just wang a [sic] in there so people know its not your balls-up

jpegxl actually has pretty good support - affinity, photoshop, gimp, krita, etc. all support it fine

it's only chrome/electron that's holding it back (even firefox supported it until chrome dropped support). i don't think it's lazyness

i have no love for gif (hence i use apng), but all the other alternatives are either videos so show controls by default, not widely supported, or webp. i realise webp is objectively the better format for most things, but i still argue it's existence is a net negative effect

webp may be open (although actually i'd argue it isn't, the licences for the decoder and the format itself are both very woolly), but as it's actively contributing to enshittification by holding back truly open formats i'd say that doesn't really matter

i don't think that's necessarily falling for it, it's appreciating it for what it is. i personally don't see the nothing as equivalent to oneplus[^1], but if it was the modern equivalent to the op1 or op3 i think it'd be worth getting. i have no brand loyalty to 1+ (i doubt i'll ever buy another 1+ phone) but damn if the op1 wasn't the best value for money phone i ever bought.

[^1]: the only similarity is the "close-to-stock" rom as far as i can see, and oneplus didn't even do that until all the issues with cyanogen

i think they are the original source, after a bit of a skim of 00s russian magazines

that page says "for the magazine 'populjarnaja mechanika'", and credits dmitri choybolsan (Дмитрий Чойболсан). it's not on the linked portfolio page, but it kind of matches his style(-ish) and it was used for the cover of 2008/№ 11:

now i can't find anywhere to read it to see cover credits, but i'm inclined to believe it

(are you just trying to see what you can get away with credit-wise, by the way?)

ah don't worry i'm not the dev, i just like the app

nice avatar, by the way

i don't think so, i think it's just the sunset behind. but i'm not sure

thank you!

i thought it was a tomorrow spec fic, but i must have missed that one when i was looking through them all

did you click the thing saying that you understand analogies?

I mean, isn't cinnamon just a better version of gnome 2?

oh yeah that's fair. it's only gnome 3 that's awful

I generally understand it as the frontends for the applications, no

it's just that i imagine you know more than me about linux, having used it for longer, but i didn't want to assume that and have you floundering and confused

Oh, I’m only on cinnamon atm because I was having issues with my mounted SSDs not working in steam and valve wouldn’t help unless I was on ubuntu. So here I am.

if you have to use ubuntu but want kde, kubuntu is very good (in my personal opinion, don't use neon).

Are there distros that come without this shit by default?

not to my knowledge, although it's a one-line fix (export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1)

If I can get a damn virtual machine to install properly I’m going distro hunting. ElementaryOS has been my favorite so far.

good luck. i tried that and couldn't find anything i liked..

they're actually png's, but either should work - it's just markdown, so use ![alt text](image url). i use them as links as well, so they're [![alt text](image url)](link url), which is a bit verbose but it works

they're hosted off-site though, which may be why they work
