@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)

@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

words cannot overstate the incredible work that @julia has done for sharkey. thank y'all, everyone on the timeline who has shown your support to her through the course of this latest security release.

reminder that sharkey is a labour of love built upon a mountainous tower of slop, and any amount of work done to improve it is nothing short of a miracle.
