Something I never noticed about JPEG is that the compression ratio (at least when converting from PNG) seems to increase with resolution; potentially to somewhere between 10 and 20 times for pictures that are 20MB+. Feels almost magical to me.
Slightly blows my mind that MP3 and JPEG do pretty much the same thing

I can't post myself 10 years ago vs now because no pictures of me from 10 years ago exists. Although, it's not like I would do it if I had any

Strange discovery: fry screaming seems to somehow help with vocal fold closure, thus counterintuitively, eliminating raspiness in the voice. Given that this is a problem that I've been struggling for a long time, especially on the higher notes, I should look into learning to scream proper.
One random and unexpected consequence of having spent some time in the university choir turned out to be that between various excercises, I learned the mechanism behind fry screaming. Extreme vocals could become one of those hobbies no one wants me to engage in but I do it anyway.

Smth that puzzles me about that country of origin fiasco is that Twitter is blocked in Russia and is generally used via VPN. Assuming it wasn't retrieving the actual device location, these accs must have been excluded from the ISP-level restrictions.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Appflowy is a service that force-feeds you an AI-chatbot in exchange for your email address. How one is supposed to use it for productivity, I have no idea.

In 1.12 Minecraft, there was a way to achieve concatenation of part of one block ID with part of another, causing block transmutation. Some servers, such a SciCraft, used this to obtain illegal items like barrier blocks.
From 1.13 onward, block IDs were deprecated, and the method no longer works.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Something like every second interaction in my notifications rn is from a bot or a person that does not meaningfully differ from a bot. Either I messed up somehow or Bluesky's twitterification is underway.

As someone who has been range-training like there is no tomorrow, this video threw me into anxiety. There is a high probability that I, too, have some degree of physical scarring to my vocal folds since I've been feeling bad about my voice and pushing it hard for years.

![Definition of authoritarianism from the new Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian state language: "authoritarianism, n. [from Greek auctoritas — authority]. Politics. A form of state governance based on the authority of a specific individual, with limited public participation in making key decisions on political, economic, and social issues (cf.: absolutism, autocracy). Considered the most effective form of governance in difficult times for a country, as it allows for diverse forms of property ownership, is often supported by a bloc of parties and movements, does not eliminate hostile forces, and permits the limited existence of value systems other than traditional ones."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ya5uhbconl4quhuwj6zc6a4e/bafkreierg5xqonidwrggl7kyi4lyibucbwh6kiihvdwdekq7k4xmzbzzam@jpeg)

So far, Flatpak has been a lifesaver every time something went terribly wrong when installing apps from any other source (not a rare occurrence at all btw). It just _works_.

Maybe having a whole bunch of web pages and a game open while compiling stuff was not the smartest idea. The console crashed, and I have no idea if it will have some lasting consequences. 16GB of RAM is not nearly as much as I used to think.
