I didn’t say ignore the vote. Your reading comprehension is atrocious.

Seconded.

I think the main difference between miners strikes and this is that if you used coal for heating/cooking you didn’t have a lot of alternative options other than just not heating your home.

Not really a viable option.

Still, I was just more curious whether this was a posting for awareness that it was happening or if “don’t cross the picket line” was shared for solidarity.

What would be the point of having a referendum and deciding that 51% was enough to burn it all without a plan?

Sorry, what does this mean?

Don’t link to Observer or Guardian articles, only link to archive copies, or dont click on any Observer/Guardian links?

I’m assuming all of the above.

I wrote Mesa but meant ffmpeg. Wishful thinking that they are able to make a generic ffmpeg encoder in Vulkan to allow it to be accelerated in hardware but not relying on bad video driver codecs.

Oh well, back to Intel.

If the driver is no longer using a dedicated piece of encoding hardware thats shit, but using the Vulkan logic then surely the quality would be essentially guaranteed by it being Vulkan conformant?

The hardware wouldn’t support b-frames in this scenario, and wouldn’t matter because your just using the standard matrixes to encode the stream and if it didn’t work then surely games would also be broken.

Or am I incorrect. Is this just standardising the API in Vulkan and it gets forwarded to the same video encoding driver? Could we not have Mesa doing a better job? 😒

The video quality for encoding has always been bad with AMD.

I’m hoping that by using Vulkan we can bypass poor quality encoders in drivers and get standardised accelerated encoders.

Damnit.

I wonder if thats because the transcoding hardware ismcrap or they just aren’t concentrating on that in the software.

Transcodes worked vastly better with QuickSync last time I bought a machine.

Does the AMD transcoded work as well these days?

Title is clickbate.

Ironically enough it creates Sharepoints for each of your groups.

You mean Lync?

I think devolution of powers should be considered first. Ignore the Lords initially because they dont really matter in the grand scheme of things. When the Tories really wanted something they just submit it several times until the Lords couldn’t say no.

We have good examples with Wales and Scotland, and so geographically we should do the same to England and split into 3 regions.

Southeast, Southwest and North, where in this context the “south” stretches up to Nottingham. Move the Commons to either Birmingham or Leeds, and limit their powers to the overarching national policies that would normally also cover the UK. Voting for the province would be AV, and Commons would be PR or STV. Although we should probably devolve more powers, which would get more traction if we were able to have better representation.

Ignore them. Its just a 14 yr old Trump supporter.

The LibDems tried to change the voting system, and got absolutely slaughtered for it.

Brexit and all the bullshit was just a repeat of the AV referendum with lessons learnt about how to trigger the Tories.

I think the main difference is that Johnson has always had aspirations of being bigger and greater. He will destroy anything if it means the chance to grab more power.

Farage is more like Sinn Fein, just a complete blocker to any progress for anyone else.

A private company getting private investment? I would expect that there are plenty of string attached to improve, otherwise it’ll be nationalised and the investors will lose their money.

If not, then it’s just a slight delay for 6 months until they run out of cash again.

I know plently of straight people who haven’t been in a proper long term relationship for 15 years.

Dating fucking sucks these days.

What’s that got to do with being gay?
