    If you look at the issue tracker, the creator of Webp killed it because of untrue claims there was no interest or advantages over existing formats. Concerns about the implementatio…

    Gracefully handling hardware faults is a software problem. The Air France Flight 447 crash was the result of bad software and bad hardware.

    I'm very surprised that you find this surprising. Do you mostly stay at Airbnb? I expect this at any traditional hotel in the US.

    That project is a pipe dream. They don't have what it takes to continue X11 alive once X.Org pulls the plug.

    Why go through the trouble of exploring such a bug, when you have the ability to just replace the binary with something with a backdoor?

    It would be easier to ask google than post here. It's the first google result for "blocking website scaling" Changing your user agent won't help. No half decent web developer has c…

    Most Kobo books have DRM. There are a few publishers (TOR) and authors that are DRM free, but most of books I've wanted have it. This is why I have a Boox Android eInk tablet, alth…

    Google blocking jpegxl from Chrome is tragic. AVIF is only better when quality is less important than saving bandwidth. AVIF is also significantly less capable.

    It's as complex as it needs to be to losslessly convert old binary office files. A better format would have made us geeks a lot happier, but the average user just wants things to w…

    MIT & BSD don't include a patent grant, that's a good reason to go with the Apache license.

    I've seen people use IPC to workaround the GPL, but I've also seen the FSF interpretations claiming that is still a derived work. I don't know if this has ever been tested in court…
