  • Funny enough, searching for winrar leads to some other site than rarlab.com so they might be stupid and have 2 sites or there is malware out there

    The windows online software sources situation is crazy. Like why the hell do random websites offer downloads?

    Edit: rarlabs.com redirects to rarlab.com which is the correct site. Wikipedia to the rescue

  • Yes agree. But that makes a person not universally good. One could say evil.

    So "god" being all good would not be able to do this because it is a human response to a human misdeed.

    I guess I should be happy because of stability, and maybe even skip the first version.

  • Interesting, does using the output of a nonfree software make the model more free?

    Odd choice but personally I dont care, we have these models everywhere, please also on Linux etc.

  • You ask a lot of questions as if they are connected XD dont worry but separate them more.

    Steam is "the good side of Linux gaming" I suppose. I am struggling manually outside of steam, but if you use Steam, just use a modern distro with recent-ish packages and best the KDE Plasma Desktop (or others, but KDE works well), install the native steam client (not flatpak) and it should just work.

    File extensions are the same lol. You can just copy them over. Linux can read NTFS and HFS+ which are the current filesystems used by macOS and Windows. Dont expect to use them long, but copying stuff over works. On the other hand, Windows, macOS (as well as Android and iOS) pretend as if there are only like 3 filesystems out there.

    On Linux you dont even need extensions, you could remove them and they still work. Useful when downloading files from somewhere without an extension, like scraping a PHP website.

  • PT: Peertube, OD: Odyse, YT: Youtube

    English?

    • LearnLinuxTV (YT)
    • Veronica explains (PT)
    • NapoleonTech (OD)
    • Linux Guides (OD) (german but also english)
    • TechHut (OD)

    Lots of content but not learning

    • Brodie Robertson (OD)
    • Nick / The Linux Experiment (PT, OD)
    • Trafotin (OD, a bit on PT)

    Most channels are also on Youtube but these are the google-free platforms. I use grayjay.app for subscribing to all of them. These are just the (few) ones on alternative platforms, there are loads more on googles locked down hell.

    Podcasts idk, learning Linux is kind of hands on and visual, but about linux there are a ton

    • tech over tea

    • lots more german stuff for me
    • lots more that I subscribe to but cant recommend yet XD

  • VideoLAN Publishes Dav2d For Open-Source AV2 Decoder

    Jump

  • AV1 or HEVC (previously) seem to only be uses for high resolution video like 2K.

    As there the difference is biggest, and lacking hardware support is fine.

    I only use AV1 if possible, recent-ish Intel GPUs and phones support it fine.

    Btw, my soon to be EOL Pixel can encode 1080p AV1 at 0,5x speed or so, using svt-av1 (the better, but software, encoder).

    So you need to remove separate snaps per feature? Ok that makes sense? I dont think you need to remove all snaps, or that installing snap would add AI features?

    Think, people...

  • It is surprising how mediocre some filesystem support is. UDF and exFAT (the only universal and windows compatible filesystems with support for big files) both caused files to write but not appear on the disk afterwards. FAT32 doesnt show progress. And more I guess
