Heyo Everyone! - is there a win or mac software to batch convert imgs to avif?
shit i did not know that.. does it also work well with wordpress etc? because the only downfall of avif is bunch of extra steps on a nginx to get it to work right.. Also, u/LITUATUI 's comment, do i just change avif to jpeg-xl? i found something but didnt fully finish reading yet https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl

FSF Slams Google over Dropping JPEG-XL in Chrome
One of the most interesting things to me is that JPEG-XL is under an open Patent License, unlike the original JPEG.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL
Also, Google contributed quite a bit to it's development. As the patent grants show:
https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl/blob/main/PATENTS
https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/PATENTS
Microsoft seemed to have gotten a patent on part of it's implementation (which Google also tried to get). Not sure if Google will pay to invalidate that patent, but I have a feeling they are more likely to defend AVIF.
https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/17/microsoft_ans_patent/
Google's control is a little concerning, but I do feel there are bigger fish to fry then choosing between two free formats. Like H.264 and H.265 patents.

MuPDF WASM Viewer Demo
I’m curious, have you tried SumatraPDF (uses muPDF under the hood)?

SumatraPDF Reader
Do you mind reporting those issues either to SumatraPDF at https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues or directly to MuPDF at https://bugs.ghostscript.com/ if it also has the same issue? Thank you!
There are many wonderfully weird PDFs and epubs out there, but we do our best to fix issues. :)

FSF Slams Google over Dropping JPEG-XL in Chrome
FWIW, https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/1249 ("Support form filling for at least 1040 irs form") has a comment saying "MuPDF-GL has the capability to edit fields and save the PDF" of a 1040.
I have just learned the Firefox 93 added support XFA - https://techdows.com/2021/10/open-xfa-pdfs-in-firefox.html .
So it would appear there are free software solutions to XFA forms.
Just because something doesn't seem far-fetched to you, doesn't mean most people will regard it as far-fetched.
Many people all sorts of "sectarian objections" - far more than there are SovCits or other tax protesters. Stallman has never come across as a tax protester. Ergo, I think it's far-fetched that "sectarian objections" is strongly associated with tax protests.
Further, at https://stallman.org/archives/2017-may-aug.html we can read Stallman opinine that we need to "return to the "bad old days", when Americans in general could have a decent life, not penury; when the US could afford to build what the public needed instead of privatizing everything with a toll" by making taxation more progressive. At https://stallman.org/archives/2011-jan-apr.html we read he supports "The Fairness in Taxation Act [which] would raise taxes to 45% on incomes over a million dollars a year."

a good pdf reader
If you are going to run something in wine, try sumatrapdf. It's FOSS but Windows only. (sadly, but runs great on wine)
