Skill issue.
I'm a Linux user and didn't even notice, let alone care, when I downloaded images as webp because it works just fine with all my other software (Dolphin, Gwenview, GIMP, etc.). There is no problem with webp; who gives a shit?
@grue You don't need to identify yourself as a Linux user. The insulting remark at the top of your post and the tone of the rest of it makes it clear.
Ever been forced by your workplace to use a piece of software you'd prefer not to? For example, ever tried to share a webp image on MS Teams? You can't; you have to convert it first. Lots of household-name software rejects the format.
Hopefully the Firefox team needs to care about more than the needs of condescending Linux users.
It's not Firefox's problem that MS Teams (or other "household name" software) sucks.
Edit: ITT: people getting mad at me for pointing out that they're misattributing the blame.
@grue Another very productive reply. Great. Enjoy your perfectly cross-compatible software environment that somehow exists despite a lack of compatibility not being a "problem" for any software maker to care about.
You mean I should enjoy my perfectly cross-compatible software environment that exists because the the people making it recognize their responsibility to support the latest standard, rather than acting like proprietary software makers by whining and demanding that everybody else cater to their old, broken shit?
Thanks, I will!
But by all means, continue wallowing in your self-inflicted misery instead if you want. Just don't get mad at me for not "productively" explaining how to solve your problem, because I have. You just don't want to hear it.
@grue Stop replying now.
Why are you @ing people? Lemmy uses threaded comment trees, we can see who you are responding to!
OP is a Mastodon user who confused an unofficial 3rd party Lemmy community with Mozilla's bug tracker.
@woelkchen @queermunist It happens on the Fediverse, where apparently if your community is unofficial you don't need to note that in your description.
