Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Can someone explain why subtitles aren't working?English3·6 days agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but I think VLC still does not have full support for the WebVTT subtitle format.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Advocates raise alarm over Pfas pollution from datacenters amid AI boomEnglish21·7 days agoWouldn’t the argument being made be that those office buildings already exist, whereas the data centers for AI are being built new? So less of a it’s not a problem in offices and more of a we know this is bad so lets try to not build more of it?
Didn’t this happen with first aid videos on YouTube?
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Enthusiasts bond twelve 56K modems together to set dial-up broadband records — a dozen screeching boxes achieve record 668 kbps download speedsEnglish1·12 days agoAnd yet sometimes even with modern file sharing hosters I can only get 100KByte/s connections.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are your must-block tags on social media?English1·12 days agoYou had me from the very end.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•YouTube wants me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot and to "protect the community". Yet Google has bots crawling all over for their AI.English7·12 days agoAnd I bet Meta didn’t even properly seed it while they downloaded…
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If tariffs are being used to threaten a country, it seems perfectly reasonable to make the copyright of the threatening nation invalid in the threatened country.English17·12 days agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but did this not happen to the music of a bunch of Soviet era composers, that was temporarily free of copyright in the USA and then later had to be put into copyright again after the Cold War ended?
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Upgrading video quality for non-English content?English15·12 days agoSlightly off topic, but might be useful to you: If you look for BluRay remuxes you can also often find things with multiple audio tracks. Then you can just strip everything unwanted out of the container, which would leave you with the original video and a Spanish dub. Also, since you are looking for specifically Latino Spanish, I would hope this is also released on BluRay releases, or do we have systemic racism to thank for that not being one of the many common audio dubs…
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarksEnglish6·12 days agoAbsolutely ture, your comment being? I think they were simply referencing the fact that there is a lot more software out there that can be made to semi easily run on linux/unix based systems.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Time to Strike Out on your OwnEnglish121·12 days agoOr maybe just focus your time on politics to make a country in which you are not allowed to fire people illy nilly.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Embedded video in online articles is totally broken.English21·12 days agoWhile “taking a picture” is a viable option for personal blogs and such, it does technically break the ToS for most social media sites and also might violate copyright, which is why reputable news sources are left with the, arguably shitty option, of using embedded posts.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic conesEnglish2·12 days agoThis feels like it could be exactly the type of thing that causes the car crash in the pilot episode of the Upload TV series.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does Lemmy output horribly invalid HTML?English1·13 days agoThis wsa considered in the earlier days of the web, but then intentionally not enforced. HTML was specifically designed to not fall into the same scheme as most programming languages in that it should try to render what it could even if there was a lot going wrong (unlike most programming languages that try to fail fast).
(And before someone comes after me for comparing HTML to programming languages, I am well aware that it is not Turing complete.)
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Streameast Reclaimed Domain Name Previously Seized By the U.S. Government * TorrentFreakEnglish7·13 days agoJust for the uninformed, i.e. me, what is the advantage of reclaiming these domain names? I would assume that they can somewhat be considered tainted in terms of the piracy world now anyways, and getting new domain names should be fairly easy as well, shouldn’t it?
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The problem with overeating is that it feels really goodEnglish102·13 days agoTo be honest, this just sounds like sugar shock. If your blood sugar rises too fast for insulin to be able to counteract it, then you start getting symptoms like drowsiness, fatigue, and “high-ness.” This can feel good, but it is basically doing damage to your brain, so I am not sure that this would be good long term. Then again, I suppose the same can be said for (hard) drugs.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There is a limit how much power the pedal assist of an e-Bike is allowed to provide. There is no limit though on how strong the exoskeletton is that you use on a regular bike.9·13 days agoLaws are created by humans. What a surprise that there isn’t already a law forbidding something that human common sense tells you not to do.
That being said, I would love to see a video of somebody wearing an exosceleton pedalling away like crazy on a normal bycicle.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??English127·13 days agoNot a particularly informed comment, but I always figured because people started getting scared of the Christian god, so they started turning towards other religions. As a consequence, the Christian church needed to figure out how to make Christianity a bit more approachable, so the new testament and forgiveness were created.
Siru@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime?English6·13 days agoI am fairly certain that I have had a PC before that had exactly the issue that the CMOS battery ran out. It was able to boot just fine, I just couldn’t get it to connect to the internet properly. Took me ages to figure out that the date and time in the OS were completely wrong, because I never really use my computer as a clock anyways.
Isn’t AV1 patent free?
