The Belgian parliament went a step further at the start of this month when it passed a labour law that has been described as the first of its kind.

But that's not true at all. We decriminalised sex work in 2022 here in Victoria, Australia, and as part of that extended all protections and benefits workers enjoy to sex workers as well.

Edit: This includes things like superannuation (our pensions system) and maternity leave.

Okay, so full disclosure, I haven't used Netris at all yet, but I have used Sunshine/Moonlight extensively.

Moonlight is an app that's compatible with the Nvidia Gamestream protocol. You can stream directly from Geforce Experience to Moonlight, but Nvidia have deprecated it. Thankfully, an open source implementation of the Gamestream server exists called Sunshine, that is fully compatible with Moonlight (I don't know how much of this you already know but other people will read it too). However, due to limitations in the design by Nvidia, the Gamestream protocol is a 1:1 connection. You get the display out from your PC and Geforce/Sunshine handles launching the app. So if you want a single card to handle two different gamers at once, you have to split it and create VMs, then install Sunshine individually to each one. These resource partitions are often also static.

Netris on the other hand is based off of GeForce Now. Nvidia based it off of Gamestream, insofar as the connection between client device and server. But in terms of the software Nvidia runs on their servers, it's designed to handle dynamic scaling of hardware to accomodate multiple clients. It handles getting however many 720p or 1080p or 4K streams out of a specific card, and can often split them unevenly when needed. As well it handles syncing of cloud saves and the creation and destruction of VMs. So to me it seems Netris is the full package needed for sticking a 3080 in a server and having 4-5 users all be able to utilise the one card to game concurrently.

This will hopefully grow to become an excellent choice for smaller-time cloud providers to compete with Nvidia. And self-hosting it with a beefy CPU setup and SSD storage so it can handle multiple gamers at once. However, if you just want to stream a single PC for a single gamer (or even two seats using a VM running on your desktop) then Sunshine & Moonlight are going to be the better choice.

Both of these comments are probably true.

Is there the potential for SingleFile html archives rather than pdf & screenshots? I’d imagine it’d be a fair bit smaller file.

Freely admits on the internet to violating someone’s right to due process. But they were a druggie, so no biggie right?

As a leftist, the fact that everybody has just gone along with the concept that battery-powered vehicles are an everyday necessity is pretty frustrating. Long-haul trucks with batteries instead of freight trains. There’s a trial in Germany powering trucks on freeways with overhead lines. People with range anxiety dragging around a 500km-range battery for their usual 40km daily driving, just so they can do their once yearly road trip. When better public transport could solve this. We don’t need new battery technology, we just need to actually spend the money to improve public transport.

Most torrent sites, such as the famed Pirate Bay, advocate the use of VPN when downloading things via torrents, so it’s safe to assume that most users created fake email addresses and used IP spoofing software to remain hidden.

I don’t use a private tracker to hide my personal information. I use it because of the quality of torrents, rarely finding seedless ones and the speed with which they download.

Why do I keep seeing this comparison over and over? Like cool, you compared it to the absolute cheapest headset out there, Meta loses money on every one of them they’ve sold. It’s also a VR experience only, with awful external cameras. The $1099 HTC Vive XR Elite would be a much fairer comparison as it also does AR and VR together.

It’s the same as all the articles comparing other devices not using an external battery pack. When those are using smartphone-tier ARM chips that can’t hold a candle to Apple’s M-series SoCs.

Like, I still think it’s overpriced as fuck but I’d really love to see some actually realistic comparisons.

Also, Telesyncs, which would be labelled TS, is when you have that high quality cam recording and sync it to a direct recording of the audio. The audio often came from the FM microbroadcast that are designed for hearing-aid users.

Don’t even get me started on how audio is included on a 35mm film print. Dolby Digital is an image of a digital signal (basically a QR code) that is between the cog-wheel holes on one side. Good Telecine machines are able to record the full surround track from this. That used to be the absolute best you could get while something was still in theatres. Often better than award copies, they had no stupid watermarks.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in this thread mention Telecines at all. It’s a machine that captures the video and audio from the film print directly to digital. A lot of good Cam rips were filmed from the projection booth, and could conceivably be done by a projectionist surreptitiously. Telecines though, required a large piece of equipment and time with a print outside of hours. Likely you’d need to be a manager or owner to get away with it, or have their blessing.

I remember the excitement of finding a Telecine for a movie in theatres rather than a Cam. It felt like striking gold. I bet the people releasing those in scene groups would be treated like gods back then.

i think that pun’s older than the internet

I’m using Memmy for Lemmy and the dev has said they were inspired by Apollo. There’s even a shoutout to Christian on the github page. It’s just had it’s official app store launch, definitely worth giving a try.
