THAT’S how I’m supposed to get ten years of experience in a five year old technology

quantity over quality is a pretty effective scam technique, it’s hard to get money from experienced technical users. So the initial hook is sometimes designed to intentionally be obvious to those users so they know to ignore it, so that the scammers don’t waste their resources on the later stages of the scam

that’s federation for you

it’s a mastodon toot, those are tags

who’s joe?

oh I’ve only ever read it, never heard it pronounced, do people really pronounce it engine X?

couldn’t you do that anyway if you can get people to install an extension? taking advantage of this for crypto mining purposes feels like extra steps

here we go I’m pretty sure this or a related summary is what I’d seen before, it wasn’t a recent read so i might be wrong but it sounds familiar

i remember reading that even those are highly inaccessible to minorities, in areas with large minority populations the offices are farther away/have weird hours/other obstacles that make them harder to acquire

what’s your take on weird aunts with tattoos of cats?

no way the Red Cross finally made its way into a video game

rare W on the misinformation front for YouTube and Twitter, obviously not all platform misinformation is in ads but I’ll take what i can get

easy enough to resolve, since the G stands for GNU just pronounce it the same as that, and since GNU stands for GNU’S not UNIX, it pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU

asking for forgiveness rather than permission sorta just seems to be their policy these days, yeah?

the worst kind of interactive loading screen is one that is fun on a game that loads quickly.

This is of course a problem that should only be complained about and never fixed, please don’t make your game load slower just so that i have enough time to press buttons

I’m sorry my subtitles worked fine from the beginning so I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve got a pi4 running osmc as my media center if that makes any difference.

oh hey I’ve actually done this recently so a lot of this is fresh for me. Now I had a slightly different use case than you, I had a bunch of AV1 files that wouldn’t run on my pi so I had to convert them to something less GPU intensive. I was finding x265 was indistinguishable for me from AV1, and had a HUGE file size drop, close to a half or even a third. x264 had a larger file size than 265 and looked worse so I don’t recommend it. I did not try VP9 once I was satisfied with 265 but you could try it out and see how it compares. My recommendation is to pick one (shorter) file and run a couple of different transforms on it till you’re satisfied before trying to transform your entire library

Preserving audio and metadata is trivial, just use -c:a copy for audio and -c:d copy for metadata

EDIT: I feel dishonest not mentioning the important caveats regarding my own experiments. My files were 1080p, so the difference between codecs might be less noticeable at that resolution. It was also anime, which is similarly going to be easier to compress and be less distinct between codecs. This is why I cannot recommend x264 because if you can ruin 1080p anime it’ll ruin whatever you’re working with. This is why I recommend picking a sample video and spend a day running a couple test transformations on it to see what you like

i don’t know about this place but i know with a lot of other delivery options the “fee” does not go to the employees, it’s just extra money because they can

I’m starting a new social media which is just pictures and short form video of crabs
