  • Ah, yes, that's correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won't play.

  • Huh, there's a term for that? TIL

    Y'know, there's a similar one used in the gemstone industry: "eye clean," which only applies if the stone has no inclusions (artifacts) that can be seen with the naked eye. As you can imagine, it's usually a pretty desirable trait, especially in diamonds. It doesn't really matter if there's random garbage floating around in it, it just has to be undetectable to our human eyes.

  • I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It'll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.

    Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it's pretty widely supported.

  • Mod was enforcing unwritten rules and deleting posts mentioning it, so the regulars moved to Ten Forward: https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward. Pardon the mess, we're at the tail end (I think) of a 24-hour spree on name puns. It's not usually like this.

    Okay, I lied, it's always this weird.

  • The 10F Mastodon instance? Not for Lemmy users, as far as I know. Kbin users do have access to Mastodon content (it's in the "microblog" section over here), but I'm not sure how to get to the Mastodon instance of Ten Forward specifically. Looks like that instance is private, that's probably why.

  • While technically true, one of the two Ten Forwards you're referring to is a Mastodon instance and is nothing like Lemmy.

  • There's a mysterious new respiratory illness infecting dogs in the U.S. It's contagious and is killing some of the infected dogs. I can't find any updates, dunno if it's still a thing or if it died out since November.

  • It's -5°F over here in Chicago, supposed to hit a high of 2°F later today. Wife and I are working from home, so we're both ok. We care for a feral cat that spends the winter months in a wooden cat house with a bed and plug-in heating pad that my wife installed on the back deck a few years ago. I'm always worried about that cat, she's getting older and isn't as spry as she used to be.

    In about six, seven months it's gonna be 100° warmer, which is wild to me.

  • My cat does this, only she faces the other way and hugs my paws with her feet. Best feeling in the world, our little pets help make it a happy home.

    Kitty on my feet, in front of the tv!

  • plays music when you flush

    Please tell me this is something you can customize. I didn't realize until now that I need a toilet that plays John Williams' "Olympic Fanfare" when I take a dump.

  • Nope, that's Ten Forward leaking there.

  • From what I've seen, I sincerely think you'll like it at Beehaw. They're an ok bunch of progressive folks who refuse to let it become a nazi bar. I can get behind that. Have fun!
