I have a nagging doubt; jpeg-xl has a very extensive feature set (text overlays, etc). meanwhile, tech/media consortia want a basic spec for AV1 + OPUS on chip and push that to all media capable devices. we can expect av1, avif and opus to be ubiquitous in a few years. So i think they will prioritise AVIF.

Awesome pfp. is that the moment his wife defied him and went out in public fully clothed?

Oh, that stuff about “sharing is theft”? thats an exercise in doublespeak. my attempt to parody the institutions. …“it is sharing which robs society”… Mwuahaha!

No really. I mean it. sharing is actually theft. dispersing resources evenly is wasteful. it’s inefficient. and sharing only with your ingroup creates cliques and class divides. ultimately it is sharing in all its forms which robs society of progress and long term prosperity. on the other hand, self interest drives innovation while trade leads to prosperity. self interest is the true driver of human progress.

buy only paper books from the publisher. and only new books. not used. as the good book says; “Neither a borrower, nor a lender be.”
