Tl;DR

Yet, Dolby’s lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the District of Delaware [PDF] alleges that AV1 leverages technologies that Dolby has patented and has not agreed to license for free and without receiving royalties. The filing reads:

[AOMedia] does not own all patents practiced by implementations of the AV1 codec. Rather, the AV1 specification was developed after many foundational video coding patents had already been filed, and AV1 incorporates technologies that are also present in HEVC. Those technologies are subject to existing third-party patent rights and associated licensing obligations.

Candy Crush and the million remakes from the same publisher. Stole the core mechanic from Bejeweled but designed to be addictive instead of fun.

Also how are you so shameless that you’ll publish remakes of a game you stole in the first place?

Or Cloudflare.

So I don’t have to deal with dumbasses like you? Gladly.

Shoot Gorbachev right in the forehead stain.

SHUT THE FUCK UP about privilege when you’re literally trying to justify slaughtering people in much, much poorer countries. Orders of magnitude more people in the countries America targets experience a life far worse than the worst life in America, because of America. You don’t get to kill other people to feed yourself. Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m hungry and I may be homeless soon.

So you’re okay with inflicting that same suffering and much worse on other people in countries already with a much lower quality of life than you to escape that fate yourself?

Can’t wait for the same people who put “I did that” stickers with Biden at gas pumps to do the same with Trump. They will, right? because they apply their outrage of resource prices consistently, right? Riiiiiight???

Not an accident either. The ruling class figured out long ago that giving the peasents some Resistance Lite™ is enough to satiate them and prevent them from pursuing real resistance. Hell, they’ll even actively crush real resistance for you, saving you money.

Also not exclusive to the US. At least Canada is the same, if not every other Western country.

The statistical number-crunching showed that those who drank two to three cups of coffee a day were the least likely to develop mental health problems, compared to people who didn’t drink coffee at all or who drank more than three cups.

How much is a cup? Is it the cooking unit equivalent to 250ml or is it a colloquial “cup” that could be anything from the size of a thimble to the size of your head?

If you’re going to report on a study about “how much is optimal” can you at least be clear on the units?

Because it would probably take more energy than the oil itself contains

Does KDE also use UserDB?

Any way to not have Systemd on NixOS?

This is thriller novel level

Oh please Godzilla may be a literal city destroying monster but he still has morals.

NATO pls help

We (citizens of other NATO countries) are about to get drafted into this bullshit aren’t we?

Wait he begged Xi? Why? Might as well beg Iran for help in invading Iran.
