... you're a cat. What makes you think your owner would let you get your penis anywhere near her?

P.S. look up what male cat penises are like.

>you wake up
>discover you're a cat now
>your owner is the woman of your dreams
What do you do?

Are you spying on my PC usage? First you move to my distro of choice, and now by browser?! What gives?

Cats will even try to cure your internet addiction. They're so caring.

He's too good for her. I'd suggest he dump her ass in the gutter, but I fear for the possibility he got attached to the kid.

Has anyone tried the btrfs driver for Windows?

I have an external HDD I use for backups and other stuff that I want to be cross-platform (Linux & Windows). For now I'm using exFAT on it, because drivers for it on Linux improved recently. But I trust anything FAT with data security even less than NTFS. And since I mainly write on the drive from Linux, btrfs would be a good alternative if Windows can reliably read from it and occasionally write small stuff too.

The next big video codec to gain mainstream attention won't be open source/patent free, no matter how good it is. Even if av1 is significantly better than h266 (or whatever comes after h265) it won't matter if av1 doesn't get the lobbying behind it.

@icedquinn
All video codecs have motion prediction to some degree. Maybe AV1 has a different algorithm that is better, but that's a basic video codec feature since divx/xvid days (it's what causes that weird color smear glitch when video gets corrupted).

As for flexible chunking, I don't think that's a new thing either, although I might be confusing what it's referring to. Haven't looked into video codecs for so long, that I've forgotten some of the jargon.

@icedquinn @xyfdi
Haven't checked it recently either, but I think it's considered completeable (meaning you should be able to finish main storyline without problems)

@icedquinn
h265 and whatever comes after it are probably both shit. I remember trying to read into what h265 had different over h264, and it was mostly how big the grid of pixels that it was analyzing was, and how it would merge them as a single color if they were close enough. Basically h265 compresses 4k video better by creating more blockiness than h264. Not impressive at all.

@xyfdi @icedquinn
Daggerfall Unity is quite an achievement, especially for a dev team of 1. But OpenMW is still more awesome imo, especially with the multiplayer mod.

@icedquinn
Faster than vp9 is good (by any margin), but only 30% smaller than h265 is not that impressive for 2x slower. Not impressive for me anyway, because h265 itself is not an amazing benchmark to compare against.

@icedquinn
Second question, is AV1 actually that much better than h265 or even h264 to where the encoding slowdown is worth it?
I've checked out h265 a few times, and every time the slowdown compared to h264 was ridiculous and not worth it for most content. Whereas, h264 was so good compared to it's predecessor divx/xvid, that it's worth using at even crazy low resolutions.
