The lengths I had to go through to open this even on my Linux desktop. Wow.
pictrs failed to generate the thumbnail
The image crashes Firefox
Chromium shows a broken image icon
Gwenview says it can't load the metadata
Okular says it's an unsupported image format
I had to open the darn thing in GIMP lmao
E: one install of kimageformats5 later and Gwenview/Okular can open it fine. Firefox still refuses to open it even with image.jxl.enabled set to true.
- Huh.
  Memmy on my iPhone just shows it
  
  Yeah jxl is fully supported on iOS
- As an Android user, OP's image was accurate.
  My Lemmy app couldn't open it.
  Chromium showed the broken image icon.
  Firefox said it was broken.
  Firefox Beta with the about:config flag for enabling JXL still said it was broken.
  Gallery apps couldn't open it.
  Renaming it to .jxl still didn't help.
  I gave up and grabbed a JPEG XL viewer/converter just to see it.
  
  i don't want to go to all that effort. if you feel like it, could you describe it?
- The built-in Firefox support is only activated for unstable builds, so you can't enable it on stable unless you manually enable it during compile-time.
- You have to have an extension to get jxl on Firefox and even then it's still buggy :)
- Firefox jxl support is restricted to nightly

I couldn't view this with Firefox or Gnome. ImageMagick to the rescue, though:

- Lmao, I tought it was some instance issue (didn't read the title).
  
  We should all use jxl and force people to support it

c/programmerhumor is going to be the place where people go to try and break fediverse clients, isn't it?
- That "people who forget the terminator" post approves

Why is it .jpg and not .jxl? That's the registered extension for JPEG-XL.
- I'm going to assume Lemmy doesn't allow native upload for jxl, but to fudge around it you can use jpg?
  
  Here's a .jxl JPEG-XL upload I did on Lemmy three days ago;

I'll upvote out of principal but fuck tryin to look at that shit lol

Loads fine on Mlem on my iPhone
- It is supported through the entire Apple product line in recent versions.

Interesting, it struggles with the embedded image here on Lemmy, but when going to the image directly, I can see it fine.
Edit: OS: Windows 10 Pro / Browser: Firefox with JPEG-XL support enabled

Works in Cromite on android tho.

worked fine on my android phone, using Connect.
worked fine on firefox & linux, the file shows as .webp to me.
Decided to investigate this a bit: when opened to new window, the image url has ?format=webp query argument, if I change that to ?format=jxl then it breaks as the server actually provides a .jxl file. At least I had to TRY to break it :P
bash

% file c6ca4c8c-20a2-4105-8e6c-833d8c7d3e52.* c6ca4c8c-20a2-4105-8e6c-833d8c7d3e52.jxl: JPEG XL codestream c6ca4c8c-20a2-4105-8e6c-833d8c7d3e52.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image, VP8 encoding, 623x700, Scaling: [none]x[none], YUV color, decoders should clamp

Loads by default for me on Firefox Android, and I can see the embed just fine.

Works for me on Eternity for Lemmy on Android 13.
