And I’m glad that the UK left the EU, because now the EU has its own Cuba in front of its shores. Makes life more interesting, doesn’t it?

Yes, and I agree with you. People should have choice of what format they use because different people have different needs.
I don’t hate AVIF inherently for its technology. I hate it for what it stands for. Namely, megacorporation Culture. One rogue manager has their feelings hurt and everyone bends over to accommodate them. Google has a fully SIMDified Rust decoder for JPEG XL that is fully standard compliant. But it doesn’t go into Chrome, because everyone just parrots the one guy that once made up some lie about it not “having public interest”. Best example is Google Interop 2025 not taking in JPEG XL. Literally every graphics software on the planet supports it, as well as multiple newspapers and CDNs want to use it, and I don’t mean the newspaper next door, I mean newspapers like The Guardian and CDNs like cloudflare. You can call Apple a lot, but the jpeg-xl implementation is some objective good for computing, Microsoft is slowly but surely rolling out support in Windows as well. Literally the only missing link in the chain is the Google Chrome browser, because it’s a monopoly.
And with that, I refuse to use it. Because if I were to use it and pump the numbers for AVIF, I would reinforce the blockade. Therefore I just can’t, even though the technology is very useful and that’s just another side of the Google Monopoly.

The newer iPhone models actually capture their images as JPEG XL and they have retired their HEIC images. All of Apple’s software has full native support for JPEG XL as well.

So technically, Jotaro doesn’t wear trousers in part 6, just shoes.

Agreed, I once knew a few people who kept them on indoors and their floors looked as appetising as you’d imagine, especially the carpets.
Maybe it’s a way of accelerating natural selection. If you survive having direct skin contact with the carpet, you’d be the chosen one or something like that.

I’ll take any excuse I can get to dump my perspective here. I love AV1 for video and I hate AVIF with a passion. Every video that I create is delivered in AV1, because it is incredibly useful, versatile and extremely powerful. Right tool for the right job.
Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with AVIF other than it tries to force a video codec into something that is that it is not meant for, namely a still image codec. I hate the drama around it that Google has created. Because the stupid cunt that created AVIF is an emotional slime, he tried to block JPGXL, a competitor for AVIF, from having official support in the Google Chrome browser. And because Google Chrome is a monopoly in the browser market, CDNs and other people who’d like to use JPGXL, since it has significantly better all around features for still images, cannot use it now.
Features of JPEG-XL:
- better still image compression than AVIF
- lossless JPEG transcoding
- progressive image loading
- universally usable from capture to delivery
- layer support with 4,099 channels
- CMYK Compatible
- 32 bits per channel
- no limitations on image size or colour precision
And all of that is thrown away because one bastard has his feelings hurt by user choice.
Thank you for listening to my useless TED Talk.

And usually the Americans, try to copy something they have seen in Europe. The beautiful stem circle from the Habsburgs got copied into whatever this is supposed to be.

“Thank you for your interesting query! Taking the plunge can be an intimidating endeavour, but done in the right way, it can be a very fulfilling experience. To start your journey 2 meters under, jump off a small object you feel comfortable with. As you gain experience with your newfound activity, work your way up slowly but surely. When you are ready to take the final solution, remember, it was not just the small jumps that got you there — it was all of the friends you did not make along the way.”
