  • Hey, easy there.

    They also don’t give a shit about the genocide of Mexicans in America either.

    I wouldn’t normally consider antisemitism, but maybe that’s why they only care about Palestinians and literally nobody else. Or maybe it’s just their own special version of racism.

    As a brown person in America they clearly don’t care about genocide here.

    Maybe it’s like champagne, it’s only genocide when in the genocide region of Israel, when Russia does it it’s just sparkling ethnic cleansing.








  • Google is pushing av1 because of patents, but 266 is just plain better tech, even if it’s harder to encode.

    This same shit happened with 265 and vp9, and before that, and before that with vorbis/opus/aac.

    They’ll come back because it’s a standard, and has higher quality.

    Maybe this is the one time somehow av1 wins out on patents, but I’m encoding av1 and I’m really not impressed, it’s literally just dressed up hevc, maybe a 10% improvement max.

    I’ve seen vvc and it’s really flexible, it shifts gears on a dime between high motion and deep detail, which is basically what your brain sees most, while av1 is actually kind of worse than hevc at that to me, it’s sluggish at the shifts, even if it is better overall.











  • I lived in the south, man, I lived in most of the country, but the South… I do not see any hope for redemption there whatsoever.

    100 years after losing the civil war they still had Jim Crow and the KKK, Hitler himself wrote about them as an inspiration in Mein Kampf, lynched returning black GIs, and even today they do everything they can to stop black people from voting, or minimizing the effect, when they aren’t just beating brown people for kicks. And they still consider themselves proud of their “Heritage”:

    Personally, it’s us or them now.

    Btw, the reason the south had a massive opioid epidemic? After the welfare reforms the 90s, they realized that meant white people welfare too, so they all applied for SSDI for “back pain” (came out of the SS budget which rich people didn’t care about), which came with free opioid pills they could sell for more money.

    Until we fix them, we’re doomed as a country.
