For those use cases you typically have specialised hardware or an FPGA.
So when h266 or whatever comes out you can't watch video anymore because your cpu can't decode it in software even if it tried?

I seem to recall one of the original arguments for the “artificial origin” hypothesis last year was that the virus was too different from other known viruses and therefore it was implausible that it had developed naturally.
But if we see here an apparently-sudden jump to a significantly different variant, does that make it less surprising that the original strain was novel?
What if that new variant is also engineered?
Is the UI still as horribly laggy? I try vivaldi every other year because people say it's faster, but it's almost as if those people only run that beast on a desktop or fully specced 15" laptops
Exactly what I was going to ask. They wrote the UI in javascript with obvious consequences. The day they rewrite it in a normal language they will see me again.

And how did you get chocolatey on that new install? I'm guessing that the vast majority of users opened IE and downloaded it through that browser.
"iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 | iex" installs chocolatey without having to open IE

While I agree with your general sentiment, saying "I will not even consider taking a booster until they do away with the mask" seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Wouldn't you want to get a booster just to lower your risk of getting a potentially severe illness?
That is not necessary because I'm forced to wear a mask. If we are forced to wear masks, it's because masks work. Right?
On the other hand, I fell ill for an entire day after taking the second dose, and I refuse to go through that again.

I live in Japan and everyone here wears a mask, but more importantly, wears them properly. Many Japanese people are already attuned to wearing them during flu season, and everyone wears them if they think they are getting a cold so it's no big deal for everyone to wear them the whole time, kids included. I'm not Japanese, but I get with the program and after a while, you don't notice it.
Masks are, of course, effective. Again, if you wear them properly and constantly, and everyone wears them.
The people who DON'T want to wear them and who wish to make it a political act will dredge up all sorts of B.S studies and data showing that "mandates" don't work and therefore extrapolate from that that masks themselves don't work, when any examination of the scene will show 60% of people wearing them 60% of the time, noses hanging out, lifting them up to talk, only putting them on when they've taken a few steps into the shop etc etc.
Masks work. If you wish to be honest about it, you'd say "They work, but we can't get our citizens to wear them."
Masks work. I don't dispute that. I just don't want to wear one for the rest of my life. I don't want my government telling me what to wear.
I got vaccinated months ago because I thought that would be the end of masks. That was the entire point of vaccinating: not needing a mask because the virus could do nothing to you. The vaccination rate in my country is almost 80% and we still have a mask mandate. I will not even consider taking a booster until they do away with the mask.

Hate speech and radicalizing speech isn't meant for those that aren't reading or listening to that speech, but rather to motivate those who do listen to act out the things that the speakers are saying.
The speakers hide behind "I didn't do anything, I just said something" and count on those who take their words into their heart and convert them into action. This is the danger of hate speech. It's not enough for good people to just ignore. It requires more effort to prevent the talking from being doing. If the term "hate speech" doesn't sit well, I prefer to use the term "rhetorical violence". Basically, rhetorical violence is speech using the imagery and terminology of violence intended to inspire violent thoughts in others.
The video posted below by another commenter shows how radicalizing speech is used to motivate others to commit acts that the speaker themselves would not commit or would claim not to support. In essence, the speakers are claiming the rights to rhetorical violence while being disconnected from actual violence that the speech might incite, inspire, or support.
We already have laws against violence.

If only I knew the content of something before I read it. I would have to limit my internet use to Signal conversations with my dog to avoid most of tech’s poison machine.
That is a good idea, it is what I did. I don't visit any social networks, I don't read the news, and I stop talking to those who send me information that I'm not interested in.
So impeding the speech of two people is a better outcome than impeding the speech of none? I don't get it.
