@kaia@brotka.st the governments of all those countries in the middle let USA and Israel use their airspace and airports while most of the citizens fume

@feld@friedcheese.us no more framedrops or screen tearing was the reason Wayland was invented. I get zero framedrops with wayland+mpv, even with highly compressed vids (x265, av1, or vp9) and a high bitrate. Apart from that the main difference is avoiding 40 years of accumulated X window system cruft.

@kaia@brotka.st Murdoch-owned newspapers often edit images to make the male appear taller than the female, perhaps BBC photo editor did this too

Just more work for the programmer I guess. There's also more lightweight UI like FLTK https://www.fltk.org/

@ownlife@mastodon.social I am wary of all Apple TV shows ever since watching some of "For All Mankind" and seeing its dreadful depiction of Liberal Boomer Space Heaven, where the people inhabiting space were the most boring people imaginable atva boring space wedding. Murderbot is not so great so far either, despite the awesome source material.

I think Trump is not ceding anything to Russia 'cause he is owned by Russia, but rather because the west is all out of spare weapons. Trump is just the spokesmodel, chosen because he can make it look convincing.

Anyone who uses transmission-daemon knows how annoying it is that transmission-remote -l displays torrents in a random order (its sorted by torrent hash for some dumb reason).

Anyway here's a small utility program that displays the torrents and the useful fields in a more readable format, sorted by date added. So you don't have to memorise which torrents have not finished downloading

(I wrote it in V and I will definitely use V again)
