I also find funny how Portuguese is also better than English (Brazilian talking here). I guess is probably the nature of the languages or so, phonetics... it does works amazing in PT-BR Whisper V2, I can't even imagine it being better,

Actually, there's more to this than DRM. They basically killed to support to every setup that don't have DCH¹ (universal drivers). The reason being because they wanted to do state separation in future version (likely Windows 12),

They totally use, but on more popular videos. A fun fact is that they run (or used to) the same VP9 bitrate for AV1, and thus, the video quality on AV1 was way better (as AV1 is more efficient than VP9).

Most things where? Like, the biggest video app on the earth called Youtube uses mostly VP9/AV1 (it will only play H.264 if you don't have any encoding for VP9 OR AV1, which is very, rare). Netflix also uses H.265/AV1. Amazon

Mastodon has more than 10 million... but a lot of these are probably duplicated, bots, etc. Active users are about 1.7 million iirc.

That's exactly how Telegram growth. WhatsApp always had outages and some problems. With every problem, people used Telegram - and Telegram was better. That's how Telegram have 700 million active users.

People (like me) are looking for a Twitter alternative. The alternative need to have a minimum viable product. Mastodon is 7 years old and still don't have a search or quote feature. BlueSky is newer, but the app it's totally awfu
