I would love to try it out.

There is some sort of tag, jxlinfo can tell you if a file is "lossy" or "(possibly) lossless".

I think GNU parallel has similar placeholders, but I do prefer to just use `fd`.

Vimium C has this option, you have to enable 'extensions-on-chrome-urls' flag.

Had to lookup regex crate docs, but it's possible:

    $ fd '(?-u:\xFF)'

Not sure, if it's a bug, but it eats 1.4G memory after running find for a few seconds, detaching, re-attaching and running find again.

There is also perf:

Can you assign virtual desktops to different screens?

> peace of mind of knowing PNG is always lossless

There is pngquant:

The blur issue is an easy fix, yes, but the memory one doesn't help that much.

I tried jxl.js, it was very finicky on iPad, out of memory errors [0] and blurry images [1]. In the end I switched to a proxy server, that reencoded jxl images into png.

A couple of videos comparing progressive decoding of jpeg, jxl and avif:

There's more on the same channel, generation loss ones are really interesting.

Lossless webp is actually quite good, especially on text heavy images, e.g. screenshots of a terminal with `cwebp -z9` are usually smaller than `jxl -d 0 -e 9` in my experience.

Why not just "fd -e fi.md -X batcat"?

This is a bit stale, bcachefs is now in the linux-next tree.

It's possible to set $ZDOTDIR in /etc/zsh/zshenv, I used to do it before switching to fish.
