As much as I love to hate on apple, any of this format shit is 100% Windows bullshit. It's not just pictures, with shit like webm, or some random video codecs it'll ask you to FUCKING BUY! But even shit like Windows only supporting some like 3 file formats from the god knows how many out there. Ever since I switched to Linux (heck, even fucking MacOS would do better) all this stopped being an issue. Fuck windows for literally only supporting their special selection of formats. There's a good reason why the first step of many people installing windows is also Installing VLC or MUCH superior image viewers. Because Microsoft chooses to not support most things out there!

Exactly. Android's default image format is HEIC as well. Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.

[-] HEXN3T 3 points 5 days ago

And today I learned that HEIC is not a proprietary Apple format

Classic jpeg still has value and there's improved revisions.

Windows now supports other formats than BMP. It's already a huge progress.

[-] B0rax@feddit.org 9 points 6 days ago

They started to support svg (which is 23 years old by now) in Office a month or so ago. What a time to be alive!

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Obviously, they wanted to get it just right.

We even got GIF! Now that it's starting to show its age.

How many distros support h264/265 out of the box? They probably don't support most HEIC images either since they're HEVC on the inside

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

Almost all of them? They may prompt you to install additional codecs but thats it. Most software displaying images support thoose image formats. Man we have vlc to display any format

That's exactly the same case as Windows. The built-in photo/video players don't support them out of the box, but do if you install the free codec from the store, or you can install any 3rd party players you like.

There are lots of great things about Linux, but out of the box support for licensed video codecs isn't magically better than Windows

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

I am talking about the prompting "on install". Its just add on install and everything works. That sounds like out of the box support for me

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 5 days ago

Imageglass, be chill

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

I can use HEIC on Arch (btw) just fine. As I recall there's some bullshit you need to download on the Microsoft store to get it to work. It's a pain in the ass.

[-] th3dogcow@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Have you got compatibility turned on in the photos app?

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 9 points 6 days ago

I didn't take the photos.

[-] General_Shenanigans@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Becoming a default to have it installed in Windows. On a personal machine, it’s easy to fix. In our work environment, we just made sure it’s on the image by default. You can also circumvent a windows store block by installing appx stuff in Powershell.

[-] JTskulk@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Here's $0 kid, buy yourself a better operating system. All the others come with HEIC support.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 days ago

Get work to implement it.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

How many browsers open it natively?

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 2 points 6 days ago

Only Safari.
