Copy pasting my other reply about the same thing:

I would argue that BSD licensing keeps projects more free of corporate influence if started by hobbyists.

Corpo forks BSD/Apache/whatever software, doesn't publish source, nerds don't use it and look for the original, the end.

Corpo forks copyleft software, publishes releases on GutHib with literal zip files in the repo semi annually. Original maintainer gets taunted with "but the corpo one has feature X, the code is free, you should use it". If they don't merge it, they get labeled an egoist and people go use the corporate one. If they do merge it, eventually the entire project gets bloated and barely readable, is held together by @redhat.com patches, and eventually all development is just corporate decisions. There's no escape.

You know, we are all victims of it ourselves. I am using Firefox rn. There was little to no "conversion" as they started out corporate. They have patches merged from the Tor people for actual privacy, although removed from the settings because "meh, nobody would want that" (sponsors would disapprove). The privacy they are marketing for normies is a list of like 20 domains.

Yeah uh so we are very private by default, there's no google tracking but if a site loads an ad or a youtube embed there's google tracking, also we block embeds for privacy except specifically youtube.

It's all corporate decisions. While I don't use the specific variant(s) and didn't observe it, I once saw the Firefox home page on someone else's device. It was football stats followed by "sponsored links". I thought it was Edge for a second.

And there's no escape. Web pages are no longer actual pages oftentimes, they are fat blobs of 3 language conversions on top of each other targeting only the specific 3 (sometimes 2) big brand web browsers as the backend: Firefox, Chromium and Apple's Webkit fork. They are all corporate. The fat blob generators are also corporate.

I counter: !fuckcars@lemmy.world

I already use the former to describe the sound unambiguously.

Also, we need ɨ.

ɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨɨ that's the sound I make inbetween "no reaction" and laughing

Yes, you are on .ml, comrade. Only bad words are disallowed.

Do not question our leader again.

!nottheonion@lemmy.world

jokes on you, I also use MUSL/centre-left and BSD/anarchism

EDIT: The BSDs aren't anarchist since someone de facto decides what gets in and what doesn't. The closest "anarchist" software project I can think of is TCC as of recently, they allow contributions like a wiki.

Don't accidentally use the term without definition in a group that doesn't know it yet lol

Yes, a few times. I have exactly 60 ".kdenlive" files in my "videos" dir. That editor itself sucks, but seems your does harder.

Can't demo much as most of these are aimed at very niche communities (ranging from 1k people to 4 person groupchat with only 1 person who cares), and some are also a bit problematic in content. As you could have guessed, it's meme stuff, so quite image heavy.

some examples that I am comfortable with sharing

  0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.

AVIF has a lossless mode. Although nobody cares for it, the slightly lossy is fine. It's adjustable just like JPEG is adjustable.

Also, it's really annoying to convert since ffmpeg can't do it yet, but the two major browsers support AV1 video, with alpha, in a .avif that you can shove into an tag. It's basically just a video. But animated. And transparent. It also works on Discord web now (but not mobile). AND you can set repetition count, if you really want. Can't show the masterpiece I've made before with that since it would be way out of topic, although here's an HD example with the animation from here:

demo

Ironically, the creators of the damn browser didn't know that it's possible and used a .webm. Well, the bourgeoisie division of the organization that makes the browser, of course. The @redhat.com emails, lol. Also, the metadata for the .webm says "ezgif". Oh welp. And yes, the greenscreen leaking at the edges was already there.

Command (bourne shell): ffmpeg -c:v libvpx-vp9 -i pop-up-1480.webm -strict -1 -f yuv4mpegpipe -pix_fmt yuva444p - | avifenc --stdin pop-up-1480.avif (-c:v needed to get ffmpeg to read the transparency).

File size:

.webm: 540KiB
.avif: 486KiB
.gif: 6.2MiB

GIF command used for comparison: gifski pop-up-1480.webm -H 832 -r 33.3333333333333333333333 -Q 100 --extra -o pop-up-1480.gif, 100% to match original quality somewhat

Translation: your video editor sucks.

in the US, no different
