if you could pick a standard format for a purpose what would it be and why?
e.g. flac for lossless audio because…
(yes you can add new categories)
summary:
- photos .jxl
- open domain image data .exr
- videos .av1
- lossless audio .flac
- lossy audio .opus
- subtitles srt/ass
- fonts .otf
- container mkv (doesnt contain .jxl)
- plain text utf-8 (many also say markup but disagree on the implementation)
- documents .odt
- archive files (this one is causing a bloodbath so i picked randomly) .tar.zst
- configuration files toml
- typesetting typst
- interchange format .ora
- models .gltf / .glb
- daw session files .dawproject
- otdr measurement results .xml
My god please no more yaml
videos .av1 (someone mentioned mka or something like that, cant recall but thet mentiomed it being a ‘container’)
Yes, you’ll never see an av1 file. Typically it’s in a webm container. mkv is common too.
People tend to like videos with audio and subtitles.
Yeah hi can someone explain the logic involved in advocating for Free Lossless Audio Codec as a method for storing photos?
So you can hear the photos real good
FLAC causes synesthesia.
list amended LMFAO
Documents: markdown.
config files: json/hjson
if you disagree dont feel afraid to comment, please do
Damn I read this as
" If you disagree, don’t comment"
mwahahahahaha
Why odt over HTML?
markdown (md) or org for notes/things that don’t require much formatting.
I’m not in a place to make points for which one’s better.
AsciiDoc for plain text markup. It handles more use cases, and has fewer ambiguities in the standard than Markdown.
Have you seen djot? It’s from the author of pandoc.
I haven’t, but I will check it out.
No MP3 for lossy audio? :(
MP3 is old embrace opus, high quality audio in small size!
The only reason for it is compatibility with specific software. It’s otherwise just worse.
