Behold for in this post lies my greatest Co-Host achievement. Within lies the grave of JPEG2000 as a format you could freely upload to social media. All others do not accept the format, nor does cohost anymore.

This is the last social media post to ever hold JPEG2000, so this is a gravesite, a memorial to a JPEG2000 future we never got to have.

Look upon this place and tremble, ye who try to replace an entrenched standard with only a slight improvement.

Consider this: what's the most common place JPEG2000 is used and supported? PDFs.

Cohost should let us upload and embed PDFs as long as they're just encapsulated images

HOLY SHIT I CAN SEE IT IN SAFARI WTF

edit: also wow that looks like shit lol, is that Safari just being broken?

Nurbs, not Nuurbs @Nurbs1/12/2023, 10:38 PM

I took this image from the reference set, it should decode. It does decode fine everywhere else, it just appears Safari only keeps the red channel. I assume this is some long forgotten feature that hasn't been maintained since the early 2000s, it's a miracle it works at all. :P

implemented in 2010 for desktop and 2012 for iOS, and looks like for almost half that time the open source contributors have been begging to remove it lol

Nurbs, not Nuurbs @Nurbs1/12/2023, 10:48 PM

Oh no I just gave more ammo to the person giving examples of uses of JPEG2000 to encourage them not to use it.

"Nurbs on Cohost.org used JPEG2000, we need to keep it for one more decade. This is a load bearing chost!!!"

~@modulusshift1/12/2023, 10:50 PM

lol, if you follow the link to the GitHub issue, they seem to have made the decision to remove it in September and it's going to be removed from all WebKit in March, sounds like.

Nurbs, not Nuurbs @Nurbs1/12/2023, 11:19 PM

I'm resisting the urge to barge in and be like. "No, you'll break my shitpost! You'll regret this!"

This will probably be the final hurrah for JPEG2000 I guess. I will treasure these last few months!

Relax it tells me, as red seeps into my entire vision

Lupi @lupi1/13/2023, 1:14 AM

ChromeOS fails at it, rip

Vikxin @vikxin1/13/2023, 3:22 AM

Do I need to forward this to the Safari devs? I can.

Nurbs, not Nuurbs @Nurbs1/13/2023, 4:00 AM

They're apparently removing JPEG2000 in September. Which is sad as when that image loaded, despite all the read, I was ecstatic. It was like finding a fossil. :P

Vikxin @vikxin1/13/2023, 10:35 PM

Hot take, jpeg2000 was never good

Nurbs, not Nuurbs @Nurbs1/14/2023, 1:53 AM

It wasn't, or more specifically, wasn't better enough to bother with making the switch. Basically the same problem things are having now. Everyone's fine with JPEG, so anything new is a hard sell. It's not like video codecs where there's a lot to gain.

lmao at this still working in Safari right now

Nurbs, not Nuurbs @Nurbs9/11/2024, 1:44 AM

This is actually the very last month you can see it. They’re removing support for jpeg2000 by the end of the month. I dunno about desktop Safari but it only shows the red channel on iOS:p

~@modulusshift9/11/2024, 4:48 AM

still looks same as it ever did, yeah, just the red channel. well good to know they're only about a year behind schedule based on when we were chatting before lmao
