Hilariously, WebP often isn’t better than JPEG for compression efficiency

Some people graduate in 3 years, some in 4, some in 5+. It really is different for everyone. Unless it is exceedingly financially difficult to afford these two additional classes, you’ll probably be okay.

I don’t write as frequently as I used to, but in case you’re interested in multimedia & data compression:

Zig could use your help I think. Give it a look

JPEG XL support in Waterfox is nice.

You need VideoToolbox for this particular tool because it calls the VideoToolbox library from within FFmpeg in order to encode the video.

“Why do I need x264 to encode H.264 in FFmpeg?” is essentially what you’re asking. FFmpeg needs VideoToolbox support to work with my tool.

If you’re asking why I chose to use VideoToolbox in the first place, it was because I want this to be a macOS-specific tool with very fast encoding speeds at decent fidelity per bit. Hardware accelerated video encoding is one way to make this happen.

vt-enc calls FFmpeg which calls the VideoToolbox encoding framework. Without VT, ffmpeg commands will fail

VideoToolbox is the encoder that FFmpeg links to.

Filesystem compression is dope.

I’m pretty much all BTRFS at this point

Minecraft is arguably & measurably more performant on Linux, full stop. Anything using OpenGL performs better on Linux, check any Minecraft benchmark online.

Also, a lot of towns/cities remove those romantic locks regularly anyway.

One Punch Man

It is a modern successor to formats like WebP & JPEG. WebP was barely competitive with JPEG

As an Android user, I’m considering switching to iPhone due to how much worse the Android experience is becoming without Google Play Services. I’m using a custom ROM with microG, which potentially means no RCS since it is only available through Google Messages which doesn’t work with microG.

As much as it would suck jumping ship, at the very least, Apple is still a consumer hardware company first & foremost while Google will always be an ads company. Android exists to that end & that end alone.

I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish

I’m partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I’ve found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess

WebP images are not bad. Not great, but not bad. The lossless mode is quite good. It is on the software you use to support WebP.

I’m happy with Wayland
