That’s because H.265 is patent encumbered. Firefox doesn’t support H.265 at all and Chrome only supports it if the hardware does. In order to support accepting H.265 input from streamers, Twitch would basically have to pony up the compute resources for full-res realtime transcoding for every H.265 stream to H.264 – either that or put up with a lot of bad press surrounding people not being able to stream at full res anymore.

AVincentInSpace,

you forgot the part where Steve Harvey, in the anguished tones of a man who has crossed hell and is delivering one final message, screams to the stage directors

"THE PENIS"

Nobody apart from the guy I’m replying to, of course.

And everyone who downvoted my comment.

And for the record we’ve been voting. We’ve been protesting. We’ve been trying to get the rules changed and we’re getting stonewalled by the 50% of the population who only listen to media that makes up reasons for them to hate things that would be good for the masses because it would be bad for a few people at the top and I’m sick to fucking death of people making fun of us for not trying hard enough and treating actual dying children as some sort of own.

AVincentInSpace,

I would say this but 9/11 happened while my mom was pregnant so

but the X is a Roman numeral hence why Apple demands that OSX be pronounced as “OS ten”

(I have not heard anyone who is not an Apple employee call it that but it’s the official stance, you can look it up)

Ext4 is a filesystem. That is the part of the kernel that actually stores and retrieves the files on disk. What program are you using to browse files? It’s a bit hard to tell from this screenshot what program it’s a screenshot of, but it looks like Nautilus (the default file browser in GNOME). Is that it?

AVincentInSpace,

It occurs to me that sendmsg() is already kind of a standard, and the problem of drop in replacements could be solved by just making the replacement bind to the same file path and emulate the same protocol, and the problem of automatically starting the daemon could be handled by a systemd socket (or even inetd if you wanna go old school). The only advantage that I can see dbus really having over Unix sockets is allowing multiple programs to respond to the same message, which is a definite advantage but AFAIK not many things take advantage of that.

AVincentInSpace, (edited )

…and why is that…better?

Programs still have to be written to accommodate the specific protocol that the program on the other end speaks, and dbus paths could translate pretty directly to subdirectories of /run. All adding dbus in the middle does is add a daemon where there doesn’t need to be one and force the programs to talk to each other through that rather than directly to each other

AVincentInSpace,

Because we came here from Reddit, and the Reddit hive mind has been stuck in the gutter for as long as anyone can remember

but…but new feature shiny

Fr tho this is all excellent advice

AVincentInSpace,

do you have a link?

“See we should all just come together and agree to believe what I believe. You should just accept that sometimes you’re wrong, even though I haven’t presented any evidence. If we agreed, we wouldn’t be fighting; therefore the charitable thing for you to do is to cause us to agree by changing your opinion to match mine”

AVincentInSpace,

Companies pay big bucks for timed exclusivity though. If reverse timeshifting was legal, movie theaters would go bankrupt. I feel like this wouldn’t hold up.

AVincentInSpace,

Well said. I’m saving this comment in case I need to explain this to someone else.

AVincentInSpace,

man I WISH I spontaneously turned into a unicorn every time I shed a tear

AVincentInSpace,

fuckers stole my legs

cant have shit in detroit

AVincentInSpace,

I do not know how to explain to you that there can be no compromise between someone who wants to do or be a thing and a person who wants to make doing/being that thing illegal

^^^^actually when you poisoned the water supply we discovered that the city’s pipe infrastructure is really severely outdated, so thank you for bringing that to our attention to that. milliomns of people have gotten really sick over the last few years.

secondly becausw you snuck past the security cameras so easily, we discovered that the funds for that security system were being embezzled by government officials, so you busted a major fraud ring.

and lastly the pathogen you unleashed does give people mild diharrea, but we found it’s also a great source of vitamin C which recent studies show residents have not been getting enough of. it’s also an effective probiotic that helps people fight off a particularly nasty virus that we’ve been trying to keep a handle on for some time now without much success. really can’t thank you enough

^(lest you get weirded out)^

AVincentInSpace,

Who do you mean

AVincentInSpace,

Firefox will occasionally act up if it’s updated in the background while it’s running. It detects this pretty quickly though and prompts you tobrestart thr browser when you open a new tab. That’s just about the only app I’ve had issues with though.

AVincentInSpace,

Would you like to try?

AVincentInSpace,

Lemme get this straight. Microsoft successfully got a patent for a feature that KDE had before Windows did?
