Reminds me of a scene from Don’t Look Up
It is that scene, yeah
We really did have everything, didn’t we?
this movie is sooo frustratingly good. I love it.
The movie is “Don’t Look Up” for those who aren’t aware. It’s excellent. Watch it.
Just don’t get near the brontorock.
Ask anyone who has lived through war: This is fine because it’s the closest you’ll get to peaceful activities.
You don’t get to pick and choose your disasters and turn them off at will.
Much more realistic than the original meme. The failures of society overall to be cohesive and care for everyone in society isn’t within the control of the powerless. What the powerless can do is control their own simple joys, that’s all.
So treating yourself kindly in the face of evil you cannot control nor stop is fine.
Exactly so!
While I’ll definitely do what I can to try and influence the trajectory we’re on I’m just one person with very little power, and I’m not exactly optimistic about how things are going and figure that at some point something like this meme will be the best I can do
This is fi- notices .webp, flips table
Why do so many folks dislike webp? I really have no strong feelings towards it one way or the other
JPEG-XL is better, for one, if we are talking still images, and for two, webp is just one more instance of Google forcing a preference for their own technology over others.
They refuse to implement JPEG-XL support similar to how they stripped Miracast out of Pixel devices so you can only cast to Chromecast devices unless you root your phone and put on LineageOS, which has brought back Miracast.
Things like webp are Google trying to do an end-run around web standards with the intent of allowing Google, the company, to be the final arbiter of web standards instead of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
People who hate webp are most likely people who hate Google’s quest to dominate the web and be the arbiter of standards.
JPEG-XL is better

In September 2023, two critical vulnerabilities[108] relating to WebP images were discovered by Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) and the Citizen Lab, potentially affecting Google Chrome, Chromium-based browsers and the Google’s libwebp project, among any application implementing libwebp. Among these vulnerabilities, CVE-2023-4863 was an actively exploited vulnerability with a high risk rating of CVSS 8.8. This could lead to an out of bounds/overflow condition in applications using the affected libwebp library, upon exploitation of a maliciously crafted .webp lossless file. This could result in a denial of service (DoS), or worse, enabling malicious remote code execution (RCE). The extensive use of libwebp packages across hundreds of applications, including all categories from web browsers to mobile apps, posed a major patching challenge to mitigate the vulnerability due to the demanding testing requirements before release, highlighting the implications of this vulnerability on a wide scale.
So what, we’re not supposed to use any library that’s ever had a vulnerability? You better go uninstall literally everything on your computer then
