Serious question, can a downsize of an image be considered a lossy compression method?

I was going to say this, too. It definitely applies to some games, but not the original Crash trilogy. I replay those games every 5-10 years.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the point, but all those duel things were mostly about honor and usually among the elites. A lot of them "had" to do it even if they didn't want to, because of the social norms and stuff.

PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

  • Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
  • Accessing sources of video for consumption.
  • Generating graphs for audio and video processing.

Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.

The oil lobby wouldn't be specifically against cars from another region, they are against electric vehicles in general, whether they are produced domestically or otherwise. The primary benefactors from the tariffs are the US electric car manufacturers, who would lose profit over not being able to compete with subsidized cars. They are probably the ones who lobbied for them.

Whether you agree or not with their justification (or think that it's not the real reason), they clearly have no justifications (or reasons) to impose tariffs on unsubsidized (or at least not as heavily subsidized) EU cars.

I don't think the US would either. Their justification for tariffs on Chinese cars was that they were uncompetitively cheap due to subsidies. Doubt EU is gonna subsidize cars, at least as heavily as China.

What do you mean? Why would Europe impose tariffs on their own cars?

Am I the only one who doesn't see a less buff John Cena in that photo?
