The format wars are beginning again!

I remember the early days of the Internet when .jpg and .jpeg were different depending on browsers, .gif transparency was a wildcard, .png didn't exist, and Real Player was the best thing for video.

.avif & .webp are the new kids on the block.

    tbh it’s because i am self hosting this stuff on a home nbn connection in australia and a lot of people in europe get very slow speeds to me just through sheer distance so i want to optimise the crap out of these images and videos i post

    webp was working without issue and avif seems to work ok with piefed

    lemmy has this bug

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6684#issuecomment-6011335001

    and it looks like a problem with thunder?

    going to stick with it and hope lemmy fixes the problem and i saw thunder was updated recently

    reading up on it more it looks like image compression these days comes out of video compression codecs, so the standards are moving quite a bit faster now

    i think i saw av2 is coming soon
