The fact that Kissinger outlived Bourdain proves there is no God.

Though I almost wish Kissinger had lived long enough to see Trump piss away the American power and influence Kissinger sold his soul for. Kissinger should have lay on his deathbed knowing his successors squandered every advantage he won for America, that he steeped his hands in blood and made himself the greatest war criminal in history for nothing.

More compelling than the edit, thank you for posting this.

To be fair, this isn't just happening out of the blue. Apple had a bunch of zero day, no click vulnerabilities from its media decoders, which were some of the original Pegasus vectors. Complex media rendering is a very legitimate security concern, particularly in the browser space on general purpose machines. IDK if doing a full RUST implementation is the right answer, but the idea of not wanting to add a massive potential attack vector for redundant functionality is not completely insane.

The setting is image.jxl.enabled for those who want to try it.

can you even enable it as an option? I thought they removed it because of "attack surface" concerns

Safari renders them.

Firefox forks usually render them because Firefox supports it but Mozilla takes it out of packaged builds.

I had the luxury of seeing incredibly smart engineers speak about their new innovations for web development.

I then got to watch them get hired by Google and paid extremely well to release those innovations, with the support of a bunch of other brilliant people, often under a open-source label.

I then get to see people go, "Google Bad!" About those features, and because it was paid for by Google, they don't even want to touch it.

i just saw a post hating on webp on my timeline, and happened to have recently talked with a friend about image formats, wherein this image was made. so i just kinda thought it would be relevant to post

It’s been hot since webp was introduced.

Jxl is just the best image format at present.

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.

Except .jxl is backwards compatible with .jpg. You can losslessly convert a .jpg to a smaller .jxl file. Also .jxl is future proof and supports ridiculously high resolutions up to 1 terapixel.

Kinda missing the point here.

One company shouldn’t be able to pick winners and losers for file formats or protocols.

Google has done it over and over again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC

Pretty sweet gig, being able to give yourself an 8-year head-start.

JXL is better at what PNG does than PNG is
