  • For f*&% sake, I'm using JPEG XL on my website for some high res images that are amazingly well compressed using it, and especially to reduce the repository size on Codeberg. Only now discovered that only my niche main browser, Zen, renders them. What a stupid decision; their compression of high quality images is superior. Perfect to use alongside AVIF which does better in low quality images and illustrations and the like, or PNG which is best at preserving images containing text such as screenshots.

  • So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

    1. Always use uBlock Origin in a Firefox-based browser (e.g., LibreWolf, Zen).
    2. Never click on links in communication of any kind that you didn't expect or are too good to be true.
    3. Never reinstall Windows.

  • Exactly what I Iearned by working in a scientific institute for 3 years. Before that I put scientists on a pedestal and wanted to be one. Now, not anymore. They are as flawed and morally mediocre as most of the general populace.

  • Ah, well, good thing your feeling is more important than any potential source of actual data.

    That's not at all what it says; sarcasm is uncalled for.

  • I feel like ⅒ is a gross overestimation and regular search engines should consume at least 100 times less than GPTs.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • “Ecofeminists examine the effect of gender categories in order to demonstrate the ways in which social norms exert unjust dominance over women and nature. The philosophy also contends that those norms lead to an incomplete view of the world, and its practitioners advocate an alternative worldview that values the earth as sacred, recognizes humanity’s dependency on the natural world, and embraces all life as valuable.” —https://www.britannica.com/topic/ecofeminism

    Yes. Because it goes hand in hand with Cynicism, my main guiding philosophy:

    Cynic: “an adherent of an ancient Greek school of philosophers who held the view that virtue is the only good and that its essence lies in self-control and independence” —Merriam-Webster

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • Either:

    1. A smarter and wiser population able to discern and care enough that they're being cucked by Microsoft, overcoming the inertia to install Linux.
    2. Linux invents a game/feature that is so goddamn appealing that everyone wants in on the action.
    3. Preinstallation.

  • This "magic" requires a certain dose of privilege to be enjoyed. Fairly certain nearly everyone has the cognitive potential to do so, but unless we tax the rich, not the potential privilege.

  • Chuckled loudly, but couldn't resist checking its veracity:

    Why are fossilized hairs so rare?“[…] The rarity might be explained by feathers and hair containing different types of the protein keratin, which may impact the likelihood of fossilization. However, the study notes that the lack of hair samples could have nothing to do with fossilization, and be explained by the collecting behavior of paleontologists, with a single feather usually being much easier to identify than a single hair.
