It is a modern successor to formats like WebP & JPEG. WebP was barely competitive with JPEG

As an Android user, I'm considering switching to iPhone due to how much worse the Android experience is becoming without Google Play Services. I'm using a custom ROM with microG, which potentially means no RCS since it is only available through Google Messages which doesn't work with microG.

As much as it would suck jumping ship, at the very least, Apple is still a consumer hardware company first & foremost while Google will always be an ads company. Android exists to that end & that end alone.

Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly

I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish

I think the wave of hype sort of overshadowed a couple of key points about these chips:

• Performance & efficiency aren't leaps & bounds ahead of the Intel & AMD crowd
• ARM Windows laptops are still Windows laptops

Battery life is hardware and software.

.tar.zst forever

I'm partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I've found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess

I'm glad Fedora has GNOME as default. The KDE spin appears to be well-maintained enough for those interested to enjoy it.

WebP images are not bad. Not great, but not bad. The lossless mode is quite good. It is on the software you use to support WebP.

I'm happy with Wayland

Chrome OS.

Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you're already pulling away from M$

GNOME for sure

Aside from the backdoor (which is a moot point when talking about zstd anyway), there are a number of other very good reasons to use ZSTD.

Imagine playing games

Yes, it works on Wayland. I'd also give GNOME's Console a shot.

Pop! OS

Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I'd be a fan of defederating, tbh

Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages

Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.
