if you could pick a standard format for a purpose what would it be and why?
e.g. flac for lossless audio because...
(yes you can add new categories)
summary:
- photos .jxl
- open domain image data .exr
- videos .av1
- lossless audio .flac
- lossy audio .opus
- subtitles srt/ass
- fonts .otf
- container mkv (doesnt contain .jxl)
- plain text utf-8 (many also say markup but disagree on the implementation)
- documents .odt
- archive files (this one is causing a bloodbath so i picked randomly) .tar.zst
- configuration files toml
- typesetting typst
- interchange format .ora
- models .gltf / .glb
- daw session files .dawproject
- otdr measurement results .xml

My god please no more yaml

Yes, you’ll never see an av1 file. Typically it’s in a webm container. mkv is common too.
People tend to like videos with audio and subtitles.

Yeah hi can someone explain the logic involved in advocating for Free Lossless Audio Codec as a method for storing photos?

markdown (md) or org for notes/things that don't require much formatting.
I'm not in a place to make points for which one's better.

Why odt over HTML?

AsciiDoc for plain text markup. It handles more use cases, and has fewer ambiguities in the standard than Markdown.

Org mode is much better, using === for headings is dogshit

No MP3 for lossy audio? :(
the_lone_wolf@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 2y
MP3 is old embrace opus, high quality audio in small size!

The only reason for it is compatibility with specific software. It’s otherwise just worse.
