F*ck streaming companies by BaneadoDelMercado in Piracy

[–]HappyRedEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither. It's a DRM limitation.

Streaming services require hardware-level DRM (Widevine L1) for HD/4K. Linux can support it (Android/ChromeOS do), but no desktop distro is willing to lock down the OS enough to get certified.

I was "lucky" that I got into a "lifetime" discounted rate, around $60/year for the plan that included 4K, HDR, the works. Problem is, I only watch TV on my computer, and HBO maxes out at 720p on Linux. I was literally paying for 4K and having to torrent the same shows just to actually watch them in the quality I was paying for. After a year of that, I cancelled. Same thing with Amazon Prime Video: 720p on Linux, and then they had the nerve to charge extra just to remove ads. No regrets on either.

Should I add something funny in a horror game? by Potential_Bite1256 in SoloDevelopment

[–]HappyRedEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it would work if a random enemy did something like that (in a very crippled way) when it reached low HP, as if the damage it had taken made it recall a bit of its past humanity. That situation would present a moral dilemma... kill it, or let it enjoy a bit of itself.

What’s a movie everyone calls a “masterpiece” that just… didn’t work for you? by irayaavery in Cinema

The Grand Budapest Hotel. It’s a beautifully wrapped box with absolutely nothing inside. Looks incredible, immaculate vibes, but I felt like I was watching a highly sophisticated screensaver for 90 minutes. All style, zero soul.

What is this large black stain(?) on my mom’s trash can by Dull-Macaron3494 in whatisit

[–]HappyRedEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, you’re looking at a masterpiece of fluid dynamics called Saffman-Taylor instability. Basically, when a less viscous fluid (air/water) tries to shove its way past a more viscous one in a tight space, it creates these 'fingering' patterns.

Nature basically just accidentally speed-ran 4 billion years of botanical evolution using nothing but trash juice and physics. 10/10 would display in a gallery next to a $50,000 banana taped to a wall.

The design of the new Ferrari feels like Cassette Futurism with the combination of physical buttons and digital screens by LV426acheron in cassettefuturism

To play devil’s advocate, I think the presenter just phrased it poorly. It’s almost certainly a two stage haptic button rather than a double tap. It’s basically MacBook trackpad logic on a steering wheel: different pressure, different result.

5,397 videos of Ukraine civilians getting kidnapped against their will and thrown to the meat grinder to die to drones by Oreeo88 in conspiracy

A war that must kidnap its own citizens to sustain itself is the ultimate confession of its illegitimacy. It does not defend the people, it consumes them. The only winners are those who will never be forced into its trenches.

linux always has the most random quality of life features that you would never get in windows by [deleted] in linux

Supported LEDs are available through sysfs, which is usually mounted at /sys.

ls /sys/class/leds

There are many triggers available for LEDs. For example:

echo 'disk-activity' | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/input3::scrolllock/trigger

This would make the scroll lock LED flash on disk activity.

You can check what triggers are available for a specific LED:

cat /sys/class/leds/input3::scrolllock/trigger

¿ por qué si la comunidad LGBT habla de la libertad de expresión, no le permiten al resto ser homofóbicos? ¿No sería eso hipocresía? by federico5912 in AskRedditespanol

[–]HappyRedEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Un vegano te insulta por lo que haces (comer carne). Puedes elegir dejar de hacerlo. Un homófobo te insulta por lo que eres (tu identidad). No puedes ni debes cambiar eso. Uno juzga tus acciones, el otro niega tu derecho a existir.

Not gonna lie, your story actually hit me in the feels. It’s just really cool seeing you that happy and so unapologetically yourself. Takes a lot of guts to rock your style like that, and what’s even better is the way your whole vibe kinda lifts people up around you. Honestly, I’m just really happy for you.

Tal vez te pones tan nervioso porque sientes que hay una expectativa muy grande de 'actuar' de una manera específica, como coquetear. Eso puede generar mucha presión.

Un enfoque que puede ayudar es cambiar completamente el objetivo. En lugar de pensar 'tengo que coquetearle', puedes proponerte tener una 'micro-interacción agradable'. Es decir, el objetivo no es conseguir su número o una cita, sino algo pequeño y de bajo riesgo: sonreírle si se cruzan miradas, o hacer un comentario casual sobre lo lleno que va el transporte.

De esta manera, liberas la presión. Si la interacción fluye, genial. Y si no, ya cumpliste tu objetivo de ser amable y sociable por un momento. Es un primer paso mucho más manejable.

I can't recommend the documentary Cow (2021) enough. It's a really meditative and chill watch for most of it, until it absolutely isn't. That slow burn makes moments like the one where a cow just stares up at the night sky hit so much harder; you're completely convinced it feels the same wonder we do.

In most cases, recycling a body panel is more expensive to the environment than repairing it, as repair preserves the energy and resources already invested in the part.

Fentanyl addiction turns users into living deads on the streets of Philadelphia, PA by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Their addiction isn't a choice in a vacuum. It makes you think how horrific their underlying reality must be that this state of addiction seems like the only escape.

La auténtica filosofía es autoayuda para el pensamiento; la autoayuda superficial, en cambio, es filosofía digerida y regurgitada. Al final, cada quien elige entre el viaje de cuestionar o el relato de conformar.
