onixhi, you might find interesting the case of Chrome removal of JPEG XL (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyk87VVfh9s ) - enforcing worse proprietary AVIF (controlled by a few corporations, with defensive patent license termination), and missing many features JPEG XL has: https://cloudinary.com/blog/the-case-for-jpeg-xlDec 22 08:46

schestowitz Happy Holidays and Article: 2022Dec 22 17:03
schestowitz> Hi Roy,Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzHello again :-)Dec 22 17:03
schestowitz> Glad the article resonates but sad for you that you areDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> driven to leave, as are so many of my colleagues. TheseDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> are dark times for academia.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzYes, but I did the right thing and don't have any regrets. I've been planning to leave for about a year already.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitz> The article belongs to the Times, but I can give you a slightly betterDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> version :) Under a different title, modified and re-written from theDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> original drafts.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzYes, that's what I reckoned.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzIn 2006-08 I used to contribute paid articles to media (they even paid up to $200 per piece... a lot of money back then), but they edited out things I wanted to keep and even twisted my original headlines to make annoying clickbait.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzAnd yes, when I say "edited out things I wanted to keep" I mean some factual things about habitual "advertiser"... Microsoft. Dec 22 17:03
schestowitz> The Times limit me to 900 words, but I know your readers are accepting ofDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> slightly longer form.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzSometimes I'd keep two versions, long and short or "professional" (censored) and honest.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitz> If I did that I could incorporate some of your reasons and observationsDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> too. Would you be able to promote it widely as you did with one of myDec 22 17:03
schestowitz> ealier articles that got a lot of eyes-on.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzYes, of course. BTW, Gemini is still alive and kicking. 3000+ capsules now. It was ~1800 a year ago, IIRC.Dec 22 17:03
schestowitz> all very best,Dec 22 17:03
schestowitzCheers.Dec 22 17:03
