Which convertible / tablet can you guys recommend?

I am looking for a replacement for my laptop.

It should run smooth. I don't run games on it. It's for writing prose and analysis with vscodium.

Microsoft surface go?

Flatpaks aren't huge at all. This is a debunked myth. I can't recommend reading this article enough.

On another forum there are sticky weekly posts where people can write about X, like in our case it could be:

Share your story of how you met your distro

  • How is it going so far?
  • What surprised you positively?
  • What difficulties did you have?

Does someone have a script that converts all videos files from 264 to 265 and changes the name?

Even an attempt at it would be appreciated

looks like I will not convert anything at all.

It is definitely not worth converting x264, even less x265, to av1, if you are the only consumer. Just think about it. To get any "significant" space gains, while keeping a close to original quality (you will inevitably lose some detail), you need to spend maybe at least 3-4x more time encoding than the actual total video length, probably more, maybe 5x. Taking an average of 3GB/hour, 2TB is about 650 hours. x5 that's like 3250 hours. An 8 core ryzen will have like 150W total system load encoding av1. 3250h * 0.15 kWh =~ 500 kWh. 500 kWh * 0.15$/kWh (I took an optimistic electricity cost for these days, might be a lot more depending where you live) = $75 in electricity costs. Setting encodes, moving files around, will also take up some significant amount of time. You will gain maybe 1TB, if compressing audio to opus as well, less than that you will have significant video quality losses. 1TB of hdd space is worth $15 these days. And you don't waste time/electricity+money/video quality.

So it's only worth to get existing published encodes of the material you own, of if you are planning on publishing yourself. Or just for fun, if you want to experiment and encode one movie to see what's the best you can get out of av1.

You can develop apps in a text editor. We don't do it because we've got better tools. Text editor work but developer focused IDE's work much better and are very convenient.

it may encrypt your password but using kdbx files are much more convenient, efficient, etc.

Why is there #Mastodon and #Pixelfed?

On pixelfed there's only images but you can filter mastodon for images. Why would I make two profiles and when do I post which image to which platform?

Tldr: Yes, still secure and private.

Is that a firefox issue? That looks like the context menu that's used on the whole system

Cool app at first glance!

I always wonder why some open source projects choose discord and not matrix?

[-] beta_tester@lemmy.ml 51 points 2 years ago

That's why you don't need to install another one 😘

If you want every tab to have its own session use temporary containers

I expected a discussion about linux from the title not about which windows version.

Does that mean I should stop recommending people fedora with gnome?

I'm still confused about its future

[-] beta_tester@lemmy.ml 56 points 3 years ago

It sounds more like someone thinks reddit's r/place is cool but doesn't want to support reddit and wants to have it for lemmy. And most importantly, the person brings it to lemmy.

Although it's just a copy, it's something fun where you can create something cool. And I celebrate OP for creating this. Count me in.

Hoe much is the penalty for this?
