A balance has to be struck. The alternative isn't not getting anything better, it's being sure the benefits are worth the costs. The comment was "Why is [adding another decoder] a negative?" There is a cost to it, and while most people don't think about this stuff, someone does.
The floppy code was destined to be removed from Linux because no one wanted to maintain it and it had such a small user base. Fortunately I think some people stepped up to look after it but that could have made preserving old software significantly harder.
If image formats get abandoned, browsers are going to face hard decisions as to whether to drop support. There has to be some push-back to over-proliferation of formats or we could be in a worse position than now, where there are only two or three viable browser alternatives that can keep up with the churn of web technologies.
I mean, the comic is even in the OP. The whole point is that AVIF is already out there, like it or not. I'm not happy about Google setting the standards but that has to be supported. Does JPEGXL cross the line where it's really worth adding in addition to AVIF? It's easy to yes when you're not the one supporting it.
Yeah, tineye doesn't find any matches for it but does for all the others.
The backlight could be sunlight, but the it wouldn't be deep-sea. It could be another submersible with a light, but I don't know why two would dive together. The bokeh looks pretty weird also. I think it's AI.
Adding more decoders means more overheads in code size, projects dependencies, maintanance, developer bandwidth and higher potential for security vulnerabilities.
If it's a cube, I'd have questions before they got to 8m.
If it's 1m², but 500m tall, I'd have ... different questions.
Will you be able to handle all these panels as it becomes economically reasonable for people to replace them?
To be clear, the record label is Death Row Records. He was initially charged with attempted murder but that was dropped and he wasn't ever facing the death penalty. He was behind bars for 33 years for running a "nationwide drug trafficking operation that brought in nearly $2 million daily." Snoop now owns Death Row Records.
Yeah, there also seems to be a bit of an issue with formatting embedded inside spoilers. In your comment there are inline images in a spoiler block. They load on the web, but not in Connect. I wonder how other apps deal with that. Maybe another round of testing is in order soon!
I think it'd be nice to have the hidden block if the text is just one line, but if there are images or many lines then just make it expandable and load images when opened. I have no idea how much work that is to implement though.
