Here is that image you posted, but with manually-written alt text added.
(I don’t usually do this when adding alt tags but in this case I also added the same text as a title/tooltip to make it also easy to read for users without a screen reader. Apologies to screen reader users that this probably causes you to hear the description twice.)
it was about this photograph
Of course I went to the wikipedia article to get a link the actual image to post here, but, to answer your question: yes I did in fact remember what the photo looks like without looking it up.
I’d forgotten that the term was coined by Mike Masnick, though.
your commitment to the bit is truly laudable 🤣
how about we just try it first

To anyone who thinks they know JS well and that its quirkiness is not a problem, let me know how you do on these quizzes:
1·13 days agono transcoding quality loss
is jellyfin actually transcoding when people don’t want it to?!
otherwise, “no transcoding” doesn’t sound like a feature. transcoding is very useful when you actually need it, eg watching something remotely which is stored at a higher bitrate than your network connection can stream. one way to do it with mpv is ffmpegfs, btw.
(fellow mpv user here; i’ve only used other people’s jellyfin instances… but i’d be very surprised if they’re always unnecessarily transcoding everything they watch.)

I’m curious, did you read about Don Chafin before posting this comment?

i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a “conductor’s coal” scent, though.
Important context!
They had to change this because newer laws like the CCPA classify some ways of transferring/processing data as a “sale”, even if no money is exchanged.
What? No. Do you really think their “sharing” with “partners” who are “providing sponsored suggestions” doesn’t involve money being exchanged? 🤔
Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:
The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because […] to make Firefox commercially viable […] we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar
All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) “LEGAL definition” of “sale” is imo insulting to the reader.
it works for me. did you forget to pay your git bill?
that's six by my count
