FFmpeg unterstützt jetzt animierte JPEG-XL Bilder
Bei der Unterstützung des JXL-Formats gibt es, insbesondere bei den Webbrowsern, kein klares Bild. Durch Apples Ja zum Bildformat für Safari und die erweiterte Unterstützung durch FFmpeg, ändert sich die Situation eventuell.

I was playing with #jxl today, and I found this settings gave me the best results at a reasonably fast speed:
cjxl -e 8 SOURCE JXLfile.jxl
Waiting for Safari 17 to test the PostCSS plugin to use JXL in the CSS background
#jpegxl #jxl #postcss #css #ImagePerf #productperf #webperf
(Possibly relevant the fact that new version of Safari and their toolkit web view components are going to support #HEIC together with #JXL.)
And you know what? I'll take it. As self-serving as the choice may be, if it helps the new open standard gain traction, I'll take it, especially considering how often things go the other way instead. Surely better than Google's braindead choice to pull the implementation they had already added to #Blink.

I don't believe #Apple's choice to adopt #JpegXL is a selfless embracement of open standards. Rather, I suspect they ran internal tests and found out quickly that #jxl allowed them for sufficiently more compact files (better for storage and transmission) and faster deciding for their own purposes to justify its adoption. I wouldn't be surprised if they start phasing out #HEIC in favor of JXL as their photo format as a next step.

I'm generally not a big fan of #Apple (understatement of the century), but I've read about the next version of #Safari officially supporting #JpegXL and I'm really glad that this is happening. I'm looking forward to the associated changes to #WebKit making it into the engine as it is used by other #FLOSS browsers too —and hopefully this will finally push @Mozilla into enabling #jxl in mainline #Firefox OOTB.

I just realized that #Google killing #JpegXL has a direct negative impact on the #Fediverse, by imposing higher bandwidth and storage requirements for anyone hosting media. Platforms like #PixelFed in particular would greatly benefit from being able to transcode everything to #jxl for storage (with no additional loss of quality thanks to the possibility to transcode directly from #jpeg in most cases), reducing storage and bandwidth by 10% or more, easily.

While I agree with the @fsf warning about the emblematic value of the decision by #Google to pull support for #JpegXL from #Chrome, their article <https://u.fsf.org/3z8> is as empty as could be, _especially_ considering that #GNU #IceCat doesn't support JPEG XL either (being based on a #Firefox branch that doesn't build #JXL support in.) You want to show that #FLOSS can do without? Do it by actually supporting what you complain Google is failing to.

This has been one of the most amazing and informative threads I've ever participated in.

@werefox honestly Google seems to be fighting quite hard against #JXL, trying to promote WebP and AVIF instead. For example, they recently removed JXL support from chromium, for no reason and despite even their own engineers protesting. Which is yet more reason to favour JXL.
@werefox yeah legit and maybe I should have elaborated too. but basically for the readers at home, #JXL is just existing formats but better, and that includes #WebP. It's also extremely future proof, so if it gets widely adopted we can probably expect it to still be in use in >10 years time. AND it's royalty free and completely open source!

If their web browser also adopts a superior image format in its native mode, it will make many to consider switching to Windows 11 … #jpegxl #jxl https://www.theverge.com/23589994/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-bing-chatgpt-google-search-ai
