ffmpeg is one of the most used tools on the internet. might be up there, after linux kernel and mysql and postgres databases. it essentially runs the entire youtube, rumble, bitchute, odysee... yet it is the one tool that has a near non-existent support when one needs help working with it. i have not yet seen such a strange paradox in IT in my 25 years in it.

I think i have lost 350k in stock markets in 22 and 23.

paraphrasing youtube comment:

Vlad The Impaler was the master of “fuck around and find out diplomacy.”

@marlathetourist the thing is, once you're in that position of husbando. you kinda have to act that role because that is the expectation. it's fucked up but it's his identity and he's just playing the role, even if he might disagree with it. that's what self-entrapment looks like and why going your own way(not necessarily disengaging but merely doing what YOU want and desire) is so hard. it's all social conditioning essentially.

today it hit me that majority of population are doing low-skilled jobs, making them low-skilled labour, making them low-skilled people. it is nothing new but it is not something i think about often. and it is not bad. society needs the "meat" in the middle to make it work. but i guess me being from tech background and me considering myself above in intelligence, i forget how the most of the world actually looks like and that most people i interact with are on close level to mine, not the society

@Wopu although taking their voting rights seems less extreme :)

@Wopu this is not that crazy though. preventing women to have downie babies is good for humanity. and forces them to not whore out their your away. or trap some poor incel.

notice how single men are "incels" and "losers" and media calls it "epidemic of single men", "momma's boys"... it's never "men are enjoying their glorious freedom" type of thing. it's always shaming and hating that you dared to leave the plantation and live your own life the way you want to live it and put yourself first, before anyone and anything else. you are supposed to be a dummy, opinion-less, feeling-less wage slave and an appliance and a retirement plan for the women. never forget that.

@marlathetourist iran is about to sign a security deal with russia that has been in the works for years. there is no way anyone will attack iran after that. not to mention, china is near by and won't allow anything threatening their belt and road project with southern path going through iran into turkey and eu. plus conflict in region would kill the whole european industry production, which is already collapsing as it is. no need for 100$ oil.

oh, canada

the amount of people hyped for trump saving them is staggering. i guess, some people are simply unable to ever wake up and see the real world.

@RegalBeagle i'd say fedora an suse but suse got woke, like debian and nixos. fedora should be fine but hard to say these days. good old ubuntu, i guess. maybe arch, since it's a do-it-yourself type of thing. everything is going to shit these days. and when it comes to software, people will get killed sooner or later because something did not work as it should have and prevent people form getting hurt. give it a decade and the level of boeing engineering will be standard everywhere.

@Zeb everything is just barely working if you look into it. banks, grocery stores, logistics.. i was wondering lately that i am proponent of capitalism but i think corporate capitalism was a mistake. business should be personal and you should be working only to get what you need with some cushion for a bit of luxury. chasing profits for the sake of profits(obligation to shareholders) is what causes the "bad" in the society and everything is paper-thin, just to scrape every last cent of profit.

we live in a world where a piece of silicone can make your whole career happen.

if bureaucrats would have to run a profitable business, the entire planet would stop working.
