Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@freddy ... and that happens to be the one Firefox uses...
@bagder@mastodon.social Well, it seems that your point is "Firefox consists of bad code", whereas I believe that the conclusion from the post should be "The library is bad code, which is why we are not using it in production. We'd be happy to look at their rust implementation, when it's possible"
(footnote: "bad code" being an abbreviation of "100k multi-threaded C++")
@freddy you're reading too much into my words. I'm just amazed by how large the existing JPEG XL decoder is.
And I don't think I am alone.
@bagder@mastodon.social Oh, OK. Sorry for misreading then. I'll back off. 🙂
(And yes, the existing library is... 🤯)
@bagder@mastodon.social @freddy
and "uses" in this case means "has it available behind a feature flag in their nightly builds, and does not ship it to normal users because of this very issue"
