As much as I love to hate on apple, any of this format shit is 100% Windows bullshit. It's not just pictures, with shit like webm, or some random video codecs it'll ask you to FUCKING BUY! But even shit like Windows only supporting some like 3 file formats from the god knows how many out there. Ever since I switched to Linux (heck, even fucking MacOS would do better) all this stopped being an issue. Fuck windows for literally only supporting their special selection of formats. There's a good reason why the first step of many people installing windows is also Installing VLC or MUCH superior image viewers. Because Microsoft chooses to not support most things out there!

Exactly. Android's default image format is HEIC as well. Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

And today I learned that HEIC is not a proprietary Apple format

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

I had my phone taking photos in HEIC for a couple months. i ended up switching back to .JPG because both signal and whatsapp stuggled with it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

All my default photos are jpg. What's wrong with that?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

It’s a 32 year old format that makes pictures worse in order to save space. A lot changes in the tech works in 30 years. While there may be nothing inherently wrong with it, there’s far better image encoding algorithms these days that can store images in less space without reducing the quality as much.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 22 hours ago

JPG is not bad, but it uses more storage space for the same quality compared to HEIC/HEIF

How many distros support h264/265 out of the box? They probably don't support most HEIC images either since they're HEVC on the inside

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Almost all of them? They may prompt you to install additional codecs but thats it. Most software displaying images support thoose image formats. Man we have vlc to display any format

That's exactly the same case as Windows. The built-in photo/video players don't support them out of the box, but do if you install the free codec from the store, or you can install any 3rd party players you like.

There are lots of great things about Linux, but out of the box support for licensed video codecs isn't magically better than Windows

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I am talking about the prompting "on install". Its just add on install and everything works. That sounds like out of the box support for me

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Windows now supports other formats than BMP. It's already a huge progress.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They started to support svg (which is 23 years old by now) in Office a month or so ago. What a time to be alive!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Obviously, they wanted to get it just right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

We even got GIF! Now that it's starting to show its age.
