There is Lossless JPEG since 1993.

Both og JPEG and JXL support lossless compression.

Person: *makes an app for everyone to use*

Twitter baby: “Racial slurs! Racial slurs!”

Another meaningless mention of tiktok. Is tiktok making android and ios? Does it make impossible for users to install OS of their choice on their phones?

When he SU fell apart he was clerk in stasi.

Delay. Deflect. Derail.

That’s the thing. “It’s a class struggle. Always has been.”

(remember: American college is often equivalent to high school elsewhere in the world)

Really? Are there any examples? I like laughing at America for not having healthcare, but I don’t think education can be that bad.

The reason I brought up Kurzgesagt was that even that level is beyond what people want to see.

This is very saddening.

I accidentally wiped my comment. Now it will not be as good as it was.

Farmers need education. Farmhands do not.

Derp. Still, everyone needs education.

we could substitute gas station attendant or fast food worker, etc.

Dull, mind numbing work that should have been automated long time ago. And we are talking about schools, not universities.

e.g. doctor

Schools are not medical universities. But even in school you will be taught first aid. And basic anotomy in biology class.

farmers literally pulled their kids out of primary schooling in order to make use of them on the farm. Perhaps they supplemented it with homeschooling at other times when the crop cycles allowed… or perhaps not.

This is bad. Terrible.

to measure intelligence - e.g. if we ask what country does the city of Athens belong to

This question does not measure inteligence, it measures erudition. Inteligence, erudition and wisdom are different things. Question for intelligence would be like “bat and ball cost 1.1$, bat costs 1$ more than ball, how much ball costs?”.

So long as someone else in the family does the planning work, someone who was not merely pulled out but who flunked out of primary schooling could exist in life by contributing purely manual but not much intellectual labor.

We are Homo sapiens, not Homo ergaster. Tractor better contributes “purely manual but not much intellectual labor”.

Replaced all with most.

It is cute, slow paced enough, but also keeps moving fast enough, it aims low but at the same time it contains high levels of content, and basically answers anyone’s questions about the situation.

That I call Kurzgesagt popsci, not college-level. Not that their video lacks research, just I think such format is not collage level. I consider even this(has autotranslated subtitles, I recommend watching) to be popsci.

Examples of scientific videos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Examples of engieneering videos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5(closer to popsci).

Examples of popsci: 1, 2(well, scientific journalism, but close enough), 3, 4.

Knowledge can easily cure ignorance

“Knowledge is the light in the darkness of ignorance”.

bc it’s easier to watch something akin to a TikTok dance.

Sometimes clip formats bring up discussions about society and culture too.

It did not work out well I think, especially since people seek more immediate gratification i.e. Twitch dances or whatever rather than fully college-level subject matter provided entirely for free, oh except having to watch ads for the corporate overlords.

I can’t completely agree with it. There are a lot of college-level-only channels. From English youtube I know only The Efficient Engieneer(engieneering), Thought Emporium(molecular biology, close to popsci), Marco Reps(engieneering), Breaking Taps(engieneering, close to popsci). From popsci Veritasium(mix), Practical Engieneering(engieneering), numberphile(math), computerphile(applied math).

From Russian youtube I can only think of popsci mixed with college-level: Ekaterina Shulman(politology, mix), Chemistry - Easy(chemistry, mostly college-level). From popsci: Physics with Pobedinsky(physics), SciOne(multiple hosts), QWERTY(multiple hosts, originally was about astronomy), Alexandr Panchin(biology), Vert Dider(mix, only translated from english), Artur Sharifov(mix).

Good post, but we really need to get out of the generational thinking.

I know rich and poor boomers. I know rich and poor millenials, and gen X/Z.

It’s a class struggle. Always has been.

As I said somewhere else, it is not that boomers are rich. It’s just all most rich are boomers.

I searched what MBA actually means. Fuck that shit. Degree in “Business Administration” sounds like degree in praying. Wait, there is one! Fuck!

After WWII, the other nations (like the UK + those in the EU) were bombed all to hell & back whereas the USA was relatively fine.

There was certain union in Europe(not European Union) that was bombed 9% by area and 55% by population.

does “every” kid need one, or can some be excused to go be a farmhand without needing to finish?

Translation: To have more you should produce more, to produce more you should know more.

Farmers need education too.

EDIT: lemmy broke my comment with link to image

We’ve literally built workarounds in the form of Virtual Machines just so people can run outdated software on modern hardware so insecure outdated software can simply keep being used despite its age. So yeah, feeling vindicated that it’s not all just in my head.

Insecure outdated software AKA proprietary software. Fuck that shit.

I at first I expected you to work in IT infrastructure specifically, but sewage? When sewage can’t keep shit together - nothing in country can keep shit together. USSA is slowly turning from worse than Russia in some areas to worse than Russia in all areas.

You know, we live in “technology was there; the humanity wasn’t” since DMCA was legislated. We literally have information duping machine, but there is law that forbids it. When there will be everything duping machine, ruling class will its use by anyone outside of ruling class.

Because of all of this, we will see an absolute explosion of homelessness in the elderly.

And it can’t be fixed just through capitalism. Only either through policy or comand economy.
