Funny you chose to say jpeg, because jpegxl is just on it's way to getting big. If you're dealing with a lot of images the savings are probably big enough to warrant an update. There really is nothing that can be considered comple

What I ment so say was some "externally given purpose" that makes claims about being objective. I consider my values to be more of a general goal than a purpose in itself and make no claims about them being objectively good.

Linux is very much understandable, but Firefox still has a considerable user base, between 3 and 5 pct depending on who's counting; Double that if you only target desktop. Considering the support burden of Firefox should be minimal, I

As somebody that never felt they had some higher purpose I can't say that I feel any need for it. I can understand you feel like you lack something when lose a higher purpose you've had all your life, but that (for lack of better

Don't all browsers handle incognito/private browsing in this way? From my pov they cloud not really do it any other way as long as pulling out tabs into their own or other windows is allowed.

As repairable? Easy, get a fairphone ( https://shop.fairphone.com/en/ ). Upgradable? Not so much, but that would be much harder for smartphones when basic things like in-screen fingerprint or front camera get adopted.

I don't think this is realistically achievable when you have all kinds of distortion and echoes. You'd also need a way to identify the exact position on the song and correct that if it was wrong because it was in the refrain.
