the main thing with jpeg is adding 10bit would be a breaking change anyway, and storage space on phones gets you 30-40% more photos on the same storage if you change formats.

1. How long does size, encode time and resize take compared to good old jpeg?

2. Is it possible to encode AVIF with hardware acceleration?

JPEG is fast as fuck, due to it being designed for decades old hardware.

When it comes to hardware encoders, the nicest thing you can say about them is they're fast. Software tends to do way better at quality. Hardware AV1 encoders will be tuned for video rather than stills.

If going away from jpeg will 20x our hosting costs, it will be difficult to ever switch from jpeg.

As an aside: I tried using claude to write GTK4 applications in december 2025/january 2026 and it was awful at it, barely even helpful. Then in September it's writing great gtk4 apps with barely any prompting.

The capability ceiling of models in general has risen massively in not even one year. Back in 2025, I also found them to generally be a net-negative expense of time and effort. I wouldn't universally make the same claim today.

e16/e17 was a lot of fun, and it was fast.

e17 (Moksha) IS still fun!

Conspiracy people are like "nono, the government is lying to you", but really it was the corporations that make money all along.

One of the chief architects of the coverup died recently - massively wealthy, no consequences, and a fortune passed on to his descendants.

Slack is a very bad that is super slow no matter what time of day I use it. It completely locks up on a spotty network. Discord works way better and their voice chat is several leagues above.

Try alternative, native, Slack clients like msga.app or similar. They tend to use Slack's API pretty efficiently.

really need the simple voice chat for me to use it.

If you really insist, it can be hamfisted into IRC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R--_ATzE6o. (Though besides the official PoC https://github.com/asiekierka/voirc and my reimplementation https://spectra.video/w/vBd8cUmo9yYD5CtKbyjrL6, I have never seen this actually being used).

VoIRC is a joke project. It encodes your voice to base64 and sends that to an IRC channel at a rate that would get you kicked off most servers for spamming. Saved you a click.

ok, that is funny at least!

IRC and Mumble go together well, I think. Main chat/hangout on IRC and we all hop on Mumble to play a game or whatever, then close Mumble when done.

Yeah, I was about to say, the memory industry has been found guilty of price fixing multiple times.

I recently tried out some of my old dvds, and i have to admit I cant stand the quality of it on even my 27'' monitor, much less my 65'' tv. I'm giving blu ray a try though, can get disks for as low as $1-$3 on the used market.
