Numpad is a MUST for doing quick calc, that top row of numbers always slows me way down.

Also, I need the full numpad in case I'm playing Arma 3, cuz I need to additional keymappings ;)

Marty Stratton of id Software tries to throw Mick Gordon and his entire music production career in front of a bus over the Doom Eternal OST issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/gdg25y/doom_eternal_ost_open_letter/

Mick Gordon responds with receipts and even time stamps in files from the id audio designer: https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce

Bethesda's eventual response in a tone seeming written by Stratton himself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/1enfvfm/has_marty_stratton_found_his_appropriate_venue_yet/

Fuck anything from id Software/Bethesda/ZeniMaxi Media until chucklefuck Marty Stratton is out.

Hey, I saw that Youtube short with the fireman guy that does the funny skits too.

Nothing to be torn about. He's a selfish asshole.

I think we just call him Vladimir Futon now.

If AVIF was not patent encumbered, AOMedia would not need to have a Patent License to allow open source use.

A majority of the most recent standards are effectively cabal esque private groups of Corporations that hold patents that on the underlying technology and then license the patents among each other as part of the standards org and throw a license bone towards open source. That can all be undone by the patent holders at their whim.

There's no need to create a standard format that's patent encumbered especially if they don't ever intend to monetize that paten,t. It's all about maintaining control of intellectual property and especially who was allowed and when they are allowed to profit from the standards.

They're really trying to couch the narrative.

No patent encumbrance. That was the entire point.

Clawing control of patent infected media standards is far more important for a healthy open internet built on open standards that is not subject to the whims and controls of capital investment groups eating up companies to exert control of the entire technology standards pipeline.

Lemmy.world is a community, /c/news is a subcommunity in that context.

It is whatever we collectively decide it is with enough traction at the end of the day, right?
