I can't help but wonder if most other news organizations' corporate owners wouldn't want to legitimize the fediverse in anyway. It might loosen their deathgrip on the internet .
Good deal. Yeah I have few old movies or of circulation I downloaded in the 00's in 240p that seemed fine back then but on my monitor or TV now make it look like I'm watching it on a Lite Brite.
If you're doing it for preservation and data hoarding then it's probably worth it to redo it, but unless you're very picky odds are there isn't much difference depending on what you saved them as in Handbrake. If you plan on keeping the DVDs then I would watch a bit of one as it's then play a bit of the file and if you don't have a problem with the difference then I wouldn't worry about it too much. DVD is only 480 SD typically anyway. I'm not an expert though, just a fellow ripper of DVDs.
It's been many years, but I remember a small banner ad below the video and maybe one to the side. It was so reasonable though it's hard to remember for sure.
The degree in which corporations engage in psychological warfare against customers is astounding. Not surprising, just outrageous. Don't want notifications on? We're going to ask you to turn on notifications in the the program every single day until you do it. Don't want to watch ads because our infinite greed has destroyed what used to be a good platform with a reasonable number of ads before we bought it? Then we'll make the experience less pleasant until you comply. They already make multiple parts of YouTube disagree with ad blockers on purpose to break the sites features. Not that I use anything other than NewPipe and Piped anymore anyway. I'm just sick of shitty corporations acting like we're children who can be punished.
I came to the OnePlus bandwagon late and now I know why my experience was so substandard even though so many people had talked them up. I was looking at the Nothing Phone and beginning to consider it because I bought a Pixel I regret and now I think I'll just stick with the phone that's paid for because they all suck. I miss my BlackJack II, Sidekick, and even my G1.
This here, and honestly I would rather be prepared for the enshitification of streaming music because Capitalism will make it shitty everyone. Just like video streaming. Rarely if ever does a company say "That's enough money."
Don't forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.
They also make a great deal of money using people's user data to match them to pages that pay to promote and have their page shown to more people. It's 14 bucks to have a single post "boosted" for a page otherwise your posts will be held at the bottom of the algorithm.
I took a five year break for this reason. As I embraced being an artist it seemed the only way to know what is going on locally in my stupid medium-sized Texas town is Facebook. Even local government news was only on Facebook. So if I wanted to find calls for art locally to submit for galleries then I had to join. Luckily with two fences and uBlock Origin the only information they get is by logging any text I put in. It's a lot of work to try to maintain my privacy though and no official app ever. I use a couple container apps from F-Droid, but they barely work most of the time so it mostly has to be on Desktop. I've tried to get a few friends to switch to federated apps and they look at me the same way. Even my partner's casino job requires a Facebook account because if you want someone to take a shift for you it's the only way. Also any company news. It should be regulated as a utility.
They need to investigate him. There are images circulating of him harassing parents who spoke ill of him about the situation. Another board member was shown to be protesting the local pride problem that was held, yelling at children and taunting them.
I'm too tired for sex, but I have cookies.
