   I upvote content I enjoy and comments I reply to as a courtesy for opening a topic for discussion, as well as the replies I get for taking the time to continue the discussion. I only downvote if the comment is inflammatory, or blatantly fal

   The supermarket chain I goes to in Quebec has a similar system, it's great since you can start packing your groceries as you go instead of at the end, so when you get to the self-checkout it's already packed and good to go, and yo

    It's an extremely complex mash of codecs, and I'm not sure you could make it simpler while keeping all its capabilities. I personally just make scripts with the required transcoding parameters, and I just look at the documentation

    What's even more terrible is that if Twitter deems one of your tweet breaks their terms of services (even if incorrectly), they'll ask you to provide some PII and delete the tweet, effectively doxxing yourself in case of a securit

    One thing I understood a while ago is that any service claiming a lifetime license is it's either the lifetime of the product or the company, not the customer. I tend to avoid it unless I'm fairly certain the product / compan

    Same here. I can't say I'm comfortable with it, but for the amount of services I manually need to create (that aren't pre-made by package maintainers) I normally find enough info online to figure it out by myself.

    They're giving it for free, so there's that. And you don't have to use it unless you bought a Chromebox / Chromebook, and even then some of them can be reconfigured with a different OS.

    Thanks to FFmpeg it's really simple to convert an HDR file to SDR in HandBrake by setting the colourspace to BT.709 under the Filters tab.

    IMO the lowest ad-free tier for Feedly was too expensive for what I'm doing (~6.00$/month) which is basically agregating news from multiple websites for my own personal use, so I migrated to Inoreader and use the Supporter plan (~

    OBS Studio, useful beyond livestreaming. Inkscape is quite good for FOSS, and vector-based drawings are awesome. FFMpeg for all your media conversion and manipulation needs.

    There were some limitations for third-party browsers on iOS that made them slower than Safari in the past, notably that they couldn't use the Nitro JavaScript Engine. https://9to5mac.com/2014/06/03/ios-8-
