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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because it's a hobby distro and that's the kind of end result you should expect from those.

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

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.

WebKit based browser users: There are dozens of us!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In Windows/Linux perhaps. There are far too few options. But combined, there are a lot of iPhones, iPads and Macs…

Is it time for us to switch to JPEGXL

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Chrome removed support for it because they didn't invent it.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

In Google's defense, they're plenty willing to remove support for things they did invent!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Except they did invent it. They were on the development panel.

Not like it would be any more secure.

Welp, time to update my browser after months.

Webp is literally AIDS.
