h264 is not good enough for many things

what stops you from installing win95 and winzip?
218.
by redeeman 1y ago
there are A LOT of zip files using lzma in the wild. also, how about people learn to use updated software? should newer video compression technologies not be allowed in mkv/mp4. if you cant open it, well.. then stop using 90ies winzip

yeah, true, because then people think the government is solving it for them without them doing ANYTHING. Take their facebook/whatsapp away, and you'll see consequences. hell, we have several people on HN that claims its simply not

blame the governments? the people of the US is responsible for what their government does. The people of China is responsible for their government.

and yet it would be solved overnight if the consumers just stopped buying what they evidently dislike so much

this is an elitist view. many people testing are not really able to do that, but ARE able to get the rc kernels from a distribution. They are not stupid, they know that it can kill their data. They most probably dont have anything mega impo

rofl, people would never accept not having their locked down iphones or facebook. this would be a very losing battle for politicians

ascii cart nude woman is "gross"? What is it about yourself that makes you uncomfortable with this?

by redeeman 1y ago

by redeeman 1y ago
They should obviously not be able to do that, I hope you now will stop relying on such services that put you utterly at their mercy. I hope you also tell everyone you know to not fall in the same trap

trump was one of the people that originally provided all they knew about epstein to the prosecutors, and once he realized what epstein was, he was banned from all trump venues. What did other do?
