That’s not entirely true. You can get a universal mouse license that will cover up to twenty approved mouse changes.

FOSS needs more people like you. Thanks for your contributions.

Shell scripts were a mistake.

I understand 1000% but I’m not sure I agree. With the peevishness of C and latent autism of assembly, something compiled or otherwise binary isn’t always simple and straightforward. Sometimes, you have a task that only needs to be done three times, and just replaying the commands is sufficient.

sh, ash, and bash are all kinda dumb. Absolutely. But there are other shells that are significantly better. csh and zsh are both great. ksh has some history on it but is good too. But “shell scripts” don’t have to be in your shell language. The hashbang line will let you make a command file and so long as you can describe the command line you can get most shells to run it. Be that language line noise perl or python or even go.

Free for now. If they wanted to let you keep using it for free they would have said so in the notices.

If you keep using it they’ll keep thinking you’re a possible income source.

It’s fine. I moved to gitlab years ago for 2fa, so while this doesn’t affect me I would be entirely ok with normal 2fa.

It is normal, right? Not a weird Microsoft 2fa requiring their app?

This gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Lies!

It was a silly hat.

Shit, sensitivity training works. Please don’t show this to my HR team…

I’m more of a fan of responding in kind. Manners may cost nothing, but so does clear communication.

I have some comments based on personal experiences with GPU av1 encoding: you will always end up with either larger or worse output with GPU encoding because currently all the encoders have a frame deadline. It will only try for so long to build frame data. This is excellent when you are transcoding live. You can ensure that you hit generation framerate goals that way. If you disable the frame deadline, it’s much much slower.

Meanwhile CPU encoders don’t have this because CPU is almost never directly used in transcoding. And even with a frame deadline the output would still not be at the same speed as the GPU. However the CPU encoders will get frames as small as you ask for.

So if you need a fast transcode of anything, GPU is your friend. If you’re looking for the smallest highest quality for archival, CPU reference encoders are what’s needed.

By selling them and buying something more useful.

Nice try, FBI

A huge part of that is season 1 of FLCL is two decades and entire production companies apart. It’s likely entirely down to a matter of how difficult it is to get rights for anime. Cartoon network was involved in the two new HD seasons, and is much easier to deal with that Gainax.

Nice try, Paul’s producers.

You can’t. They’re never safe. But you aren’t downloading a crack to be safe, are you? Use a sandbox to examine what it does, trust that it’s safe, or don’t use it.

Statistically though, cracks are safer than the software they’re for though. Hope that helps.

How dare you take jesus out of my culturally appropriated pagan celebration!

Not really, have you met people? Sometimes the distance of an internet connection is required to interact socially without crippling anxiety. At least here girls are getting paid to help these people instead of them going out and trying it in the outside.

I actually wait until most of my friends are online to start playing Orc Massage. Why would I hide that?

23 years in and I don’t think that there is better advice here. Listen. Practice. Experiment.

If it’s something you want to get good at, do it as a hobby. Pick projects that you don’t know entirely how to do. Adversity is a better teacher than anything else I’ve run into.

Learn other languages too. I learned more about C from a year of rust than two decades of C.

Rust. Everything is eventually becoming crabs.
