  1. 🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial

    O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat.

    💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru?

    🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere:
    Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete.

    🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux:
    Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe.

    🔍 Clarificare importantă:
    • Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid).
    • NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active.

    Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬

  2. 104 year old Eddy Goldfarb has invented over 800 iconic toys- some of my favorites, too. He made Stompers, which were HUGE for me as a kid (I still have several). He also made talking teeth, Kerplunk, just TONS of stuff.

  4. Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

    I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

    My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

  5. If #Russia went back on the long-held ban of #RoundUp (#soy and #canola), would #Bayer (#Germany) even sell the seeds to them. Due to #sanctions we are unsure. Are #bioTech seeds considered “#food” and thus not included in sanctions?

    We assume Russia will not reneg on their stance against #glyphosate (known carcinogen that also damages #gutFlora) but we’ve heard *nothing* about it.

    Boosts appreciated. #askFedi
