Grandma choosing USE flags already, get that bloat outta here

What would that be? Microsoft Edge is a Chromium browser, it can’t do more with webpages than Chrome or any other of the bunch can.

Oh and Edge is available for Linux, so there’s that. Not that I’d use it…

Kind of my main gripe with YouTube repost bots here. In the end, you’re using someone else’s bandwidth and storage, you should respect their wishes. Alternatives like Peertube exist and should be used more instead of finding ways to make a website be less shitty.

Also looking into Owncast, platform effects are real but they’re not gonna go away if people just keep using exactly these services.

Very first paragraph:

The first really good video codec was MPEG-4 H.264. I remember in 2001 my housemate watching a movie on his telly — playing off a CD-R. A whole movie crammed onto a CD, encoded with DivX!

DivX was an implementation of MPEG-4 ASP, also known as H.263. H.264 came much later with x264 being the most well-known encoder (hence its name).

ASP in my opinion never got the biggest chance to shine with regards to quality because the target medium was often the CD which limited file size to 700MB, and once DVDs became an option, people went back to MPEG-2 because that’s what the players were all compatible with. Sometimes even (S)VCDs were used still. Standalone players with ASP support came rather later.
