Completely hypothetical scenario: what if the technical reaction was so hostile they invested in it themselves to fix the issues and make it sustainable?
In light of the recent security incident, I'd see that completely hypothetical situation as more admirable.
- lxgr 3y agoHm, are you suggesting they're currently in the process of reimplementing it in a safer and/or more maintainable way as part of Chrome? In that case, that would just be extremely bad messaging (which I also wouldn't put past Google). Why agitate half of the people on here and in other tech-affine parts of the Internet when they could have just publicly stated that they're working on it and to please have some patience? Public support by Google, even if it's just in the form of a vague "intent to implement", would be so important for a nascent JPEG successor.
- refulgentis 3y agoSee comment on peer (TL;DR: I agree, and that's the substance of the post we're commenting on)
- LeoNatan25 3y agoYour posts here seem of the “just asking questions” variety—no substance other than being counterculture. Do you have any proof or resemblance of any logical reason to think this?
- refulgentis 3y agoIt's a gentle joke, it happened, that's TFA. (ex. see the other threads re: it started from the JPEG XL repo). I use asking questions as a way to keep contentious discussions on track without being boorish. And you're right, it can easily be smarmy instead of Socratic without tone, a la the classic internet sarcasm problem. Gentle note: I only asked one question, and only in the post you replied to.
