unduly harsh, not intended as a personal attack but rather an observation that nobody is awlays all right or all wrong. that came out bad xor AC's are easy targets. either way, sorry.

> If you love China so much, then go live there.

That's such a classically stupid cliche of a line, you should be embarrassed to use it.

> You're goddamn right we are the good guys.

but even the greatest morons are right sometimes.

GP doesn't show much more intelligence. God damn right the USA with its many many flaws is still worlds a better place to be than the mafia state which is Putin's Russia or the Orwellian disco that is modern capitalist China. Humans are notoriously bad at weighing dichotomy but seriously get a grip. Goldmans may be whispering in the ear of the USA government but at least they aren't actively selling the organs of the new age religioners on the open market the way the Chinese are or blatantly executing New York Times columnists on the streets the way the Russians are doing to their own.

The fact that the foundations of the USA are philosophically strong is precisely the reason that the good parts of the USA are worth fighting for. At present the US government may be a bit fucked up and 0wned, but at its core the US Constitution is still a one of humanity's greatest intellectual achievements and worth fighting for tooth and nail.

It's pretty easy to make your own one of these, you can make it a voltage doubler too so that you can drive LEDs.

You guys should really be using Jitsi internally and a local deployment of http://meet.jit.si for communicating with random customers who shouldn't have to install a third party client just to talk to you.

From a technical standpoint (and that's why we're here isn't it?) the Streisand Effect is actively trying to supress a nibble of information that wants desperately to be free. Which isn't really the case here. Here we have the editors silently ignoring an up-rated story on the firehose in the hope that if it goes away they won't get shit from their corporate overlords. They aren't filing public documents to make it so. Presumably they already have got the shit come down from on high and they don't feel that they're completely irreplaceable.

You want to stir the shit? Get the quashing story on Soylent News or wherever people with a beef hang out.

As for me, just another journalistic straw broken in my respect for the good 'ol site.

you must not be new here.

if the fucking thing wasn't being rammed down our throats there wouldn't be an issue. but it is, so people are up in arms about having something they do not want being rammed down their throats.

personally the saddest part of this for me is to witness the political maneuvering which brought this to be invade beautiful debian. it is toxic to the goodwill of the community, which has always been debian's most valuable asset.

When you look at the news today (classic cliche) there's precious little
good news about the progress of the human race. I guess that's why local
rural news about farm shows and parades and even tech news is so engaging.
It's the new, the positive, the hope and it's ever a rare thing to witness.

It's why people follow Musk, he's not innovating, his teams are actually inventing stuff.

gimmie a break, the command line encoder is fine. just cut and paste from the example in the VPx wiki page and you're in business.

Should Handbrake have VPx + Opus support in additional containers out of the box? Hell yes. But until then the command line version works just fine.

Fear of the CLI is just plain Gump-level stupid.
