@solonovamax haven't considered jxl much yet, but AVIF looks very cool! don't wanna consider more than two image formats right now- learning vulkan is already a tall order ;p

@solonovamax interesting! just read through and it does look pretty cool- it's file sizes certainly seem comparable to png, albeit often lag behind a little, but the encode/decode speeds run circles around it.

i'll keep this in the back pocket if i need to rapidly load and save textures!

@mjdxp the amount of times i have beat my head against the wall of running various linux distros on my lenovo g500 (intel i3 3110M, 8GB DDR3, integrated graphics) trying to squeeze more performance out of it, and ultimately having to accept that yes, hardware that was cheap e-waste when it was built a decade ago is still going to be cheap e-waste today

@memoria @june i would easily encode everything i record in AV1 if i had hardware-accelerated AV1 encode- unfortunately now is not the time to be investing in a new GPU ;p

i should see if OBS supports opus! i've only really considered it for live audio but it makes sense to just use it for VOD if i can tweak the quality to be high enough

@memoria honestly the fact that animation is just. supported. out of the box. that's so incredibly cool

@memoria wow, impressive! i've never benchmarked the two. wonder how that compares to AVIF

@lizzy @julia ok, cool! most software i know of doesn't support openrc though, and i'd have to write my own scripts to get it up and running.

most software that supports daemonisation will provide systemd units out of the box. i've rarely seen software that does (fwiw void repos did provide runit service scripts on some surprising occasions, but it's very hit-or-miss, as is with any alternative init system)

@theresnotime @rexo i researched chroma subsampling extensively while trying to figure out how to improve the quality of my recordings :3

@theresnotime little birdie told me you still have to go to the microsoft store to download webp support. on what fucking planet

@rexo @theresnotime apple doesn't support a number of a/v formats that come off as really bizarre from them. for example, 4​:4:​4 chroma subsampling, which allows for storing much richer and more vibrant colours.

4
​:4:​4 requires 24-bit colour sure, but it's not like apple has ever had an issue handling really heavy media formats before.

@rexo "actively reject" i can literally just not bother writing the code to support jpeg and that would be enough LOL

@lizzy @julia as an ex-void user as of a month or so, despite loving runit as an alternative, it's one of the reasons i switched to fedora.

i too would rather software that's maintained over software that isn't, regardless of how i feel about AI use.

unless you can give developers some way they can maintain their massive (and highly depended upon) codebases, this is the trade-off.

@theresnotime webp is happy to facilitate high-quality fox pictures!

(chances are your instance already transcodes images to webp on upload; it's a very common practice)

@june i also would take AV1 out to a delightful full-course romantic dinner and pay the entire bill. so yes AVIF would be really funny too

@theresnotime an open format designed by google for delivering images! primarily target at the web for its strong quality/size compression over other formats, while also supporting lossless

it gets a lot of shit from people because it had awkward software support at its launch, and windows still has abysmal support for the format. if you're on linux, you've likely never had this issue.

TIL webp supports lossless.

i am currently learning vulkan.

my rendering engine will now exclusively support webp textures.

@june this is a really great point, actually! (very welcomed given the anti-webp discourse i've heard prior). yeah, having a dedicated extension to easily differentiate lossy/lossless images would be really nice to have! either that, or better system integrations that can tell you based off headers in the data whether or not it's losslessly compressed.

i should actively write software with webp in mind over png and the like just to upset people who don't know what they're talking about
