  • The people in the picture are so used to working with assembly language, that even though they know the average person doesn’t know much about assembly, they assume the average person knows a little, which is already way more than the average person actually knows.






  • This is that “enlightened centrism” false equivalence.

    I honestly can’t believe that in good faith you can compare Biden and Trump as equals.

    One is a president whos platform is making minimal change.

    The other is a president whos platform is to tear down democracy and human rights.

    If you honestly can look at these two and say they are equal than I have to conclude you are at least indifferent to maintaining democracy and human rights.

    I know the “counter argument” is about Biden and Israel/Gaza, but the thing is, that’s not really up for debate because I don’t believe there’s any chance Trump would be better about Gaza.

    There are 2 options:

    • death in Gaza and status quo in the US
    • death in Gaza and loss of human rights and possibly our democracy in the US

    libvlc uses libavcodec

    VLC relays on ffmpeg for a lot of video decoding, as do lots of other media programs. Go look up the legal notice on your TV and there’s a good chance the ffmpeg licensing information is in there.








  • The way you recover data from a totally dead drive is use a program that scans every byte and looks for structures in the data that look like files e.g. a jpeg will have a header followed by some blocks of content. In an encrypted drive everything looks like random data.

    Even if you have the key, you can’t begin searching through the data until it’s decrypted, and the kind of error that makes it so your drive won’t mount normally is likely to get in the way of decrypting normally as well.
