  • 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.







  • Ironically staying home may help more than protesting as it denies Trump the ability to declare martial law due to “riots” — AKA peaceful protests turned violent by police. Basically just wait it out until midterms and hope for the best, assuming voting isn’t completely fucked by then and that people have learned from their mistakes and turn out in droves for the opposite of Trump. But you can’t tell people to stay home, they’re angry, rightfully, and want answers and their families back.

    I don’t see this getting any better. Anyone have a more optimistic take?
