jpeg-xl seems to do the best being successively re-saved, which is important on the web

svg is also just kind of annoying to deal with, because the image may or may not even have a size, and if it does, it can be specified in a bunch of different units, so it's a lot harder to get this if you want to store the size of the image or use it anywhere in your code

they wrote both AFAIK

maybe we should include alchemy in the list then

Alchemy was a subfield of natural philosophy, not a profession. Its European practicioners had typically studied medicine or theology.

Chemistry is not alchemy and astronomy is not astrology and philosophy is not divinity.

Alchemy and astrology were the precursors to modern chemistry and astronomy.

If someone I knew generated AI images of me I wouldn't think it was okay

I also instantly asked myself if the image was AI and reverse searched it when I saw it.

Even the first one only works if there's no need to have site-wide user authentication on the domain, because you can't have a domain cookie accessible from subdomains anymore otherwise.

that can read as passive aggressive though

People who are inclined to take offense at true statements are going to find ways to complain or take offense no matter what. We shouldn’t bend over backwards to accommodate that sort of behavior.

That’s fine.

The public suffix list interferes with cookies. So on a service like livejournal, where you want users logged in across all subdomains, it's not an option

having worked with wxwidgets only a tiny bit, things simply don't look or even work the same across operating systems with wxwidgets. It tries to use native widgets wherever possible, but that also means things behave slightly differently across systems, and if the toolkit doesn't provide a matching widget, it sometimes just uses the next best thing. All this also makes it rather hard to style things in a way that looks good. It's good for simple applications but you run into the limitations quickly if you actually try to use it cross-platform in my limited experience.
