Okay, thanks. I guess it’s not possible at the moment then.

I got the green eyes. Didn’t know it was so rare.

I know that lossy normally lessens the image quality in the compression process, but Curtail has two options:

Lossless mode: Compresses the file by removing unnecesary data that does not affect image quality; thus reducing file size. Lossy mode: Compresses the file much further by lowering the quality of the compression; thus reducing the file size but looking a bit worse.

After using the lossless mode, I’ve personally done very thorough image comparisons to see if there was any discernible difference between the original file and the compressed file. I could not find any visual difference.

In Curtails own words on their site “It supports both lossless and lossy compression modes with an option to whether keep or not metadata of images.”

It just looks like “Loo wan tee” to me.

Edit: Actually, just read the article, and considering the name Luanti is a mix between the Finnish word “creation” and the LUA programming language; and I’m preeetty sure LUA is pronounced “loo-wah” or “lew-ah”, I think the Luanti pronunciation is more likely to be “loo-wun-tee”.

In that case, what I mean to say is that I want a program that compresses the video in a way that is not perceptible to the eye, while also preserving metadata and reducing the overall file size.

I’m not sure why “lossless” is not the right term, because that’s the term that curtail itself uses within the app. Is the term misleading? The app is designed for photos, not videos. It compresses each photo without losing any quality, and slightly decreases the overall file size without losing metadata. I want a program that can do the same thing with videos.

They no longer have ads https://odysee.com/@Odysee:8/nomoreads:f

And what FUD are you spreading? They collect hardly any personal data. In fact, the amount of data they don’t collect is one of the complaints some people who came from YouTube have for Odysee: They’re used to the sheer amount of statistics YouTube provides them from their viewers.

I just find them annoying. They won’t stop spawning in my base-area when I would rather see them travelling out in the wilderness. It’s improved slightly now that they drop the ominous bottle instead of immediately giving you Bad Omen.

Thanks for recommending the playlist to me. I watched the first segment of the Tears of the Kingdom video and I can relate so much to the feelings he was referring to. I can relate further, because when I played Tears of the Kingdom last year, I actually found myself feeling those things in that exact part of the Temple of Time that he found so interesting. He’s right when he says that there’s an audience of players who love these random out of the way places. He even had the same experience as me in that he explored this area of the Temple of Time prior to getting the Ascend ability (which makes climbing that building so much easier). The only difference is that I didn’t build a bridge to initially get up there; I found a diagonally-growing tree at the back of the whole temple to climb up (I only know the detail about the tree because I checked my own gameplay video, lol)

I’m gonna go check out more of the video’s in that playlist now 😄

That’s crazy! Thanks for nearly showing him to me. You’ll understand why it’s so crazy if you read my reply to algorithmae which explains how it’s such a coincidence they even recommended that channel to begin with.

No way, you did not just link that channel! You have no idea how insanely massive of a coincidence that is! I’m the one who made the original post on asklemmy. I had no idea the guy in this channel made a series like this, and something he said randomly in a video is the very reason I wrote this post.

I’d never heard of this guy until I was watching his video a couple days ago, where he was trying to figure out where all the rivers in Breath of the Wild come from. While I was watching it, I was semi-consciously thinking to myself how much I love just chilling next to certain parts of the rivers in Breath of the Wild, because of the very feeling it gives me. At [some random point in the video](https://youtu.be/gcS1HIci4hQ?si=hDh9WwBnhoTNcooy&t=1382 (timestamped), he suddenly said something that felt out of nowhere to me. He suddenly said about these two small caves, “Telta Lake and Lake Siela in Breath of the Wild, where just two, unremarkable and odd little spots, where you could go stand to feel strange feelings for no reason.”. As soon as he said that, I was absolutely ecstatic that it appeared that he was referring to the feeling that I’ve been wondering to myself about for my whole life. If he said it about any other location in the game, I may not have clicked and written my post at all.

The reason Telta Lake (the one of the two with the tree) was important, is because of another coincidence. This location is the exact location as where I have another fond memory, watching Nintendo Treehouse Live during E3 2016. I was 14, watching them showcase the gameplay of the game on YouTube. This was the first time I saw them show gameplay outside of the starting area of the game, the Great Plateau. For context, everyone in 2016 hyped for the release of the game were highly anticipating and excited to see what the world and gameplay would look like outside of the Great Plateau, including myself. I can’t find the exact Nintendo video, but whoever was playing the game, stood behind the large tree, and it made me feel that super nice feeling and seriously inspired me ever more to get the game and just “live in it”. From that moment forward, I’ve loved that little spot in the game ever since. Sorry for the long comment.

I mean, my brother has ADHD, so…

But honestly though, I don’t see why this would be it. I really don’t think I have ADHD.

I’m the one who made the post btw.

Thanks. You’re right that it’s not the same feeling. Quite a few people in the comments in my original post suggested this might be it.

I’m the one who wrote the original post: Thanks, it sound like a good read, I’ll give it a look on the Open Library.

Thanks for cross-posting it. I didn’t realise so many would find my post to be wholesome.

Based on how Wikipedia explains it in your link, I think the feeling I get from liminal spaces is similar, but not the exact same thing as what I described. Liminal spaces often elicit feeling often from an unexpected lack of something that should usually be there. For example, being in mega-sized stadium all by yourself, where there would usually be thousands of people at once, or walking around your school yard ultra early in the morning when nobody is around. This certainly produces a similar feeling to what I described in my post, but different, and I can still get the feeling in busy or loud environments, it’s just much rarer, and I haven’t experienced it enough to be able to tell exactly what sets it off in busy or noisy environments.

I got it once in the last year when I visited the city of Melbourne, Australia. I arrived at Southern Cross railway station. I had to wait for a friend to pick me up from there. I stood out of the way and leaned against a wall right beside a Hungry Jacks (fast food franchise), and the feeling came over me when I observed my surroundings, despite being in a very busy and noisy environment. This is kind of an opposite situation to the feeling you get from liminal spaces.

The scuba diving sounds like it would do it for me, for sure. Even though I’ve never done it before and might not be able to because of my asthma, just imagining it (especially if I’m by myself), slightly gives me that feeling (I’m pretty good at visualising environments). That sounds like it would be fun.

I’m a Christian and believe in the existence of spirit, so I agree this is probably something spiritual.

True. For some reason I was sure I remembered the mobile version of my banks website not working for actual banking, but it turns out it does, at least currently. Hopefully it stays that way and they don’t push too hard for the app. If they do drop it, I can always block app trackers with a DNS service like Mullvad or Quad9

Thanks, my bank is compatible according to that list.

On a side note, I prefer the world border method of having an ocean surrounding the world with an invisible wall, since it makes the world feel like it’s actually small. In Java, you can see the world continue to generate outside the border, which, when shrunk to make the world smaller, gives you the sense that you’re simply trapped in a small section of a world and can never fully explore it. In legacy, you know you can explore every nook and cranny.
