I remember getting a 2 GB hard drive and thinking I’ll never be able to fill it up. Now I have video files more then 10 times that size

90th percentile means it performed equal or better than 90% of the comparisons, no? Not that it got 90% score.

Why is it that the url ends in .JPG but when I right click and save image I can only save it as a .webp?

Paprika. I haven’t used anything else aside from having a folder of word documents.

Paprika allows you to copy/paste the URL of a recipe and it will download only the recipe. No more scrolling through a blog and a dozen ads looking for what you want. You can then create categories and tag recipes for any combination of categories.

It also has extra functions like meal planners, pantry inventory, and shopping list generators based on the meal plan and pantry, but I don’t use those.

It syncs between devices. The only real downside is you must purchase per platform type. If you bought the windows licence and you want it on your phone you must separately purchase the Android licence.

They don’t need to release it as open source. They could just do what games used to do, have a server executable so people can host their own sessions.

That’s a shame. I was keen on cp77 ever since its teaser trailer, but the troubles at launch made me wait. I still haven’t played it because it still doesn’t seem like a stable project.

I think what I really want is another good Deus Ex.

How does your music server work?

Comments like this sound like the “they write it off on tax” comments, where there’s this assumption about how complex things must work, but it can’t work exactly that way otherwise we would see it happening all the time.

I don’t know enough about law to know how that does or does not work, but it that’s possible then any entity with enough money can actively bankrupt anyone they want, and it won’t have anything to do with why. If that’s true could you not just sue someone by making stuff up and force them to prove you made it up?

Did the admins state anything? I thought the issue here is that LW previously did something without an announcement, undid it and promised to communicate before doing something like that again, and now people are saying they haven’t communicated this time.

That’s the real issue, not the fact that it was defederated.

You could list your accounts in priority, and the highest account that has access to the post you’re reading will be responsible for the vote.

Copyright laws are actually very difficult to enforce when it comes to digital piracy. You have to prove loss of profit among other things.

Then, who do you sue? The person downloading the product? The person hosting the product? The person providing a link to the hosted data? The person providing a platform for people to link things? The person who allows their platform to federate with another platform that does?

If we’re talking about P2P sharing, then in a way no one is hosting the data.

In Australia when the Dallas Buyers Club case was being looked at, the studio was asking for a lot of money. Basically a big fat fine to be paid. The judge threw it out saying that the only reasonable damages for one person to pay would be the cost of the DVD because that was the value of the “theft”.

I guess the question is: if you host a public forum, are you liable for things posted on it, or on separate but linked forums?

I did the whole Stargate franchise, including Infinity.

My advice is to do what I did. Rip the discs to your hard drive to remove the cd rom as a speed bottleneck. Then start doing tests at different bit rates until you are happy with the quality:size ratio. From season 4 onwards there’s audio commentaries that are worth keeping, so don’t forget to include that audio track as well as any language and subtitles you’d like to keep.

Good luck, have fun. It took me ages to work through it in my free time, but I’m glad I did. Also, from season 8 onwards, there are HD versions of SG-1 that were never released on home video that you may as well find a download of.

Are you thinking of the 1998 American Godzilla film?

Depends on how you watched it. The DVDs that were being released were in 16:9. Depending on what country you were in, the DVDs sometimes came out before the later seasons were aired on a channel you could access, if at all.

The fact that other series can be re-released in HD is due the fact they are filmed on actual film, which was the point I was making clear.

SG-1 was meant to be seen in 16:9

SG1 was shot in film and mastered in 16:9. 16mm in the first 3 seasons, 35mm 3-7, and then they moved to digital HD cameras season 8 onwards.

Many shows from the 90s were [edit: shot on film]. That’s why you can get a widescreen HD release of Seinfeld, among others.

You are suggesting that piracy eventually leads to profit. That’s not a definition of piracy.

I am saying piracy is obtaining a digital product in an unauthorised manner to avoid paying for the product.

I am ambivalent to piracy. I think it’s a common factor and it is up to content producers to combat it. I am familiar with the studies you’ve linked, but that’s not the topic I’m discussing.
