Comment Re: MKV. Of course. (Score 1) 48

"All the websites offering downloads of pirated movies and television shows have them in .MKV format, probably because of its good picture quality and smaller file size."

You have no idea what you are talking about. MKV is a container format, not a video codec. It does not offer smaller file sizes than any other container.

I never said it was a codec. It is a file format that offers better compression. That's why a 1920 x 1080 video in an .mkv container is smaller that the same video in .mp4 format. Or maybe you live in an alternate universe where 500mb is not smaller than 1.2gb

If you don't know, you don't care.

If you care, you know.

I doubt that most people are even aware of videos in .MKV format

All the websites offering downloads of pirated movies and television shows have them in .MKV format, probably because of its good picture quality and smaller file size. However, this is not something you would use a web browser for. You would watch them offline using a video player.

Very few, if any, mainstream websites that are hosting videos are using the .MKV format.

It's the end-point of America's post-9/11 fetishization of police out there to solve a societal issue with violence

If only that was true. Nobody is trying to solve any problems. Its just a cowardly dictator-wannabee who cums in his diaper every time he sees a new video of someone getting their head bashed in.

Comment Re:Model F (Score 3, Insightful) 74

I had an original Model M many years ago. However, I don't get this line from the article: "My desk isn't large enough to easily accommodate the original Model M".

What sort of tiny ass desk do you have? The M is solid and heavy but it's not significantly bigger than today's shit keyboards.

I have seen this repeatedly in different categories. You have a space for thousands of characters to provide detailed information about whatever it is you're posting. Someone writes a single sentence of about 100 characters with misspellings.

A large percentage of the population is stupid and not capable of writing or even thinking coherently. This is not new.

realtor.com won't load for me. I've seen a few more. It's *probably* because of cranking security settings up

In other words. the problem isn't Firefox. It's a website doing some sort of retarded fuckery that it shouldn't be doing.

That's why the Mozilla community is demanding that Meta:
- Shut down the Discover feed until real privacy protections are in place.
- Make all AI interactions private by default with no public sharing option unless explicitly enabled through informed consent.
- Provide full transparency about how many users have unknowingly shared private information.
- Create a universal, easy-to-use opt-out system for all Meta platforms that prevents user data from being used for AI training.
- Notify all users whose conversations may have been made public, and allow them to delete their content permanently.

Comment Re:should eliminate the nickel as well (Score 1) 245

The cost of producing a penny (or any other money) is irrelevant. A 100 Dollar Bill doesn't cost 100 dollars to produce, probably only a few cents worth of paper and ink. The only reason small coins are needed, such as the penny and nickel, is because of sales tax, which results in things costing odd amounts.
