Let's boycott it until October 1st, that'll show them! /s

I've personally used webp for when I need lossy compression with alpha channel. What good alternatives are there? Png is not lossy and jpeg does not support alpha. Is JXL better than WebP? AVIF? JPEG2000?

If their licencing agreement permits retroactive changes like this, that is reason enough to gtfo

They also removed hardware encoding. They've had the same shitty h264 1080p encoder forever, but it was better than nothing.

Ah, the classic "make a minority responsible for our problems" technique.

Splitting up completely functional families. Barbarians. Could this be appealed in the EU courts? Is political asylum in another country possible?

I was curious and looked up the origins of 'ham'. Apparently it originates from "ham-fisted" describing second-rate morse-code skills of telegraphists before radio was a thing

I believe I read somewhere that they have abandoned the desktop app on Linux. Yep:

!In September 2022, Microsoft announced that they'd be retiring their Linux Teams client in December 2022 in favour of a new “Progressive Web Application” (PWA) version of Teams.!<

Nonfungible cheese

They have more direct control over their software ecosystem though

Pardon me, Mr. President

Winter is coming. Time to buy a space heater

Dude, steam ships with a bunch of libraries enabling cross distro support. It ain't that complicated https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md

WoF?

Is it possible that someone tried to clear the area from rocks to grow crops? I've seen stone walls being built around old fields

Not the case in northern Europe by the way. I'm just as shocked when visiting countries in mid/south Europe

The air cooler market is very competitive right now. Noctua has great customer support and quality, as always, but there are better value options.

I would pick Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, or alternatively the Peerless Assassin 120 SE

I think it was a mistake to remove hardware video encoding. Even the hw encoder for H264 1080p 30fps was better than no encoder. Apparently they think sw encoding can replace it..yeah.. the cpu is more powerful, but not that much more. I think intels N100 processors will be more competitive for applications involving video/webcam

Christopher Hitchens made an argument regarding the religious undertones of the conflict and why peace cannot easily be found. https://piped.video/watch?v=rc90pcx6kNU

Of course, by this point there's also hate passed on from one generation to the next.
