2029 Headline: Worlds largest data breach caused by zero day exploit in popular PNG 3.0 renderer

the payload was reportedly embedded in an animated image of the attacker repeatedly flicking his left testicle

That was because they added 'shorts' and friend-lists to it.

I bet it was a single flick and he ran it on a loop.

Animated PNG has been trying to be an extension to the PNG spec for 20+ years.

Yep, it was one of the ways to have an animated avatar on BB forums.

Most recently, I have seen them being used in animated chat stickers (like on Signal).

Right there's actually like a select few applications that support it which is cool, but so many get confused when they see an apng file with frames.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Probably still more supported than Webp and Webm

It's great that Papua New Guinea is still receiving updates /s

Would this be the Gif killer? If PNG can contain a relatively similar frame count & time limit but with marginally better image quality it just may.

Jxl train choo choo

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Now if anyone don't mind explaining, PNG vs JXL?

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

JXL is badly supported but it does offer lossless encoding in a more flexible and much more efficient way than png does

Basically jxl could theoretically replace png, jpg, and also exr.

Interestingly, I downloaded GNOME's pride month wallpaper to see what it looked like, and the files were JXL. Never seen them in the wild before that
