  Chromium 143 (the latest available in Void Linux, a rolling-release distro) still can't. The chrome://flags/#enable-jxl-image-format is not even found in the build :(

  > Hopefully my photo processor will accept JPEG XL in the near future! Aren't print shops, machining shops, other small manufacturers etc. ones that always lag behind with emerging technologies?
  • p_ing 9mo ago
    Yes, because those systems cost gobs of money. You don't replace them just for the hot new thing.
    • Dylan16807 9mo ago
      Replace? Why bring that up? The company that owns whatever system can and should be able to convert formats.
      • p_ing 9mo ago
        They request formats that their equipment handles. They're not in the business of converting a user's file type from one to another. That would be inconsistent from what the user sent. Here's who I order from, you can see the particulars of what they request. https://support.bayphoto.com/hc/en-us/articles/40266583579795-How-Should-I-Prepare-My-Files-File-Size-File-Preparation-Guidelines https://support.bayphoto.com/hc/en-us/articles/4026658357979...

Their job is getting an image file into reality, not to be the absent owner of a big machine. > That would be inconsistent from what the user sent. If the machine accepts some type of normal image file, then they can losslessly convert other file formats to that type. There is nothing inconsistent about that.

            You're free to make such assumptions.
            • Dylan16807 9mo ago
              What are you calling an assumption? My first statement is an opinion/judgement, not an assumption. I'm confident my second statement is true. Note that any argument that says niche formats are a problem because color space might be ambiguous also applies to the formats they do accept.

                Who should accept responsibility when a conversion is not as expected? There are very few ‘lossless” conversions possible if you consider the loss of a data or metadata could affect the result. So if printer did accept a file that needed to be converted, and then during printing and converting they found conversion could lead to unexpected results should they cancel the print run? There is just too much to go wrong in printing already without these extra problems. The print industry has a long and storied history, and for whatever set of reasons, printers only accept very specific profiles of specific formats.

                  > Who should accept responsibility when a conversion is not as expected? Who does it already? The system already takes files that could have unexpected results. It's likely that if they took some other reasonable file types while always pre-converting they could actually reduce the error rate.

    Designers might also be hesitant to use an untested file format for print, too. If there’s a large amount of paper that’s been purchased for a job, I definitely wouldn’t want to be the one who’s responsible for using JPEG XL and – for whatever reason – something going wrong. Pixels are cheaper than paper or other physical media :)

  Yup, Gnome Web loads it just fine! Man, it really is a great browser. I try to switch to it every 6 months, but then I remember that it doesn't support extensions at all. I could give up everything, but not 1Password. Nothing is worth copy/pasting credentials and losing passkeys entirely.
  • encrypted_bird 9mo ago
    Have you tried KeePassXL with SyncThing? I've heard good things about that setup.
    • Dylan16807 9mo ago
      For what purpose? While it's a perfectly good password manager, when used with Gnome Web it also means copy/pasting passwords and losing passkeys. Doesn't it?
      • encrypted_bird 9mo ago
        When I commented that, I did not realize Gnome Web was a web browser (I'd never heard of it frankly), let alone a non-Firefox-based browser. Lol.
