Generally the app is better. Compatible with more container formats, audio formats (surround sound, Dolby digital, etc), and has hardware supported decoding for h265 video in addition to h264.

At least in the case of a Jellyfin server, you can download media locally when you know you’ll be without internet

Lol, totally fair

This dude’s videos impress me to no end

I use Bazarr to find subtitles. You can set it to only find Forced or to find the regular track for your language of choice and Forced, and it’s trivial to set it to include the file itself in the search for subtitles so it’ll only download subtitles for videos that are missing the subtitles.

It’s also great because it can automatically sync the downloaded subtitles to the actual video’s audio, or the existing subtitle track if one exists (like if you just have the full subtitle track and want to sync the Forced track)

But they could keep those limits in place and crowdsource bandwidth capacity now using torrents of rompacks

Their initial point was that the name “The Great War” aged like milk because WWII was bigger, not that any people thought it was good

Those micro stutters and lower performance for the non-steam games are due to shaders needing to compile as you play. If you play for a while and keep the same Proton version, they’ll eventually go away and performance will improve.

I also found Beyond to be very Trek. Certainly the most Trek feeling of the newer movies.

No, cats do intend to show you their butthole. It’s the highest form of trust and respect a cat can give you. They’re basically saying, “I’m going to show you my weakest spot so you know there’s no secrets between us”

They’re gonna accept money from China in exchange for favorable trade deals.

Not sure this qualifies as insane. Seems more like a self-defense maneuver to me. People have harassed and stalked this man to an absurd degree over features they wanted and bugs that bothered them that in some cases only existed in forks like Swanstation.

This is on top of this guy working a full time job. He can do what he wants and give away free code to the world on whatever terms he sees fit.

Basically, he got too famous and entitled assholes started treating him like a public slave.

It sucks and I’m sad to see him turn the project away from a true FOSS license, but I’d rather he contribute public code than not.

Also 6x7 + 2x5

Is that Reinhard Von Musel?

Machine Learning tech has been around for decades. It just became sorta a little bit useful (outside of super specialized uses like photo post-processing or chess engines) around 2017 or so, and since then has exploded in capability, at a speed that the public is kind of incapable of comprehending.

It went from the approximate intelligence of a toddler to a smart high schooler in about 4.5 years, in the last 1.5 years it has nearly reached the level of a STEM PHD in several areas, if the latest whitepapers are to be trusted. And of course it’s been much faster than us at reading, interpreting context and summarizing information accurately for a couple years as well.

DeepMind cracked the Protein Folding problem, and that’s old news.

I honestly don’t think people are ready for how fast AI has been improving.

There are powered extensions, so one of those might work, but a hub is certainly a comparable price and a more compact solution

I am here for the MMO-ified explanation of economic systems.

You should read about (and check out the demos for) Q‐Tuners. They’re humbucker pickups based on Neodynium magnets that capture upper harmonics and detailed dynamic range that other pickups would muddy.

Pretty interesting stuff. It seems to me they need a bit more love from EQs and such to sound “right” through an amp compared to other pickups, but having a cleaner source signal definitely seems to capture something extra
