No kidding on the ads. I shared this experience not long ago.

And the tragic thing is there was another news site that I did the same thing with afterwards, and it was literally 2.5x worse than what I documented with The Nation.

I remember the wonderful feeling when Discord had a redesign in like 2017 or 2018 where they undid that awful gray-on-white design trend and made the text actually have contrast. These days the annoying trendy design thing is articles/blogs with extremely narrow width.

no i do not want to read paragraphs
that are this wide. this is making it
way more annoying to read. please
stop doing this.

at least Firefox has Reader Mode.

oh don’t worry, the future will be worse. My prediction: full hardware attestation DRM linked to your personal information.

Could it be an extension causing a stability problem?

In addition, when they say this

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

They're talking about cutting entitlement spending. Never cutting "defense" spending, obviously. They really just want the USA to be like Mad Max.

It's so annoying when you try to discuss this because often a gaggle of idiots come out and point, superficially, that water gets recycled into nature. They always ignore the cost of making that water fit for human usage.

It's insane. Israel struck first, blatantly and obviously, and it was reported as such initially. But it feels like by now the mainstream narrative has become "well who's to say who really struck first?"

Something about a "stealth" fighter jet being the size of a stadium is absolutely hilarious.

It's gonna be funny when stuff like mid-level tech companies are fully integrated into Github Copilot and then whoopsie doopsie time for a 50% price hike.

On the one hand he's supposed to be a very serious business genius at the forefront of the next wave of technological advancement. On the other, he's just advertising to people how stupid he is.

Does anyone know how to determine the level of grain synth used in an encoded video? I have .webms that I've encoded with ffmpeg and svt-av1 but I don't have that grain synth information anymore.

In fact it would be nice if I could just see any other information about an encoded video (rate factor, preset used, etc). These details don't appear when using mediainfo so I presume they are lost and unknowable. But grain synth occurs at decode time, so that should still be something I can figure out, right?

Some personal editorializing: This is a pretty remarkable first because of how captive we Americans are to pharma prices. Famously, when Medicare Part D was brought into existence by law it restricted the federal government from negotiating Part D drug prices. To me, shopping for drugs in Canada is tackling the symptom and ignores the cause. I wonder if this gets more traction with more states how it might affect drug prices in Canada, too.

The real solution to all this, of course, would be nationalize the healthcare industry in all aspects and to create a single payer healthcare system.

 

Huge improvements for AV1 users over the last stable HandBrake release.

 

The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

 

I think with the weight of Apple finally behind AV1 it is as blessed of a format as anything can be. Sisvel be damned.

And, a new media engine now includes support for AV1 decode, providing more efficient and high-quality video experiences from streaming services.

I do not see AV1 encode support on this chip's announcement, however.

 

There are a lot of good improvements and fixes in this release. As a remorseful Nvidia on Linux user, I am extremely excited that GAMMA_LUT is finally making its debut in the Nvidia driver. This means I can actually try to use Gnome Wayland at night with the night shift feature, assuming other Wayland issues are also resolved.

Say I define different contexts or workspaces. So in my address bar I can type work and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword. Then I can type bored and it will open up my 4 defined pages associated to that keyword.

I am NOT asking about pinning pages to the start/home page, and I am NOT asking about loading websites when Firefox starts up (because I don't want to always load the same things every time I launch ffox). I am also not asking about pinning tabs.
