You can either promote JPEG-XL or say yiff for the rest of your life. The choice is yours.
No thanks, I'll just continue to pronounce the g in graphics correctly.
One problem: it's Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg... I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.
NOOOOOOOO DONT DO THIS NOOOOO
It isn't, really. There's no rule or other logical reason to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent. In which case you would have to start every phone call with "ahoy-hoy" like Mr Burns since that's what Bell proposed.
Ok, then why does the logic not make Jpeg into Jfeg?
I never said whether or not the same logic applies to the ph digraph and I'm frankly not sure whether or not it does. What I DO know is that it applies to the g in gif.
So special pleading.
Nope, just phonology.
It is illogical if you say the reason for saying it with g is the same as in graphic. Just say you find it easier to read it or like it that way (that's how i say it too)
No. Phonological consistency is inherently logical and the default used when no exceptions apply.
Then what is the exception for Jpeg?
The ph digraph, of course.
That is not how acronyms work tho.
Gif stands for "graphics interchange format", or a graphics card. You don't call it a jraphics card or a yraphics card.
Joint Photographic Expert Group. Do you pronounce the image format Jfeg?
I agree it's hard g gif, but your logic is flawed.
Scuba, and laser are other examples where you're wrong
This is the way.
I love seeing people mention JPEG-XL in the wild, I wish it was implemented in more programs and websites too. JPEG-XL was always the superior image file format. I'm sorry if facts hurt the feelings of the webp-Kings, but them's the facts. And I will dig my own grave on this hill. Good day!
There are dozens of us! !jpegxl@lemmy.world
JXL is fucking crazy good and I take Google's decision to stand in its way personally.
Basically my intro to improved jpg is the Library of Congress Sanborn insurance maps. Either download and archive a 300MB TIFF or a 20 something MB JPG2000.
GIMP is a fine viewer for me, but it is incredible
y'peg shull
