Oh my. Sometimes Betteridge's law of headlines is wrong.

I was about to mention this example. It's everything you love about mythbusters (doing crazy science experiments), without everything you hate about mythbusters and what made me stop watching. No more constant hopping over between the different myths per episode, or tons of recaps.

Just myths, one at a time, no bullshit.

You, me, a few other people.

Ah, yes, I do.

So... What link did you send?

At least this is opt-in, and Firefox still allows for manifest v3 extensions, and, on the whole, isn't using a engine funded by a billion dollar company that's doing everything in it's power to spy on you.

As someone who worked on a couple of video encoding / streaming services, this was an amazingly interesting read. Some personal highlights:

  • Custom encoding settings offer shows, per episode, and even per scene.
  • They created a short film specifically to cater to hard-to-encode scenes.

At the risk of committing whataboutism - the same can be said about Facebook, Google, etc. And I don't say that to marginalise the problem. Quite the contrary - I honestly feel it should be illegal to gather this level of personal detail about people.

That the focus right now is on tiktok is suspect, to say the least, but I guess the upside is that the problem is getting attention now.

Yeah, because that worked so well with tracking popups.
