that's what I was told

that has never worked

those are different groups, the loan providers were in support of loan forgiveness. pause to make sure I know what I'm talking about. Unless your fed loans are serviced by MOHELA, in which case the state of Missouri sued on their behalf

I myself have launched several new git repos in the last decade. Where's my article TechCrunch?

yeah, OsmAnd is open source, so someone else built it to be released on fdroid, and the original developers have said that they don't have a problem with that I think as long as they don't release it on Play/try to sell it

facts-i-made-up aside, how much of a difference would vanta black actually have on a pools appearance? i figure after a certain point the waters own reflectivity more than makes up the difference

couldn't you do that anyway if you can get people to install an extension? taking advantage of this for crypto mining purposes feels like extra steps

its it's own reward

gotta go with the velociraptor, Little knife chicken

OsmAnd~ is free on fdroid

easy enough to resolve, since the G stands for GNU just pronounce it the same as that, and since GNU stands for GNU'S not UNIX, it pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU

i found this out after reading through osmand documentation and seeing a bunch of features marked as premium that I DEFINITELY hadn't paid for, and trying to figure out what happened lol

wait I'm not the only one who tried the video game thing? On my second playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn I decided to swap to my target language just because I thought it would be funny, but it's actually been a kinda nice experience pausing during dialogue, tabbing over to a browser, and then looking up any words i don't know

it is slightly less strict on SUVs but it does apply to them. Smaller cars are going to require a 10% increase by 2031 but SUVs and pickups will only require 6%

no way the Red Cross finally made its way into a video game

OP is looking for 3rd person

I think because it's actually a Mastodon post, Lemmy renders the first line as the post title because Mastodon doesnt have titles

homemade ice cream sundaes

i went to an ice cream parlor once and ordered a banana split, but they were out of bananas. And while i did not go immediately across the street and buy a single banana from the grocery store right there, i decided that it was worth it during my next grocery run to purchase a carton of ice cream and some toppings and make them at home. and I've been doing that at home for almost two years now as my go to dessert

the worst kind of interactive loading screen is one that is fun on a game that loads quickly.

This is of course a problem that should only be complained about and never fixed, please don't make your game load slower just so that i have enough time to press buttons

i simply choose to believe it means bagel enjoyer

I'll start the gofundme on the condition that we use Black 2.0 instead of vantablack because I refuse to put money in Anish Kapoor's hands

oh hey I've actually done this recently so a lot of this is fresh for me. Now I had a slightly different use case than you, I had a bunch of AV1 files that wouldn't run on my pi so I had to convert them to something less GPU intensive. I was finding x265 was indistinguishable for me from AV1, and had a HUGE file size drop, close to a half or even a third. x264 had a larger file size than 265 and looked worse so I don't recommend it. I did not try VP9 once I was satisfied with 265 but you could try it out and see how it compares. My recommendation is to pick one (shorter) file and run a couple of different transforms on it till you're satisfied before trying to transform your entire library

Preserving audio and metadata is trivial, just use -c:a copy for audio and -c:d copy for metadata

EDIT: I feel dishonest not mentioning the important caveats regarding my own experiments. My files were 1080p, so the difference between codecs might be less noticeable at that resolution. It was also anime, which is similarly going to be easier to compress and be less distinct between codecs. This is why I cannot recommend x264 because if you can ruin 1080p anime it'll ruin whatever you're working with. This is why I recommend picking a sample video and spend a day running a couple test transformations on it to see what you like

asking for forgiveness rather than permission sorta just seems to be their policy these days, yeah?

yes

I'm a PI male

no idea, if I had to guess it's the @fediverse tag in the body

Is there a song for the battle between Sabaton hater and Sabaton thread?

mine is also my mom's homemade strawberry jam, though her peach jam is a close second
