    Hi
    It's hit and miss linking with the different Linux versions.

    I suppose jpegli team will eventually release v0.0.1 builds. e.g 64-bit Linux static.

    In the meantime I think 32-bit cjpegli.exe might work with wine.

    I don't mind if this thread quietly goes to sleep now.

    So long, and thanks for all the fish. :-)

    Hi
    Seems we need to compile jpegli from git.

    https://github.com/google/jpegli

    I'm not able to do this at present.
    Maybe a tildean person here is. :-)

    I want to experiment and compare results with my installed mozjpeg.

    Anybody know where there is a jpegli precompiled?
    Something to drop into Linux usr/local/bin.
    Or a windows executable to use with wine.

    • WARNING! OFF TOPIC QUESTION *

    Hi skybrian
    I can see that B is at start of headline..
    BYD’s aggressive push is setting baseline for what an EV should cost
    And t is the 68th letter.
    Hence the 0 and 68 in your link...
    https://archive.is/zt8wE#selection-1551.0-1551.68
    So my browser scrolls to that headline and highlights those 68 letters.

    This link does it for just first three letters BYD...
    https://archive.is/zt8wE#selection-1551.0-1551.3

    That's smart.
    But where does the 1551 come from?
    And did you calculate this selection yourself counting on your fingers, or was it generated by your browser?
    (Scroll to Text Fragments feature or similar).

    Hi
    I've looked into this idea before...
    https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Reading/Dark_mode

    I would be interested in a Wikipedia dark theme for Android Firefox.
    I'm not a registered user.

    Some of my previous posts here have been about dark themes using uBlock Origin "My filters".

    And I thought OK, maybe I could achieve a sexy black homepage...
    but once inside things might go titsup.

    All those images, graphs, charts etc.
    So much to go wrong.

    Hi
    With this LITE site ---> https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/
    There isn't the Dark Theme that's available for original duckduckgo site.

    I found a "My filters" rule on the web.

    Add these two lines to My filters

    lite.duckduckgo.com##html:style(color: rgb(141, 141, 141) !important; background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgb(48, 48, 48) !important; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif;)

    lite.duckduckgo.com##a:style(color: rgb(201, 201, 201) !important;)

    When the rule is used the search homepage looks reasonable.
    And the search results...
    The black background is not very black, not as black as Tildes black theme.
    I can live with that.

    But the red text under each result is very muddy.
    Can that be improved?
    Make it brighter Crimson or even Orange would look better.
