@KayFaraday In fact that's what I hate about Google. They develop some thing and want everyone to support it, they develop the next thing that's marginally better and want everyone to support that. That's what turned modern web browsers into monstrosities they are and made web a mess.
Like… brotli — who needs this thing, who asked for it? 😩

@KayFaraday Well, don't get me wrong, I don't think that WebP is good for nothing, it does have its uses. So does JPEG2000, JPEG XL and several codecs based on PNG. Should all web browsers support all of these? I think it's a bad idea. It doesn't do something completely new like SVG, it's not significantly better like h265 vs h264, it does what was already possible and only marginally better. It's not enough to become the new de-facto standard — that's my opinion.

@KayFaraday
> there always are corner cases
For example, I've seen with my own eyes several YouTube videos, where VP9 (YT format 248) stream's size was bigger than h264 (YT format 137), but it doesn't mean that h264 is better, in fact it's the opposite, VP9 is better on average.
But only marginally so. So I still hate it 😅

@KayFaraday
Huh 🤔
I thought maybe Privacy Possum or uBO might have caused it, but I tried disabling both — still doesn't load.
Well, anyway, maybe using lossless codec like PNG doesn't make sense in case with that image? AFAIK WebP offers both — lossless and lossy. When WebP uses lossy compression it makes sense comparing it to JPEG. When I said 10% I meant and average webpage with several images, comparing particular images head-to-head might be different, there always are corner cases.

@KayFaraday
"Oops! We couldn't find that page"
Broken link?

@KayFaraday I admit, It does have superior compression, but not a game changer, I think it's 10% better on average. I mean I get why Google is interested in it, for them 10% is a lot if they save on that bandwidth, but for everyone else it's not that obvious.
And it hinders the development of new browsers — if it's not based on already existing engines, because once it's universally excepted you have to support it — one more thing to implement 🤷

@KayFaraday
> I unconditionally hate everything Google
Well, except for Go maybe. I really like the language and I respect Rob Pike, but I hate that it's reliant on Google infrastructure and I don't like the direction they are taking with the language as a whole.

@KayFaraday I unconditionally hate everything Google that's my thing 😅
I wish WebP would just cease to exist, together with WebM, VP9, http/2, http/3, etc.
You won't believe the lengths I went to get rid of WebP on my Void boxes, I have half the templates for imaging-related software patched and build the packages myself. It's not that easy with Firefox as it doesn't use libwebp and has its own implementation.

@KayFaraday I wish someone did that to Firefox for me 😋
I know I can disable it with about:config var, but I know the code is still there.

@thor Because hierarchies are a horrible way to arrange objects of the same rank. These should be tags, not folders, adding folders to Springboard was a mistake — this is where the UI of iOS went wrong: "Why are we thinking about this shish, let's make the user arrange this mess of apps himself!"
I think they've fixed it a couple of years ago, now apps are arranged into categories automatically and one app can belong to more than one category — at least that's what I've seen on my mom's iPad.

@JeanPhilippe This old man is also always cold and wants to sit on your lap. Or wants you to turn on electric heating 😂

@thor I used to wear a brown suit jacket and a brown Tasmanian Devil t-shirt underneath it 🤣

@neural_meduza Ну почему именно в понедельник? 😠

There is no such thing! 😂
@root

@thor In my experience weighted decisions are the worst. Because they mostly come down to doing nothing 😅

@thor Looks more like some satyr TBH 😄

@pescetarian Яшин ещё! Когда человек выходит с плакатом только чтобы отправиться на пару суток в обезъянник, потом получает штраф и отправляется домой, я это ещё допускаю. Но когда такое бессмысленное действие совершает политик, да ещё и садится в тюрьму, у меня возникает ощущение, что тут что-то нечисто 🧐
Но сторонники конечно скажут: «Как можно думать такое? Он же в тюрьму сел за наши грехи!» 🤷

@mangeurdenuage What does Sony have to do with Tomb Raider, wasn't it published by Eidos at the time? 🤔
I think there was a nude patch for the first Tomb Raider game that changed the texture, but the shape was still… this 😄

@splitshockvirus
It used to be Debian's problem, but now Ubuntu is just as bad.
Yeah, using Gentoo doesn't sound like a bad idea at this point.
