I’m bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
Windows used to have a similar hidden feature that my friend used all the time to tracking his work projects, but they removed it some time ago.
This is a good idea. It could even be later expanded to a sort of “digital wellbeing” type use case with time limits or reminders on certain apps, etc…
Do you want only 2 devices of the 10 your family possibly owns to work?
Do you want your family to complain that jellyfin “isn’t as good as Netflix/Disney+/etc…” Because it constantly stops to buffer and a can’t keep up the framerate?
It is completely fine if you are single and have 1-2 devices that work with AV1 and h.265 client side and that is all you need, then you don’t have to bother with transcoding at all. When you start letting other people into it, compatibility becomes an issue.
As for storing it beforehand, the entire point of AV1 and HEVC is to significantly reduce the size on disk. If you have to store 10 versions or each file, 5 resolutions each, half h.264, then you are taking up about 20x the space per file compared to 1 copy of HEVC or AV1.
A transcode GPU like the A380 or new QSV compatible CPU is MUCH cheaper than a new good quality 12TB drive lol
Sorry for the long text, it pretty much depends on the living situation.
The US (mostly the trending fascist party) does whatever possible to make sure the least amount of people possible get the opportunity to vote and for the people who do vote, make sure their vote does not count as much as possible. It also varies per state.
not giving out a national identification card, but then requiring an identification card to vote
reducing the amount of voting centers every year in areas like major cities that vote more left so that the people would have to travel an hour or more to vote and without a car, it is almost impossible
Voting is not a public holiday and many states do not allow voting by mail. Combined with the before point removes many poor people’s ability to vote at all
there is a right wing effort to remove as many left leaning votors as possible from registration for minor errors
Armed party members at elections recently to intimidate voters, especially if they “look like the left demographic”
the “electoral college” which can just decide to not cast the vote that actually decides elections for the candidates that the citizens voted for
It is really batshit crazy over there. It seems like the right gets away with all of this crazy stuff and then when the left is back in power, almost nothing is done to change it back with regards to voting.
That would be nice because their current 2 years of support is pitiful. It was on the dot too. no support for my 5 ii at all after exactly 2 years after launch…
I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys
Ah, so then I assume you are posting this from a government building or prison after being the head of an armed resistance? No?
Oh you are just a basement-dweller who shitposts online to feel morally superior while enjoying the luxury that you hate so much? Imagine that, a hypocrite.
Are you aware that you, personally, are spreading white supremacist ideals and doing absolutely nothing about it besides trashing the others in the working class to feel better about yourself?
Because there is no need for now compared to cost and efficiency.
Decoding - yes and I believe the last gen has that because streaming services are switching to AV1. However, only creators really would stream and make use of the encoding features.
While that is true. Everyone seems to let perfection be the enemy of improvement. If the portrayal of anything different isn’t a utopia, people will scoff at it and say that it isn’t worth it, even if it is lightyears ahead of the current shit system.
First you have to go to the online updater and update all of your configuration files, core files, assets, everything and restart, but then you can simply go to the online updater and download any emulator core for any system.
I am playing on MelonDS which requires one fix to use the touchscreen in-game:
Core options -> screen -> change first option to Touch.
Also for pokemon specifically to have save filed work properly, you have to download a nintendoDS BIOS blob and put it in one of your retroarch folders. There are guides on that.
A little bit of configuration, bit you essentially have every single open source emulator in one app.
The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models. Is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission....
But that has absolutely nothing to do with how the mechanism works lol. Of course they are trying to eliminate data scraping, that is the whole controversy
Possibly has to do with status as pretty much since forever, university schooling has been a separator of middle class and “elite” (culturally) even though it has been made to be accessible by most people. At least one possible theory.

But there is a HUGE difference between living a healthy, active, and fulfilling life and holding a public office deciding extremely sensitive and important things that will decide the outcome of someone’s life or the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
What if 50% of people above a certain age have a mental of physical disability(example), then would an age limit be justified? There are probably more 25-30 year olds than 70-80 year olds that are mentally and intellectually sound enough to hold office.
There is no such thing as a “read-only connector.” Electrical signals can go down a wire both ways. It is up to the manufacturer of the chip to decide what pins are read and write, which is up to the governing body to regulate and restrict.
Not to mention that we are 10-20 years out from that kind of tech as development has been drastically slowing down in general. The best we can do as humans so far with the funds we put into this is stimulate general areas with current pulses to essentially cover up or stimulate the area’s nervous response to relieve pain. We can’t even accurately measure brain signals yet with fine enough detail to do much more than control a direction. Though that is coming along better.
The other applications close to this are for controlling muscles for sleep apnea, limb motor skills, heart muscles, etc… and are even “easier” to control.
If the tech becomes available to effect the video and audio brain receptors directly and is owned by corporations, you can bet your sweet ass they will make everything read/write and blast that thing so full of ads and harvest every bit of data they can to make a profit.

The “best” setup (simplest to maintain, not to set up), is using docker to host jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, lidarr, transmission with wireguard VPN, and prowlarr for all of your media needs. Jellyfin plays stuff, sonarr manages shows, radarr: movies, lidarr: music, prowlarr: your sources for said media. Transmission + wireguard VPN for the downloading.
But then you are getting into self hosting stuff which opens up a whole good, but time consuming rabbit hole
Glassdoor has been here for years and is one of the reference sites to evaluate and review companies, specifically their work conditions in general and salary ranges in particular. Glassdoor also operates a job board, but it doesn’t enjoy the same reputation as it’s company review service....
I have gotten a job through glassdoor. My first actually.
It’s just a job posting site and most tech jobs go through an internal portal anyway.
90% of any “easyapply” services on any job finding platform will do nothing at all
As far as a company reviewer, it is a shitshow. I was looking for a job last year, tons of 2-4 star companies with fully mixed/negative feedback I was browsing again a few weeks ago and a lot of those companies have positions open. Almost every one of them were now “unreviewed” companies with 0 reviews. All of those reviews were purged.
There are no companies (that I have been coming across in my field) in my country now that have below 3.5 stars. A company that I KNOW had 2.5 stars when I was looking for a job 2 years ago. They are a contracting company with a lot of temporary employees, mediocre salary, no progression, etc… All of the sudden it is 4 stars now.
Not to mention that now in the app, clicking the “rating” tab no longer brings up company rating and reviews. It brings up the exact same information page as the company puts as their “about us” with founded, size, headquarters, etc…
Glassdoor is not a company review site anymore. It is a mediocre job posting board.
“Regulators invited public comment on whether the US broadcast license for Fox Corp.’s TV station in Philadelphia should be renewed after a grassroots organization asked that it be denied, saying Fox knowingly broadcast false news about the 2020 election.”
When anything bad is introduced, 90% of the time the dates and data will point to The Reagan Administration. Truly the downfall of politics, environmentalism, and representation of the citizens in america.

Because constantly, throughout the entirety of the corporate controlled internet era we are now in, and I mean constantly as in it is hard to find an exception, anonymous data collection has at some point in the future turned into non-anonymous data collection to sell to data brokers.
Hell, there are a staggering.number of services being caught with ignoring opt-out preferences even and non-anonymously tracking users via identification numbers.
The problem I have with it is that eventually, every single closed source “anonymous” consumer telemetry will eventually become de-anonymized and almost always sold. If any capitalist company sees a cash cow that they aren’t milking, shareholders or rich owners will demand that it be milked.
I would struggle to find a case where it hasn’t happened with any popular software
