    Please don't sit like that, I was sick on my keyboard

    That progressive decoding feature feels like magic! I really hope google changes their mind about JpegXL
  • @blunderingfool
    The fact Chromium can bump off JPEG XL because of market share is just, horrible. We really need more than Firefox running on their own rendering engines.

    Future computers trying to open a JPEG after searching image of hotdogs: "Do I look like I know what a JPEG is? I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog!"

    JPEG XL seems to be the better option to me, loading pictures top down sends us back to the 90s with dial up downloading images.

    Rip JPEGXL As a web developer, I would kill for progressive decode. I always spend hours implementing my own progressive decoding with thumbhash
  • @haggets_
    I've been following JPEG XL for a long long time, and i'm hoping that Apple's support for the format pressures Google into adding it for Chrome in the future

    beginning of the video: ah ok, philip ist nerding about image compression again... end of the video: to the weapons, we've gotta save jpegxl !!!

    masterpiece of a video mr phil, the pants, the antlers, the compression shots, niche fileformat talk, fluffykins... just perfection

    I'm convinced Phil lives in a different universe than us, that's experiencing floating point inaccuracy.
  • @Rossco1337
    i remember looking into what was blocking firefox support and it came down to chrome lacking support. "you can't just advocate for adding a new codec" but the moment chrome adds a new codec they'll race to have parity. google and apple are both shitty companies but at least they keep each other in check.

    Nice 0.1 second caboosing at the end there, Philip.
  • Philip is a master of making me care about subjects I previously did not care about
  • @dareisaysneed
    Neat. I've been using AVIF due to that study but I'll take another look at JPEG XL because the slow image loading of huge AVIF files is what has been bothering me.
  • @TheDakes
    Finally some attention for JPEG-XL! You mentioned some things I didn't even know, like the progressive decode. That feature would be an absolute game changer!
