  • It's misleading on the people Twitter sub. Fake Wikipedia articles hard to distinguish would be misleading on a Wikipedia sub

  • I like chewing gum and won't stop eating it

  • Will it just download a higher resolution video, drop every other pixel, and display the rest?

    Yes, just like it can show a 1080p video not in fullscreen :)

  • I sit quite close to a large 1080p monitor. That's why I notice when the bitrate is low and the video I am seeing lacks true 1080*720 pixels. Basically it's compressed so much, that the image is noticeably worse than an image my monitor could display. That's why when I use a higher pixel count compression, like 1440p, the compression problems don't show as bad on the screen that will only show 1080p pixels anyways. That's what I am talking about. On a phone or a laptop screen it will probably be less noticeable. I guess that's why Youtube does it, it probably saves them a huge amount of bandwidth and people who want really good quality video might already have 4k displays which then get a way higher bitrate video feed anyways.

    I guess the 1080p monitor size starts to be a niche. More and more people using it are on smartphones I guess so it really makes sense to have a very low bitrate.

  • I was just guessing the higher CPU usage. You're probably right that it doesn't matter

  • This is what happens when you think the state and the wealthy are distinct.

    They absolutely are.

    The rich influence almost all politics, but the state and ultra wealthy have to follow totally different rules to achieve their goals. Sometimes the ultra rich are politicians, then it's complicated.

  • I mean yt is where the people are so I think it's fair to go there if you want to spread your message

  • I understand the Ukrainians mistrust.

  • Who guarantees that they get peace in return?

  • It's not censorship, censorship is when the state censors certain topics etc.

    This is rich owners of large, easy to use and free social media websites trying to shape the conversation.

  • They're not winning. They're trying to prevent the worst.

  • How is this an escalation? It's just one murder.

  • You know that these doctors weren't touting violence, they were talking about the crazy situations which they found themselves in with healthcare insurances.

  • Haha I am German (living in Germany as well, not some kind of US american that says they're German). But thanks I guess

  • Relax different communities and servers want to have different styles of moderation. That is good.
