Crypto bros 🫡

That’s really not the only possible move

Sure. On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to make a new home at a platform with an investment from crypto bros, that will eventually become Twitter/X 2.0. https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/113472115447080382

Yet. Mind you, they are VC-backed. Eventually they will enshittify it.

Pop is not gaming oriented, where did you get that?

Firefox implements v3 without the restrictions.

But with DoH you can’t sniff the DNS, that’s the whole point.

With TLS and DoH, how is your bank and other information leaked?

… which is not a high bar.

This is about intro detection in TV shows, not ad blocking. I’m not proposing this as a good way to block ads, just noting that this feature in Plex doesn’t use a database.

Pretty sure they just use timestamps from a crowdsourced database, just like sponsorblock.

Nope, it’s analyzing the sound to guess where the intro starts and ends. Turns out this is pretty simple to implement, but quite reliable. Source: worked for Plex

No, they could’t just remove a few lines of code and text - if they could, they would have done exactly that. Yuzu was fucked because they sold early access to day one compat with new games. That’s clearly illegal and scummy, even if it’s big bad corporation on the losing end of it. If they hadn’t complied they likely would have lost any litigation and might also get into other legal troubles because of likely pre-release access to games. No judge would have taken any of it lightly.

I think it’s a function of greater screen resolutions being available.

Explain?

Lots of negativity and whataboutism in this thread (which I don’t disagree with), but this is still a good move.

328kbps in a lossy format is plenty. You might be one of those people who claim to hear the difference, but to date we are yet to see a double blind trial where a substantial percentage of individuals reliably could demonstrate such ability.

Ozempic was an established drug before, it just wasn’t widely prescribed for non-diabetics. That is not say there is no chance of long term harm (and I share the sense that some downside will eventually come to light), but it’s not a huge chance.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. There are multiple codecs available (some with much higher bitrates), but even in AAC (which I assume you are referring to) there are different implementations. Also note that 328kbps is not “garbage mp3”, 128kbps CBR was the common (and shit) variant that you probably meant. But more modern codecs achieve much better fidelity at lower bitrates even.

Gotcha

The Hungarian twitter community is very small, I’d be surprised if it were a censorship target. Do you have a source on this?
