Dear Lazyweb,
Can someone explain to me why lame and ffmpeg have such different ideas about audio volume? Is there some conversion factor that will let me take ffmpeg's number and make it match lame's number?
For example ...

Anas Al Sharif | A deep sense of fear grips the displaced families in Gaza, as the Israeli government threatens to seize what remains of the Strip after already taking control of more than 75% of it.

There are no safe places left.
No food, no water—famine is spreading rapidly.
This war on Gaza must end.
Please—let our voices be heard before we are silenced by the next airstrike.

I remember when our nights were calm…
We used to look up at the sky to see the moon and stars,
Not warplanes and missiles.

But now, everything has changed.
And every night, one question haunts me:
Will we survive this time?

Lies, predicated upon a pre-determined, non-scientific bias, that I'm 99% positive that the majority of the experts at HHS wouldn't agree with.

So, people with serious diseases will leave the US to get acceptable healthcare, while more US citizens will live shorter, more brutal lives that are less challenging for the self-appointed aristocracy, that hates the middle class.

Hey folks, the Mafia regime in the White House just deleted most of Article I Section 8 and all of Sections 9 and 10 of the US Constitution. I'm sure there's nothing concerning about that. Carry on.

As an aside, I wish everything was as "dead" as #RSS. It has been quietly working for all these years and nobody wants to enshittify it.

Andy created the art for @bw’s https://htmlforpeople.com as well as the graphic at the top of https://home.omg.lol. His illustrations are fun, clean, and he’ll even give you the vectors (something you can’t get from AI!). But most importantly, he’s simply a joy to work with. 🌟

You’re building a thing and need it to look nice? Tempted to reach for some quick "art" from an AI?

Try Andy Carolan (@andycarolan) instead. He’s incredibly talented, smart, and unlike AI he actually cares about what he produces. He puts real love into his work. I’ve worked with him, and the result was *awesome*!

He’s also feeling the very real crunch of what AI is doing to his industry. It sucks. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can choose Andy!
