authorinthedark,

rare W on the misinformation front for YouTube and Twitter, obviously not all platform misinformation is in ads but I’ll take what i can get

authorinthedark,

ain’t nothing but a heartache

authorinthedark,

mine is also my mom’s homemade strawberry jam, though her peach jam is a close second

guy who has only seen south african expats, watching his second emigration: getting a lot of “south african expat” vibes from this

authorinthedark,

asking for forgiveness rather than permission sorta just seems to be their policy these days, yeah?

authorinthedark,

only if you count general aviation, commercial airlines crash less than once a month. OP is clearly just an agent of Big Blimp trying to destroy the reputation of the honorable aviation industry

authorinthedark,

it looks like he didn’t just change his registration but actually held office as a Democrat in the past

authorinthedark,

Is there a song for the battle between Sabaton hater and Sabaton thread?

Secret Project now availablr on Kindle and Audible

Good ol BrandoSando has screwed the community again. First, he announces the secret project and promises us new stories. Then, he “boycotts” amazon with JUST THESE COMMUNITY FUNDED STORIES. Now, he’s making money on books we bought without letting us utilize the accessibility features we’ve come to expect from his other...

authorinthedark,

i thought there were some errors with Kindle that got fixed, but it wasn’t an intentional delay

authorinthedark, (edited )

Kindle is definitely not withheld, i have it as part of my backerkit reward with no additional purchase

EDIT: also why do you keep putting boycott in quotation marks? he explicitly stated the problems that he had with audibles platform, they backed down on them specifically because of his boycott, and he didn’t put the books on audible until after they made the change. that’s not a fake boycott that’s an effective one

authorinthedark,

not deliberately misleading just not sure i understand what the big deal is between imported and native. i remember there being some formatting issues at launch and so they fixed those and made an epub specifically for Kindle to handle those issues. what accessibility features are missing with imported files?

authorinthedark,

I’m sorry to hear about all that, that sounds like a really frustrating experience

authorinthedark,

can somebody explain what the Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated plot has to do with this post

authorinthedark,

huh, thanks!

authorinthedark,

isn’t there only one, and she’s the last of her kind because the two males killed each other in the first mating season? maybe a different book in the series

authorinthedark,

ah wonderful. Thanks brain that’s what i pay you the big bucks to remember from high school

Interactive Loading Screens - High Hell

Developing interactivity is effort and an investment. Most developers put up a simple loading screen, maybe some text like rotating tips, and a loading indicator. Until 2015 a patent on interactive loading screens may have made developers and publishers cautious and decide against developing interactivity....

authorinthedark,

the worst kind of interactive loading screen is one that is fun on a game that loads quickly.

This is of course a problem that should only be complained about and never fixed, please don’t make your game load slower just so that i have enough time to press buttons

oh hey I’ve actually done this recently so a lot of this is fresh for me. Now I had a slightly different use case than you, I had a bunch of AV1 files that wouldn’t run on my pi so I had to convert them to something less GPU intensive. I was finding x265 was indistinguishable for me from AV1, and had a HUGE file size drop, close to a half or even a third. x264 had a larger file size than 265 and looked worse so I don’t recommend it. I did not try VP9 once I was satisfied with 265 but you could try it out and see how it compares. My recommendation is to pick one (shorter) file and run a couple of different transforms on it till you’re satisfied before trying to transform your entire library

Preserving audio and metadata is trivial, just use -c:a copy for audio and -c:d copy for metadata

EDIT: I feel dishonest not mentioning the important caveats regarding my own experiments. My files were 1080p, so the difference between codecs might be less noticeable at that resolution. It was also anime, which is similarly going to be easier to compress and be less distinct between codecs. This is why I cannot recommend x264 because if you can ruin 1080p anime it’ll ruin whatever you’re working with. This is why I recommend picking a sample video and spend a day running a couple test transformations on it to see what you like

authorinthedark,

I’m sorry my subtitles worked fine from the beginning so I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve got a pi4 running osmc as my media center if that makes any difference.

Stupid question about tenno gen items

So I’ve begun the downward spiral into fashionframe after accidentally opening the cosmetic menu. Terrible jokes aside I have had my eye on some tenno gen items and I see that their not shared crossplatform. I do occasionally play on my switch (such as my lunch break at work) and my phone (usually just claiming extractors and...

authorinthedark,

switch is actually the weird one here. Switch has its own platinum, pc mobile and all the others consoles should have shared plat

authorinthedark,

are we sure that none apply in this case? which BTS members still have upcoming birthdays that they could die before

authorinthedark,

no <3

authorinthedark,

so to find your partner in a crowd while wearing a blindfold all you’d have to do is take your pants off?

authorinthedark,

that’s just what a bot would say

authorinthedark,
