ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.
Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.
It's even worse than tar.

GNU tar is easy and straight-forward.
It's also completely incompatible with any other Unix, but then, what difference does it make is nobody can use them?
Pages are fractional now?
Man, I really gotta get with the times...
"Section". They just used the wrong word ¯\(ツ)/¯
I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".
The default libass shaping engine,
I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”
HEY EVERYONE IT'S THE ASS GUY
ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)
When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though
Fantastic sub format for anime.
I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid
I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.
Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.
Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.
Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.
Because ASS.
Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.
Because it's funny.
Right in the nostalgia! Happiness is a warm genlock...
Wtf? Is datascope funny or am I missing something?
This guy doesn't get the joke, everyone point and laugh!
Ha ha ha, whoosh! Right guise?
You scrolled too far. 😆 Same as me, but I scrolled back up.
