Webp currently the best image file format.

Out of the widely supported ones, it's quite good, yeah. Overall, I'd say JPEG XL is the better one. Ironically, only Safari supports it out of the box. Firefox requires a Nightly version with tweaking in about:config. Chrome used to have a feature flag, but has since removed it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artyom - it is. And the Z in their username is actually capitalized. Hmm, I wonder why.

What about Satya Nadella's pockets?

ISPs putting you behind NAT is not cozy.

They charge extra for a feature called "static IP". But the IP address not being static is not the issue, for me at least. You could host stuff with a dynamic IP back in 2000s/2010s. But no, now you get to share the same IPv4 address with a bunch of other households, unless you pay extra.

/64

That's not an address, that's a whole fucking subnet consisting of 2^64 different addresses. ☝️🤓

When you report a user in an individual chat, WhatsApp receives up to five of the last messages they’ve sent to you.

This particular function is not at odds with E2EE. The client can either:

  • Send decrypted messages to the server. This is flawed because a malicious client can fake them, setting someone up for a ban;
  • Send the keys so that the server can decrypt the messages. Depending on how often keys are rotated, this might leak a couple more messages than intended.

Love to see him calling his supporters morons.

WhatsApp is not open-source, you can't compile the client yourself. It doesn't matter if it's been audited by a third party. That version could've easily been backdoor-free.

I quoted the psychiatric definition on purpose.

The general population has a tendency of diluting medical, mostly psychiatric, terms, either rendering them meaningless (see people describing themselves as having OCD because they are quirky) or even turning them into slurs (see various names for intellectual disabilities, like "imbecile", "idiot" and so on).

I have an issue with that specifically. I replied to someone else why stretching the age from "prepubescent" to "below the legal age of consent" (hell, some poster even suggested "below the legal age of majority even if the legal age of consent is lower") bugs me.

How's that moral high ground, dude? Feeling good about yourself? Calling me creepy, knowing fuck all about me.

I replied to others what's my issue with people diluting the term, just in case you give a shit.

Man "conveniently" referred to the psychiatric definition. Because the "sexual attraction to a person below the legal age of consent" definition is
a) harmful to victims of actual child sexual abuse (in my opinion);
b) geographically-dependent. In Europe the age of consent is 16, for example. According to the other posters, there are states in the US where it is lower than 18.
