Those things are not related. You are thinking of wage.

Then get your asses in order. If you have doubts, the French across ye pond taught pretty well how to use guillotines to achieve it. Didn’t you guys also have a mask guy do the same?

Not when it’s for fascism. But as soon as it’s something for the progress of society, you can bet your ass people will suddenly find tons of limiters.

Eh, if it’s an unfair law it has to be fought. And since we have seen in Trump’s world the courts are not the place for that, I can think of very few places to do it. Most of them can equip guillotines, tho.

Who even uploads porn to imgur? There’s far better hosts for that…

The law was announced a long time before it came into effect,

Isn’t one of the basic principles of law that laws can not be made retroactive so as to arbitrarily extract punishment? if someone tells me “we’ll implement this law in 2026” and they do commit, then I’m unconcerned until 2025-12-31.

Hexchat dead? I just checked on Sid and it’s available. Heck, I forgot I had it installed.

Reminds me a bit of, what was it, Industria? The dystopian tower port city in Future Boy Conan.

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

Statistically speaking, for advertisers. That’s, like, four levels removed from “dogs” and three from “bitches”.

Yeah but in this situation it’s like, going from 3.5 standards to 4.5.

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.
