Original author isn't involved with this fork AFAIK, but fixes from SoX are backported which is why the author may appear in the commit history.

Google would retain copyright to all of it's employees contributions to Chromium. Which I recall being 90%+ of contributions. The propsal PDF from justice.gov doesn't mention Chromium anywhere, so maybe Google will retain copyrights, but the sale would seem pointless if they do.

The real question is to what level Google continue investment in Chrome after the sale. Remember both Mozilla and Apple will also loose out on the search engine deal.

In my input.conf file I've created filter keyboard shortcuts:

  F1 af toggle "acompressor=ratio=4,loudnorm"
  F2 vf toggle "bwdif"
First one is an alright dynamic range compressor (makes the loud parts quieter and quieter parts loud). Second is a deinterlace at default settings. These are standard ffmpeg filters and mpv let's you turn these on in real time.

I hope it was a pleasant surprise, I found this from a data archivist perspective. I can't believe that only FLAC had the foresight to checksum large binary data in the media codec space.

I notice that LLM releases will include md5/sha256 for the binary data, while excluding the json metadata. I really wanted MKV to have this functionality.

PipeWire 1.0.0 3 years ago

Pipewire for the first time got Pulse and JACK to work together for me. Bravo.

I don't hate the UI choice made in Dune 3D. But I still think the menu bar approach is the best for complex applications.

I don't like the GTK crowd's approach in regards trying to make everything work within the GNOME design paradigm. It doesn't look good on all platforms, and feels more hamfisted then anything else.

Sad to see some in the comments criticise GIMP so hard, I get it doesn't compete with professional proprietary software. But it's still a very useful image editing tool, that I use a lot.
