If you're still using firefox, right click -> copy clean link. works most of the time.

edit: on desktop, idk if mobile supports it or not. Good suggestions below though for mobile.

Sorry, /s means sarcastic. If anything I would absolutely expect them to pay for multiple mixes/masters given what's been said about how people consume it.

I'm not sure but Dolby Atmos might be responsible for some of it. Dolby Atmos lets the engineers assign coordinate values to each "sound object" in the scene, then your receiver takes that information, along with the room calibration mic info and your speaker layout, and actually generates the channels itself based on the listeners position within the scene. As an example, if an object is moving from front to rear then the engineers no longer have to pan it between channels, just tell the coordinate system that the sound is moving "that way" and let the receiver take care of it. Maybe engineers just aren't putting as much work into making discrete channel audio mixes anymore when the "gold standard" no longer uses discrete channels/tracks.

In the early days of television, directors really only had the choice of using theater trained actors since those were all that existed. Theater actors are trained to speak in that way so that they can be clearly understood on stage even without mics. But people don't actually speak that way, and modern directors seem to have a preference for "natural performances" so I wouldn't necessarily blame the actors. They may just be doing what they've been directed to do.

ah yes, the forbidden curl hack

What would be the alternative? You don't really expect the streaming companies to pay for TWO masters do you!? (/s if it wasn't obvious)

Everyone here needs to watch Palm Springs.

This is more or less the plot to Palm Springs. Dude gets stuck in a time loop the day of his cheating girlfriend's friend's wedding that he doesn't wanna be at, full of people he doesn't know, in the middle of the desert. It's implied that he was stuck in there for hundreds of years because he knows every intimate detail about everyone in town pretty much.

A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn't have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.

People suck, hopefully you were able to take her to court for defamation because what she did is almost the definition of libel where I live (Maryland, US).
