Nice gimmick that noone going to use since audiophiles got their own CDs, vinyls or hard drives with music in FLAC and other people won't stream 40MB of data to listen to 7 minute song with headphones/speakers without proper sound quality which allow to enjoy lossless audio.

Personally I'm excited for e10s and Wayland backend support in release channel.
Mainly so I can have a fucking dark titlebar under GNOME, but also because Xwayland has that annoying draw artifact on resize due to X.org itself.
X.org also seems so slow to me after using Wayland for three months. I can't even bother to go to an X.org session anymore, even to play videogames.
Jeremiah Young
Also this is because pointer locking protocol isn't implemented in Xwayland, for 3d videogames. Once it is, there's no reason to go back.

Audio codec support is the least of FFs fucking problems.
Robert Murphy
They should implement FLIF which actually has the progressive decoding advantage.

You really need to be a "special" kind of person to think progressive is an exclusively political term.
Kayden Adams
I'm sure chiru.no will be pleased to hear this
Easton Reed
Year of FLIF never ever.
Austin Lopez
As someone who likes the GPL(v3) and prefers copyleft licenses, I think a permissive license would have been more suitable.

Grayson Morgan
LGPL would have been just fine. There was really no excuse to release FLIF under GPLv3, not even preference for copyleft. Fuck, MPL itself has some amount of copyleft.
Jackson Butler
It's even more retarded than that.
Are we going back to the days when each word processor had its own printer drivers built in?
Jackson Taylor
DOS would be an improvement over Win10 though.
As would a simple 386, like the one Linus had when he started writing his kernel.

The sad part is I can guarantee you aren't trolling and that you're actually this stupid.
Cameron Green
No, really, how many outdated copies of libavcodec am I going to have simultaneously loaded in RAM at any given moment in the future?
Jack Kelly
Lossless formats are not for listenting even outside the internet, they just store sound data in case you want to further process it.
Landon Williams
fuck off
Dominic Bennett
Why would I not listen to my FLAC files? What do I gain by transcoding them to MP3 instead?
Jace Miller
storage space
Dominic Nelson
Are you for real? FLAC + MP3 takes MORE space than just the FLAC file, and the MP3 adds absolutely nothing. It's just a degraded version of the FLAC.

delete yours flacs then

Explain your reasoning for thinking progressive decoding is good.

Charles Lee
I'll just leave this here.
Cameron Morris
What you could technically do is encode pipe the flac into mp3 in real time and listen to the song that way, while no data gets saved. This is the most agreeable way to listen to music
Jonathan Kelly
Looks like they have a couple of audiophiles at Mozilla now.
Gavin Scott
The Internet has not yet learned how to be lossless. And I think Mozilla is going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place.
It is not going to be the lossy place that it once was in the last decade. FLAC and png are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for the Internet to make. The Internet is now going into a lossless mode, and mp3fags will be resented because of our leading role.
But without that leading role, and without that transformation, the Internet will not survive

Congratulations Mozilla.
You're only 4 months behind

Ogg/Opus replaces MP3. FLAC replaces WAV.
Jayden Watson
why
Nicholas Bailey
friendly reminder that the last MP3 patent expires on 2017(or 2018?)
Ayden Lopez
Friendly reminder that MP3 is the JPEG of audio formats, and needs to be replaced with any of numerous more efficient successors.
Mason Davis
tard status confirmed
it's good for low bandwidth connections when you want to preview the file as it downloads. it's got nothing to do with hillary clinton

MNG was dead on arrival, get real. They made the right call with APNG.

It supports flac and not ogg? Hmm....

A used MagStor or equivilent drive runs about 2-9 thousand bucks. And a SINGLE tape like the one pictured on the low end is 1.3 grand. Do you know how many fucking hard drives I could get with that? Raid for days my nigga.
Luke Miller
I see LTO-6 drives for $1200
and 2.5TB tapes for $43-$70
LTO-7 will drop down in price when LTO-8 is out
Lincoln Robinson
1) That's a 10-pack, you stoned doublenigger, meaning $22.983/TB. For comparison, the cheapest HDD on PC Part Picker is $26/TB.
2) LTO-7 just came out, so the prices are a bit inflated. LTO-6 & LTO-5 carts are about twice as cheap, at ~$10/TB: backupworks.com
3) "$2-9 thousand"? The same website sells brand new LTO-7 drive for that much.
4) For what it's worth, dealing with 25-128GB/disc media, BD-R is also hovering around $10-$20/TB.
Same, though I see a few LTO-6 drives that sold for as little as $600.

You are starting thinking, dumb FLACCER. A few days of thinking more and you will realize you should delete useless bloat stupid FLAC's.

I guess we should've just burned all the film reels because VHS was good enough.
