  • I made a little desktop app in Godot once for sorting through D&D monsters, can't really release it tho because it requires you to have the whole official monster manual saved as jpegs for it to work

    I was able to get the layout pretty nice, but it still kinda breaks with some resolutions because I didn't write any custom layout code

  • Yes, it's definitely a more mainstream entertainment channel than pure info

    aimed more at gamers than tech people I think

  • IMO AVIF works really well at making convincing looking results at really high compression ratios, it's worse at pretty much everything else.

    And occasionally the 'convincing looking' results aren't actually very accurate to the original image...

    But those results really do look very convincing.

    And IMO one of the most compelling features of JPEG-XL is its' great lossless compression, although it is generally good all-around. AVIF is pretty terrible at lossless compression, usually well-behind WebP and only a bit better than PNG.

    Anyways, for photos, if you want to compress them a ton then maybe AVIF is best, but if you want high quality JXL is probably best.

    I think https://cloudinary.com/blog/jpeg-xl-and-the-pareto-front is a good comparison

    I would say gender is probably centered about around psychology, ranges mostly from sociology to biology, with a just little bit going into chemistry

  • I don't really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There's not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.
