I saw that on one of my photos and thought it was a lens artifact!

Yes, but on Linux I get to choose not to use Gnome

Pivot. If you’re serious about keeping it on the track or somewhere isolated, great, but let’s not pretend that’s what anybody is upset about.

You still have to get your car to and from the track and presumably you don’t live right next to your local track.

I absolutely enjoy loud and fast and powerful cars,

Cool! You won’t mind if I go spin up a diesel generator upwind of your house then, right?

I just really enjoy diesel generators and your opinion on my noise and air pollution shouldn’t weigh heavily on the scale of what I’m allowed to do. It’s only fair!

I’m sorry bro but if I have to listen to your fucking ICE going up and down my otherwise quiet street at all hours of the day then I am allowed to call you small dicked. If you are offended by this, I will assume it true.

Go to a fucking race track and leave the rest of us out of your dumb hobby.

First of all, thanks for pretending you know me. That’s cool.

Second, I’ve been buying on bandcamp up until Epic bought it. I have principles and one of those is that I don’t support Epic.

Maybe I’ll start buying music again

Yes. This was literally the concern I raised back when MS introduced this automatic zero-click bullshit and I was told I was paranoid; Microsoft would never let that happen! Now we’re here.

Dell does the same thing with some of their office keyboards. If you plug it in, you get zero-click PUP and it’s not trivial to delete.

That’s not what this law is about, but yes actually they do!

I’m not even in the UK and my domains get hit by UK authorities that claim to be scanning for vulnerabilities

lmao

Thankfully they patented it, hopefully deterring anyone else from also doing it

Discord has been showing ads, intrusively, for years

Oh that’s good to know. I figured it might behave like that but I don’t see any mention in the docs about it. Thank you!

Just keep using jpeg for old files.

And bloat up my codebase with support for a new file extension every 2-5 years? I’ll just keep using jpg, then, like the rest of the sane internet, and the format will never die. JXL offered an actual upgrade path, webp and avif doesn’t.

Mozilla are also dumb, yes, but they aren’t the one in control of 90% of the browser marketshare.

I’m a photographer; AVIF and WebP do not serve my needs, JPEG-XL does.

I run my own website down to the hardware in my living room; I will not store 5 variations of any 1 picture just so I can serve the best available to clients when JPEG works everywhere and JPEG-XL offers me a lossless transition from JPG to JXL.

Chromium is literally the only reason JPEG-XL isn’t being adopted right now, and it’s so obvious that Google is pulling those strings.

JPEG-XL Ride or Die.

It would be nice if DDG would start showing me the results I searched for, man

Feel like I’ve been going insane the past month, have to go Google things because DDG just seems to have no clue about simple queries.
