Listened in to the Academy Software Foundation's virtual townhall about the Open Review Initiative. I knew that project because they provide very useful ffmpeg command lines and they're doing all the encoding tests to figure out good quality settings and obscure parameters.

“Between enabling Israel in Gaza and all of its operations across the Middle East,
and now these strikes in Iran,
we are setting the foundation for the next generation’s ‘War on Terror,’”
said Wes Bryant, who served until earlier this year as the senior analyst and adviser on precision warfare, targeting, and civilian harm mitigation at the Pentagon’s Civilian Protection Center of Excellence.
