@p treating people like cattle is shitty.
You claimed that govts aim to domesticate people, I think that implies they want to treat people like cattle.
I just followed up on that assumption.

@p I'm not saying it's good that politicians try to manipulate people.
But just because they do doesn't mean they're inherently opposed to the will of the people. They just treat it instrumentally.
@p yeah I agree, other people, especially people in power, telling me what's best for me is hella creepy, condescending, orwellian, and that stuff.
I don't expect politicians to have my best interest in mind.
They're obviously self-interested.
It's the job of the system to incentivize them to not make too many people too angry at them.
Ideally, they'd do that by implementing good policies, but they might try other, more manipulative ways. Who would've seen that coming!
@domi is this the "mistakes were made" point?
In a way, Arch is easier than Debian.
Sure, with Arch you have to do everything yourself. But that means you're the only one messing with it.
You can do whatever weird setup you want, and you don't have to worry that something will try to change it later and break it.
OTOH, in Debian, there is always something trying to do things for you, thay will happily "fix" whatever you changed. You have to constantly be aware of the packagers' assumptions and try to not violate them.
nvm looks like I specifically configured 9.9.9.9 as my upstream and it's having a bad day
Anyone else had issues with OpenWrt's DNS server not responding to queries (client gets timeout) but only on certain days?

except `set -e` has bizzare edge cases that can make your script behave in an unexpected way

@amonakov @icedquinn
I looked at the opus test vectors, and looks like they don't check it bit-by-bit, instead they use opus_compare, which seems to calculate per-band energy in a sliding window manner, and then compare those with some epsilon or sth...
@icedquinn
> some chinese people were using that to play games around the firewall
not just chinese people
also, when reading @amonakov 's screenshot for some reason I didn't notice that "lossy" referred to the network, not to the codec.
But then, if the extra data is only some form of error-correcting code, why would it affect the decoded stream when I have the complete encoded stream with no holes in it?
@icedquinn hmm... do you know if opus uses floats?
@amonakov @icedquinn
streaming over networks?
like youtube?
So if you youtube-dl the opus audio from a youtube video without reencoding, it'd have that?
I have one opus file, 2 versions of ffmpeg.
I use each ffmpeg to convert the file to s16le (which I'm assuming is raw PCM audio)
The results differ.
why?
@izaya yes
@sjb I was trying to imply that the questiin govts are asking are "how do we implement this policy withiut causing riots", so answering "don't implement this policy, implement a different one" would kinda miss the point.
Though that's a bit of a sarcastic answer, assuming the worst intentions on govt's part...
@sjb that'd be like being asked "why did the rocket fail" and answering "because we tried to fly it"
@dzwdz it's maliciously simple. Pretending not to be a programming language and putting hurdles in your way if you want to do anything mildly advanced.
@mikoto I know I had to switch sleep mode in BIOS to "Linux" before I got suspend working so I think it might be...
@coolboymew @mikoto @feld @sun well ok.
But some people do want a glorified RSS. For example, I'd like to see in my fedi TL when one of my favourite youtubers publishes a video. At some point in the past there was a bridge through which it kinda sorta worked with great delay, but then it broke / shut down.
