Use more WebP, I guess.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no idea why that is. 🤔

Searching the web a bit brings up lots of threads where people hate WebP. The problem being that browsers support WebP but other programs tend to be problematic … ? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think WebP being new just hasn’t seen widespread adoption everywhere (yet) 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, but isn’t it from 2010? No widespread adoption after 15 years? Is there that much inertia? 🤔 On my box, everything just works – browser, GIMP, ImageMagick, imlib2, … 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @zvava@twtxt.net I think people get sick of everything changing all the time and so don’t bother adopting things to change when things are already good enough 🤷

Webp, though it has been around for a long while, wasn’t fully supported on all browsers until recently. The other formats have been in use for such a long time, proving to work just fine, that the advantages Webp provides haven’t been seemingly enough to merit a switch.

Google is also the one behind Webp, and, well, people don’t trust, nor like, them much.

@bender@twtxt.net that’s kind of what I was getting it initially yeah

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Irony ensues, libwebp also had a CVE around this year or the last year, to boot
