I didn’t know about otter, I was just starting to look for more since I miss the days of uzbl and all its inspirations. As far as I can tell, qute is the only one that survived

FYI, the new midori looks like a shameless clone of floorp. The only differences I can find are the default bookmarks and that floorp updates faster.

If anything, I would guess probably reddit since it kind of evolved from the early forums where it came from. Twitter has (had?) a much larger userbase though, so that’s not a bad guess either. 🤷‍♂️

Where the hell did you get HTML from? /s is a tag literally made to denote that a given text is sarcastic. It’s one of the few good things to come out of Twitter?

…that is much older than Twitter:

This symbol is an abbreviated version of the earlier /sarcasm, itself a simplification of <\sarcasm>, the form of a humorous XML closing tag marking the end of a “sarcasm” block.

It’s so much more obvious to make a statement sound insane or to use /s.

Also, would most of the world even interpret that emoji as “eye rolling?”

You only interpret ‘\s’ as sarcasm because of html and sarcasm beginning with the letter ‘s’. If you don’t think pictorial eye-rolling ‘looks’ like sarcasm, just consider it almost like hieroglyphs.

How is ESO outsourced? It’s made by a studio within Zenimax that was basically created just for that game.

A non linear fit! Holy shit! Thats the same graph they have on Wikipedia! While I don’t believe you have a degree past high school, your arrogance does match the physicists in grad school. Probably also explains why you think using Mathematica is impressive.

Dude, don’t tell me what I know when you can’t get the terminology right, and can’t bother to remember the name.

Oh wow! You also know how to use mathematica! To reproduce the graph on Wikipedia! I guess that means you know statistamics or whatever the name is.

Now extend your graph to people making below minimum wage. Can.you tell me where all.the tax money is going to come from? It uses calculus though, so hopefully you can be bothered to remember how integrals work (or as you probably call them, integracalc distribution functions)

Learn to read, I said they “come from the top,” not the richest. Below a certain income, we don’t tax so what I said is tautologically true.

I’m familiar with Zipf’s law, and what it means in this case is that if you have a distribution of people sorted by wealth, the wealthy are MUCH wealthier than the poor, or worded in the direction of the law the poorest will have money proportional to the reciprocal of the size of the population. You know what that means? It means the wealthy are THE ONLY GROUP that can bear the tax burden.

The more you insist that I should read a book, the more it sounds like you haven’t read any. But keep talking, eventually you’ll understand the implications of what you’re saying.

come back, and stop criticizing examples

I’ll do that as soon as you define an “inverse function distribution” and give me the name of this “law”.

No matter what amount you scrape from.the top, it won’t make a difference

Patently false. The fact that any taxes work is an obvious counterexample, cause in our progressive tax system they “come from the top”

Please stop! Read a book!

Well you give up quickly. Why don’t you go back and find the name of your law, and then I can give you a reading list.

I’ll do you one better. Even if you take ALL their money, that’s less than 6 months budget.

You’re completely missing the point. There are more than just 3 billionaires in the US. There are more than even 25 billionaires in the US.

You steal it from them, spend it in a few months, and you’re back where you started.

You’re the only one here talking about seizing their entire estate. So sure, your plan is bad, let’s not do it that way.

Like I always say: a bunch of ignorant, uneducated, stupid and entitled teenagers who don’t know anything about the economy want to decide how the economy works.

Dude, you’re talking to two people who are counting billionaires. This weird 'dumb teenager ’ fantasy is all you.

well, the top 25 wealthiest americans are together worth about 1.8 trillion, which according to your clock is just about the federal budget deficit and a third of federal spending. The numbers OP gave assume a tax rate of 3% which is already fairly substantial (it would be 3% of the deficit), but we could always raise that number if you feel fit isn’t enough.

It’s hard to know for sure, but I’m guessing if you’re forcing hevc_nvenc in ffmpeg then handbrake is using libx265. Nvidia’s encoder rips through files, but that speed comes at the cost of bigger file sizes. libx265 uses the cpu so it’ll be much slower, but you’ll probably see files 30% smaller. As for audio, you could always try -c:a copy as an option for ffmpeg. I don’t actually use handbrake myself, so I don’t know how to directly copy streams.

As a side note, if you don’t need to worry about licensing issues mp4 will compress much better than mkv.

i didn’t necessarily mean copyright holders could find you, i just meant you’re still at the mercy of the host (unless that host is you)

there are already many forges hosted through i2p, I imagine the same can be said for tor. That doesn’t mean the host can’t ban you there as well though.

We have a cat that came from the breeder knowing how to play fetch. But more than that, he’s also very energetic and we don’t always have the time to play with him. One day I was particularly lazy, and instead of throwing stuff around the house I was just tossing the ball to him high in the air. Not only did he get that we were now playing “catch”, but later on I found him gripping the ball in his mouth and “flicking” it up in the air. Now, when he knows we can’t play with him, he essentially plays catch with himself.

This is exactly my experience as well. Same inciting incident.
