You can't even copy and paste shit into a DOS box without running into silly edge cases and bugs caused by the fact that the DOS box sees pasted text as you just typing really fast.
You can't use the mouse in the DOS-box without retarded hacks.
You can't display images in the DOS-box without retarded hacks.
Running all your apps inside DOS boxes to look cool is the sign of a stupid Linux user who doesn't know how to use a computer properly.

I'm in a similar predicament. 26%+ £7 off is insane if it pays out, but it's a HUGE if. I've been waiting on a cashback deal, I've got shopping credits to spend before the new year. I doubt there'll be a better one until then so I might just go for it.

Probably dropshipcucks trying to get rid of their stock

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

that's a reasonable thing to be concerned about, the fact that foss by definition (all foss licenses have it) are provided without any warranty, so you have no legal recourse if they don't work (actual malware though i don't believe is protected by this). though you can always get a refund if something doesn't work ;)

what do you want me to say? i can't tell you who to trust. personally i would sooner trust someone who writes software for fun or personal utility over someone who writes code for a paycheque for a company whose primary goal is to make money

Point is that FOSS is not holy. I used to use bromite for instance. Turns out it was abandoned, had to replace it with cromite, which in turn was also abandoned. If I didn’t follow the news of my software I might have been exposed to serious security risks. Now I just use fucking edge with ublock origin on my android, making me question the point of investing time and energy in FOSS in general. Over the years there have been multiple examples of this. So yeah, it’s more a disappointment in the holy promises of FOSS vs the bitter reality. For me at least. I also understand there are very well established projects with corporate backing.

It generally is better, 99% of issues on Linux are related to closed sourced shitty standard that should be phased out ages ago like .rar or HDMI. The rest are just general over reliance on terminal, mostly because devs are autistic so "different use cases" doesn't mean anything to them.

that's like saying "just use your phone" when you have a nice, physical keyboard. A dedicated calculator with its tactile feedback and being purpose built have its advantages.

Also the 991EX is discontinued so it's somewhat rare, especially so in NA. EU and Asia stores seem to have a bit more in stocks but not for long. I bought mine for around $20, now it's $55

I think I may have figured out how to fraudently pass off AVIF images as video inside a WEBM container.

ffmpeg -i 1.avif -c:v copy 1.webm & ffmpeg -i 2.avif -c:v copy 2.webm
ffmpeg -i 3.avif -c:v copy 3.webm & ffmpeg -i 4.avif -c:v copy 4.webm & ffmpeg -i 5.avif -c:v copy 5.webm
(echo file '1.webm' & echo file '2.webm' & echo file '3.webm' & echo file '4.webm' & echo file '5.webm') > filelist.txt
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i filelist.txt -c copy 12345.webm

5 pack of AVIF images (125 KB): https://files.catbox.moe/ei4qf6.zip
those 5 AVIF images converted to a fraudulent (but playable) WEBM (124 KB): https://files.catbox.moe/5r19yu.webm


There's 1 problem though, I have no idea how to reverse this process.

Bad news, the colors don't match and CICP has now changed. However the good news is SSIM = 1 so the raw YUV data is in fact lossless here.

ffmpeg ignored CICP...

Aren't they just separate streams with start time metadata if it's concat? Also why would you do this it's guaranteed to be broken maybe everywhere, just because your bloated everything exe called a browser can do it does not mean a site will accept it
>>
>>107670414
huh, what a horrible way to support WebPs. On the other hand, VP9 WebPs? yay I gues
>>
This sounds like the closest thing to an ffmpeg thread.
Does anyone know of a way of transcoding mp4 to an APNG without writing the cICP chunk to it?
It's the default behavior of ffmpeg <6.0, but everything afterwards seems to always write this chunk, and that confuses some websites.

Conversely, if there's no built-in way of skipping and/or removing it using ffmpeg, are there any third-party tools that can remove it from the end file?
exiftool can't overwrite CICodePoints because that's a read-only tag it seems.

AI suggests manually setting
>-color_primaries
>-color_trc
>-colorspace
>-color_range
to "unknown", to the equivalent of sRGB and to all the other things, but while ffmpeg doesn't error out when those flags are provided, they never have any effect on the resulting file.

alright sorry for the snark yesterday. I assumed becauce I am a boomer that minimal research would trivially show that there's no way your game runs on any iGPU
