#JPEGXL / #JXL, the most requested and upvoted focus area proposal for #web #Interop, has again been rejected as a discussion topic for 2024's web platform Interop industry event, because "We did not have consensus to include this proposal."
Given the industry's broad support, lack of "consensus" sounds an awful lot like "the Google Chrome team lead who authored the AVIF format arranged for it to be vetoed."

pet and i have an inside joke where we will describe each other as "walking on all those legs"
it exists because i searched for all permutations of "all ___ legs" on google ngrams and found that "all those legs" was one of the results: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?…
and then we were just thinking about how funny it would be if you were reading a novel and the line "she walked in on all those legs" appeared

UNITE All-Nighter Delights Amateur Astronomers - NASA Science
Maybe you read about them in the papers–amateur astronomers in Japan, Russia, France, Finland, and the United States have been pulling all-nighters to spot extraordinary exoplanets, planets orbiting stars other than the Sun.science.nasa.gov
Just tuned in again to @radiofreefedi and immediately loving the last two songs:
"Codex Nimbus" by @jefftheworld

Beauty in everything is no bad thing, by The Tired Horizon
from the album Fantasy FlowerThe Tired Horizon
The full album downloads (in mp3 or flac format) also come with the original XM modules, so you can see how the songs were written, modify them, pull out the samples, etc.
It's like the source code for the tracks, and you can check it out using a modern Fasttracker 2 compatible program like ft2-clone.
