Every time I have to fire up my Fb account, I’m stunned at how shit React is. It’s appalling how bad that framework has become. Maybe if they cared about implementing solid code and less about raping your life of metadata in order to sell you the worst products on the planet thru their “partners” things would be better.

Not many processors have AV1 hardware decoders yet (Apple thru them in on their M3’s last year and latest iPhone 15 Pros) so I can’t see it being that. There’s also software decoding that works fine. My wallpaper on macOS has been avif since last year (Sonoma) and works without issue. I don’t think it works in Windows 10 tho. No issues with the latest Ubuntu and I’m not familiar at all with Android OS.

In any case, I think it’s the best thing to come out in a long time. My website with raw PNGs was about 120MB. I crushed those PNGs with noticeable quality loss down to 50MB. I then crushed the original 120MB down to 60MB with minimal to no visual quality loss using webp. But I got it down to 25MB without loss using avif at 85% compression. Just insane performance, couldn’t be more impressed!

What doesn’t support avif? Even Apple devices support it and they are usually the last to adopt anything. I’ve crushed all my website using it and it turns a 1MB image to 80KB without quality loss, absolutely amazing compression!

Right sort of like the belief dolphins always help humans lost at sea but that’s because you only hear the stories from the survivors. No, wait.

On the topic, how lucky are wineries that a vineyard decided to grow in their backyards?! Like what are the odds!

A stop gap till what? There just isn’t anything left to “labour” for?

It’s worded better in the US? 🙃

Typical Debian user clinging onto their dementia.

Clowns have it backwards. Instead of empowering workers to make better things, to receive better education and actually become a force in this modern world, they are empowering employers so they can exploit them more. It’s like their government has a collective IQ of 6 (+/- 3). You just can’t make up this level of stupid.

require staff to work up to two unpaid hours per day

Well ima head out

See that’s the thing, Debian was never good

Yeah I can’t even comprehend how that just passes as totally normal these days. Make it all make sense…

It’s sad how consumers have zero rights when it comes to digital content. Companies can retroactively make changes, removing content legitimately bought by consumers with no repercussions. I get “not owning” but for a company to collect money for services provided and not actually provide those services will never not astound me.

This meme makes a good point I’ll look into it tomorrow. I’m too busy ignoring the mountain of stuff I need to get done today to have the time

Over bananas boys. Bananas.

Even Denmark couldn’t handle the heat! Can you?!

First dude I’ve blocked on lemmy

Wait what? It dates back a thousand years? So what did people call the planet they lived on in 200 AD? Or 500 BC? Surely they had a word for it before then. Or did they feel they lived ON the universe?

OP in a totally healthy marriage 🙃

Reddit has hit rock bottom. I was banned from a sub because their bot crawled thru my history and found I “interacted” with subs they didn’t like (subs like fauxmoi). I said the fit on this girl didn’t do her justice and was shadow banned and my post locked because the sub apparently didn’t allow criticism of any kind. And that’s what Reddit is now. Subs with power hungry mods and admins, Reddit staff not even giving a fuck anymore, all of it makes the place such a ridiculous silo that if you say anything out of line in any sub, it’s downvote and likely removal of content at this point.

All the tech savvy people left (obviously) so now its edgy jokes and dumb suggestions. Call them out, and boom, downvote mob coming in hot.

What a fall in such a short time.
