Old John Brown

This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist)

For those that do not get this one: it’s a reference to a somewhat older meme from the late 2010s

Same here.

The tree wonders whether the bench is made of its chopped down neighbour.

Postal service PostNL uses them, so I happen too see them from time to time.

Sorry, when crossposting I should have edited the title to be better one than the title used in the OP and in the article itself.

The former. The other comment was referencing the video game “Fallout: New Vegas” (in which a character states that that is how he got a job in the USA’s last functional power plant (but has no clue at all and basically admits to the main character that he lied to recruiters).

Is that a Newfoundlander?

He’s uncircumcised

Which is the norm outside, say, the Middle East and some parts of the US.

Fallout (the original) 2 had one but not the one posted here.

Edit: I was misremembering which one

The Guardian cannot spell “Mastodon”, it seems from this “article”.

Just make sure it’s not addicted to crack.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar.

I am running mostly Firefox or Librewolf on Linux these days, but I do not remember having to enable it. Not all of my systems support accelerating AV1 in their hardware, but they do play at 1080p (but with framedrops once above 30fps on the unaccelerated computer). But yeah, I do hope YT keeps VP9 around because of the acceleration.

Fair point.

I mean, given that many devices do not support accelerating it, it is in practice “hard to accelerate” unless you add a new gfx card or buy a new device.

I may not have worded it optimally (2L speaker), but I am sure it was fairly clear what I meant. 🙂

For AV1 that could still be okay, lol. It would be kind of meh for e.g. H264 but YT does not even use that anymore AFAIK.

I can only imagine that they (OP) set quality settings on [auto]. That way they might have YT constantly lowering bitrates/resolution. I do not have any issues either, but I use fixed quality settings.

Youtube pushes the AV1 “format” heavily these days which is hard to decode using hardware acceleration, given that a lot of devices still out there do not support that.
