Wizard with a Gun

The idea of putting my device into that gives me about the same icky feeling as putting my dick into random holes I find.

tias,

If it’s not safe for work, then how can there be staff working at the bowling alley, hmm?

tias,

Also he steals her child

tias,

…today?

tias,

So you’re saying that if we officially claimed the vaccines contained microchips, then everybody would accept them?

tias,

That’s not the part that I was curious about

tias,

So hire other bus drivers, or just have kids take the regular bus. Where I live there’s no such thing as a school bus.

tias,

Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes

Are movie and show file sizes more efficient than they were years ago?

This may be a stupid question, but I just got back into pirating some shows and movies and realize that many of the QxR files are much smaller than what I downloaded in the past. Is it likely that I am sacrificing a noticeable amount of quality if I replace my files with the smaller QxR ones?...

tias,

That makes no sense. The bitrate is how many actual bits per second the data uses after compression, so at the same bitrate all codecs would be the same size.

tias, (edited )

I’m not saying it is the size of the file, I’m saying the bitrate multiplied by the number of seconds determines the size in bits of the file. So for a given video duration and a given bitrate, the total size (modulo headers, container format overhead etc) is the same regardless of compression method. Some codecs can achieve better perceived quality for the same number of bits per second. See. e.g. veed.netlify.app/learn/bitrate#TOC1 or toolstud.io/video/bitrate.php

If it’s compressed to 6,000 kilobits per second then ten seconds of video will be 60,000 kilobits or 7 megabytes, regardless if it’s compressed with h.264, h.265 or AV1.

tias,

I laughed out loud when Spock went “OH F…” and then they cut to the title in STNW.

What’s the deal with those two fingers anyway? Hollywood seems to have a thing for it but I’m curious what idea they want to convey to the audience.

"Jogging From the Perspective of Animals" by Jake Likes Onions (files.mastodon.social)

tias,

If you consider the greater evolutionary history, up until very recently humans have been kind of like the monster in It Follows. They’re not very fast runners, but they are relentless. No other animal can run for such a long time. They’ll keep going and going for hours on end, and they will eventually catch up with their victim. For an injured prey with explosive strength but relatively low endurance it must be absolutely terrifying.

Dogs joined the dark side, so they probably feel all cool and mighty next to their running master. In their head they go “yeah bitches you can run, but you can never hide from my human”.

tias,

Did you not read the article?

YouTube isn’t rolling out the anti-adblock to everyone. It seems to depend on things like your account, browser, and IP address. And if you’re not logged in or you’re in a private window, you’re safe. As a result, there are a bunch of people saying, “I use XYZ and I haven’t seen an anti-adblock popup yet,” unknowingly spreading misinformation.

tias,

If the website developer is worth their salt, the article contents won’t be delivered from the web server until the reader has been authorized. So it doesn’t matter how much JS code you disable.

I don’t have a Fortnite skin, it was removed when I was little

Do people really need to know more? I don’t think there are any virtues that could make up for China’s treatment of Uyghurs and the people who try to save them.

tias,

It’s a human rights issue. People like you and me are dying.

That’s right. Because not every single person is in jail, no problem exists. /s

How about this: even putting one person in jail because of political opinion is an oppressive, undemocratic action.

tias,

This post was about China, not other countries. What China is doing is an atrocity and your whataboutism doesn’t change that.

I want to see them, I just want Lemmy to distribute them more evenly among other communities in the feed. As others have suggested the sorting algorithm should weigh each score inversely by the average score of posts in that community.
