Also if you have video in AV1, you can rip out Group Of Frames from it and package in avif without any loss.

Not avif, but jxl

AV1, VP8, VP9, and other modernized “open source” or “free” Video Codecs all appear to be patent encumbered.

MPEG LA(patent trolls, not to be confused with ISO MPEG) tried to claim that AV1 uses their patents, but failed.

I don’t hate it. It’s just tech meme. Even article that polularised it says that text is incorrect. But it’s just funny.

Ok. Marvel fans then.

A subset of society that’s marginalized at best and killed at the worst doesn’t care about who can read and influence their communication? That seems highly shortsighted to me.

That we know of. Given that the company behind Telegram has been involved in various sketchy situations I wouldn’t bet my wellbeing on a service that might or might not share information with a corrupt government…

Share informarion with Putin? No, very unlikely. Ban opposition channels during elections? Confirmed yes.

Apple banned opposition’s apps durung elections too. And Google.

He meant it is not controlled by FSB like VK and mailru shit and doesn’t show phone number to entire world like whatsapp.

Telegram is basically the safest place in Russia’s digital space.

Yep. Alternatives are:

1. Mailru trash - comrade major knows everything
2. VK trash - comrade major knows everything
3. Whatsapp - comrade major knows your phone number, which means he knows who you are

Everything else is not popular.

these people must have been living under a rock

Russians are very advanced when it comes to the internet.

Putin does try to bring Russia into stone age. Russians are very advanced thanks for 1990-2016 period when goverment didn’t try to destroy internet.

They spend more time in it because real life sucks more than in other countries.

This is true. We probably have second worst healthcare after America.

Maybe opposite? Maybe women live lomger because they retire earlier?

UTC is expressed using positive or negative offset from IAT

UTC is timezone too. It has leap seconds. IAT is atomic time. It is perfect.

Worst is UTC vs IAT
