It’s literally him convincing someone to sell their house that they own outright to rent from them because it’s somehow much better (for him of course). It’s so fucking stupid.

We’re too dependent on a technology that we spent tens of billions of dollars researching and perfecting over decades of research!

Possibly the dumbest statement I’ve heard this week.

It’s the difference in OS version;

• 24.04 has ffmpeg_6.1.1-3ubuntu5
• 24.10 has ffmpeg_7.0.2-3ubuntu1

So if you want ffmpeg from main, upgrade to 24.10, otherwise you can only get ffmpeg in 24.04 by waiting until its added to main, using Ubuntu Pro, or compiling from source.

They won’t. We elected Trump not once, but twice. His first term was a giant walking ethics violation and we still reelected him. No one learned. Not one single person.

Wow. Crazy. It’s almost like the Android OS, the feature, and the Map application are all developed by the same company… Insane. /s

Well that’s shit.

Where did that I say that it was though? I posted it as an alternative. Not once did I say or even hint that it was ready… You’re going to great lengths to put words in my mouth on a public forum where anyone can see what’s been written. It’s very bizarre.

I mean, what’s “ready” mean in this context? Voice and video are still being worked on. They’re going for maximum compatibility so they have to reverse engineer the way Discord does things, so it’s taking a while.

It’s never not worked, but they’re running sponsored links now. I’ve hit them 3 times today out of maybe 50 searches. But they’re there.

I noticed today that UDM mode for Google is displaying sponsored results now, too…

Bulk honey is significantly less expensive if you buy direct from an apiary, and in bulk. It never expires (but can go bad! you still have to store it properly) and will last longer than you if you treat it good.

Go for it. The price of honey is bound to just go up.

Supreme Court torn on whether or not the federal government is required to follow through with legally binding contracts to pay people for work they’ve already done

Fuckin’ clowncar.

Same. I used Reddit for 12 years. Got perma-banned last year for saying things about Israel that people didn’t like, I guess.

Moved to lemmy.

I swapped from Make to Just: https://github.com/casey/just

Way better, IMO. Super simple logic, just as flexible.

Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable

I mean, that’s why you haven’t been hearing of them. I consider myself “hip” with the FOSS scene and this is the very first time I’ve ever even heard of Servo… So it is what it is. Once they release a stable client (hell, even a usable one), if they’re worth their salt, then they’ll be used. If they release soon they can ride the wave of people fleeing Firefox.

I absolutely love Libre/FOSS, but I don’t always have time to fuck around learning new ways to skin a cat. I’ll almost always recommend proprietary solutions if that’s what you’re used to. It just makes sense. 🤷‍♂️

Always use the tool that’s best for the job, and sometimes that’s hot steaming piles of closed source shit.

I feel that I was very clear. If you can’t derive the meaning of something despite being led directly to the end of the puzzle, then there’s nothing I’m gonna be able to do for you. Search your feelings, Luke.

Ahh yes. The ol’ “we downloaded it because it was BAD lol” move. Classic. /s

It amazes me that you don’t see how stupid what you just said was. It’s entirely possible to have a good game where people don’t want to support the developer/platform that it’s been released for. It’s totally fine. You can have two things at once. You can admit they make some good games. That doesn’t lessen the argument that they’re fuckin’ evil.
