Why isn't it widely adopted yet? It's much better than AVIF since it's actually designed for still images, and Apple supports it natively on Safari and Photos. What's Google's endgame by killing work on support for it in Chrome?

Many websites already use webp or avif.

Jpeg-xl is coming to chrome, somehow. Guess they figured webp was a lost cause.

>>31775
What's actually wrong with webp?

>>31776
In some places it might not be supported. Other than that, nothing.

>>31783
It just doesn't perform well compared to the formats it sought to replace, and has had several zero-day vulnerabilities, while being pushed by several companies that were overly enthusiastic about (tumblr, anything google, reddit, etc…) which made it seem very top down.

At least irt Gemini 3 , and it's impact on Google stocks in a bearish environment, is that Google is lowkey expected to win the AI race and survive the bubble.

AI has been good enough for all tasks it’s been assigned. As in all. For a year. Further improvements in LLMs don’t matter. A breakthrough in symbolic models are needed, everything is just coding or porn. Gemini has an Reddit accent when it talks.

I have been continuously paranoid since years about corporations and the government. I am an active militant and I like very much to keep my head low although sometimes I can't escape getting in the fray and involved with the media or the police. So my big threat vectors are the police, the government and to a lesser extent the media and the little fascist groups of my western European country.

Now I got windows out the way, I'm running arch and I wipe my laptop and desktop computers once or twice a year. I have Tails on a USB drive for critical operations, I have a riseup account but I never use it because I feel it could be a honeypot so I prefer Proton which is less political.

I used lineageOS build on my last phone but now I have a pixel with Graphene, Obviously I never post on leftypol without using a VPN or TOR.

Can I get better than that? I thought about using a 8 numbers pin on my phone on which I set up a reformat code if I'm forced to enter something but it fucking sucks to type so much each time I unlock it, I feel I'm not high profile enough to justify the hassle. And no I am never giving my digital print to any device.

>The idea is to use a patched build of chromium for the mpp. [^1]
Hardware accelerated encode is a (non-ARM) ChromeOS, Windows, or Mac OS exclusive.
Was looking into "brunch" as a way around this, maybe with crostini.
And meanwhile learned that ChromeOS is being replaced by Android…

The cleanest solution found was to use the ChromeOS kernel in Gentoo.
Use this Gentoo box to host LXC containers running the ChromeOS ROOT-A.

After all this it's possible that hardware acceleration still wouldn't work with the tutoring platform.
This is because of "negotiations" on the WebRTC encoding.
But probably it would work…

>So, i tried installing CachyOS today. Live CD looked like a standard "Arch for lazy and/or stupid people" kind of thing
I recommend EndeavourOS for that use-case. But I suggest that you just install Xubuntu or Linux Mint and use distrobox to get programs from the AUR (and other distros). Arch Linux requires that you read the wiki a lot and that you know the basics of terminal and bash. This is why I can't recommend Arch for newbies or lazy people.

I installed cachyOS on a chinese handheld gaming computer (gpd win 4) and it's pretty good. the latest version of bazzite didnt even want to boot anymore. i didnt check if it had man or not, i just open the terminal to update once every week or so, cachyOS has been fairly unobtrusive despite it being a rolling release distro, which is good enough for something that is going to be showing steam in handheld mode like literally 99% of running time.

Is there any cheap, quiet notebook/Chromebook that tuns Linux? I just want something that has a browser and terminal/Emacs. It being quiet is one of the most important factors as it would be to use while the wife is sleeping next to me.

can someone help me? i was trying to install ddcci-dkms so i could control the brightness of my monitor but now when i boot my monitor shows "no signal". i think the gpu is fine since it spins and shit. tried accessing my user and removing the packing and reconfiguring but the keyboard doesnt seem to work (numlock led doest lit up), i have tried all usb ports and a second keyboard and none worked. any ideas of what should i try?

<Computer networking is the practice of connecting two or more computing devices to enable data exchange and resource sharing, using either physical cables or wireless signals. Key components include end devices (like computers and printers), media (cables or radio waves), protocols (rules for communication), and networking devices (such as routers and switches). These networks range in size from small Local Area Networks (LANs) in homes to expansive Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span the globe, like the internet

Thread to discuss computer networking. I thought we could use one because networking has an unusually long shelf life for IT skills, unlike programming and even linux to an extent, networking hasn't changed (at least very much) because its basically the physics of IT.

Machine Learning general. So anybody here actually do any ML programming? I just installed PyTorch yesterday and actually started training some shit. It was pretty easy to get working. But… I am a dumb dumb, so I am going to go back and learn all the basics I think, because I have delusions that maybe I'll be able to do something interesting with it, but I know unless I'm really knowledgeable about it, the probability is less than zero.

I know that thread about bitching about ML is the most popular thread on /tech/ but I thought we should have a separate thread for people actually programming it.

Apple just launched a new revolutionary product that completely changes how you can use your phone. Will bernd get the $149.95 version, or the $229.95 pro version that comes with a long strap? It's even compatible with icky green bubble androids.
https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/11/introducing-iphone-pocket-a-beautiful-way-to-wear-and-carry-iphone/
>ISSEY MIYAKE and Apple today unveiled iPhone Pocket. Inspired by the concept of “a piece of cloth,” its singular 3D-knitted construction is designed to fit any iPhone as well as all pocketable items.
>Born from the idea of creating an additional pocket, its understated design fully encloses iPhone, expanding to fit more of a user’s everyday items. When stretched, the open textile subtly reveals its contents and allows users to peek at their iPhone display. iPhone Pocket can be worn in a variety of ways — handheld, tied onto bags, or worn directly on the body.

Please actually learn how web infrastructure works instead of trying to figure the world through memes.

>>31750
The Internet already is very centralized or federated among a moderate number of backbone providers, depending on how you see the role of organizations like ICANN or the IETF.

Cowerflare primarily acts as a CDN and DDOS protection. The former means users access a cached version of the site on servers geographically closer to their location. Both are accomplished by configuring hosts to essentially hook into an overlay network, that is accessed through a number of local, DDOS-resistant Cloudflay servers. Consequently they control the sites DNS record, any TLS certificates for https, as well as any traffic between the site and other Internet hosts.

This is why some people call it an MITM. It's also far from an essential service. As you might know other forms of DDOS protection exist, but Cloudfer often presents itself as the path of least resistance.

They're always some fucking reactionary manbabies with 0 knowledge on anything that isn't *clickclickclickclickclik*

And whenever their work sucks and fails they'll try to explain how it isn't their fault really, without ever fixing the issue. I hate windows but their fucking """"powerusers"""" are worth less the dogpoop
3 posts omitted.

I would install Windows if it meant a Linux lady bossing me around.

I know that it's in theory possible to be a Windows user who actually has technical knowledge but in practice I've only ever met Windows sysadmins who do everything in the stupidest, least efficient ways possible or otherwise rely on off-the-shelf products for literally fucking everything because none of them have even basic programming/scripting knowledge. I fucking hate working in IT

i genuinely haven't used windows for more than a couple mins here and there for about a decade now. at this point i can't even use it very well. it's always funny when word and excel ninjas ask me to check something on it and i tell them i don't know how to. "b-but you're a programmer! how can you not know simple <random windows use case>??" is their usual complaint.


 

Saw Mental Outlaw's videos on the tor network. Thought I'd give it a try. Evidently, it is filled to the brim with exit scams and glowie pedobait. And I found it funny how Tordex/Torch admins try to justify not censoring such garbage.

>The search results on Torch are not censored because we believe trying to censor the dark web is counter productive and a waste of resources. Our philosophy is people have the right to do anything they want and live with the consequences, Torch should not decide what people do with their lives even if it’s morally wrong. We’re a search engine not your conscience.

>If you would like to advertise your hidden service please check our our advertising rates.

Yeah right, it's because of TRVE freedumbs n sheeit, it totally doesn't have anything to do with advertising scam websites to horny pedos and making money off of it.

Funny tangent aside, if there are any useful resources related to cybersec/privacy/tech on tor, please let me know. I'd like to get something useful out of it.

It doesn't need to be a honeypot to be a bad idea. Although I can't see how Riseup email is worse than any other email provider.

Like you didn't already know that. That's like the one thing everyone knows about the darkweb is that it's like 99% CP. Tell us more about your trip to Thailand.
