    The Extensible Web Manifesto (by extensibleweb)

  • The toll of feature creep is what led to the informal adoption of The Extensible Web Manifesto, which argues that the web platform should focus on minimalism and performance. New features should be addressed via extensibility whenever possible. Things like WASM, Houdini, and web components were all prioritized to allow implementation of features on top of the platform and thus reduce the rate at which browsers accumulate technical debt. Features being proposed face an uphill battle if they can be implemented using a more generic mechanism, if there are already competitive alternatives, or if the proposed platform extension is not minimal.

  • libjxl

    JPEG XL image format reference implementation

  • One thing that doesn't really get mentioned is that libjxl has official .deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu users. You can just download the appropriate archive from the libjxl releases section (packages are available for Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04), do a sudo dpkg -i *.deb, and now your file manager has support for .jxl thumbnailing. And at least my distro's default image viewer (xviewer) gained viewing support just from installing the debs.
