03:00 schestowitz; However, do to the fact that Twitter and Facebook preview cards cannot fetch AVIF images yet, I will continue using WebP for the featured image and AVIF only for the images that I will be insterting in articles.

03:04 schestowitz; people have much faster connections now. so I think cross-platform/browser support should also be a factor. many of my machines still lack support for webp.
03:06 MinceR; coming from behind, eh? eh?
03:08 schestowitz; yes!

23:30 DaemonFC; "Sneyers' less optimistic predictions came true, though not with regard to royalties. Apple, Google, and Mozilla got behind AV1F instead. AV1F display support is already baked into Android 12, macOS 13, iOS 16, and a bunch of browsers (though not Microsoft's Edge, curiously)."
23:30 DaemonFC; LOL
23:33 MinceR; > baked into [...] macOS [...] iOS
23:33 MinceR; so how many patents does the MPEG LA own over it?

23:56 DaemonFC; "Google sucks. They (and Apple) are causing the very proliferation of pointlessly different formats they accuse JPEG-XL of."
23:56 DaemonFC; "There are too many image formats out there that are not clearly different enough from each other. I even have some WebP photos because its all I could get a Web server to give me."
23:57 DaemonFC; "One of the problems with all these even better than JPEG formats is the patents, but another is the support, like when you try to send off to Walmarts photo lab for prints.
23:57 DaemonFC; My spouses damned iPhone shoots to HEIF files, which are cumbersome to store in an authentic JPEG standard to send to be developed.
23:57 DaemonFC; Quite often there is even additional file data which is parsed out, making the thing look a bit worse than if he had a device, like Android, which shoots to JPEG to begin with.
23:57 DaemonFC; Im getting real sick of all these damn Google image formats. I was really hoping JPEG-XL would come about and be the de-facto standard for the next 30 years or so.
23:57 DaemonFC; But it looks like were in for an endless bout of Google codecs that last 3-5 years before theyre onto something else. They never stop and support what they do.
23:57 DaemonFC; At the first chance they get, they will ditch it and run."
23:58 DaemonFC; "There are too many image formats out there that are not clearly different enough from each other. I even have some WebP photos because its all I could get a Web server to give me.
23:58 DaemonFC; Now Google is walking away from that, and Ill undoubtedly have some AV1Fs at some point too."
