How can modern video/audio codecs such as AV1 and Opus deliver high quality at lower bitrates?
I’ve always known that AV1 and Opus are more efficient than HEVC/VP9 and MP3/Vorbis, but exactly how is this achieved? Is it just a matter of more efficient compression?
When people setup two factor authentication on an account on sites that allow it and insert a phone number, does that site assume by default that it's their own number or do they see it as "a" number?
I ask inspired by experiences with Google. Google/YouTube, for as long as I can remember, always had a strange habit of assuming absolutely anyone even near to you is you. Back when I had my first YouTube account (which was also back when I was in a completely different part of the world), for the last few years of having it, it...

Why does markdown always format bullets wrong?
I’ve noticed this on a lot of places that use Markdown. The bullet points have more space above than they do below. This makes it confusing visually because it looks like the text is associated with the item below, even though logically it should be related to the item above....
What is the best way to clean burnt-on splatters from a chrome oven without damaging the chrome?
Hey everyone, I’ve got a chrome oven (Moulinex Optimo OX4848) with some seriously stubborn burnt-on food splatters that just won’t budge. I’ve tried degreaser (KH-7) and scrubber sponge, steel sponge scrubber, and even a sanding block. The sanding block was working, but I heard it might damage the chrome plating, leading...
When playing Super Mario Bros I ignore my job, and vice-versa. That's two realities, oblivious to each other. What separates them?

Why do jazz musicians rarely release music videos?
If you search YouTube for fresh music videos from jazz bands, you will find very few of them. Why?
How do I create a post with a link AND a picture
Sorry if this has been asked before, but every time I try to create a post it seems like Lemmy will accept one or the other, not both. Yet other posts do this. What’s the process to include an image when I post a link?
Community for helping people identify music?
I’ve been trying to find the name of a song from The Grand Tour on Amazon, but there’s only a few seconds of music and none of the Shazam-like applications can identify it. Is there a Lemmy community for helping people identify music? If anyone is curious about the song, I’m linking it below:...

How did red arise as a lucky colour in Asia even amongst different cultures/religions?
In Chinese culture, red is a lucky colour; it’s often used for gift giving or weddings. Similarly in Hinduism, red is considered lucky (as far as I’ve read) and brides wear red at their weddings. The only commonality I can see between Indian culture and Chinese culture (in terms of beliefs) is Buddhism, is it because of this...
How can i know whether a website is a part of the fediverse?
Is there an easy way to see if something is an instance or community on the fediverse, or ‘just’ a forum on the web? For instance, would it always be mentioned in a sidebar? I know there are lists of instances, but i am hoping for something easier. I might be overlooking something glaringly obvious, but i thought i would...
Is there a community for lost lems? lemurs? lemmys?
I have stuff I’d like to post, but I can’t find the appropriate community to post to. So is there like a “hey I have no clue where to post this” type of community where the general lemmy public could point you in the right direction?...

What's up with the end-to-end encryption notification all over the whatsapp?
