Since it’s an old acer netbook with an Intel atom cpu it is highly unlikely it has any hardware decoding built in.

I know that it’s not their fault, it’s the small size of the team
This part is directly Telegram's fault. If they cannot keep up with their moderation queue then they need a bigger moderation team. Preferably properly remunerated. There are news reports about how Facebook's sub-contracted moderators work for these extremely shitty companies who track them based on how many reviews a minute they do, and which causes extreme psychological damage to the workers both because of the extreme content they have to see as part of their jobs and the bad working conditions they must put up with.

The only charitable read of this is the end-user bypassing controls on company-supplied computers.
Of course that doesn't mean that they won't also shove secure boot, hw lockouts, DRM, etc on regular consumer laptops as well.

Try running a command like vulkaninfo --summary.
Then try running VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json vulkaninfo --summary (alternatively, just try running whatever else it is you use that reports you only have lavapipe available). See if there's a difference and if it finally reports the hardware being used.

I'm not a Mint user but according to this page https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_wilma.php
- Run the Driver Manager
- Choose the NVIDIA drivers and wait for them to be installed
- Reboot the computer

Vulkan drivers come as part of Mesa, which would already be part of Linux Mint. Unless you have an Nvidia GPU, or a GPU that's somehow too modern for Mint 21.3.

Hell yeah to those websites that still publish RSS feeds, though
For many, many years now when I want to browse a man page about something I'll type `man X` into my terminal, substituting X for whatever it is I wish to learn about. Depending on the manual, it's short and therefore easy to find what I want, or I am deep in the woods because I'm trying to find a specific flag that appears many times in a very long document. Woe is me if the flag switch is a bare letter, like `x`. And let's say it is x. Now I am searching with `/x` followed by `n n n n n n n n N n n n n n`. Obviously I'm not finding the information I want, the search is literal (not fuzzy, nor "whole word"), and even if I find something the manual pager might overshoot me because finding text will move the found line to the top of the terminal, and maybe the information I really want comes one or two lines above. So... there HAS to be a better way, right? There has to be a modern, fast, easily greppable version to go through a man page. Does it exist? P.S. I am not talking about summaries like `tldr` because I typically don't need summaries but actual technical descriptions.

Does anyone know how to determine the level of grain synth used in an encoded video? I have .webms that I've encoded with ffmpeg and svt-av1 but I don't have that grain synth information anymore. In fact it would be nice if I could just see any other information about an encoded video (rate factor, preset used, etc). These details don't appear when using `mediainfo` so I presume they are lost and unknowable. But grain synth occurs at decode time, so that should still be something I can figure out, right?
Archive link. https://archive.is/N4Rqj Some personal editorializing: This is a pretty remarkable first because of how captive we Americans are to pharma prices. Famously, when Medicare Part D was brought into existence by law it restricted the federal government from negotiating Part D drug prices. To me, shopping for drugs in Canada is tackling the symptom and ignores the cause. I wonder if this gets more traction with more states how it might affect drug prices in Canada, too. The real solution to all this, of course, would be nationalize the healthcare industry in all aspects and to create a single payer healthcare system.

The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.

I think with the weight of Apple finally behind AV1 it is as blessed of a format as anything can be. Sisvel be damned. > And, a new media engine now includes support for AV1 decode, providing more efficient and high-quality video experiences from streaming services. I do not see AV1 encode support on this chip's announcement, however.

There are a lot of good improvements and fixes in this release. As a remorseful Nvidia on Linux user, I am extremely excited that GAMMA_LUT is finally making its debut in the Nvidia driver. This means I can actually try to use Gnome Wayland at night with the night shift feature, assuming other Wayland issues are also resolved.
Say I define different contexts or workspaces. So in my address bar I can type `work` and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword. Then I can type `bored` and it will open up my 4 defined pages associated to that keyword. I am NOT asking about pinning pages to the start/home page, and I am NOT asking about loading websites when Firefox starts up (because I don't want to always load the same things every time I launch ffox). I am also not asking about pinning tabs.
tl;dr question: How do I get the Handbrake Flatpak to operate at a high niceless level in its own cgroup by default? I'm using Fedora Linux. --- So if I understand things correctly, niceness in Linux affects how willing the process scheduler is to preempt a process. However, with cgroups, niceness only affects this scheduling relative to other processes within a cgroup. This means a process running with a high niceness in its own cgroup has the same priority as other processes in equivalent cgroups, and it will not in fact be preempted in a way one would expect. So why does this matter to me at all? I have a copy of Handbrake installed from Flatpak. And sometimes I want to encode a video in the background while still having a decently responsive desktop experience so I can do other things, and basically let Handbrake occupy the cpu cycles I'm not using. Handbrake and the video encoding process should be at the bottom priority of everything to the maximum extent possible. But it does not appear to be enough to just go into htop and set the handbrake process's niceness level to 19 and then start an encode, because of the cgroup business I mentioned above. Furthermore, in my opinion Handbrake should always be the lowest priority process without my having to intervene. I would like to be able to launch it without having to set its niceness. Does anybody have suggestions on this? Is my understanding of the overall picture even correct?
