If AVIF was not patent encumbered, AOMedia would not need to have a Patent License to allow open source use.
A majority of the most recent standards are effectively cabal esque private groups of Corporations that hold patents that on the underlying technology and then license the patents among each other as part of the standards org and throw a license bone towards open source. That can all be undone by the patent holders at their whim.
There's no need to create a standard format that's patent encumbered especially if they don't ever intend to monetize that paten,t. It's all about maintaining control of intellectual property and especially who was allowed and when they are allowed to profit from the standards.
Clawing control of patent infected media standards is far more important for a healthy open internet built on open standards that is not subject to the whims and controls of capital investment groups eating up companies to exert control of the entire technology standards pipeline.
Look it's all actually about re-encumberancing image file formats back into corporate controlled patented formats. If we would collectively just spend time and money and development resources expanding and improving PNG and gif formats that are no longer patent encumbered, we'd all live happily ever after.
That's obviously not what I was saying and not how I was saying it, and you know it.
Perhaps if you weren't so locked and loaded to attack anything not tightly fit into your bubble you'd react with reasonable questions and discussion as a response instead of trying to play gotcha nonsense.
When their entire account persona I was replying to is based around countering MAGA violence with more implied violence while not providing alternative solutions or even ideas, they're just acting as another side of the same coin of the asshole MAGAs that we rail against.
Remain calm, the MAGA gravy seals are not as worthy of the panic inducing threat category you fear they are in.
Rabid partisan politics can affect anyone to the point of advocating violence, as it obviously has done to you. You are acting as a provocateur, trying to reinforce an expectation of violence.
You say empathy is not a conservative trait, then demonstrate your own lack of empathy.
You say they see this as a team sports delusion, then treat it like one yourself. Every perosn has individual thoughts and decision matrixes, even the dipshit MAGAs. If you engaged with empathy rather than fear and arrogance, you'd be able to articulate a warning without that all or nothing doomer rhetoric.
A St. Louis circuit judge overturned Dunn’s murder conviction on July 22 and ordered his immediate release.
A judge's order is a legal order, Mr. Dunn should've walked out of the court room free on July 22. The AG Andrew Bailey should be thrown in jail for contempt of court and barred from holding public office ever again for violating the public trust, especially since he has attempted this multiple times now.
I think we just call him Vladimir Futon now.
