    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.

      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.

      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.

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

      Firefox jxl support is restricted to nightly
