Is it just me or is #FFMPEG v7 way faster (on #ARM64 at least) when doing multiple things at once? (ie: #nlmeans noise reduction, #crop, then #x265)
I mean these used to take hours and hours on several of my Agatha Christie files (which need noise reduction, crop and encoding). These fly through now at about 30% time reduction per file. Not to mention about 15% smaller size (thanks x265 3.6.x update!)
💧 the #seawater#greenhouse is a really cool idea, literally. It's a way of using evaporating seawater to cool and humidify crops 🌱, which can drastically reduce the amount of fresh #water needed to support the #crop in a desert #climate.
As #climatechange and #freshwater scarcity increasingly challenges crop survival over the coming decades, carbon neutral seawater greenhouses will become much more common.

The growing frequency and intensity of severe weather across the U.S. is symptomatic of human-driven #ClimateChange, climate scientists say."
"These rogue companies made billions peddling products they knew would cook the planet. All while forcing the rest of us to bear the escalating costs—from #wildfires and #heat stroke to #crop failures and swollen utility bills.
#ClimateJustice demands polluters pay for the hellish heat they knew their products would create. "
