ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Depends on how the song is interpreted. The intention is probably “by the 𝑛ᵗʰ day of Christmas, my true love had given to me [list of 𝑛+(𝑛–1)+…1 items]” but the actual grammar means that by day 12, you’d have received 𝑛(13–𝑛) of the 𝑛ᵗʰ item, or

  • 12 drummers drumming
  • 22 pipers piping
  • 30 lords-a leaping
  • 36 ladies dancing
  • 40 maids a-milking
  • 42 swans a-swimming
  • 42 geese a-laying
  • 40 gold rings
  • 36 calling birds
  • 30 French hens
  • 22 turtle doves
  • 12 partriges in pear trees

Total is 184 birds. By day 7, only 69 birds, up 50 % from 46 by day 6. At least the number of received birds stays constant (23) on days 8-12. The geese technically-a-reproducing are not accounted for, as the eggs might not be fertilized and take several weeks to hatch.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

she’s banging

“coming from you 👸🏼”

Can someone explain why anyone would reply like that? I am not a native English speaker. I could understand “coming [to answer the door] for you, queen” but not anything “from you”.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Vieš o nejakej slovenskej inštácii alebo komunite? Občas pozerám českú inštáciu kyberpunk.social a mám tam aj komunitu !DeepWebCZ, ale kvôli obmedzenej federácii nie je veľa vhodná pre hlavný účet, aj keď má zo všetkých Lemmy serverov najkratšiu dobu odezvy.

Ahoj, bratře!

Vieš o nejakej slovenskej inštácii alebo komunite? Občas pozerám českú inštáciu kyberpunk.social, ta nie je ale vhodná pre hlavný účet, preto som na feddit.de, ktorá federuje s takmer všemi ostatnými a kde je odozva z Norimberka cca 25 ms.

In my country, squared paper notebooks are usually green, lined red and blank blue. It’s been like that for decades. So math is green.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

“Roughly”? The length of those things ranges over an entire order of magnitude.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Wow. Do you want to hear about other places where firearms are banned?

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Can you please explain the joke? Is the point just a wordplay on “being played”?

You’re not the first one to ask this and I’m tired so I’ll just slightly edit my other comment. Only read bold parts if you’ve read that one.

where it makes sense

Firefox has a built-in function that checks if the extractable text from the website is “acceptable” and will decide whether to display the button. I don’t think the result of this function is available to extensions but you should ask Firefox devs, maybe add an enhancement request.

You can trigger it everywhere using


<span style="color:#323232;">about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2F[...]
</span>

You can use another trick: bookmark about:reader?url=%s and add read as its keyword (only in Properties window, separate from “tags”). Then put read␣ in front of any URL you want to view with Reader Mode!

There is also an extension called ☈ , which can do this for you automatically. However, it is rather clunky: you must create a Regex pattern to match URLs that you want to be affected, and you’ll need to temporarily disable the extension to exit Reader Mode.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

This is controversial but will I be able to map right click to erase or another tool/brush preset/color? It just feels wrong to keep switchimg with N and Shift+E while making pixel art.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I hate when computer scientists use “sorting” for “ordering”. It’s been mistranslated into other languages, too.

It is possible from a technical standpoint (look up libdvd or MakeMKV) but it might not be worth it for some titles. Here are some considerations:

  • ➖ Pressed DVDs, as opposed to DVD±R(W)s, last very long and do not take up too much physical space on spindles, in paper sleeves or organizers (depends on your apartment size of course). Drives do fail but can be acquired cheaply (or for free if you salvage them from old PCs and have a USB adapter).
  • ➕ DVDs will always have worse compatibility with modern equipment than MP4. Good luck getting a smart TV to play one from a drive over USB.
  • ➕ For content that only ever existed as SD video, your non-reencoded rip will be pretty much the highest quality available.
    • ➖ That rip will almost certainly be in SD MPEG-2, interlaced (unless it’s a movie), and gigabytes in size, usually a little over 4 or 7 GiB (most discs are single-layer or double-layer and the video bitrate is set to fill the capacity).
      • You can reduce file size to 10-25% by reencoding to H.264 or H.265, using a lot of computing power and losing a little quality. H.265 does not support interlacing and takes way longer to encode, but you can fit a good-looking 100-minute HD movie on a CD with it! Many pirates overestimate the bitrate they need with H.265, leading to unnecessarily giant release files.
  • ➖ Likely not a concern for you but ripping copy-protected DVDs could be illegal even for personal use while downloading others’ HD rips might not be, like in my country.
  • DVD subtitles are 1bit bitmaps, ugly and relatively big in terms of storage. Their positioning is tied to video resolution so they will be at the center left if muxed with HD video. The MKV container is the only modern one that handles them at all. Converting to SRT or other text-based formats requires OCR (which does not always fully work). If they aren’t on OpenSubtitles.org, I would rip them, skim the OCR and upload them there.
  • ➖ You will lose interactivity but that was usually more of a nuisance than a feature. I don’t think Bandersnatch or another similarly suitable title ever released on DVD. (Yes, I am confident that DVD Video is just barely capable of holding the entirety of that movie’s footage with full interactivity and everything but I doubt Netflix bothered, it would have cost a fortune.)

I would definitely back up niche DVDs but not mainstream ones – depends on how much you trust the scene to have your back. Up to you, really.
