What file formats, technologies, techniques do you think would benefit most people by being more common? Or that people would benefit by being more aware of? (lemmy.sdf.org)

.7z seems to be good and I do recommend it to people, saying that it's better than regular zip. Have recently started using opus n webm files more.

I've also heard about jxl recently. Would be very nice to see it become popular, as it could reduce the size of my memes n screenshots folders. Faster webpage loading too.

Are there any other file formats that'll be useful to people, but isn't getting enough attention?

In the case of apps, Trebleshot seems to be good for android file sharing. I like it's web sharing option having an upload form. Helps me where I don't have to ask others to install an app to send me a file locally. Not sure about it's encryption n security aspects, but I only have used it for local file sharing.

And what about other stuff similar to that, other than file formats or apps?

Recently have started exercising my neck. Not neck bridges and loaded things tho. Only safe n simple movements. Seems to be good, especially after using a monitor for some time. I think it's not much talked about, maybe because of the fear that people will overdo it?

It's available as a technical preview in Safari, and Mozilla in nightly builds only, according to what I could find. Support in Chrome/-ium was removed December 2022 with no news of any change as far as I could see, so Chromium-based browsers won't have support, from what I understand. You could use an extension for Chrome to add support, but, as a content provider/site owner, you can't rely on users and visitors installing that to view your site properly, of course.

I'm not telling you to lose hope. I still have hope too. But don't invest time and effort into JXL if you want to serve images online. Not until promises of widespread support from all major parties. At least not on the web. If you plan on sending files to people, then sure.

All the best to you!
