My bad. I thought you were saying you had issues with getting vaapi to work on Firefox. Tough luck getting any hw video acceleration in Linux outside of x86_64 and vaapi capable chips.

You can give Chromium a try. It has unofficially supported hw video decode capability. Though in my experience, out of the available browsers, Epiphany had the most robust hw video playback support due to gstreamer integration.

Google's FLoC was proposed openly as this one is. Everyone and their grandma was up in arms about it. Why give Mozilla a free pass? What is so special about this proposal?

They've taken Google's money before. Why not siphon off Meta before the company crashes and gets liquidated. /s Am glad Mozilla's true commercialization intentions are coming full circle. They recently introduced Firefox

This ban was presumably done under the same guises as the one done for Huawei. I don't see anyone shedding tears for Huawei.

To be fair, we have given Bitcoin more than enough time to mature into the ideals Nakamoto had envisioned. Can we just call it a failed project and move on to cryptos that actually deliver on the promise.

This was my thought too but I can't seem to find anything from Spotify's new policy that touches on content removal for subjects unwilling to appear on a recorded podcast. Maybe legal disputes could be playing a hand here, however

I share a similar story to yours. For a while, I used to call Spotify the 'Joe Rogan app' because that's all I ever used the Spotify app for. It's because of JRE that I discovered this whole new world of podcasting.

So, the so-called low transaction fees is not standard. In essence proving itself to be a gimmick...

Except the most usable crypto today which is Bitcoin, might cost 15$ to send someone 5$ today, maybe 20$ tomorrow depending on the ever flactuating gas fees. I wouldn't describe this as low transaction fees nor in any way efficient. Cr

To be fair, the herd immunity idea was floated around quite early in beginning of the pandemic. But it was quickly thrown out when governments saw the infection rates and deaths spike up. Ever since, vaccination has been the dominant (hamme

I think I got what you narrated. The element of surprise is your response to recognizing MKBHD's content playing at an unexpected unusual venue. Instead of that suggestive ad being inserted into the video. Why not use auto-play or reco

No. You are just a MKBHD fan. There's nothing more to it. Someone else who doesn't know who Marques is will see a talking head interrupting the relaxation video. For the restaurant owner, it means they cannot rely on YouTube to pl

It's not just a Twitter problem. Every major corp out there seems braindead on this issue. One would have thought that even major news publishers would at the very least whitelist their paywall on covid news coverage stories.

Maybe true but how can you audit this?

Kind of reminds me when one of the foremost mRNA researchers, Dr. Robert Malone was temporarily banned on LinkedIn regarding his views on the vaccine. While speaking at a JRE interview, he says later on after the ban, LinkedIn (probably aft

Never. Unless I accidentally hit rm -rf on my system. Even though it is easy to recover as I have backups automated to my external drive as well as on cloud, it will take me a few hours to return my system configuration back to its original

Not in OP's shoes but maybe they used to enjoy the convenience of being able to just watch Friends on Netflix. Or maybe they login to their Netflix on an "un-approved" device such as an Ubuntu PC and Netflix deems this bad so

You are right. Had a brain fart moment there. Still a good place to check as some of these official statements from the two leading public health bodies communicate the agreed-upon response to the disease. On Astral Codex Ten's piece,

Flatpak is the future of Linux desktop applications for so many reasons, but among them it allows users not to be caught up in the dependancy mess that plagues Linux distributions. Some of the criticism here does not belong to Flatpak. E.g

Bang on! This just summarizes the experience of browser video hardware acceleration on Linux. Marred with bugs and incompatibility issues. Regressions are the norm for Firefox in this regard according to my experience using an Intel card. S

If you were to ask me. Kids should be given less and less access of social media apps like these. Social media might have some good positive use cases but for the most part it is problematic and tends to err on the negative side. Recent stu

I don't think am being unreasonable. There is nothing stopping you or any user from consuming the product without proof of government ID. Besides social media networks get hacked all the time.
