Fair enough. But can we just settle on one? The various formats aren’t much of an issue on desktop. Gets much more annoying when you’re primarily a mobile user and you have to wait for the various apps to support the new format fad.
to me the real problem is that most of us rely on really old protocols that would require standardization to be able to use these new, better, fomats. i can’t send my friends webps and avifs if my friends are reliant on mms to recieve what i send them. so it’s less a problem with oses and viewers and more a problem of needing to support the least technological protocol in frequent use
Dang, I hadn’t even heard of avif yet. I wonder if that’s why I just get an error and a little broken image icon instead of being able to see whatever the post’s image is.
Ugh, first webp, now avif? Why can’t people just post a gods damned jpeg?
Because it’s an inefficient format. Webp and avif are both a whole lot more efficient.

OK here’s the deal if you can make the AI data centers go away I’ll start posting webp instead of jpeg
huh…? how are AI datacenters relevant here? I’d make them go away if I was some kind of wizard but sadly I am not
I dunno lol I was pretty caffeinated this morning, and I suppose on my usual soapboxes.
Unless you want to download it.
Get a real OS or rather a real media viewer LOL
I wouldn’t have phrased it so harshly, but I agree, media viewers really should support modern formats.
