does firefox do video smoothing? (www.youtube.com)
 

I use invidious for youtube watching. and I set the resolution to 480p (because of my internet) I have noticed for sometime that the video looks more smooth and less pixel-y than before. but when I used video snapshot (which take a frame) and I saw that the frame that firefox saved to my drive is pixel-y and less smooth and not like the video it shows to me.

I even checked with screenshot (which take picture of screen and not a direct video frame extract) and I can see that it is smoothed.

what is happening?

could it be AMD ? could it be my desktop KDE doing something?

it is a bit hard to show it but I can clearly see that the video frame I extract is less smooth that the video shown.

French civil servant drugged us to make us urinate on ourselves, say accusers in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

I understand that France is not Spanish.

what I said was that those words are not bad word in their own language and we should not ban words because of anther country's fucked up society.

also good for Brazilians for changing that and using another word for it because that word has intimatecultural roots in their country (biggest slave population was not USA but Brazil (almost half of them)). so Brazil (if they want to) can use that word. but spain doesnt have to. (but it can of course do so).

    the word negro is literally word black in those two languages.

    are you telling me that those speaking those two languages just no longer use that word?

    and as the other guy "i refuse to let American racism to ruin another thing."

    Negro denotes 'black' in Spanish and Portuguese, derived from the Latin word niger, meaning 'black'

    the USA slavers used the derogatory (or pejorative) diminutive (removed) to belittle and dehumanize the black slaves that Spanish and Portuguese slavers sold to them.

    the name of this monster is not weird outside of USA.

    • Iran-US Talks Lay Bare Divisions Within Iran’s Ruling Establishment in c/world@lemmy.world

    I didn't say there is no difference of opinion which even I can understand after 3 times western cheeto Hitler broke trust and made the part of the government that said USA promise was worth anything look like fools.

    what I said was this particular group's job is disinformation and misinformation. so as you may know you don't need to lie to deceive. which is part of norm usually for "independent news" funded specifically for countries like iran (or china)

    the website (irannewswire and iranwire) are part of west funded "NGO"s to so discord in Iran.

    they are like "IranInternational" news network funded by zionists.

    so they have to put news like this out.

    Ubuntu 25.10's Rust Coreutils Transition Has Uncovered Performance Shortcomings (www.phoronix.com)
     

    Ubuntu 25.10's transition to using Rust Coreutils in place of GNU Coreutils has uncovered a few performance issues so far with the Rust version being slower than the C-based GNU Coreutils. Fortunately there still are a few weeks to go until Ubuntu 25.10 releases as stable and upstream developers are working to address these performance gaps.
