What *is* the point of webp? I find it vastly irritating.
03:23
<&McMartin>
It's a Google thing, first off, not an organic standard like PNG or an industry one like JPG
03:23
<&McMartin>
It's designed to get better compression than either while being able to act like both.

<&McMartin>
The one that drives me nuts is HEIC, which is an apple thing that isn't quite RAW but it's what iPhoto keeps trying to export or share
04:26
<&Reiver>
... do we need better compression than PNG or JPG on the modern internet, really

What does "organic" mean in this context?
08:23
<&McMartin>
PNG was basically created by Some Dude Posting A Thread On Usenet.

Hm. webp support is allegedly getting added in Mint 21.

I'm not sure I want to upgrade this early after release.
08:39
< abudhabi_>
IME, early adopter Mint versions have shitty backwards compat.

McMartin: to be fair, JPEG XL is largely based on FLIF, which was first posted by some dude on a forum

even for an amateur project, it's kind of a total mess

At scale, small savings in file size result in mind-boggling amounts of bandwidth (and cpu time and power) saved
14:37
<&ToxicFrog>
Allegedly, WebP offers smaller sizes than JPEG in lossy mode for all but the lowest quality settings, and smaller sizes than PNG in lossless mode
14:37
<&ToxicFrog>
It's also based on the WebM video standard, so for anything implementing WebM the incremental cost of adding WebP support is small
