and that it’s owned by Google.

I mean yes, but it's patent irrevocably royalty free (so long as you don't sue people claiming WebM/P as your own/partially your own work), so it's effectively owned by the public.

Google hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer implementations of the WebM Specifications, where such license applies only to those patent claims, both currently owned by Google and acquired in the future, licensable by Google that are necessarily infringed by implementation of the WebM Specifications. If You or your agent or exclusive licensee institute or order or agree to the institution of patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any implementation of the WebM Specifications constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, or inducement of patent infringement, then any rights granted to You under the License for the WebM Specifications shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. "WebM Specifications" means the specifications to the WebM codecs as embodied in the source code to the WebM codecs or any written description of such specifications, in either case as distributed by Google.

(But Dark, that's WebM not WebP! -- they share the same license: https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org/g/webp-discuss/c/W4_j7Tlofv8)

That's rough buddy

I think this is a really great response; I agree with you on a lot of this. I (personally) think we need more of this sort of dialog and less "American society is crumbling." I hope you'll agree here/try to keep that in mind as much as possible. IMO some outwardly expressed optimism and hope is really important and can go a long way towards fighting the collective depression and overwhelming feeling that we're up against an insurmountable force ... IMO we can get through all of this, we just have to work together and have constructive discussions on how.

There's definitely been some dropping the ball by previous generations, and I hope (and if we try, know) we can do better in the coming years.

I think as long as Lemmy handles this well in the software, it doesn't really matter(?)

This is definitely top 10 Linux memes of all time for me.

They're full of it, that's it. Maybe in their house which lacks sufficient insulation. Heat pumps (i.e. air conditioning) are/is extremely efficient at moving heat around, there's not really a practical limit on it, particularly if you go geothermal.

Great White Fury: A Shark Tale (?)

As someone from an actual small town, that's hilarious 😂

but its a symptom of a larger problem

American society is crumbling

I've heard this before about a billion things, it's not a particularly useful take. IMO we've got a youth depression problem because of extremely hostile messaging about "how screwed our country is", "how screwed our planet is", and addictive mind manipulating social media apps.

I'm in my late twenties, my generation was plagued by hot take social media, and I think the current generation has it even worse. I'd love it if we could avoid these hot takes on Lemmy. Break the problems down into their pieces and attack those things; IMO, like solving any big problem, that's how we get through this.

I think the problem there is (likely) more the social media than the phones. I grew up with high schoolers having phones in the classroom in 2009-2013; Twitter and Facebook were the big two, and Instagram wasn't what it is now. Even then, Facebook & Twitter could kind of suck/cause drama way more than just the more basic things phones can be used for cameras, calculators, web browsers, and messaging family & friends.

"Addictive social media" in particular, is probably where congress's eyes need to be placed. That sounds like what this union is saying as well doing a quick skim, so 👍👍 .

The Polygon RSS feed

I mean... if you're running millions of sites on one box, and that itself isn't an issue, I'd assume your port saturation/traffic is pretty low.

I don't know anything about Netbird, but I'll link you to my ZeroTier pitch the last time I noticed someone talking about Tailscale: https://lemmy.world/comment/1058287.

I think it's acceptable, though I am working on my own ... for now experimental ... Lemmy client in C++/Qt/QML ... maybe eventually for desktop and mobile devices alike :)

Well... Part of that is just that web apps have much worse efficiency and performance compared to native apps. That's not to say their performance and efficiency is bad, but a native app will beat a web app everytime. The DOM and JavaScript are just not great models in terms of efficiency and performance.

If you vote in it or open it, it's marked read in most apps.

Except that's not why this is a crime. You can do that all day everyday. This is a crime because of his intent to fight for what's in effect a hostile foreign terrorist organization.

For those wondering, it seems to be this prison run by the state of Louisiana https://doc.louisiana.gov/location/louisiana-state-penitentiary/

It really can't happen fast enough
