Can’t comment on the rest but Firefox has already released a patch in their update.
The article states that chrome released a patch on Monday and others are following.
Why in the hell is Nobara still on v114? Anyone know?
Fellow Nobara user and man of culture, I see
Eh, for now. All the rolling release distros I tried were a disappointment in one way or another and Nobara has quite a lot of issues too that I can’t find solutions for. But I guess I don’t have anything to hop onto at the moment.
I’m in the same boat, and KDE is quite buggy for me under Nobara, but I’m too lazy to maintain a rolling distro and I haven’t found anything yet that I like more.
I tried Gnome first since I haven’t tested it long before their Unity overhaul and it was way worse. Really the worst desktop experience I’ve had (you can check my posts for a summary thread of my experience). The issues I have under KDE I did not have on any other distro so there must be something weird he’s done with it.
You might have just made me search for a distro to hop to. I looked at OpenSUSE but then realised that software availability might just be a pain in the fourth point of contact. Why god why me
Because it’s a hobby distro and that’s the kind of end result you should expect from those.
GE probably didn’t had the time to update or simply forgot, might be a good idea to ask on the Nobara channel in his Discord server
Discord can go to hell.
I’d just say Chromium browsers and Firefox instead of ‘other browsers’. Either way Firefox already put out a security fix so that’s neat.
FF = God
WebKit based browser users: There are dozens of us!
In Windows/Linux perhaps. There are far too few options. But combined, there are a lot of iPhones, iPads and Macs…
oh no, guess we need to get rid of webp forever. Dang it.
Hope that trash google takes itself out .
May I Ask why people don’t like webp? I don’t know the reason? To my eyes now it is a more ecological way of having pictures because of their lower weight?
It’s a better format than JPEG, GIF, or PNG, while doing the jobs of all of those, but better (in most cases), and is an open format. It also has wide compatibility nowadays. The only major downside is a lot of social media services don’t even think about it being a potential format due to a lack of awareness/wide usage, leading to a degraded experience when someone shares a WebP somewhere (lack of auto-embedding as an example). I suspect this is why it gets a lot of hate here, which is unfortunate because it’s not at all the fault of the format.
AVIF (based on AV1) is the up-and-coming format that beats WebP in most cases now, but support isn’t quite there yet (mostly due to Apple), and it has the same problems for social media as WebP. However, it doesn’t have any true lossless mode AFAIK. HEIF (based on HEVC) is also good, but is heavily patent-encumbered and not as open. JPEG-XL is dope and potentially even better in some aspects, but has very poor support across the board.
Proprietary formats are the bane of humanity. No one company, doesn’t matter, should have control over a file format. They should all be free and universally interoperable. A PSD, for example, should present and store data the same way if used on Photoshop or Pixelmator.
Companies are not your friends.
WebP is not proprietary. It’s an open format, is not patent-encumbered, and its reference implementation/libraries are open-source. It is driven mostly by Google, similar to Chromium.
They took the open source WebKit to develop Chrome and Chromium.
How did that turn out?
Google wants to own images. Doesn’t matter if they made the licensing whatever. They make webp. They have a personal vested interest in control.
You trust Google???

Perfectly? Web browsers are way better now than they ever have been.

WebP is a little better than PNG/JPEG and way better than GIF. That’s all that really matters.

Hell no. I reluctantly watch a bit of content that’s exclusively available on YouTube. Don’t use anything else of theirs and I’d drop YouTube in a heartbeat if I could find that content elsewhere.
Webp is literally AIDS.
