The fact that iPhones are getting this before Android phones without Google Play Services tells you all you need to know about the nature of RCS. Android has lost all of its intrigue and fun in favor of becoming GoogleOS

Filesystem compression is dope.

Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented. Even if it’s conditioned on a grant of reciprocality. It’s only when patent holders start demanding money (or worse, withholding licenses altogether) that it becomes a problem

I’m pretty much all BTRFS at this point

JPEG-XL is in no way patent encumbered. Neither is AVIF. I don’t know what you’re talking about

No, there aren’t any licensing issues with JPEG-XL.

YouTube serves VP9 video (and more recently a lot of AV1) and I think the Pis only have hardware accelerated decoding of H.264/5 as it stands today

Minecraft is arguably & measurably more performant on Linux, full stop. Anything using OpenGL performs better on Linux, check any Minecraft benchmark online.

Also, a lot of towns/cities remove those romantic locks regularly anyway.

We need more nuclear power ASAP

It is a modern successor to formats like WebP & JPEG. WebP was barely competitive with JPEG

Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly

I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish

I think the wave of hype sort of overshadowed a couple of key points about these chips:

• Performance & efficiency aren’t leaps & bounds ahead of the Intel & AMD crowd
• ARM Windows laptops are still Windows laptops

Battery life is hardware and software.

I’m partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I’ve found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess

I’m glad Fedora has GNOME as default. The KDE spin appears to be well-maintained enough for those interested to enjoy it.

I’m happy with Wayland

Chrome OS.

Huawei’s doing great. Plus, there’s a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
