    Are you suggesting we treat North Koreans like indigenous people in Ukraine?

    Why would any country allow soldiers of another to "do their own thing" within their borders?

    That's a good idea. They could probably do something similar for the audio.

    They'd have to code around the rest of the animation and audio effects, but the size of that code would certainly be smaller than the rendered audio and video.

    Video codecs mostly work by tracking movement, predicting which pixels will change, and striving to only encode the pixels that actually change or change dramatically. In other words, compression looks for patterns.

    All of that goes out the window when you try to compress static. There are no patterns. It simply can't be compressed. This isn't a matter of the algorithms not being good enough. It's a fundamental limit of information theory.

    Anything fancier amounts to embedding the intro into the compressor as a well-known pattern. And at that point, you're better off just caching a 4K version of the intro as a standalone video file directly in the app.

  • TIL of the continent "Zealandia", a large, mostly submerged continent in the Pacific Ocean which New Zealand is a part of.

    I think the reason Zealandia is called a "submerged continent" is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.

    But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.

    For the major continents, we have these plates:

    • North American
    • South American
    • Eurasian
    • African
    • Australian
    • Antarctic

    There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.

    There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.

    New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.

  • Calls for J.D. Vance to resign after he admits that he 'created' pet-eating story about immigrants

    I'm not sure there is anything illegal about making up these stories.

    Edit: All these down votes are just wishful thinking. JD Vance is a piece of shit, but he hasn't done anything illegal. (That's not to say he hasn't done anything wrong, because he totally has.)

    There's JD Vance.

    There's Ron DeSantis.

    There's Jim Jordan.

    There's Matt Gaetz.

    There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.

    Part of it is the community. I really like the OpenWRT community, but it's harder to engage with them when you run a downstream distribution.

    But also I'm a bit of a hacker (in the traditional sense). I like to experiment with custom builds of OpenWRT. (And FWIW, their build system uses the same menuconfig as Linux.)

    I love my Turris Omnia!

    I got the one with the WiFi 6 card. The cool thing is that you can easily open it up and replace parts.

    I run the upstream OpenWRT rather than the customized version by Turris. They are good about submitting patches upstream.

    From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No "normal" users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you're not using some random poster's program from reddit.

    For a concrete cap, I'd say 256 tebibytes...

    GBoard (Google's keyboard for Android) has a GIF entry feature. Sync properly uploads the GIF from GBoard to my Lemmy instance, but the GIF does not play in the comments, and clicking on it returns an error "image was actually a web page!" For the record, they're not technically GIFs. GBoard uploads the image as WebM. This seems like a user journey that should be supported. Android users who use Google's keyboard to input a GIF comment would expect it to work or throw an error at upload time. Instead, Sync allows us to submit such comments, but they are broken upon viewing. **Device information** Sync version: v23.11.29-22:27 Sync flavor: googlePlay Ultra user: true View type: Smaller cards Device: ASUS_AI2302 Model: asus ASUS_AI2302 Android: 14

    Do people intentionally disconnect mid battle? I've seen a ton of DCs, both early in the game and late. It really hurts my enjoyment of the game. Like, even if we're getting smoked, I'd rather stick around and work as a team to the end. I mean, it's only a couple minutes. And a DC counts as a loss anyway. It's really frustrating to see all of these DCs. Are people really rage quitting, or is it just bad networking? **Edit:** I just got Splatoon 3 for Christmas, but I'm a veteran of the series. Rage quitting did not seem to be as big of a problem in the previous two games.

    Pittsburgh Synagogue Trial-Jury Votes for Death Penalty in Antisemitic Attack

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2548457 > The judge is required to follow the jury’s decision. Here’s what to know. > > A federal jury on Wednesday condemned to death the gunman who killed 11 worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October 2018, in what is considered the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. > > The jury’s decision, which is binding on the judge, was announced Wednesday in the same federal courtroom where the jurors in June convicted the gunman, Robert Bowers, 50, of carrying out the massacre during sabbath services nearly five years ago. The judge will formally impose the sentence at a hearing on Thursday morning, when families of some victims are expected to address the court. > > In a statement, the family of two victims — Rose Mallinger, a 97-year-old member of the Tree of Life congregation who was killed in the attack, and Andrea Wedner, her daughter, who was wounded — thanked the jury. “Although we will never attain closure from the loss of our beloved Rose Mallinger, we now feel a measure of justice has been served,” the statement read. > > Jurors deliberated for just under 10 hours before reaching the verdict.
