"Collabora clearly has a conflict of interest, as their Collabora Office products both benefit from, and compete with LibreOffice proper." But that was the point of TDF: being an u…

"...being removed from the TDF board" Not from the board, (implies board of directors), but from TDF membership (board of trustees). This essentially means you have no voting power…

Well, that's almost how it work but of course without the waiting bits. The change would be added to LOExt namespace and would be written to the document and read on load. Then the…

JXL has Guetzli lossless JPEG compressor integrated into the standard so it produces reversible and completely standard compliant JXL images that are 15-20% smaller size. Reversibl…

DSLR market has pretty much stopped (rarely any new DSLR camera is released) as everyone shifted to mirrorless cameras. Camera manufacturers mostly added HEIF (Canon, Sony, Fuji) a…

In what way does Google control WebP? They have frozen the format and nothing will be added to it. WebP2 was abandoned. Google is also involved with JPEG XL - actually some develop…

No. VP8 and VP9 bitstreams are frozen and stayed frozen when they decided to freeze it (they made that sure with automatic tests in libvpx that calculated the bitstream checksum) o…

Apple probably held off adoption so that HEVC patent license situation improves a bit (at least most companies with patents join in some pool or start to offer licenses). If AV1 wo…
