Gregory's ServerQu'est que Mastodon fais chier à reconvertir en mp3 à partis d'un fichier OGG Vorbis… Ça n'a absolument aucun sens de recompresser un truc déjà compressé, et en plus vers un format moins efficace aussi bien pour de l'espace que par dans qualité… Du coup y a même pas l'excuse de « c'est pour gagner de la place ». J'allais non plus uploader du FLAC…

 @Gargron That may be true for embedded systems like car music players or even entry-level HiFi equipment, that is still 20+ years behind in terms of format support… But that's hardly true for any non-embedded and up-to-date software… OGG is not Opus (which is actually still not-so-widely supported), and has been around since the ≃2000s… There's no sane reason to not support it "because it's not supported elsewhere"…  @Gargron Ok, I got your point… "look, apple still doesn't support standards instead of it own bastardizations, so apple has the right to dictate what so-called 'open source software' should support, and what it shouldn't, so it doesn't offend the apple fanclub" @Gargron Yeah sure, paying over 800€ for a dumbphone and over 1200€ for low-end computers, sound much like "everyday people" And looking for efficiency (avoid useless recompression of compressed media) by supporting well documented standard with 20+ years of existence, is just being about "pleasing some free software nerds"… Thanks for your usual "I know better than everyone who doesn't agree with me and I don't care about other people's advice" attitude… @h30x @lienrag @devnull More wisely than ensuring that nobody on Mastodon encounters media their browser won't play? This is a rhetorical question, please do not respond. It would be bad UX if people routinely saw unsupported media files on the platform. I don't care if the conversion makes your specific file slightly bigger. |

Tu as expliqué ça à @Gargron ?
