JPEG-XL support (libjxl) went into FFmpeg: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=FFmpeg-JPEG-XL-Lands
JPEG-XL is a new general-purpose JPEG image standard that will hopefully fare better than JPEG-2000 has: https://jpeg.org/jpegxl/

“She was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing,
I miss her more than ever words could say.

Tor the BSD dwarf and dungeon master sternly considers Terry’s roll for stealth: a middling 11, even with Terry’s custom d20. The moment is tense. Will Terry the waterfowl rogue sneak past the evil hex dice standing guard within the Monster Lair?
Every major release of Firefox adds or changes something that makes it at least a little bit worse.
Most recently, if you have a dark theme, the browser now sets the color scheme preference on websites to dark, with no prompt and no clear UI option to disable it.
The fix is to set layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override to 2 in about:config, rather than its default value of 3. What, you didn’t guess that?
No wonder Chromium is taking over the world.
Please consider donating to @SDF if you’re using this instance, to encourage them to keep it going. It’s one of my favourite places on the internet, and a welcome refuge from Twitter that somehow appears to miss all of the analogous Fediverse drama.
