The lengths I had to go through to open this even on my Linux desktop. Wow.

  • pictrs failed to generate the thumbnail
  • The image crashes Firefox
  • Chromium shows a broken image icon
  • Gwenview says it can’t load the metadata
  • Okular says it’s an unsupported image format

I had to open the darn thing in GIMP lmao

E: one install of kimageformats5 later and Gwenview/Okular can open it fine. Firefox still refuses to open it even with image.jxl.enabled set to true.

Firefox jxl support is restricted to nightly

You have to have an extension to get jxl on Firefox and even then it’s still buggy :)

The built-in Firefox support is only activated for unstable builds, so you can’t enable it on stable unless you manually enable it during compile-time.

As an Android user, OP’s image was accurate.

  • My Lemmy app couldn’t open it.
  • Chromium showed the broken image icon.
  • Firefox said it was broken.
  • Firefox Beta with the about:config flag for enabling JXL still said it was broken.
  • Gallery apps couldn’t open it.
  • Renaming it to .jxl still didn’t help.

I gave up and grabbed a JPEG XL viewer/converter just to see it.

i don’t want to go to all that effort. if you feel like it, could you describe it?

I don’t remember what it said exactly, but here’s a rough description:

Image Description

It’s the King of the Hill if those kids could read they’d be very upset meme, with the piece of paper saying “JPEG XL memes” and the kids in the classroom being labeled “Android users”.

Almost full marks,

the paper says

JPEG XL is a superior image format that your device should support

It’s “JPEG xl is a superior image format that your device should support.”

i don’t want to go to all that effort

full image

Huh.

Memmy on my iPhone just shows it

I’m not sure what’s up with pictrs. I compressed this image with https://squoosh.app default settings if it helps.
