Any artists or designers in the FFmpeg community who would like to help out? We occasionally need artwork for social media, homepage news, and other community communication. It is volunteer/unpaid, help us fight ai-slop! Reply or mail art@ffmpeg.org

@Pirat_Nation 14th generation was truly like bulldozer; hot, power hungry, slower than the competition, however really good at overclocking to world records.

Intel's Core i9-14900KF has set a new all-time CPU frequency world record at 9.206 GHz. The record was achieved by Chinese extreme overclocker wytiwx and validated on HWBOT. The run used liquid helium cooling on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard, with only the performance cores active during the single-core validation in CPU-Z. This breaks the previous record of approximately 9.13 GHz on the same processor family and marks the first time any CPU has officially crossed the 9.2 GHz mark. For context, the chip’s stock maximum turbo frequency is around 6 GHz.

@Pirat_Nation Never pre-order, always wait for the reviews.

Best Buy sent real emails to many customers this week stating that physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI can be pre-ordered from May 18 to May 21, 2026, and the game will release on November 19, 2026 Many people received the same email and shared pictures and videos as proof. Best Buy sent it to frequent shoppers and retail partners, and it included new GTA 6 images. Sony also emailed PlayStation 4 players urging them to buy a PlayStation 5 to be ready for GTA 6 on launch day. Take-Two, the company that owns Rockstar, has a major financial report on May 21.

@FFmpeg Why is this amazing software posting AI slop images?

Ampere has clarified that the 2021/22 server was sent to VideoLAN. That server benefited the wider free software multimedia ecosystem. Ampere has also agreed to donate a server to SPI for use in FFmpeg CI. We thank Ampere for helping resolve this.

@mikiraIRL @discord Why not use the Flatpak?

@discord lmao still need to manual update on linux

is it the year of the linux desktop?

@GiggleWattzz @litteralyme0 @SpaceX @NASA Their missions have different requirements from one another.

@litteralyme0 @SpaceX maybe but not @NASA. They are still a decade away from trying to land rockets or catch boosters.

@dictator_jii I hate how YouTube's been cracking down on video to mp3/mp4 sites, it's been a struggle trying to find good sites that haven't been taken down 😭

@z3rOD4yz @Pirat_Nation Work, gaming, and teaching myself new skills that make me more useful and valuable.

@Pirat_Nation Linux and Mac people are just boring, like what yall do besides posting yalls desktop screens and widgets

According to Valve’s Steam Hardware & Software Survey for April 2026, 67.74% of Steam users run Windows 11 >Windows 11 64-bit: 67.74% (+0.89% from March) >Windows 10 64-bit: 25.63% (+0.27% from March) >Total Windows: 93.47% (+1.14% from March) >Windows 7 64-bit: 0.07% >Linux: 4.52% (-0.81% from March) >macOS: ~2.01% The survey is based on opt-in data from millions of Steam users each month

@Mindocontrole @Pirat_Nation How steam collects data is not necessarily the best way, it will sometimes repeat certain users and ignore others.

@Pirat_Nation Fanboys: THIS IS THE YEAR OF LINUX! Reality: Windows +1.14%

@chorx @Pirat_Nation It has always had HDMI 2.1 support; the issue was legal in nature, not a technical problem.

@Pirat_Nation Linux didn’t have hdmi? Lmao wow

Good news for Linux users with AMD GPUs: Full HDMI 2.1 support is on the way. AMD engineer Harry Wentland has submitted initial kernel patches implementing HDMI Fixed Rate Link (FRL), which provides the full 48 Gbps bandwidth needed for high-refresh-rate modes like 4K at 120Hz. This has been a long time coming due to licensing restrictions from the HDMI Forum. The patches include basic FRL functionality, with Display Stream Compression and additional features like VRR expected to follow. Once merged, this will greatly improve Linux gaming and desktop use on modern TVs and high-end displays, especially for SteamOS and living room setups

@Pirat_Nation I’m believing in this as much as I believed in windows on arm: my expectations are through the floor and I’m waiting to see the disappointment that I expect.

Good news for Windows 11 gamers: Microsoft is quietly working on a major internal plan called “K2” to slash bloat, boost performance, and make the OS seriously competitive with SteamOS. >SteamOS is now the official benchmark, Microsoft wants Windows 11 to deliver identical (or better) gaming performance on the exact same hardware >Dramatically lower idle RAM usage and a much lighter overall OS footprint >Heavy cuts to AI clutter and pre-installed junk >Completely rebuilt Start menu, reportedly up to 60% faster >A ton of other under-the-hood tweaks (faster File Explorer, snappier UI, fewer background processes, etc.) The changes are probably due to make Windows look better on Project Helix and future handheld/Xbox PC hardware. It finally feels like Microsoft is listening people, can’t believe it

@noop_dev @Noctua_at If you need more powerful ones buy from their industrial PPC line. When it comes to the price, that’s a trade-off for superior engineering and a good quality product.

@Noctua_at But your fans are just underpowered and overpriced.

Are you integrating Noctua fans into your engineering or other projects? We now offer public 3D CAD models of all our fans for download on our website, intended for mechanical design, renderings or animations: noctua.at/en/3d-cad-mode…

@RobinWeep @unusual_whales Financial ruin

@unusual_whales How else do you end civilizations?

Q: Would you use a nuclear weapon against Iran? Trump: No. Why would I need it? Why would a stupid question like be asked? A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody

@SpceEnthusiast @DJSnM @SpoxSpace Here is a brief summary: youtu.be/geIhl_VE0IA?si…

@DJSnM @SpoxSpace Why not? Regulations or short supply?

Solar panels are back in fashion

23 major news outlets, including The New York Times and USA Today, are now blocking the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from saving copies of their articles. They are doing this because they do not want AI companies to use the archived pages to train large language models. This surely protects their content from scraping, it also limits public access to historical news records. It makes it harder to track how stories change over time and preserving journalism

Microsoft suspended the developer account for WireGuard (and also VeraCrypt). Why? Literally nobody knows. Presumably it's because Microsoft hates everyone and wants us all to suffer.

While our wonderful president was out playing golf all day, the TSA is falling apart, just like our government! Airports a total disaster!

"It's to protect the children" "It's to stop the AI slop bots" "It's to help law enforcement catch criminals" Authoritarians will never run out of reasons why we should give up our privacy. Don't cede an inch of ground. x.com/vaporlols/stat…
