So Persona 3/4/5 fell to the hands of the infamous localiser that wrote 'big brudder' in Higurashi. Surprised this wasn't mentioned anywhere here. Guess Naoto is trans now... (oh fuck, better not alert the 'transbian anarcho-communist Twitter brigade' to this thread, then again zoomers have allergic reactions to forums...) |

That, and it's a sprite graphic so it isn't completely buggered by compression. Nevertheless, the hypocrisy is somewhat amusing. Oh, and if WebP doesn't support camera metadata the way a JPEG does then it's fucking pointless it existing... as for 'lossy compression with an alpha channel', I can't even begin to imagine the shitshow that's going to ensue. It just intrigues me how it's taken Google ten years to push for it, probably some weird patent shit or whatever. As for WebM/VPx, I just don't get why MP4/AVC isn't used everywhere considering that well, VPx is a resource hog that uses up so much CPU on even a good system. (Other than of course, Stallmanists and those who can't be arsed to pay the royalties for using the codecs in a commercial environment, the latter of which matters almost nowhere to ordinary people. Then again, one positive thing about WebM is that it fucks over anyone using an Apple device, so maybe there's some genuine merit in using WebM exclusively.) |

Not to mention that there's the fact nothing actually works/is properly supported on macOS anymore because post-10.11 has broken things constantly for no good reason too. (Merging the dev teams for iOS and MacOS was the worst idea ever, literal Windows 10-tier QA now.) WINE/Proton seems like the way to go. If something doesn't work in it, well, the developers can fuck themselves for not taking into account that people don't want to have to be confined to a specific piece of shit and it's becoming a somewhat more common concern, surprisingly. A lot of people only hang onto Windows for gaming or some weird thing that doesn't work in WINE properly (and would run poorly in a VM since any NT 6 based OS runs godawful in a VM) |

Yeah, the Master System and Mega Drive box art both had that grid-like backdrop on them ^-^ I'm not too well versed in pop culture from that time, probably because it's not high on my radar of things to be interested in (only really games, PCs, internet culture, anime and music, sorry!) so yeah... |

News: 0.6 beta 1 released the other day, over 2000+ commits since the last stable release. And guess what, lots more systems too, including the RF5C68 from the Mega-CD :D |

The post help toolbar doesn't respect themes properly for whatever reason. It also looks weird because it's not aligned with the rest of the tables nor is there a space between it and the thread review. online.php also doesn't respect the user's choice of date/time format (always using d-m-y H:i:s, which is even stranger considering the rest of the board exclusively uses m-d-y h:i A unless the user chose to override it, including when you register an account for the first time.) The FAQ still mentions 'new reply fields' which aren't there anymore. If I remember correctly, recalculating the board statistics resets the last post date as though >>6507 wasn't in the code, which is interesting. |

Posted by tomman He removed some stuff over the years - there used to be some anti-IE/MS propagandic banners of more offensive kinds (with Nazi symbols and the likes), the wording in general has been toned down a bit in places, and there used to be Doom MIDIs plastered all over the page which in all honesty I find fucking hilarious. I guess for the first two he realised the modern day Internet don't take too kindly to usage of certain words or usage of historical symbols regardless of context or the time they were written; so sanitised the pages somewhat to avoid Twitter/Discord users giving him shit for no reason... as for the removal of the DOOM MIDIs (and not just simply replacing them with MP3s) I imagine the fact literally nothing allows autoplaying audio anymore can be to blame for that. |

I can't wait for the 'Japan-does-everything-better' elitists all over 4chan and Twitter to start saying that it's 'an anime adaptation of a Western work' or something like that as their latest excuse to try to call it 'not a true anime series' or something... Wish I wasn't so goddamn terrible at sticking to things, it's to the point I don't watch anything anymore, because I'm not only so airheaded when watching to the point of missing obvious things that are about to happen but I end up not watching for weeks/months for seemingly no reason. :p |

So, the latest. OpenSUSE doesn't ship with libx264 and I couldn't get it to appear in the list of packages, despite it being on their website and my config having non-'GNU-approved' stuff in it. Shame, because it's actually a really solid distro otherwise. (I'd rather not compile from source on a Celery N2840, and I tried to get the x264 libraries to work using a third party repo, and it wouldn't have it.) The shit part about all this? YouTube is a cunt and for some reason doesn't encode everything in WEBM as a fallback. It seems to pick and choose with a seemingly random basis. That, and for some reason, RetroArch recording configuration not only seems to be allergic to using 'libtheora' (I know I know, it's old codec), but crashes because the fallback is libx264. So I guess this isn't even an issue with web video alone at this stage... |

The thing is the H.264 licence specifically states it's fine in a non-commercial environment... that's what makes the situation even more dumb to me :P I'll probably be switching to a Win8.0/Debian Stable dual-boot or something. I still need a recentish version of Windows, and 7's battery management is not a patch on 8's, so I'd rather use that. |

Well, I can't tell if that's a sigh of relief, or a sign of evil. cue E1M8 music Then again, Red Hat isn't exactly a piece of shit company, their employees have contributed a lot to Linux over the years (the excellent virt-manager front end for QEMU comes to mind), he just stained it the whole time he was there. Given his ideologies, he'll fit right in with the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish philosophy of Microshaft :D (Yeah I know, I use Discord... if only I could avoid it somehow, though I doubt anyone in there would be particularly willing to move elsewhere, most of the people in there aren't particularly 'technical' if that makes sense) |

Oh, interesting. What would you personally recommend for delivery of video/uploading content in to a video platform, then? On a somewhat related note, I wish I knew of a YouTube alternative that wasn't y'know, geared towards political activists or whatever... I've heard things about BitChute suspending accounts of people who aren't within the popular opinion over there, which kind of defeats the point of a politically neutral platform, unfortunately (particularly as I don't even intend to upload anything political or shoehorn politics in in any way, I just don't want random outside crap somehow influencing a ban). I remember VidLii, aka drama central that was dominated by a bunch of retro-tech obsessed far-left zoomers who now all have about 3,000-60,000 followers on Twitter and a ton of Discord orbiters. I'm somewhat glad I was alienated from everyone who typically gained respect either side of the political two-tone that the internet is these days. |

I'd selfhost if I had a web server capable of delivering big files consistently for sure, because people are indeed lazy. Obviously providing a means of downloading the video for offline purposes instead of trying to obscure it. (Determined people will find a way around anything, all they're doing is putting obstacles in front because mobile users are brainless.) |
