AV1 and Opus for the win
Watch Call of the Night, Chainsaw Man Dr. STONE and Gachiakuta, Oshi no ko they’re peak
I think torrents are the best approach to this thanks to their decentralized nature. they can die if nobody seeds anymore but that doesn’t mean uploading it on some site is gonna make it better as that site can go down too. Besides, if you have a spare laptop you can keep always plugged in and doesn’t consume a ton, you can make it constantly seed your stuff.
I think personally the best approach is through torrents but that’s how I see it. Do what you think works best
I don’t drink enough water unlike AI which “drinks” way too much water
I like torturing my CPU.
jokes aside although it will likely keep the slow aspect of encoding like it’s older sibling, I think something like av1an can help speed it up nicely. not only that, if there is a svt-AV2 that will also speed up the process likely
Well, it is meant to COMPLETELY DESTROY THE DREAMS OF VCC (h266) SUPPORTERS- I mean, it’s 30% more efficient compared to AV1 as others pointed out.
Also, this means we’re approaching a moment where most of our devices decode AV1 natively without use of dav1d (although I still use it since sometimes hardware decoders for some reason mess up shit)
there are infinitely many 👍
yooo, this is so amazing!!
Can’t wait to tryout AV2, I’m not sure there’s an usable encoder yet but I am real excited!
FOSS & royalty free for the win 🔥
(I sound like an AI bot but I’m really just excited 🥲)
tbh you’ll likely find yourself better using anything else that isn’t Ubuntu. Debian is cool if you’re okay with your desktop environment being a bit behind (as for apps you can use flatpaks for the most up to the date, it also is good if you need most app support as it can install .deb) or arch if you want to learn a bit more about how your little penguin lives inside that metal box of yours! Fedora I am not sure as I think they implement or will implement telemetry.
One last thing is that not all telemetry is bad. if you take a look at KDE’s initial prompt for telemetry it is anonymous and is used to simply try and make the DE better
As a user added: Fedora does opt-in telemetry which is the same as Debian’s where if you want you can enable it but by default it’s disabled
To be honest trying to censor videogames, a digital medium for art, is no different than trying to censor an actual art piece you’d find at a museum.
If someone said “EW, censor the David sculpture! It’s so obscene!” almost anybody would be opposed to it. “what about the kids” would be met with a simple “do your job as a parent if it brothers you so much”.
This should be no different in other forms of arts such as videogames, however, people fail to apply the same logic because society can’t still accept videogames as actual art pieces. We have seen this times again as companies shut down servers and make videogames unplayable, refusing to allow a way to keep the game running by hosting a private server or such.
Luckily, movements like “stop killing games” are getting enough coverage to the point it became genuinely meaningful and discussed in Parliaments.
I am someone that doesn’t play NSFW games personally, however, I believe one should be able to play whatever they want as long as the game isn’t actively harassing deeply someone (say racism in such a way that instigates it instead of spreading awareness. a game showing how bad racism is in a comedic way with fun jokes is okay but one that is designed to make one racist is not).
