They are indeed working on it.

Yeah either something else is involved here or Israel is indeed selling Pegasus to literally any government that requests it. Let's not forget that NSO group is state funded so those deals clearly do have the approval from the Israeli government.

The GOP aren't just monsters, they're fascist scum that have no place in any civilized society. The party needs to be treated like the NSDAP after post war Germany.

Classic xenophobia.

This is the app I've used for Reddit ever since Slide was abandoned. Glad to see a Lemmy version.

The Reddit version will be moving to a subscription based app soon but for now, it's actually one of the few survivors of the Reddit attack on 3rd party apps.

Killing insects isn't murder. It's pest control.

As amusing as it is to see Elon fail, letters like "X" shoud not be trademarkable. Just one indicator that we're truly reaching capitalist extremism levels of insanity.

I'm willing to argue that "good guys" demanding backdoors are bad guys too.

Thunderbird. Free and open source, thus no corporate data collection garbage. Even supports extensions like uBlock Origin and comes with PGP encryption built in. They've recently had a major design overhaul as well.

I'd strongly advise against using Spark if you want your emails to remain private.

B. A is also good. Don't like C at all.

Indeed, Twitter and Threads are both awful. Just in different ways.

I wish more people would choose to switch from Twitter to Mastodon. Instead most of them are signing up for a Facebook owned app. 🤦

I'm fine with that.

Keep in mind that the RF values will be completely different if you use other encoders like H.265 or even H.264 with a hardware acceleration encoder. For 1080p, 20-22 is indeed appropriate but lower res like 480p will require a lower RF like 16-18 for the same quality. Meanwhile 4K will be fine with 24. Again, assuming you use the x264 encoder which is not hardware accelerated. For best results, I'd really recommend playing around with the settings and see what works best for you.

Handbrake's speed depends entirely on your settings. For example, in the video tab next to video encoder you can select codecs like H.264, H.265 or AV1. The newer the codec, the more efficient and space saving your result will be but also the more time it will take. You may or may not also see the same codec twice but with NVENC or some other hardware feature next to it. Those will be significantly faster. If you have a choice between multiple hardware acceleration options, I'd recommend picking Nvidia > Intel > AMD for the best results. If none appear, you could buy a newer graphics card that support those features if budget allows. Other than that, something else that also significant affects how fast Handbrake will be is the preset option in encoder option (also in the video tab). You can select everything from placebo to slow to fast to ultrafast. The slower the higher the quality but also the slower it will be. Faster presets will be faster but will offer lower quality.

Well, if the file sizes are too big you need to reencode them. That's just how it is, regardless of the software you're using. If your computer is too slow at that, you may want to use faster settings. For example, you could use a codec that's hardware accelerated by your GPU.

This is so dumb. I'd rather install an update that bricks the services of a spyware company that I avoid at all costs rather than having an active vulnerability in my OS. Heck, that shouldn't even be called a bug as it kind of is a feature I actually want.

That's factually incorrect ever since GrapheneOS started offering sandboxed play services. This makes it more secure on top of that. Both Calyx and MicroG have security issues that aren't present in GrapheneOS.

They should work if you install sandboxed play services from the built in app store.

I can't recommend this enough. Been using GrapheneOS for the past 3 years and been happy with it ever since. No issues whatsoever and works just as well as the stock OS. Granted, it has less features but I like the minimalist approach.
