It's been 3 years, I might have people mixed up, but that was the justification at the time.

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 implementation only came up after years of pushback forced google ton reconsider.

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.

It would be easier to ask google than post here. It's the first google result for "blocking website scaling"

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, although I only use it with burner accounts. They run Ancient versions of Android.

Launching under AGPL was the kiss of death. They eventually went MIT, but the developers it steered away, probably never gave it a second chance

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.

What's the legitimate use case for a 1U rack with 32 cell modems (Assuming 1 modem for every antenna in the photos)?

Wasm is one of the best solutions for running untrusted code. Alternative are more complicated or have limited language choices.

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 work the way they always have.
