An overly compressed 4k stream will look far worse than a good quality 1080p. We keep upping the resolution without getting newer codecs and not adjusting the bitrate.

I’m starting to think these for-profit companies only care about making money.

Had to leave Twitter when it became a Nazi site, I can leave TikTok to I guess.

Just ran am update for ytdlp and it’s working again.

I don’t make phone calls and rarely use SMS. All the features I need/want from a phone would be missing.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I genuinely love my phone. It makes my life better.

I recently started using VisiData and it’s amazing.

Risky talking down to developers. Does the CEO not know that Git is like REALLY easy to move?!

Who could have guessed this very obvious a most expected outcome?! Not Spotify, I guess.

Gopher is cool, but none of my friends will install a gopher browser.

A lot of companies have managed password services. If Doug from HR gets locked out at 2AM on a Tuesday night, they can reach out to the 24/7 support instead of calling me.

I’ve been using Kodi to pull movies from my NAS for years.

NAS + Tailscale + Kodi is the easiest to setup for me. Works really good.

They think they have enough users locked in to just pay over setting up another server. They might.

Help me understand how this is Open Source? Perhaps I’m missing something, but this is Source Available.

I guess we don’t need it then.

Open source file manager Material Files lets you set an SSH server as a bookmark and mount it instantly. Moving files around just like like it’s native. Works seamlessly through Tailscale.

You can grab that shell file and examine it. You can also check it out from their public git. I agree that this is bad practices, but not exactly uncommon.

Some people are recommending GIMP. It’s not bad for image editing. For image creation krita and Inkscape are amazing.

In the early 2000s, only my rich friends had cell phones. My roommate and I both had accounts on each other’s machines so we could telnet into them on the same local network.

We used to do this all the time to each other. It was funny to us 25 years ago. It’s still funny now.
