would be quick to adopt jxl if Google did…) ((although the jxl standard is technically 3 years older than the webp standard))

Except webp has worse compression, doesn’t support HDR and has a max colour depth of 8bpc. What makes JPEG-XL great is that it covers loads of use cases and is very future proof.

Thank dog, we’re saved

My condolences

You sound like a lunatic traumatised war veteran. The war has been over for a long time, the decisions have been made and there is no going back, my friend.

What’s an ACAB?

This kind of rhetoric doesn’t sit well with me. There is a difference between being a pedophile and abusing children. Pedophilia is a mental disorder and I can imagine that being attracted to children is pretty damn terrible if you’re also trying to do the right thing. I think there needs to be acceptance towards pedophilia (not towards abusing children) so that the affected people feel safe in talking about their condition and get the appropriate help (so that they don’t end up abusing children).

Refunct. Can recommend.

I haven’t had any such run-ins yet. When I asked them to replace my iPad’s batteries, they said that they couldn’t do it, but gave me a new iPad of the same model for CHF 100.- (which would have been the price of the battery replacement).
