  • And you Musk fanboys

    No Musk fanboy would claim “evil’s advocate” arguing for him then acknowledge him as a dickhead. What’s with the black and white thinking?

    every reporting journalist

    The first few: alr, what repost bot is trending on Xitter… Yup, gonna turn this one into an entire ass article.
    The next ones: alr, what are the other people writing about… Yup, would benefit from more coverage.

    whole unedited crash video

    I require source. I don’t use Xitter.


  • Yes, a few times. I have exactly 60 “.kdenlive” files in my “videos” dir. That editor itself sucks, but seems your does harder.

    Can’t demo much as most of these are aimed at very niche communities (ranging from 1k people to 4 person groupchat with only 1 person who cares), and some are also a bit problematic in content. As you could have guessed, it’s meme stuff, so quite image heavy.

    some examples that I am comfortable with sharing

    Now, what are you defining as “functionality”?



  • AVIF has a lossless mode. Although nobody cares for it, the slightly lossy is fine. It’s adjustable just like JPEG is adjustable.

    Also, it’s really annoying to convert since ffmpeg can’t do it yet, but the two major browsers support AV1 video, with alpha, in a .avif that you can shove into an <img> tag. It’s basically just a video. But animated. And transparent. It also works on Discord web now (but not mobile). AND you can set repetition count, if you really want. Can’t show the masterpiece I’ve made before with that since it would be way out of topic, although here’s an HD example with the animation from here:

    demo

    Ironically, the creators of the damn browser didn’t know that it’s possible and used a .webm. Well, the bourgeoisie division of the organization that makes the browser, of course. The @redhat.com emails, lol. Also, the metadata for the .webm says “ezgif”. Oh welp. And yes, the greenscreen leaking at the edges was already there.

    Command (bourne shell): ffmpeg -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i pop-up-1480.webm -strict -1 -f yuv4mpegpipe -pix_fmt yuva444p - | avifenc --stdin pop-up-1480.avif (-c:v needed to get ffmpeg to read the transparency).

    File size:

    .webm: 540KiB
    .avif: 486KiB
    .gif: 6.2MiB

    GIF command used for comparison: gifski pop-up-1480.webm -H 832 -r 33.3333333333333333333333 -Q 100 --extra -o pop-up-1480.gif, 100% to match original quality somewhat

    spoiler

    It also supports HDR. In year 2060, when the @redhat.com people finally get HDR out for everyone, we will have lazer eye “”“gifs”“”

    spoiler spoiler

    Users of custom clients and netsurf (via custom frontend) and such will be complaining about this just like about OP’s repost is complaining about WebP.



  • Arduino

    STOP USING BRAND NAMES, I am TIRED of seeing it.

    It’s not “Arduino”, it’s “microcontroller”. STM32 “blue pill” compatible clones are cheap enough to give away in bulk. You don’t even have to consider going 8 bit anymore.

    It’s not “Raspberry Pi”, it’s “single board computer”. Although dtb overlays and such are slightly more annoying on other boards, there’s literally not much of any difference functionality wise. AND the other boards are cheaper.

    There’s no reason to use the big brands. Unless you are working for someone and your boss demands “enterprise support” Red Hat style, of course.






  • Playing devil’s advocate by devil’s adversary.

    Modern day Mark Rober is just kids content farming nowadays, trying to “compete with Mr. Beast”.

    I saw that specific video. And I’ve also gotten driven around in a Tesla before. In the video, there was no autopilot icon in the interior footage for before getting hit. That’s it. It was just disengaged. If it turned itself off, it would be yelling to take over with a blue/red “glow” effect over the dashboard.
