Actually, it’s specific to libwebp, but many things that decode webp just use this library (for example, decoding webp with the "image" rust crates doesn’t use libwebp. It does use it for encoding thought).

I often use Tribler for torrents. It’s a TOR-like system specialized into torrent, and does work well with any torrents. (I’ll put a warning that the system might not be totally safe against targetted attack, but it should be against standard complaint to ISP)

If said content contain books (or maybe others pdf/epubs/docx), I would recommend uploading to one of the website that will eventually be mirrored by Anna’s Archive. (see https://annas-archive.org/datasets)

Matrix use the term of "homeserver" too

According to this article, NVidia has a 80% market share over Discrete GPUs. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-retained-80-discrete-gpu-market-share-amd-20-in-q2-2022-despite-gaming-revenue-losses/

That certainly count as monopoly (wonder how igpu goes, but I’ll guess it’s AMD’s who’s first).

Plus they tried to buy ARM recently.

And in France, it’s not monopoly that’s illegal, but company in such situation have more legal restriction due to their potential bad influence on the market compared to smaller companies.

Well... I once tried to just copy the pdf into a .txt file that I then opened into firefox, but it seems to not translate .txt, thought it may be cause they are not HTML.

I’ve been using for a few months. Here is my opinion:

  • Translation quality is still far from good, but is good enought to be understandable.
  • Can’t translate PDF files (hope it could do it in the future, even if that mean reflowing it)
  • The extension allowed to keep translating this tab. That’s a future that, in my opinion, would be highly appreciated in the built-in translator (instead of enabling the "always translate").
  • The language choice doesn’t correspond with what I usually need (which is chinese. But I know chinese is notably hard to translate.)
  • It seems that translation into french first goes thought a first pass of english translation. While this still produce readable result, targeting english is for now probably the best option (even thought the cost of implementing a new language translation pair doesn’t seems too high, I understand they might prioritise adding more language, at least for now. Actually, I should probably contribute to this myself if I care as much about it)

That seems pretty interesting mix of the performance of Wifi with the more multi-connection side of Bluetooth. I have yet to see what would support it (or even if there is a generic protocol for things like headset, game controller, screen, remote, media player, etc), but it seems to be the missing technology for wireless haptic feedback controller on PC.

(edit: yes, joycon can do it, but it’s a special case where they does not pass raw audio)

When you have a website, you also provide the processing power for executing JavaScript and rendering HTML+CSS.

Why they would prefer an app (that's by definition less compatible) is unknown for me, but I can attempt to guess it's simpler for some reason.

I feel like it might be interested to add this. Said "bridge" on OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.78168/-81.28259

There’s a few photos from this article. It’s a dirt road, somewhere where you should (and he probably did) drive slowly.

ISP can’t block it easily if it’s on I2P, something akin to TOR but also kinda different. Thought going against the hoster is totally possible if not anonymous (and there actually are already piracy (torrent over I2P) website on that network)

That’s actually a pretty good idea, thought It have some defect, in particular, each ActivityPub server have a limited view of the whole network. While it is usefull for avoiding abuse, it also have the downside that you can’t search for the whole thing that’s published on a platform.

But that could be solved with what is called backfilling (that Matrix does incredibly well). Sepia search (for Peertube) also does this.

Mixing ActivityPub with backfilling would be a really good idea. You can share metadata of ressources, have multiple instance, admin could block abusive website, and searching the whole site would be possible.

Maybe I’ll go study what already exist on this side.

(as an aside, Tribler does something similar to that, but only for Torrent and P2P)
