HEVC and AV1 is twice more magic. It keep the same quality to human eyes while reducing the bitrate by 50%. HEVC is patent encumbered. Users who use old hardware don't have hardware decoder. So both requires more time to be adopted.

I disagree. Storage is expensive. Think of an old video uploaded 15 years ago with total view count of 1k. You can't just put it to a cheap cold storage. Someday, somebody is going to watch it and you have to retrieve it instantly or t

Do you really remember 20 years ago? I do. It was year 2004. Linux kernel 2.6 was still in development and people are using 2.2 or even 2.0. The latest stable Debian was Woody at that time, using Linux kernel 2.2. GNU/Linux was still s

How does it work? I wasn't using computer at that era but it sounds like start running Linux kernel from MS-DOS. Linux Kernel take the control and overwrite MD-DOS from the memory. So there will be no MS-DOS to operate the sound card.

I wonder what other existing programs Will Systemd attempt to replace in the future. My bet is /bin/sh, maybe they went further to replace the entire POSIX utilities.

I doubt you can handle UTF-8 properly with that attitude. The problems is, there is one very popular OS which is very hard to enforce UTF-8 everywhere, Microsoft Windows. It's very hard to ensure all the software stack you are dependin

Is it really an apt bug? It looks like they move some packages from apt to snap, and misconfigured dependency. That's beyond the design assumption of apt. Also, what ultimately failed is snapd.
