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?
Ok i see what i did. Basically im saying that britain today is yugoslavia 2.0
Hmmm. Idk. on my screen it looks like some comments have vanished and i can’t remember what was there. maybe an overzealous mod?
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!
Which comment are you referring to?
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.

Me nodding in somber agreement. And yet, at the same time, also reaching for the trap-door lever. you tried and that’s what matters.
yeah. Turns out the economy is fake. who knew?
sharing is theft™

But what can you actually DO?
surely it’s a boast… a gross valuation of absolutely everything that can be remotely linked to them. they dont personally control or consume billions.
easy to test. men can say “tampons glitter lotion” several times a day. women say “garage exhaust cable”.
its a threat. they hold the biggest players to ransom by demanding exclusive contracts. otherwise business goes to china, russia and qatar
sweden and somalia
