Google Looks To Bring JPEG-XL Support Back To Chrome / Chromium
Back in 2022 was the surprising decision by Google that they were going to deprecate JPEG-XL image support in Chrome. By the end of 2022 they went ahead and removed JPEG-XL support from Chrome/Chromium to the frustration of many web developers and end-users interested in this image format. Now though as we get ready to roll into 2026, Google engineers are looking at bringing back JPEG-XL support to the Chrome web browser...

I was somewhat sceptical about "Shantae: Risky's Revenge" (not really a fan of "pixel-art") but after a short while I get used to it and enjoyed it… and then started "Shantae and the Pirate's Curse" and OMG… it's so awesome and entertaining! 🥰😍

The JavaFX Properties/listeners approach if really powerful to bind UI components to changing values.
But it is often over-used and the main source of performance issues. It's very easy to kill performance by adding a listener to a property that is modified during layout.

There's still some weirdness but I have mate-session running on Redox. We now have GTK, X11, wayland, d-bus, and dconf ported (though there are still some bugs). With these fundamentals in place, porting software from Linux has become much easier.
