  • Their dumb counter argument was AVIF, for the same reason as webp which is reduced total size since they're a massive cloud provider and want to penny pinch costs wherever possible.

    JPEG-XL also has a progressive loading algorithm that increases the quality as you download instead of classic vertical scan loading, which is sick but I don't think any browser actually bothered to implement it yet after the Google hit job.

    Hopefully will see it in action soon.

  • Proton-GE is essentially bleeding edge with all of its dependencies and upstream set to latest, so it gets updated constantly as a rolling release.

    Valve waits until the next version has been well tested before bumping it in proton experimental, and then eventually the default release.

  • This just seems like a repeat of these companies buying all the similar/unicode like domains to ensure no one can grab a domain with resemblance to the name.

    Considering a most of them aren't even used for anything practical, I wonder if this was just another ploy by ICANN to make money lmao.

  • I know Proton-GE usually takes a week or two.

  • Default zsh is just bash, you need to add all the fancy plugins to get it to do cool stuff

    fish is for people who don't want to spend the time setting it all up and to just get a shell that has most of the QoL fetaures builtin.

    And then top comment is usually someone pointing out how utterly stupid the post is.

  • They should make one that shows the unix timestamp with the full 32 bits lmao

  • Kali, ParrotOS, and BlackArch are the B-52s flying overhead out of the frame

  • "The M4 Sherman was a capable tank, but it was the far superior T-34 that won WWII"

    "Oh this is from War Thunder's russian bias"

  • Gonna keep spamming this cuz I made it a year ago and it sat in a random folder on my PC for the perfect time lol

  • The reasoning is that HTS was able to secure a reliable supply line from Turkey, immediately absorbed the eastern Kurds, and now they basically follow American and Israeli requirements no questions asked.

    Actually out of all the things listed, removing Assad was probably the easiest and cheapest to pull off, and they likely would have succeeded without the supply line. They just made it happen faster and ensured they have leverage in Syria for the foreseeable future.

  • My personal favorite:

    Seriously, this is getting old. I have a fat collection of comments on this and c/Politics from 2+ years ago saying Biden was gonna flop long before Harris added fuel to the dumpster fire.

    This thread even has the classic "regardless if you didn't vote against Trump, its 100% you're fault that we're in this situation"

    Yeah definitely my fault Harris's campaign staff banned my local democrat state legislator from attending the DNC, and basically told a substantial voter base to fuck off.

    Can't wait for the next horrendous candidate they'll run with in 2028. Probably Newsom.

  • Yeah I would have much preferred Maduro being conveniently couped instead of captured.

    Everything automatically improves when the CIA gets told to be more clandestine and the president can just deny all involvement, along with her diehard supporters who insist she would have also saved Gaza.

  • CIA has been on fire these past couple of years.

    Trampled Imran Khan in Pakistan and perma froze the military regime into power

    Toppled Assad after Russia went broke

    Captured Maduro with some high level bribes

    Played with Israel to essentially dismantle Iran's internal power structure and consistently set back their nuclear program dozens of times.

    They got basically everything they've wanted on their hitlist since 2000. I'd be genuinely surprised if Iran can survive past this decade.

  • You forgot the part where they bribed some Venezuelan defense officials to stand down. Everyone saw this regime change coming, they just didn't expect the US to get directly involved.

    That entire Chinook formation could have been shredded by a single infantry group equipped with some cheap stingers (or equivalents).

    Some of the local reporters even claimed that Maduro's own security convinced him to leave by helicopter, where Delta was already waiting for him.

    They key note here is that Maduro was not well enough supported within his own circle. If you want a recent example, they could have done the same thing to Assad since he fled without even notifying the CO of his army.

    Countries like Russia and NK have a complicated internal political structure that revolves around the leader ensuring he can never be couped. The US wouldn't be able to just buy them off to create such a situation.
