Lossless was discounted due to webp, but doesn't webp lossless only use 8bit depth RGB? (I think it is important to have a separate file extension for lossless stuff anyway, otherwise it gets confusing quickly)

Lossless was discounted because lossless just isn't very useful on the Web

I can tell you that I don't care if the AI slop used in everyone's AI generated blog is lossy compressed. In fact, expecting it to be of such import that lossless is required is pretty farcical.

We have to apply some weight to the fact that one is open, one isn't, right?

AVIF is royalty-free, & SVT-AV1 and libaom are open source.

Both are open I think.

What do you think the best use cases for jxl are? Where does it still have an advantage over other formats?

"For non-photographic images, the argument that “they should be vector images” doesn't hold up because many images could be vector images but aren't, and they can't be vectorized perfectly. “The world should be different” is not a justifiable defense against optimizing for the way the world actually is."

This is a good paragraph. I see people forget to apply that last sentence all the time.

We all know these aren't purely technical reasons, it's to break the monopoly of one Internet Company's decoder format portfolio. You can't let one Fruit Company's format be the thing either, so it's basically a L for engineering but a W for pleasing everyone TBF.

I didn't realize progressive AVIF was a thing recently either; the comparison between that and jxl was pretty surprising.

All my photos are HEIC. Why not just use what I have and not translate?
