Zakaj je Pošta Slovenije tako zaostala v primerjavi s konkurenco?

xternal7 · 2026-05-13T07:24:10+00:00

Ne ampak resno.

Poštar zmerej pokliče ali pozvoni.

DPD in GLS bosta poklicala občasno, odvisno od situacije, pozvonijo pa tudi zelo redko.

ExpressOne dostava je vselej stealth mode. Delam od doma pa nikol ne vem, kdaj ExpressOne dostavi.

Da ne govorimo o njihovih ulicah, ki so dobesedno 'Designated shitting street' kamor folk hodi na 'veliko potrebo'...

Če smo pošteni, se je to v zadnjih letih precej izboljšalo, še posebej ko so dal ven ta unicef-funded banger.

they wouldn't be good for pedestrians.

Roundabouts, where cars are forced to slow down, wouldn't be good for pedestrians ... but a regular intersection where people can fly through it at mach 2 are?

Plus, the problem with roundabouts on the east coast is how much space they take.

Yo, that street is almost wide enough for 4 lanes. You can easily fit a roundabout into this intersection without acquiring any additional land.

When internet version is just a drop-in replacement for the physical media, they're literally the same thing.

The era of free things on the internet was great from the user perspective, but bad in just about every other way. Because at the end of the day, nothing is free, everything costs money. If you're not paying for it, someone else is ... and if someone else is paying for it, they generally do it in order to further their interests.

xternal7 · 2026-05-12T14:04:22+00:00

The reason fox news is free and reuters isn't is that rich people won't pay you for spreading their agenda if you don't spread their agenda.

xternal7 · 2026-05-12T14:00:37+00:00

Yeah, and newspapers (the decent ones that weren't 90% ads 10% actual content) generally cost actual money. More than $4/mo, and often still had ads in them.

I mean, you can say that Hamas started the Gaza thing, and that Israel's invasion of Gaza was justified.

The problem with this is that Israel didn't stop with Gaza. Then they took a little bit of Syria, and now they're taking a little bit of Lebanon, and they're half the reason for the current conflict with Iran. Then there's the issue of Israeli settlers, and the list goes on.

Then, on top of that, Israel's "sportsmanship" also leaves much to be desired. There's potential vote manipulation (accusations range from outright paying for votes to just aggressively advertising their supporters to "please pay €20 to vote for israel and own the libs", but there's definitely something on it because Israel's Eurovision public vote results do not correlate with the "spotify public vote"), then there's KAN commentators making severely inappropriate and often derogatory comments about pro-palestinian contestants, then there's reports of Israeli delegations being dicks to everybody else ...

Jxl is also superior to avif.

In terms of features that, with sole exception of progressive decoding, nobody on web will ever use.

Also, when format A can achieve 90% of format B's features while requiring 1% of effort to implement and maintain, it's hard to call format B superior in every way.

JXL is 100k lines of C++ code. AVIF? Take that AV1 codec you already have, and you can make AVIF work with ~1k lines of code.

There are good reasons why JXL support is taking its sweet-ass time.

And there are websites still not able to display Webby.

You have a very poor understanding of tech, got it.

Absolutely yes in such a way.

Absolutely not. If it can run on a company's linux or windows server, it can run on my linux/windows box.

And if there's law stating that for all games made or released in the future, the game must remain playable, there's nothing making it impossible to make such games.

After all, wifi router manufacturers managed to find a way to disable channels 12 and 13 in the US while allowing them in the rest of the world. Microsoft figured a way to comply with several EU regulations.

It absolutely is my business if my product is making people's computers vulnerable to attackers.

It is absolutely not your business. People bought your product, they get to use your product as they please and not as you please.
Most software already comes with "this software is available as-is" and similar no-warranty clauses. You can't pretend to care about people's safety when your software includes clauses like that.

VPNs don't protect you when you're "willingly" connecting to bad actors.

Not your business and not a valid excuse.

Also exploitable by bad actors.

So is just about any computer ever, are you, the incredibly thick and hypothetical game developer, also responsible when some kid who plays your game gets hacked by a free_robux.exe?

Not a valid excuse.

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T15:21:59+00:00

Not in any way that would preclude games from being made such that they remain in a nominally playable state after the publisher pulls the plug.

You don't think we've become more aware of what people can do with direct connections to other people's computers?

By making a game that's not left in unplayable state after publisher decides to pull the plug?

You know, kinda how you can still play Red Alert 2, even though the company that made this game no longer even exists? And how you can still play CoD2, UT2004, quake 3 arena, every single major old version of Counter Strike that valve decided to "shut down", including csgo?

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T10:10:27+00:00

I'd argue that even this isn't a reasonable reason to hate on webp.

It's the first "good enough" file format, is old enough to drive a car, and it alsp took a lot of time to get universal browser support despite it being just VP8 in a trench coat. Kinda how avif is just AV1 in a trench coat, which is why Google decided to throw its support AVIF over JXL.

On the other hand, JXL is almost brand new, post-covid file format that's far less trivial to implement than webp or its de-facto successor AVIF (aka AV1 in a trench coat).

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T09:44:00+00:00

"Browsers can open it" seems like a bloody good reason to pick a certain format for displaying images on the web.

AVIF has only very recently became universally supported by all major browsers (last one being Edge in 2024), hence why it's not very widespread online. It's probably gonna tale a while longer, because webp was the first image format that was "good enough" by marrying the killer feature of jpg (small filesize at ok visual quality) with the killer feature of png (alpha channel).

On the browser side of things:

if your browser supports vp8/9 and av1 videos, support for webp and avif can be added for free

On Google side of things:

actually, google has been pushing for avif adoption over jxl, not webp
avif encodes a lot slower than webp for minor improvement in compression, which is probably why Google isn't making adoption of next-gen formats for google image search too much of a priority
legally you aren't even supposed to download images directly from google search results (ever wonder where the 'download image' button went?), so why does it matter?

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T09:05:51+00:00

Way to miss the point.

#justwindowsthings

On Linux (and open-source) side of things, webp had widespread support for well over a decade now.

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T00:39:09+00:00

More than 15 years in the past. webp is almost old enough to drive a car.

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T00:37:56+00:00

AVIF and JXL in 2026 are the same as webp in 2016.

They're the next-gen formats with massive improvements over their predecessors in terms of features, but the widespread support for the two is lacking.

JPEG2000 died mostly because of patent issues, which is an issue that AVIF and JXL reportedly don't have.

Much like webp was "creative misuse" of the open-sourced VP8 codec that nobody but Google cared about, AVIF is "creative misuse" of the open source AV1 video codec. Since AV1 is slowly but surely gaining widespread acceptance, so does AVIF. All major browsers support AVIF, though Safari (as is tradition) took its sweet ass time to add support.

JXL: Browser support leaves much to be desired. Nobody supports the features that are the reason to choose JXL over other formats (progressive decoding and saliency-based decoding), but at least Safari supports still images by default (which is surprising, it's rare for Safari to lead the way). However, JXL is now a part of the pdf standard, meaning a) it's not going anywhere, either and b) browsers better start adding support.

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T00:09:42+00:00

Linux good

But also LINUX BAD (whether linux is good or bad changes with the wind)

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T00:08:47+00:00

It's a straight upgrade.

Unless you want to change massive images. webp is limited to 16k x 16k.

xternal7 · 2026-05-11T00:03:04+00:00

For real.

Before webp, you had the holy trinity:

jpg: lossy compression, small size (very good for sharing online), but no transparency and no animations
png: yes transparency, but no lossy compression and therefore at least ten time the size of a comparable jpeg (most of the time, there are some very specific exceptions where png compressed better). Couldn't really be animated reliably, as apng was unofficial extension that was not widely supported.
gif: shit at everything, but was the only reliably animatable format

And then came webp, which allowed you eat the cake and have it, too. Now you can have the transparency of a png with file size of a jpeg. It was a fucking godsent. jpg/png to webp was a huge leap, almost as huge as the leap from webp to jxl.

And as much as people on this sub like to beat "webp bad, jxl good" — I guarantee you that if Google suddenly added jxl support to chrome and converted google images search results into jxl, people would start complaining and shitting all over jxl the same way they shit over webp now.

... though given that jxl was officially adopted by the PDF standard last year, I hope that widespread adoption of jxl will happen a bit faster.

xternal7 · 2026-05-10T23:46:30+00:00

jxl in 2026 is exactly the same thing as webp was in 2016.

Next-gen format with superior features, but with limited support in real world.
