  • Serious question, can a downsize of an image be considered a lossy compression method?

    "It's going to be fun to play this game again!" [Azul Crescent's silly scribbles]
  • I was going to say this, too. It definitely applies to some games, but not the original Crash trilogy. I replay those games every 5-10 years.

    Demanding satisfaction
  • I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the point, but all those duel things were mostly about honor and usually among the elites. A lot of them "had" to do it even if they didn't want to, because of the social norms and stuff.

  • I came because Reddit's a shitty company and due to the ban of 3rd party apps. Which group am I?

    Russia fines Google more than the world’s total GDP over YouTube bans
  • I mean, they are trying and failing to censure the web to their benefit. Hence the "fines". Hypothetically, due to fines those services will be blocked anyway, that's mostly the point.

  • Does it really help to isolate them from the rest of the world even more? It's kind of what those dictators are trying to do in the first place.

    When people complain about climate protests being disruptive - show them this photo.
  • How is this photo supposed to convince anyone of anything? Floods, tornadoes and other environmental disasters occured before humans even existed. The problem is their frequency and severity.

    This is like trying to sell somebody a 120hz+ display using a photo.

    PipeWire 1.2.6 released
  • PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

    • Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
    • Accessing sources of video for consumption.

    Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.

    European auto giants launch a flurry of cheaper electric vehicles — taking the fight to China
  • The oil lobby wouldn't be specifically against cars from another region, they are against electric vehicles in general, whether they are produced domestically or otherwise. The primary benefactors from the tariffs are the US electric car manufacturers, who would lose profit over not being able to compete with subsidized cars. They are probably the ones who lobbied for them.

  • Whether you agree or not with their justification (or think that it's not the real reason), they clearly have no justifications (or reasons) to impose tariffs on unsubsidized (or at least not as heavily subsidized) EU cars.

  • Yeah, ok. I suppose that helps a bit. This kind of ambiguity exists in pretty much all languages, but good to know there's some justification for that rule.

  • See my other comment in the thread, it applies to pretty much all languages that capitalize letters.

  • It's just so weird, I know many languages, some don't use capitalization at all, sure, but all that do use it do it for names and start of sentences. Sometimes whether a word is a name or a noun is different from language to language (for example language names, some capitalize them, some don't), but is a separate issue.
    And languages make grammatical changes even to this day, it's never too late to change something that has no benefit or hinders the usage.

  • I don't think the US would either. Their justification for tariffs on Chinese cars was that they were uncompetitively cheap due to subsidies. Doubt EU is gonna subsidize cars, at least as heavily as China.

  • Oh. So what's the point of capitalizing things if it doesn't help to differentiate a name from a regular noun?
