Venia Silente

Where’s the emotion of the hunt in that!!!

Trump has already shown that greenness of cards means nothing to him, so it’s not like these people would be losing any immigration safe ground by not suing.

That’s still not patent free. Heck it’s right there: “irrevocable (unless we say so)”.

It does, yes, but from what I gather it’s rather difficult to actually encode such an animated image compared to, say, a GIF. Display should work just fine.

A file format can not, by itself, be “incompatible” with a website. What matters is the browser, and Firefox at least is adding support (slowly), and they are the ones who matter ATM.

Open is not the same as patent-free, the two things can coexist (and they do in the case of webp).

It’s open to write the code, but in order to be authorized to use it you have to get a permit from Google. You can’t eg.: fork from Firefox and use their permit (as you implicitly could with patent-free). Plus, Google can rescind their patent grant at any point, which they are bound to do once they secure ownership of the internet.

That’s good to know! If I ever get to make an instance of anything in the Fediverse and I set it to save images (lol, fat chace), I’m setting it to either JPEG-XL or XPM.

AV1 is for video though? JPEG-XL is patent-free, better performant than most or all alternatives, and made for images.

These are factors webp was designed for.

I thought it was designed so that Google could continue to de-facto own the web.

JPEG-XL exists, is factually better, and is not patent encumbered.

Same place as Facebook: already in the pockets.

“Heil Springer” time I guess? Germany never stops disappointing…

Maybe instead of removing the RCE, we can lock down the sandbox better and reduce the amount of information advertisers can collect.

By all means but then someone do it, because it’s 2025 and even Firefox sends all this information that is absolutely not needed to show a webpage. It’s at least 25 years late by this point.

If you remove code execution in the browser, then many websites will need to ship desktop apps instead.

Which in quite more than just some cases would be good, precisely because some things should be native programs instead of requiring that the web browser basically provides all the tasks of the OS.

Just because there are other ways to serve you ads does not at all mean we should not be able to not only stop at least one, but also the one which is most dangerous since it literally allows for RCE on all clients. by design.

JavaScript is needed to actually build anything useful.

Underage user detected!

Yes.

It’s impressive that for a technology that’s supposed to be better than Mastodon (bloated) or Reddit (ass-corporate), Lemmy still relies on the same basic evils.

the website wouldn’t need to embed any JS code.

That’s the point.

I’m a simple person, I see DokuWiki and I install it some plugins. Easy to self-host on a cheap VPS (no database required!) or on your own machine (if you have access to eg.:Docker). But that’s more for a general wiki kind of thing, useful but not specialized like having tools aimed for worldbuilding.

Haven’t checked any of the offerings here but I’m told by a couple fellows that they’ve had decent story with Hammer. Would probably start looking there.

Could have been quite cool advertising. “FOSS helps solve murders; Microsoft / Google / Facebook helps commit them.”
