Hasn't Russia chosen to attack a nuclear power plant in their recent aggression? Unless you're thinking of a more destructive kind of attack, I probably shouldn't be counting on international intervention.

Doesn't look like Tapmusic supports ListenBrainz; does it? Then again, if all it does is collages, then ListenBrainz has a tool for that of its own.

(Not quite; you need to add yoghurt to the milk, in order to make yoghurt. For the rest, though, all you need are bacteria for the cheese and cow to develop naturally.)

I'm inclined to believe it was written in jest. Then again, I shouldn't be too surprised if it wasn't.

Once can very well argue that 'movie pirating community' is more properly the dysphemism for 'file sharing community'. :-)

Chrome's involvement in the past few years has (until very recently) been anything but reasonable. That said, have any of them subjected WebP or AVIF to the same strict requirements, or should we reserve those only for less complex cod

The problem is that 'what changed' is hardly related to why they joined Twitter in the first place. Becoming 'increasingly hostile' and prioritising 'hatred, polarisation, and sensationalism' (more than before)

I think either leaving a hostile platform or staying to promote ideas which run against it are reasonable choices. But what the article doesn't say is why they (as an organisation whose mission is to protect and promote free software)

Generally speaking, both using and not using X seem like reasonable choices for the FSFE, in my opinion. But deciding to leave it right now over changes in 'direction and climate' seems… odd. The FSFE's mission, as I unders

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all of these are solved problems. LGPL should only pose a problem if you explicitly want your program to be used with non-free software. And then only if said non-free software doesn't give y

'Pushover licence' is a licence which may grant freedom, but doesn't care to protect it. One may modify software under a pushover licence and release their modifications as non-free software. Another, more common name is &#x2

If I recall correctly, that's FUIF, originally created by the same author as FLIF's successor of sorts.

Congratulations on the progress. If I may ask, I'm curious what considerations have motivated your choice of licence (especially since pushover licences seem extremely popular with all kinds of different Rust projects, as opposed to co

Fair point, though not entirely true: you can run an image through lossy compression and store the result in a PNG, using tools like pngquant [1]. Likely not as efficient for many kinds of images, but totally doable. [1] https://

In context of the parent comment, 'only 20% improvement' is not super exciting, 'compared to the pain of dealing with yet another new image format'. You raise a good point, though; WebP certainly did (and continues to do

If I remember correctly, WebP was single-handedly forced into adoption by Chrome, while offering only marginal improvements over existing formats. Mozilla even worked on an improved JPEG encoder, MozJPEG, to show it could compete with WebP

Until AV3 finally rolls around, of course. Then the world would be just H.264 as baseline and AV3 for high quality.

Why should the EU not see an expansive authoritarian superpower as an adversary, or, at the very least, a real threat to its continued existence and sovereignty?

Any half-decent person is going to keep on breathing. It's one of the basic prerequisites of bringing some value to society. Not breathing is selfish and completely misses the point of life. If you're going to exist, then breathe;

Then you care about a different kind of freedom than GPL proponents: licensing freedom, rather than user freedom, basically. There is no 'true freedom', as it comes down to the point of view; no licence will give you both at the s
