    What a dumb comment.

    All of that adds up when you have thousands or tens of thousands of images. Or even when you’re just loading a very media-heavy website.

    The compression used by JPEG-XL is very, very good. As is the decoding/encoding performance, both in single core and in multi-core applications.

    It’s royalty free. Supports animation. Supports transparency. Supports layers. Supports HDR. Supports a bit depth of 32 compared to, what, 8?

    JPEG-XL is what we should be striving for.

        shut up nerd

        He said, on Lemmy. On the Technology community. On a submission about image formats.

        If nerdiness, or discussion about image formats or other tech bothers you, why are you even here?

        Moving on from that…

        There’s storage improvements. There’s server side considerations for storage, processing, and energy efficiency. There’s poor mobile data connections to contend with.

        There’s better compression (I’m guessing you don’t like artefacts all over images, or other oddities stemming from bad compression?)

        There’s still HDR support. There’s still the support for animations. There’s still support for transparency. There’s still support for layers.

        Imagine being upset about the prospect of their being a vastly better image standard. Are you that desperate to be contrarian? Are you that desperate for attention?

          You are totally right AND He’s making a valid point with his sarcastic joke of “shut up, nerd!”

          “Nobody cares” means companies dont want to spend money to incorporate it if there’s no demand from consumers.

          Most consumers have no idea what a jpeg even is.

          It won’t be until Apple or someone brands it as an iPeg and claims you have a smol pp if your device doesn’t have it that folks will notice.

          Im reminded of telling folks about shoutcasts and nobody cared. Then apple comes out with podcasts and everyone was suddenly excited about 8 year old streaming tech

            Yet for some reason, browsers started supporting other formats like WebP, even though even fewer consumers wanted them. This makes complete sense when looking at it from the perspective “the companies try to save money and increase market share without caring about the consumer”. How do you explain it from yours?

              Excellent point on the webp.

              I’m guessing that being google’s baby they integrated it into chromium

          I know my audience.

          I’m not upset there’s a new better stronger faster harder standard, I’m just telling you why nobody cares about your jpeg2000 v2

            Whatever you say. After all, you must be right. You’re a contrarian on the internet. You’re quirky and different. You’re not like the other girls.
