Certainly more than the Romans have done for us.

Well what about the roads? Oh and the aqueducts!

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 year ago

I mean, apart from the sanitation, education, and medicine... Oh, and don't forget the wine! They did give us that, too!

Just remember Wine Is Not an Emulator!

[-] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I wish there was an acronym for me to remember that...

[-] Lem453@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I only use gnu aquaducts. Mine are arch btw.

Remember what the city used to be like?

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website -1 points 1 year ago

Oh and the aqueducts!

The ones we're investing tons of money to replace to remove the lead?

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

The xylospongium!

I knew peertube but never used it before. I was very surprised to be able to watch 1080@60fps at x2 speed totally smoothly, while with youtube I have to reduce to 720@30fps and even then it still hogs the cpu.

[-] JRepin@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah same here. Not to mention that recently they started nagging you a lot when using ad-blocker. And not to mention all the Google spyware going on on Youtube

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's just me but a few months ago, it seems youtube got much heavier. My laptop fans ramp when using it almost every time

[-] gnate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've noticed that ublock will sometimes be blocking 1,000+ scripts while on YouTube. That's gotta have an effect of all those are active.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Well 1000 script requests, since they're being blocked. It's not actually 1000 unique scripts.

I hope

[-] pbjamm@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Probably all the new ad-blocking blocking, telemetry, and data harvesting.

I wasn't able to run it at 480p for more than 5-6 seconds without it buffering. I have gigabit fiber.

Guess it'll depend on who's providing the video at any given time. It's peer to peer, after all

[-] aluminium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hardware accelerated video decoding exists for a reason.

While I appreciate the effort to make a video, it would be nice to have some text bullet points.

I am interested, but watching videos for information is always a huge ~~waste~~ sink of time.

Edit: changed waste, as I thought that wasn't true, I meant to say it simply takes more time than reading.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
