I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again (ludic.mataroa.blog)
Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?
I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don’t notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don’t have a screen that can display...

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?
So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever.

I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite everything in Rust. (youtu.be)
I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite the world in Rust. I will rewrite the world in Rust because the world is unsafe. As I am the Rust programmer I will keep writing rust until the world is safe. After the world is safe, I will not rewrite it in Rust. Because I am the Rust programmer I will retire from programmer in Rust....

Why aren't more releases x265?
Nearing the filling of my 14.5TB hard drive and wanting to wait a bit longer before shelling out for a 60TB raid array, I’ve been trying to replace as many x264 releases in my collection with x265 releases of equivalent quality. While popular movies are usually available in x265, less popular ones and TV shows usually have...
