  • I’m really not sure where I originally read it. I did some digging and I found some discussion about FLAC and patent trolls on a few forums, including the Talk page of the Wikipedia article, but I haven’t found anything concrete.

    It might be that the patent troll thing was just a rumor!

  • I think both work since opus is the codec but ogg is the container, but personally I’d probably go with .opus because it’s more descriptive.

    Btw Apple’s ALAC and AAC files are typically stored in an mp4 container but with the m4a extension to mark it as intended to be audio only (although it may have a video track, which usually is used for album art).

  • Yes they are no longer scared of the licensing enough most modern Apple devices do have at least some FLAC support.

    Also ALAC is a free and open source codec which also has wide support.

    And with a tool like FFMPEG you can easily convert between the two and they are both lossless so there is no data lost in the conversion.

    So really just use whichever you like it really doesn’t matter.

  • Sunshine captures the screen at whatever its native resolution is, and streams it to Moonlight at whatever resolution is requested by Moonlight.

    If you are trying to dynamically change the resolution things are rendered at, thats not going to be easy. Sunshine might not be the right tool.

  • I played through the entirety of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on my phone. That was a feature length PS2 game.

    Other feature length games with decent ports I know of:

    • Transistor
    • Bastion
    • Ace Attorney
    • Myst
    • Riven
    • Minecraft
    • Terraria
  • I actually saw these comments before they were deleted.

    It was a post listing a bunch of resources for trans people to use to digital protect themselves in light of the election. One example is it suggested Matrix instead of Discord.

    On the list it included a couple trans-friendly Lemmy instances. IIRC the 3 instances listed were from blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, and hexbear. A couple people commented that they liked the idea but didn’t like the inclusion of hexbear.

  • DLSS is extremely noticeable to me at stronger levels. I usually turn it on but keep it set to “quality” instead of “performance”. It’s still slightly noticeable but not that bad at that setting.

    Stronger DLSS just looks like blurry mush to me.

  • That depends on the specifics of the black hole you are falling into. It could be over in the blink of an eye, or it could be like one of those medieval torture machines. The main difference being the mass: a smaller black hole would kill you faster.

  • Imagine you are falling, but someone hooks something onto your feet, and attaches it to a rocket that shoots downwards at a speed far faster than you are falling at, so fast that it rips your legs off.

    That’s what spaghettification is. One part of your body is being pulled in so much harder than the other part of your body that it rips you apart.

  • My theory with a lot of these games that “released badly and then come back” is everyone who disliked the game stopped playing and everyone who liked it kept playing so the crowd playing years later had a positive opinion of it through self selection more than anything the devs did.

    I personally liked both Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky on release, and while they are better now, I don’t see the night-and-day difference the internet would make you think happened.

  • The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

    A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

    There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.
