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 Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.
All my default photos are jpg. What's wrong with that?
JPG is not bad, but it uses more storage space for the same quality compared to HEIC/HEIF
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.
For most usage, probably nothing. Let's be honest you arent looking at those pics again most of the time. Most of the ones you do, you're looking at on your phone which has a tiny screen. Ask yourself how many times you've wanted to zoom in 10x on a jpeg on your computer and there's your answer as to whether there's anything wrong with it.
And today I learned that HEIC is not a proprietary Apple format
Classic jpeg still has value and there's improved revisions.
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
Windows now supports other formats than BMP. It's already a huge progress.
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!
Obviously, they wanted to get it just right.
We even got GIF! Now that it's starting to show its age.
PCX 😒
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
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
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
Imageglass, be chill
