My downloads directory’s empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.

Crashumbc ,

So is mine! But because I dump everything straight tomy desktop…

(Insert we are not the same meme)

The APK for F-droid, because I just got a new phone.

My downloads folder started in the early/mid-nineties. So TAG BBS execitable, probably.

datavoid ,

Apparently I have a bunch of scala tuning files from 1996

CanadaPlus ,

Did you take a liberal definition of “downloads directory” like the other guy?

datavoid ,

Nope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?

CanadaPlus ,

No. That’s just a long time ago.

I can’t imagine you’re on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?

datavoid ,

Fair enough - didn’t mean to sound confrontational.

I definitely didn’t download the files that long ago, that’s just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.

The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I’ve developed - it’s called “what is this.mp3”

If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It’s the new craze I guess

CanadaPlus ,

It sounds kind of like the Morse code for “8”.

That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

…bandcamp.com/…/blu-mar-ten-jungle-jungle-1989-to…

The sample is taken from this song

youtu.be/cpFlb7QaQZc

It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

on.soundcloud.com/tJsb1tv1zqyqT1Xs9

At 1h3m36s

Also known as a “dub siren”

datavoid ,

Thank you! Was driving me mad

@dizzy@lemmy.ml avatar

Where were you hearing it?

datavoid ,

Live dnb mixes generally, or occasionally in bass heavy tracks (something abrasive like G Jones)

dizzy ,
@dizzy@lemmy.ml avatar

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

open.spotify.com/track/3OnhXxPlbc4FbSbgClDnD5

datavoid ,

I was playing call of duty last night (I know) and I realized that there is a ~500ms sample of the wheel up signal that plays every time someone gets a killstreak. I feel like I’m descending into madness now - Pandora’s box has been opened. Where else will this sample show up - is no audio safe?

dizzy ,
@dizzy@lemmy.ml avatar

Mate I’m Crim in MP… nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?

datavoid ,

Yup, MWIII! Maybe I’m losing it, but I swear they used a single cycle of it quietly to notify an event (i’m not 100% sure what the trigger is, i thought kill streaks but it might actually be related to dying)

dizzy ,
@dizzy@lemmy.ml avatar

Haha I’ll have to listen out for it!

I’ve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and it’s got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol

The Linux command “ls -t” sorts by newest first, if anyone else needs a cheatsheet.

It is “model_v5.torrent.zip” from December 2019. Looks like I was going to download AIDungeon back when that was new and amazing. I’m sure I never actually set it up and used it.

I thought to myself “yeah, like I’m going to use the command line to check it instead of a gui file manager”

Then I realized I was already going to ssh into my PC from termux because I am too lazy to get up. So… thanks.

Anyway, it is as I guessed a pdf listing the mandatory courses on the college I allegedly graduated from this summer.

CanadaPlus ,

Allegedly? Uh-oh, are you have trouble getting actual documentation of that?

lud ,

Maybe they don’t remember it.

Tyoda ,

Kind of, actually. The graduation partay was on July 25, but if you’re a no-show, they make you wait till August 22 to go get the papers. Guess they needed a summer break too, but come on!

Lol I just deleted my downloads on my PC, was > 100 GB lol

texasspacejoey , (edited )

Im currently seeding a torrent ive had since December. But thats just this pc. Ive got way older stuff on my external.

iamjackflack ,

I don’t have a downloads directory. The browsers I do use are set to ask for save file name every time (not always the same directory) and I delete everything when done using. The default dump everything to a garbage folder is not really a great idea

A folder with waifu2x-caffe (image upscaling software and not porn) from 2020

dan1101 ,

In my downloads folder I have an invoice from 2022. In my utilities folder I actually have old DOS executables from 1985.

LarkinDePark ,

Not particularly a fan but the Zionist controlled British media really did a number on this guy.

From what I heard, the media crushed him but he was actually a better leader than Starmer. And there’s the little fact of Starmer not having a spine and the whole protest squashing thing, which was in my opinion, not the right way to go about this.

MadBob ,

he was actually a better leader than Starmer

Without looking for a source: I seem to recall he’s the opposition leader who’s caused the most government U-turns in the history of the British parliament.

datavoid ,

Crushed him like a baby rabbit
