If you are one of those people who actively uses webp, i hope you get cancer in your nails.

@Inginsub and don't get me started on people who use HEIC or AVIF

@hideki @Inginsub jpegxl is superior to either even by their own metrics. Too bad google pushes for inferior formats because of NIH.
@applejack @Inginsub @hideki Long time ago. The only obstacle is adoption by browsers, whose backing companies are suffering from NIH and peddling own failing bullshit.

@iamtakingiteasy @Inginsub @hideki >ISO/IEC 18181-1:2022

Nigga, that's this year. Since it's finally out though I should look at adding it to my software

JXL is cool but as of yet nothing supports it so it's not as useable as webp. I'll start adding it to my stuff though, at least as an optional feature

@applejack @Inginsub @hideki The spec itself was finalized long before that, most software started supporting it around 2010-2015.

@iamtakingiteasy @Inginsub @hideki Last year when I looked at it Gimp didn't even support it without an extension. Tested it now and works

It's getting there. Much better than I expected tbh

@applejack @Inginsub @hideki My memory is failing me. What I remember was actually a number of use-flags for gentoo/funtoo around that time under similar names, but those was either patchsets to libjpeg or jpeg-turbo, adding support. libjxl is indeed a reference for more formalized superset of same features and will only scheduled to complete standardization this year. Referenced spec is just the encoding details, file format is currently under way and there will also be docs for compliance and reference implementations.
Follow

@iamtakingiteasy @Inginsub @hideki Ye the docs rn don't look great. The API is documented but idk what it wants. I'll hold off for now
