What Photo app are you referring to? On Debian Trixie, I just get the screenshot app, Spectacle. It shows the screenshot it just took, tells me where it’s been saved, lets me do stuff with it, and lets me take another one. It could do with

My reading is they were simply trying to comply with regulations. It wasn't about what ideas they believed the religious texts were trying to convey, but whether their content met a certain definition set by law. The law could be poorl

It’s heavily inspired by both TeX and Emacs, hence why it’s named after both of those. As if the author had added the best aspects of the two and then some.

I guess they could just support custom colours, but that seems like a needless complication—much like skin tones themselves.

Why should the Simpsons hold any relevance to emoji?

by F3nd0 8mo ago
Why should skin colour be specified at all? Why not leave it as an implementation detail? Yellow is the popular default choice, but it could very well be green, blue, pink, or anything really.

It seems like Taler has been coming along great and the biggest things it’s missing are more interest and adoption. There has been some first ‘real-world’ use recently, but it’s still far from becoming widespread, which would be a dream com

They don’t seem to provide a detailed comparison showing how each compression scheme fared at every task, but they do list (some of) their criteria and say they found Brotli the best of the bunch. I can’t tell if that’s a sensible conclusio

Going by one of Brotli’s authors’ comment [1] on another post, it probably wouldn’t. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46035817

It seems to me this point of discussion always tends to get way too much focus. Should it really raise concern? Of all the people who interact with image formats in some way, how many do even know what an image format is? How many even noti

Because JPEG XL is the first format to actually bring significant improvements across the board. In some aspects AVIF comes close, in others it falls far behind, and in some it can’t even compete. There’s just nothing else like JPEG XL and

That’s an interesting speculation, but I’m inclined to believe their official reasoning. (That being they just didn’t really care about the format and/or went with whatever Chrome said at first. A year or so later they changed their mi

I’m not 100% sure on this in the case of AGPL, but I think you don’t need to relicense your project if you include AGPL code; you only need to make sure your project respects all the freedoms the AGPL requires it to (in a suitable way). So

Not a single dedicated, representative furry emoji that I'm aware of (unless we count 1F43E – paw prints), but there are a couple emoji which happen to be furry. In addition to the plethora of animal emoji (which aren't furry, but

Every language has strengths and weaknesses. Perfect is the enemy of good. If your definition of 'good' is 'relatively easy and technically international', Esperanto is very suitable. (Not to mention way better than the

If I’m not mistaken, they only select a couple of features to work on every year—the ones they already agree on to begin with—and the high interoperability shown in the link only concerns those few select features. For example, JPEG XL has

Yes, though hopefully not for long; unfortunately not all codecs are given equal treatment... If having native support in a web browser is important, though, then yes, WebP is a better choice (as is JPEG).
