  • As others have said it’s a government position and it’s delivering mail. I’m not sure if Canadian law, but in think that’s a pretty severe crime in the US.

    What if the person didn’t want to deliver medicine because they believed that god will heal everything?

    While the mail is hateful, it needs to be delivered.

    Also consider that someone paid for the flyers and paid to have them mailed. So this guy is effectively robbing them of two different transactions.

    To be clear, I don’t support the flyers in any way, but what the guy did was wrong.

















  • Video is tougher as it changes every few years. Once a new standard is out there is also a little lag before there is hardware decoding. Additionally the video codec and extension are different things. I’m going to talk about codecs as I think it’s more important than file type.

    Hardware decoding is important especially for mobile devices and software decoding will run the processor and eat up your battery.

    For video, right now, the technically best format I think is AV1. If I’m not mistaken it’s open source or at least doesn’t have royalties.

    Images are kind of the same story, but browser support is the issue.

    I think jpegxl is supported to be pretty great, but Google is trying to push their own standard which I believe is technically inferior in some ways. Because of that Google had support for jpegxl in chrome and then they removed it from chrome.
