I honestly miss that in modern handheld devices. A lot of radio stations aren’t even available as Internet radio, and if they are, there’s often no common search database (except iHeartRadio, except fuck iHeartRadio) so you have to manually input the stream URL, and a lot of them make it a pain in the ass to even find the stream URL on their site.
In short: fuck Internet radio. FM’s where it’s at.
I said a near-monopoly. Also, even if it’s foss, by creating the format, they established the baseline parameters of that format.
That gives them a significant degree of control.
Edit: I also hate it because so many of the programs I use don’t support it, so I constantly have to copy > paste into image editor program > Save as PNG.
Though admittedly this is mostly an adoption thing. Still, it’s a major problem.
Because it’s yet another example of Google’s near-monopoly over the Web’s architecture. It’s not healthy for good web development. It’s like the 90s and Microsoft all over again.
I mean, fuck, we’re already getting websites that’ve been “optimized” for Chromium-based browsers—in other words, semi-broken for non-Chromium browsers.
Honestly? I agree with you that the benefits seem kind of marginal. But I still think it’s a fascinating thing. :)
Edit:
On doing some reading about it and trying it out for myself, the file size reductions are hardly marginal. It’s actually quite impressive. Still, it seems for most people, including myself, that jpeg for lossy & png for lossless is more than adequate, especially with how cheap storage is nowadays.
(And, frankly, I appreciate seeing at a glance if an image is lossy or lossless, but I imagine that’s a priority most people don’t have. Lol.)
I will check that link out. Thank you. :)
Well of course. Those bastards want everyone to use their stupid WebP format.
On a related note, how does JPEGXL compare to PNG? Does it support layers?
I’m getting the sense that you found copper…
versus globally
So is this a matter of personal profiles? Userspace would be anything within a particular user’s space, if you will?
Never said they didn’t. I’m just sayin’.......I’ve never heard of it. shrug
Not OP, but speaking as a Linux newb, what is a “userspace” exactly?
Never heard of it.
Lmao, that tldr is fucking GLORIOUS.
I knew what DirectX was; I just thought X11 was an abbreviation for DirectX. Lol.
Ah, so it’s like DirectX11/12? That makes sense! How come it’s never (presumably?) used on Windows?
Also…
Many issues due to being legacy
Many issues due to being Modern
Lol.
Edit: Okay, looking it up, it’s apparent that X11 is not the same thing as DirectX11. Lol.
This isn’t IRL, though.
As a Linux newb…
You’re talking about this, right?
That sounds promising. Know any good sites that can help me get started, or at least learn more?
Okay, so I installed it through F-Droid and tried to find this station
but it couldn’t find it even when I included the callsign.
Am I doing something wrong?
