the_third, to linuxmemes in Everyone loves snaps

Package format by Canonical that sandboxes applications and packs them up including all their dependencies. Server side is closed source, thus you can’t implement a local mirror or your own snap store. Many applications are currently sandboxed in a way that makes using them cumbersome, e.g. when your home is on an NFS share.

A PhD is something that you pour a lot of time in so you can tell most people “nah, just the_third, that’s fine” and a few select people “That’s Dr. the_third to you.”

the_third, (edited ) to piracy in Has anybody seen any of The Creator rips?

Works fine for me. One has to take care not to overdo it, so the enconding filter sticks to erase noise and doesn’t start to remove fine details. I usually iterate over steps of five for the setting in FFmpeg/SVTAV1 on a 10 second sample of the source to find the best setting.

The player will then reproduce the noise pattern the encoder has identified during playback.

AV1 and film-grain synthesis solves this.

I mean, who would have thought 10 years ago that this would one day be a valid reason to switch away from the OS with the biggest marketshare. Weird times.

the_third, to comicstrips in Why have you excluded me?!

Have dog, can confirm it is awesome given the right circumstances.

the_third, to memes in The old dilemma

Oh, spicy depression. Is that the exciting variant? If so, would you recommend over vanilla why-should-I-get-up-for-any-not-immediately-lifesaving-task depression?

the_third, to memes in literally no clue

Yeah, but they really can’t digest grass.

Rats do not live off grass. If you have them, there’s some sort of food source on your or your neighbors property.

the_third, to memes in Don't be fooled Billy, it's not really a job, more of a parasitic relationship

I’ve calculated if it would pay off to build a house with four units on a piece of land that I already have. It would barely pay for itself after 30 years but let’s be honest, 30 years is when the first big renovations are in order. I’m not sure if the “landlords are rich leeches” - trope holds up outside expensive cities with inherited properties.

Sounds like a dangerous game, it assumes that property always appreciates value faster than inflation progresses.

the_third, to asklemmy in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

I always tell them “Following that logic, there’s only one person in the world that can complain. But that dude really got it bad.”

the_third, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

It does pay interest though. Go to the doc for a yearly checkup, e.g., even if it is annoying to cram into the calendar.

the_third, to asklemmy in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

Short comment because mobile: You’ve described a thing I’ve been thinking about and grasping to get back since maybe two or three years. Thank you.
