3 days agoffmpeg devs can refuse the AI generated bugfixes for all we care. What I’m heading at is if Google is going to spend AI on posting a problem, then they should also post the solution. At their own expense.

if Google has the resources to put AI to slop bug reports, then it also has the resources to put AI to also post the fixes. So, they should get going. No one owes Google of all corporations free labour.
2·25 days agoConsider the following:
On the one hand. Slavery got repurposed and repackaged in a nice 9-to-5 format - 8 hours, so that we’d stop complaining. Compared to that, spending let’s say two hours on videogames is defo not bad.
On the other hand, we’re talking about Roblox, one of the largest brainrots around. There’s defo better stuff to engage in.
3·2 months agoHexchat dead? I just checked on Sid and it’s available. Heck, I forgot I had it installed.
161·2 months agoLol, as if a visa or even granted citizenship ever stopped Trump before.
That’s still not patent free. Heck it’s right there: “irrevocable (unless we say so)”.
It does, yes, but from what I gather it’s rather difficult to actually encode such an animated image compared to, say, a GIF. Display should work just fine.
A file format can not, by itself, be “incompatible” with a website. What matters is the browser, and Firefox at least is adding support (slowly), and they are the ones who matter ATM.
Open is not the same as patent-free, the two things can coexist (and they do in the case of webp).
It’s open to write the code, but in order to be authorized to use it you have to get a permit from Google. You can’t eg.: fork from Firefox and use their permit (as you implicitly could with patent-free). Plus, Google can rescind their patent grant at any point, which they are bound to do once they secure ownership of the internet.
That’s good to know! If I ever get to make an instance of anything in the Fediverse and I set it to save images (lol, fat chace), I’m setting it to either JPEG-XL or XPM.
AV1 is for video though? JPEG-XL is patent-free, better performant than most or all alternatives, and made for images.
These are factors webp was designed for.
I thought it was designed so that Google could continue to de-facto own the web.
JPEG-XL exists, is factually better, and is not patent encumbered.
2·2 months agoOh yeah also you have to use the terminal for practically everything (even audio control in calls).
pfff easy,
M-a C-x C-volumedown. Good ol’ Emacs.
1·2 months agoSame place as Facebook: already in the pockets.
Oh that one is easy: most stuff is in the browser nowadays.
So… Linux phone when, then?
I can think that if it’s not from an accident then it’s something worse.
2·2 months agoI can see the memetic advertisement by now! “Tested with ur mom”, etc.
Agree! I hereby propose that Google forwards US$1000 to the developers each time the AI signals a bug. Don’t even need to write it off as expense, it’s just “investment on QA”.
