Nature has a way of warning others, just look for a red hat or American flag

It actually is! I tried it for a while and noticed its impact on reducing my hunger, reduced swelling (I could tell because the rings on my fingers were no longer “tight”), and its easy to make so there’s no excuse not to eat healthy.

for all the hate the guy gets, I do appreciate that he’s at least taking a science-based approach and publishes what works/doesn’t. The core building blocks he continually pushes people to follow are the basics we already know: good sleep, food and exercise.

Outside of the common sense he’s tried various protocols and only continues them if the biomarkers they’re tracking show some kind of improvement. He’s spending his millions to test things and publish data for us to use, I don’t see any harm in that. He’s even published basic meals (Super Veggie) that anyone can make to ensure they’re eating healthy and getting the most bang for their buck (nutrient to caloric content ratio).

pixels are supported for 7 years now, and older second-hand phone is still an option. but agree on privacy being a spectrum and not an absolute.

That’s true, but its not always about the server, people tend to download images/memes/etc with the intent to edit/share. If you were on macos and happened to download a webp image in the 10 years that Apple didn’t support them, you were in for some googling and/or frustration.

yeah macOS supports webp now (since ~2020), but it lacked support for a decade, causing frustration for its users and anyone trying to support macOS/Safari.

its interesting to me that this is only really an issue on proprietary OS’s (mac/windows) as i’ve never had an issue with any image or video formats when using linux. i use all three but linux is my primary OS. mac/windows mostly stay at work.

16 CVE’s for libjpeg just last year: https://app.opencve.io/cve/?vendor=jpeg

Bitwarden and Cryptpad. Both open source and self hostable, yet I pay for both. paying for open source is possible.

HEIC faces a few struggles with adoption:

1. It’s patent encumbered.
2. It’s not free as in “free beer”, someone has to pay for it.
3. It’s not free as in “free speech” - you can’t use, modify, and distribute software or formats without restrictions due issue #1.

AV1 and AVIF don’t have any of these issues –someone correct me if I’m wrong or missing something– so anyone is able to include/distribute the software and modify to their needs.
