  • yeah this chart would be a lot better if it had information on recovery.

  • IDK I'd assume anything uploaded more than 10 years ago needs to be re-encoded (but you should learn more about the old and new encodings before generalizing that blindly).

    I've also had success removing embedded language audio tracks from a file that had 5+ languages from the original Blu-ray. Each language was over 1GB/per movie for a specific offending collection.

  • You can always write native apps or use rust. I don't recommend doing that unless perfectionism/being esoteric/learning is more important to you than just making the webapp.

    The main issue with fb/TikTok is the 9 billion trackers and ads. So step 1. Don't do that.

    Svelte/SolidJS are smaller/faster than react/ vue. React has the most tutorials, but I think vue is the easiest to learn.

    Next, while working on your app (probably all of those use "vite" instead of web pack by now) meticulously watch your build size. Avoid installing giant dependencies if you can. If you have lots of options, pick libraries that are tree-shake-able. rollup-plugin-visualizer will help you visualize which Javascript file(s)/ dependencies are big. You'd be see surprised how many webapps that is basically 10kb of functionality ends up being 1MB of Javascript.

    If your webapp is small you probably don't need to think too much more about this, but you could probably ask others to critique your code later.

  • Most people—including myself—can’t claim to fully understand what the "right" kind of politics is.

    dude literally writes 4 paragraphs that can be summarized as "How am I suppose to know when to not use the n-word?"

  • Just wondering, generally speaking in fedjob situations like this, why do people resign instead of refusing to do the bad thing and staying in the job?

  • based

  • It's possible none of those would technically be WW3 by itself, perhaps the start of heavier US commitment in the first of those conflicts might be perceived as the opportunity for the others to get started. Maybe even some less obvious conflicts are merely waiting for NATO to be preoccupied (e.g. random colonies being invaded or declaring independence). The US will be forced into taking at least one L, or switching back to a war economy.

    • India vs Pakistan
    • ISIS expansion
    • Water Wars (multiple locations)
    • USA invading Mexico
    • Syrian Civil War
    • Greenland War
      • IDK if Denmark can defend Greenland, but NATO could article5/split
  • I've heard of some, but like I've never heard of one being used by a leftist.

  • She's now considering getting wireless earbuds, but she's not a fan of having to recharge them to be able to use them, and is also cautious about the e-waste potential.

    I was wondering if there exists a bluetooth device that connects to your phone, and the device itself is just a headphone jack.

  • if you run into this issue, don't buy anything.

  • I don't think someone should need to look up a guide on how to buy a video game without feeling scammed.

    there goes all NFT/crypto games lol.

  • FOSS

    AFAIK It's not even possible to sign up without a Google account, facebook account, or phone number. I'd like to signup in a way the US government can't revoke.

  • All the Linux details are weirdly off, like it's correct enough if you were copying someone's homework, but it's just wrong if you've actually done anything in linux.

  • I'm wondering how people will be vouching new books aren't LLM generated?

  • any estimates on lost sales numbers?

  • so that's actually a decrease in security for the actual user who owns the device.
