Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly

I don't know if Lemmy is the best place to ask, lol

Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.

WebP images are not bad. Not great, but not bad. The lossless mode is quite good. It is on the software you use to support WebP.

Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages

Lemmy.world has a storied history of being a shit instance. Go ahead & leave ASAP

  • joins Lemmy.world, notoriously mismanaged instance
  • stereotypes the rest based on one experience

I think this ties in to the grander idea of: please provide information that is helpful on a nontechnical plane of thinking. It goes a very long way

Data compression. Something about "making less data out of ... The same data" is really mind blowing, & the math is sick

I think everyone would rather development effort for games go into Linux as opposed to macOS.

Now, if only they would quit expanding coal mines to burn the dirtiest, nastiest possible coal.

And you'll still hear "Well I know everything about Windows sucks and now I'm being charged out the ass, but I refuse to even consider switching because [one particular game doesn't work / I'm used to it]"

There should be an instance with an actual registered organization behind it - privacy policy & all to back up its legitimacy. Without this, Lemmy is a hard sell for a lot of people who don't want to just hand off their information to a person who may or may not be doing certain things with it.

Chrome OS.

This post looks LLM generated

My Framework Laptop experience was really poor. Battery life was impossibly bad, Linux support was not as stellar as promised, the thing had the loudest fan I've ever heard, & my entire mainboard died & it took support 2 weeks to diagnose the issue. I'd go System76. I went with a Mac for Apple Silicon, & I'm going to try Asahi Linux soon

Aegis is my favorite.

As far as video types are concerned, Linux's multimedia codec support is much wider & more flexible than Windows via Windows Media Player. The app Celluloid for Linux (based on MPV) supports everything under the sun

Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I'd be a fan of defederating, tbh

The way Apple does this with Name Drop, where you have to bring your device very physically close to the other, sounds like a much better idea.

Yes, it works on Wayland. I'd also give GNOME's Console a shot.

I'm happy with Wayland

I like sending .tar.xz archives around. Windows users struggle, but anyone on macOS/Linux/iOS has no trouble at all

Here are the Linux results. macOS looks a bit different as well.

My TOTP codes

I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)

I don't think I'd be the same person without Adventure Time

Pixel 6 & newer, newer MediaTek devices, anything with the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 or newer. It took Qualcomm a while because many companies (including Apple) were holding out for VVC, which to this day isn't in a great state. iPhone 15 Pro & newer support AV1 hwdec

A service that so aggressively disrespects their free users is not a service I'd ever give my money to.

Sounds like you're entrenched. If that's the case, don't look at Linux until you've accepted that things aren't going to be identical to Windows & there will be drawbacks to your workflow as well as benefits

Let me know when you can use RCS on an Android phone without Google Play Services outside of Google Messages

It sounds like it is time to defederate. We'll miss the instance but we understand why it must be done

FYI, the Pixel 8's processor is certainly less efficient than the S23's. If it is reportedly getting better battery life, that's likely software related.

I'm partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I've found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess

Mostly positive. My encoding utility Aviator can be shipped with a custom community-backed SVT-AV1 fork in the background without anyone noticing any issues like they would if I linked to system SVT-AV1. Flatpak makes this kind of thing easy, and users don't have to think about it.

Just yesterday I overwrote some pacnew files and borked user authentication for myself. Very rough time
