I like how this article conveniently left out the fact that Google also created JPEG-XL, and implies AVIF is a Google proprietary format.

Can't believe how far FSF has fallen if they have to resort to straight up lying to people to get their message across.

Google did not create JPEG-XL. They answered a call by the independent JPEG standards org, as did others. The majority of the spec and ideas came from elsewhere, as did the reference code.

Next you'll tell us Microsoft made C++ because they have an employee on the standards board...

That's my issue with fanatics, they think the ends justify the means...
