If I understand correctly gzip, brotli and similar are best used to compress text.
Compression algos should be used on uncompressed data. Using them on already compressed data (most video, images, music formats) is generally useless.

It’s from an era where everyone just used open standards instead of trying to create their own thing for money.
SMS is literally from a time when every mobile phone manufacturer had their own charger plug. And some tried pushing proprietary headphone jacks.
Vendors LOVE vendor lock-in.
I thought it’s something to do with ducks at first.
Anyone knows the name of the background painting? I like it.


I first read it as “hobbyists” and was very confused.


Yeah, boy was I pleasantly surprised BR2049 was not a shitty cashgrab. On the topic, I’d like a new story in Blade Runner universe with new characters, not related to original movies.


Working from his Twitter handbook, I see.
I am sober and serious.
At least it’s better than Slack and Discord. Still shit of course, but it could be worse.


Twitter currently has $1.5 billion/year deficit which is a lot, even for Musk, to bankroll.
print("x") is you want to screw your students.
Because front camera is not just a feature I’m forced to pay for, despite never using it once in my life, but now it also makes my experience shittier by adding a hole in my screen. I hate that.
Most people don’t care, there’s just a small but sizable subset of people who spend a lot on this shit so here we are.


Not for the seedbox, but for the personal always on VPN I would def prefer something nearshore.


Why? I refuse to believe there’s no location in SA with a decent internet and without DMCA enforcement.


Be ware of using VPN if you want spanish content and wanna join a private tracker; all spanish private tracker ban the use of VPNs
What’s the rationale for that?


In a way, Frieren’s lack of gravitas is refreshing. Usually, when you have elves (which are not just isekai hot babes with long ears), they are at least a little bit haughty, and it makes sense, too: having lived for thousands of years, some acquired pride is to be expected. But Frieren, while undeniably long-lived, and it is reflected in her personality (by relation to time mainly), absolutely does not feel superior to humans. Celebrate her early wake-up by spoon-feeding her? Sure! Carry her like a sack of potatoes? Thank you very much.
My native language does not have a term for “dream job”. I was, at first, quite confused by LinkedIn.
