The fact that fans might port TP to the Switch before Nintendo bothers is hilarious

Your comment posted 3 times so I’m guessing there’s something with your internet haha

I’m still deciding how “serious” the project is going to be, but if all goes well I will definitely add support for other formats. I’m already looking at adding Pandoc for document conversions.

I have a whole blog post talking about using Godot for GUI development. The short of it is that it’s surprisingly good but has a few drawbacks, and it doesn’t have a bustling ecosystem like webdev tools. I’ve yet to try it on mobile, though.

Video files are an exception since it would be too slow on WASM

Q: What happens with video files?

Video files get uploaded to our lightning-fast RTX 4000 Ada server. Your videos stay on there for an hour if you do not convert them. If you do convert the file, the video will stay on the server for an hour, or until it is downloaded. The file will then be deleted from our server.

VERT is really close but not totally what I was looking for, it’s a web app rather than a local program and AFAIK can’t convert videos locally, you’d have to upload it to a server and download them again.

Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve yet to see any AVIF in the wild. I think support for it is not quite there yet, everybody is still relying on WEBP.

It’s a heavily modified and upgraded version of source 2, but yeah.

You can help by writing to Apple CEO Tim Cook ([email protected]) and letting him know that you won’t buy Apple devices because of their proprietary software and DRM.

There really has to be a better call to action than this:

What a stupid, nothingburger article.

The company is considering releasing millions of old email addresses that were originally created by bots in its early years. These accounts were disabled almost immediately, but the addresses lived on. […] The problem is that many of these addresses are extremely common.

So what? The author rambles about the horrors of getting emails from people who have accidentally written in a generic email handle. It’s not a huge deal. Tons of people using other email services like Outlook and Gmail also have generic usernames, it’s a user’s choice on whether to get one or not. These are old bot accounts that have been disabled for almost a decade, so it’s not like somebody would send emails assuming it was the old person using the handle.

Proton says it wants community feedback, which is good, but the fact that it is even considering such a reckless idea makes me question the company’s judgment.

“I’m mad that the company is surveying their community”, great argument.

Have you read the article? These are old bot accounts that have been disabled for almost a decade. It’s in the very first line.

Microblogging has always sucked IMO. It’s always been more geared towards shouting your opinion and leaving, and it actively discourages any discussion by hiding reply threads and making it a nightmare to follow. Most people aren’t ready for this take, though…

I don’t know what weird-ass stawman you built, but it’s obviously not from anything I said

your position seems to be “we won, everybody drop your weapons and party, google is good again”

No?

and you follow by bashing linux phones in your subsequent comments…

“Bashing” Linux phones by saying they’re buggy and won’t be ready soon, which is literally true. Even PostMarketOS says the same thing on their website. I guess you’d prefer I gaslight people by saying Linux phones are awesome, let’s all switch to phones that barely work, lack any phone apps, have a terrible battery life, etc.

Deluded or in bad faith for sharing official news?

The Linux phones that exist today (including Pine Phone) are more like early dev kits. They have really weak specs, are incredibly buggy, lack all sorts of features you’d expect, and I’m not totally sure if you can even make calls through them because phone carriers require a verified device and proprietary tech to work.

There are efforts to get things in order but these will take maybe 10 years at this rate.

I’m guessing they’re going to hide it in developer tools with a bunch of warnings and no explanation on how to get there so regular users don’t turn it on by accident.

That’d be nice, but Linux on phones is still a pipe dream.

I mean the series did peak in season 1, but season 2 is the worst one by far. If you do pick it up again you’ll probably have a better time once you get through the bad parts.

Stranger Things very famously had that one episode in season 2 where Eleven travels and joins another group of teenagers with superpowers - it was an extremely unsubtle attempt at greenlighting a spinoff that never happened.

After that episode this was never mentioned or brought up ever again.

Animals seem immune. There was some throwaway line in episode 2 about how one of the survivors told a giraffe to shoo and go away but it completely ignored her.
