If a game is on GOG, I'd rather buy it there than on steam. Steam is great and they do a lot of great stuff, but you don't own the game if you buy it through steam.

What's up with Norway? I've yet to encounter anyone else using Linux up here, outside of engineering students testing it out.

A navy is used to protect trade. It's especially important in that region too.

High import taxes, as with everything else in Norway. EVs were exempt from a lot of the taxes, which is partly why they got popular.

The world went crazy after 2016. The mayans were only off by 4 years.

05:15-06:45 while I'm at the gym, quickly followed up by the worst part of the day, shower and breakfast.

Xanathar is a beholder crime lord in Waterdeep/forgotten realms.

Frankly, for anything other than real-time encoding, I don't actually consider encoding time to be a huge deal. None of my encodes were slower than 3fps on my 5800x3d, which is plenty for running on my media server as overnight job. For real-time encoding, I would just grab a Intel Arc card, and redo the whole thing since the bitrates will be different anyways.

Encoding speed heavily depends on your preset. Veryslow will give you better compression than medium or fast, but at a heavy expense of encoding speed. You're not gonna re-encode a movie overnight on slow preset. GPU encoding will also give you worse result than CPU encode so that's something one would have to take into consideration. It's not a big deal when you're streaming, but if it's for video files, I'd much prefer using the CPU.

I consider the 'good enough' level to be, if I didn't pixel peep, I couldn't tell the difference. The visually lossless levels were the first crf levels where I couldn't tell a quality difference even when pixel peeping with imgsli. I also included VAMF results, which say that the quality loss levels are all the same at a pixel level.

I was mostly talking about how you organised your table by using CRF values as the rows. It implies that one should compare the results in each row, however that wouldn't be a comparison that makes much sense. E.g. looking at row "24" one might think that av1 is less effective than h264/5 due to greater file size, but the video quality is vastly different. A more "informative" way to present the data might have been to organise each row by their vmaf score.

Hopefully I don't come across as too cross or argumentative, just want to give some feedback on how to present the data in clearer way for people who aren't familiar with how encoding works.

According to wikipedia 31 states in the US put age of consent at 16.

And in Europe Wikipedia says "only four countries, Cyprus (17), the Republic of Ireland (17), Turkey (18), and the Vatican City (18), set an age of consent higher than 16.". Which would account for more than 600 million people.

From a western point of view it's pretty normal. You'll still get weird look if you're 20+ and dating a 16 year old, but that's besides the point we're arguing.

Feels like certain information is missing. You get very different results both in encoding time and file size depending what preset you use.

CRF value also can't be translated 1:1 between codecs so comparing e.g. h265 CRF 21 to h264 CRF 21 doesn't mean much.

Meanwhile in Norway every citizen can look up any other person's tax returns. Income and fortune all neatly presented on a government website.

16 is pretty normal in both the US and Europe

It's one of the main differentiators between instances. If you want no filters, you can make your own instance or see if you can find one with a "zero defederation" policy.

E.g. if you don't want to see a bunch of political propaganda or CSAM, and are into programming, programming.dev comes "pre configured" for that. Likewise lemmy.world, blahaj, etc... comes with their own flavour and configuration.

🤷‍♂️

Instances will come and go.

I would like to hear more about what the limitations of ActivityPub are that you feel justifies taking away all the federated lemmy content from your users though.

Speaking as an admin, the only thing I view as my responsibility is removing spam/scams and making sure the instance is running and improving. Taking away/moderating what our users can see is something we want to avoid as much as possible (as long as it doesn't break instance rules of course), so what your team is discussing sounds quite radical.

I'll echo OP and say that if you haven't tried Black Mesa, I highly recommend it. The xen intro is breathtaking in my opinion.

Randomness is lumpy as one mathematician put it.

I keep seeing ads of AI generated Roger Federer being arrested. It's in German (VPN) so I have no idea what it's all about.

Why post this in c/news if you don't even think yourself that it's worthy news?

It's not just about wage. You could have great pay but terrible working conditions will discourage pilots from applying.

Never heard my retired uncle say a single good thing about his work as a captain for a commercial airline. Cheap tickets comes at a price.
