  • As a potential independent candidate Cuomo didn’t poll that bad if you don’t consider that:

    • the 39% he got are the same as Mamdani, so it would be 50/50 at best
    • as a known quantity, this 39% are probably his ceiling
    • it still didn’t factor Schumer effectively endorsing Mamdani on social media

    Political players are in still in flux, but, for the right wing of the Democratic Party, moving against Mamdani is getting riskier and riskier by the day. Not only would they lose the “unity” argument to mobilize the left close to the midterms, but the risk of suffering an humiliating defeat is too great.

    Congratulations, your noob user is now using JPEG-XL. It’s not working on old devices, or any mainstream browser besides Safari. The less mature library also has a bug that allows for RCE and now everyone is running a cryptominer.

    Now you say, but webp is supported everywhere, so let’s go with that. Now the noob is using wepb for a bunch of rasterised vector graphics with 4 or 5 flat colors, and he’s wasting more disk space than before.

    So I repeat, if you need one size fits all, PNG is better, it works everywhere, and it’s even more efficient in cases where lossless graphics matter the most.

    The title is hyperbole. PNG is lagging behind modern lossless formats in terms of new features.
    This doesn’t mean it’s a bad format or that it shouldn’t be used. In fact, it should still be the default unless you need something it doesn’t support or really need to reduce file size.




  • It was because Abe, like other LDP politicians, had an history of propping up the Church of Unification cult. The shooter picked him specifically because of a video of Abe speaking in one of their churches. Abe’s family in particular has connections to the cult since the very foundation, and their ties to the LDP are something out of a “Like A Dragon”/“Yakuza” plot.
