I mean, that's been an accurate statement for decades.

Same(ish). Half mile walk to and from school every morning. I was in kindergarten. I was escorted a few times to teach me the route. By 5th grade I was occasionally riding bike or walking 3 miles across town.

It is a depiction of a child.

Your implying, that so long as information can't be validated and the image can't be verified as a real person it's ok. Cool, all you need is a filter and CP is fine!? Pictures of hate crimes are cool because it's just a picture?

What I find weird is the number of people in Lemmy who are trying to define a grey line when it's CP and when it's not. Reddit had a very real problem with CP and starting to think Lemmy very much does.

It's a really interesting tool. With games integrating with it so certain things show up on the tracker can really help you find the clips you're trying to export out.

UI is a little fiddly yet needs work yet

Lol, that would be Chidi.

Currently I'm listening to "What It Means to Be Moral" by Phil Zuckerman on Audible.

I like how it contrasts why some people might do the things that they do based on their beliefs and what it can lead a person to do or not do. It doesn't force any conclusions on to you but it does make you think about things to come to your own conclusions.

I mean, that makes sense to some. But not reasonable for an average user. He just did a search for top rated, recommended routers and bought what all these crappy sites recommend. He tried to do the needful.

Not all routers are in there. Buddy of mine just bought a new TP-Link router and it's not listed.

I came to comment on the same thing. I remember when World Warcraft was yet to be released, most weren't expecting it to succeed due to its silly look compared to Ultimate Online 2 and Everquest 2 coming out near the same time, and I want to say there was another big name that was expected to run the same time but it eludes me. WoW was often criticized as looking to cartoony and potentially made just for young children. Of course this was before the beta was out, and you had at most screen captures in gaming magazines.

This was the inevitable result even years ago. When self-driving cars were the hot topic and several companies were doing their own thing, that's when it should have been obvious it was never going to happen. It's not a problem any one independent company was ever going to solve, especially quickly. For to work it would have to be an open source, global standard with several companies working together.

I mean you'd have to build out a massive amount of infrastructure to further support it. All vehicles would have to have a module in it that would communicate with everything else around it, regardless if it was self-driving or not. There can't be a premium model, or a subscription, ect., it would need to just be there and work.

The overall task to get this done was never going to be quick, easy, or cheap. This was always going to be bigger than any one single company and a handful of engineers. It's going to take the effort of many companies and governments all working selflessly.

 

This might not be the best place for this question but I honestly can't think of another place, but if you know of one please let me know. But I figured someone here might have the experience I'm looking for.

I own the discs for various Star Trek series and everything Stargate. What I'm trying to do is use handbrake to encode them to put them on Plex. But everything I try, it just looks worse. Is there a repository of like recommended settings for various media?
