Reposting this since the original got deleted (except on the instances where it was federated in time) when my beehaw account was erased alongside a week worth of data a few months ago.
Came across the image and thought “why not post again?”, I don’t know if I still stand by the meme, but frankly I don’t care…
I just want to schizopost

I have mixed feeling here.
On one hand avif is a libre format.
On the other hand:
- Avif has MAJOR limitations for a long term use (i.e. 65.538x 65.538 max resolution among other things)
- JpegXL has REVERSIBLE in place conversion to and from jpeg. You can convert jpegs into jpegXLs and gain the size benefits. You can undo the change and convert jpegXLs back into original jpegs all losslessly.
- JpegXL has progressive loading which supports people on slower internet speeds. AVIF does not.
Like I want to like avif but it’s hard for it to compete here I think. It’s like cheering for Theora over x265 just because it’s libre. Ideologically yes it makes sense to do so but good god is x265 better than Theora. (Not saying Theora is a representative open video codec though) Just that JpegXL is that much better.
My internet is so bad that on some tests I’ve gotten ~1mb/s. It averages about 5mb/s, so progressive loading is important for me.
Look at this guy flexing his internet speed. I have 4G because despite fiber being less than 300m away they won’t bring it. Am near a freaking Olympic stadium so you my think I’d have the best internet but nope, it gets as slow as 32kb/s and even lower. I had times where images gradually load like it’s the 90s again and even sites telling me am not connected/going offline mode randomly. I think i need to also mention websites never loading or taking literal minutes to do so.
