I'm not in the US, but friends there tell me that Home Depot routinely delivers from the local store within a few hours. (Here, unfortunately, their web site is useless crap.)

I agree with you; those are all reasons I only use my phone for on-the-go messaging or navigation. I'm against the idea that you should have to have a secure (against the owner) connected phone on your person at all times in order to s

You don't. A laptop might still be a general-purpose computer under the owner's control, and we discourage those.

That's probably not the case. `cjxl` preserves metadata, but early on, some popular metadata extractors (exiftool, exiv2) silently ignored it.

I am sure that none of the `.gif` files on my computer have been silently replaced. And there absolutely are cases where a lossless GIF is smaller than a lossy video format.

Agreed. Browsers should support general-purpose image formats. I'm not interested in another “web codec” that's not good for anything but passive delivery.

jj itself doesn't have a native ‘push’. `jj git push` and `jj piper upload`¹ operate on external systems that don't necessarily support undoing arbitrary operations. Pure speculation, but if I were ESRC I'd make my backend ha
