If it's lossless, it may change the cut position to enable lossless. If you want cut at an exact place, then all apps need to re-encode which will never be lossless.

For your particular requirement, you can't get lossless quality all the time by any software.

Yes. Seems like accounts are made by fb/meta to support them in hn.

Meh. It's a trick by facebook and others to harvest data and blame people later saying people volunteered the data.

Feels like hn is filled with these proxy accounts to support fb, google.

Meh. Those are just Making meaningless things that tracks users, hogs computer resourses, showing nonsense social media posts, brainrot contents, changing things constantly to put in their resume at the expense of users. Would prefer if these people did not exists in first place.

Nope. It's not "attacking own user base". These comments are ridiculous now. It's safeguarding a open project by removing scammers and abusers that exploit it. Scammer should host their own or use github.

Too many scammers in crypto. It's a good decision. Cryptos and scammers can host their own.

Are these comments written buy bots? It's the mainstream ones that have been screwing people without any recovery options, there were many horrifying top posts in hn itself in last few years.

It's humans who are doing this to themself and every other species on earth. So it's true.

"Trust me bro" is what people say about open source everywhere when it's not true.

> "it is impossible to hide malware in open-source software"

No nobody said "exactly that". But many times I've seen people claiming to trust open source as it is safer and people can check and build themselves. Seen it too many times. But reality is different than what is claimed.

Maybe but this is not what the issue was here.

Playing loud music, tv is not acceptable. Or smoking outside that impacts others.

Is your want to do that, live alone in a forest.

Americas do it themselves. Imagine Americans (and they don't live in Asia, so have no right) saying Iranian Iraqi Saudis are not Asians.

You're being partly branwashed by american rich media. It's not about disliking capitalism. It's crony billionaires running the country and destroying it.

China has pulled many poor people or of poverty. Generations. You don't see this in media. You're comment is just misinformed and wrong.

Nonsense. People are still driving cars without TPMS, they can feel the difference while driving and do tire pressure checkups regular intervals depending on run. No issue.

A video shows difference between Bazzite, Nobara and CachyOS.

Why others are better than Bazzite if it's made for gaming?
