Will the vaapi av1 encoder work (well) with Intel Arc? I was trying to build ffmpeg cartwheel and was up until sunrise because I had to build some other dependency of another dependency. Meanwhile the vaapi h264 (or was it 265?) encoder played quite nice with my rdna2 card.

And blocking all extensions by default on Firefox mobile.... At least you can create an add-on collection to bring them back but Mozilla is evil nowadays.

They're doing exactly the opposite of what you think they're doing.

I update Firefox all the time and it doesn't change my default search engine. Now what? Are you using Mozilla's Firefox builds or a Linux distribution's builds of Firefox?
Win10 119.0.1 (64-bit)
Doesn't happen for me on Windows or macOS. It sounds a lot like you're construing an anecdotal incident as a grand conspiracy.

But Firefox protects you from advertising networks the best. uBlock Origin works best in Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... Sounds like "the original vision of the internet" to me.
You mean the least worst?
No, I mean the best. Firefox provides features that uBlock Origin uses that other browsers don't provide.

#35ffmpeg is absolutely wonderful, but some combination of its originating era, long history, and compatibility commitments (how many convoluted production ffmpeg scripts exist out in nature?) have made its CLI pretty rough. This is maybe "known" to the current audience, but chatGPT is an excellent soundboard for crafting ffmpeg scripts to do pretty much anything - makes the tool about 10 times as accessible to me.
A lot of that is essential complexity of the problem space - media is HARD: so many different specs, each one interpreted differently by each vendor. In case you're not aware, though, there has been work on improving the CLI - it was discussed on HN[1] earlier this week, and there's an excellent video[2] linked in that thread with an overview from Anton 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38160703 2: https://www.…
Thank you!
You may be right about essential vs accidental complexity - my domain knowledge is too weak to have an opinion - I just get the subjective impression of "holy crap this makes git feel like my mother tongue".

Better than all other major browsers != good
Since the only real competition is chromium, safari, and edge, the bar is astoundingly low.

I can't speak to the CLI, but the C API is pretty stable in my experience. I just upgraded my ffmpeg dependency from a really old version to 6.1 with zero issues (except a few benign deprecated warnings)
