Poutine is great!

As a DNS engineer - do you own a shirt with the slogan “It’s always DNS.” on it?

Über eine App wirds noch gehen.

Could be both. You can enforce it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/activate-reader-view/

In my homelab I have Debian VMs originally set up with Debian 6 in 2011 which were upgraded another 6 major releases to now Debian 12 over the years. When I think about Debian I always get a very warm cozy feeling.

Since it has to happen in windows safe mode it seems to be very hard to automate the process. I haven’t seen a solution yet.

It is annoying. Some possible solutions:

On desktop: Using Shift + ALT you often can overrule this and select text anyway.

On mobile: Using the reader mode or the Print preview often works. It does for me on this website.

Gandalf, hast du gerade auf nen 2 Monate alten Beitrag von mir geantwortet? :)

I didnt argue anything like that. I earlier suspected that you were just playing dumb. Maybe what I actually argued really was too much to process.

And you’re saying there’s no difference between playing Black Mesa today vs playing Half life today, and therefore he might as well start out with Black Mesa? Or what is the meaning of your reply?

Hard disagree. Games like Half life have a huge historical value for their impact. Playing the original is worth it. Especially if one takes the medium itself seriously. You wouldn’t say an original movie and a 22 years younger remake are “the same”, right? I think you’re playing dumb with me.

Love the Wikipedia link btw. I’ve played Black Mesa in its early access phase already and then later on again when they released Xen.

You are saying the third party remake in another engine from 2020 is the same as the original from 1998?

If he never played the original I think it’s good he starts with it. Black Mess is great, but the original Half Life has a certain historical value (and is still a great game).

Thank you everyone!

Ich bin inzwischen umgezogen. Habe nen Moment erwischt wo wie Seite mal kurz funktionierte und dann die Export-Funktion in den settings genutzt.

Ich finde es klasse, das Leute bereit sind in ihrer freien Zeit mit eigenem Geld sowas wie feddit zu betreiben. Aber dann kann man halt nicht gleichzeitig nen halbes Jahr weg und unerreichbar sein. Das passt halt nicht zusammen. Man muss zumindest vorher klären, wer übernehmen könnte.

So ist es vermutlich ziemlich schädlich für die deutsche Fediverse Community. Der erste Eindruck und so.

I don’t understand what argument you are trying to make. Can you elaborate? You mean we shouldn’t do it because there might be a counterreaction?

That’s a good thing imo. We do this so we can build up an industry for these things at home. That’s an important long term goal, too. If the last years have shown us anything it’s that being solely dependent on another state for certain critical stuff is a bad idea. And I’d say this is especially true for China.

Edit: btw German talking here, not American.

YouTube makes its money with ads. The more videos a user can watch the more ads YouTube can deliver to the user. Close to 90% (!!!) of all YouTube traffic comes from mobile devices. Therefore it is in YouTubes own interest to allow its users to watch as many videos as possible.

You can be sure that big CDNs will still provide hw-decodeable streams to mobile devices, despite google now offering a performant software decoder on Android. For the same reason twitch not only introduced AV1, but at the same time HEVC as new codec (since HEVC now has broad hw-decode support among mobile devices, unlike AV1).

Funfact: YouTube’s AV1 streams are often considerably larger than the VP9 variant. They are not opting for bandwidth savings currently.

The integration of software decoding is mainly meant as a fallback. As AV1 will become more widespread you will run into cases where there will only be an AV1 encoded version of a video. Not on big platforms like YouTube, but smaller sites. Think the embedded clip in a Wordpress blog or something like that.

Having said that, dav1d is a very very performant software decoder and its impact on battery life is often negligent for the average user.
