I think that is preferred compared to the ludicrous amount of lobbyist money politicians receive for the corruption mess.

Zpiritual ,

The “communists” (hardly…) are bought by lobbyists?

Zpiritual ,

Every influencer/whatever should strive to be like Tom, his series is the greatest on youtube of the last decade and I’m sad to see it end.

At the same time I’m looking forward to whatever he may try out and hopefully he’ll remain somewhat relevant even though we don’t deserve him at all.

If my mom saw that on her phone she would call me and say her phone was exploding. Or go and buy a new phone.

Doing stuff behind the scenes is fine because people are ignorant and easily panic. But it should have been visible in the battery power menu or something.

Zpiritual ,

Which seem perfectly reasonable to me honestly. This all seem like a nothing issue when we have larger problems concerning things like planned obsolescence and no maintainability to deal with.

Zpiritual ,

Isn’t it just a web app/electron on windows anyway? I’ve run a whatsapp “client” on linux for years without problems.

Zpiritual ,

With the strikes and every production on halt and needing to restart? Maybe early 2025 if we’re lucky. Earlier is possible I guess if the parts settle in the not too distant future and CBS put prio on SNW once things resume.

Zpiritual ,

Hard to describe since it’s literally called livetv… It uses the saint martin top level domain… ymmv

Don’t download their player obviously

Zpiritual ,

Maybe he’s referring to that even if the source is 44.1/16-bit flac or wave (cd) the entire chain maybe isn’t. Maybe the firmware (android in this case) uses a fixed 48kHz sample rate which to me makes it sound a lot more dull. Maybe the dac in whatever is playing the flac file is objectively or subjectively worse than the one in the cd player (this matters a lot). Maybe the firmware doesn’t allow for exclusive access to the dac to whatever software is playing the flac file. A cd players is comparably simpler to program software for since it’s only made to do one thing which is to play one format at one sample rate and bit rate. That’s it.

Lossless sources doesn’t mean a lossfree playback chain from the software to the dac.

Kuwait to distribute 100,000 copies of Quran in Sweden after Muslim holy book desecrated at one-man protest (www.cbsnews.com)

Kuwait announced this week that it will print thousands of copies of the Quran in Swedish to be distributed in the Nordic country, calling it an effort to educate the Swedish people on Islamic “values of coexistence.” The plan was announced after the desecration of a Quran during a one-man anti-Islam protest that Swedish...

Jesus married a 9 year old?

Zpiritual ,

I agree but as I try to not be an ignorant fool about stuff like a religious person would be I was surprised about that statement. Turned out the statement was a falsehood so…

Zpiritual ,

So that is a no then I take it?

Zpiritual ,

The father who’s up in the clouds somewhere looking down on us? That seem like a bullshit story if I ever saw one.

Zpiritual ,

What point are you trying to make? That 9 is 14?

Zpiritual ,

Except the bible doesn’t even say that so… It’s still full of other bullshit of course …

Zpiritual ,

He was booted of that one with these new set of allegations wasn’t he?

Zpiritual ,

So 128kbps transcoded to 96kbps? Seems like quite a significant price to pay, but whatever you’re happy with works for you :)

Zpiritual ,

Transcoding kills audio but whatever :)

Zpiritual ,

I feel like the cast isn’t the issue and that it’s more about what you do with the cast that’s been a bit underwhelming at times. And he’s right about the lack of goofyness in modern trek and I’m glad it’s back in force with this season!

Zpiritual ,

Russians? China? Plenty of shills all over the world etc.

Zpiritual ,

The other side is that they’ll also push back against good stuff for the consumer since everything they do is completely out of self interest.

Zpiritual ,

Oh I don’t know, starting or popularising the trend of gluing the phone together, removing the 3.5mm jack, not adopting the standardised method for post-sms communication (rcs vs imessage) to name a few.

Zpiritual , (edited )

A surprising number of films are still shot on film and then transfered to a digital intermediate for editing and later distribution. Not only the few film imax ones. I wonder if anyone is still doing their editing on film, I highly doubt it.

Zpiritual ,

Check out this list. The imax 70mm ones would be reels like this one.

Zpiritual ,

I never thought of that as a possibility. Best of both worlds then I guess.

Zpiritual ,

Usb is a de-facto standard and are we still using usb 1.1?

TIL lemmy.ml is a pro-authoritarian CCP shill instance (lemmy.ml)

For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama. Apparently lemmy.ml is the result of a reddit sub ban of a bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty terrible stuff!...

Zpiritual ,

Because “debate and persuasion” has solved any problem with authoritarianism ever.

Zpiritual ,

They are currently working hard to discontinue your favourite Google service.

Were lemmy.word admins invited by Meta to the P92/Threads "off the record" meeting?

So I saw a recent post on lemmy from admins of another instance, forgive me for not remembering which, where they posted a full transparency update on Meta requesting a meeting with the admins of that instance. The admins declined, and then shared the correspondence with their community via screenshots of the original email from...

Zpiritual ,

Indeed. Ruud has stated he has hundreds of unread notifications that he may never have time to get around to. Tagging him in threads does nothing and you really can’t hold his “silence” as proof of anything.

Better of trying to poke one of the other admins.

Zpiritual ,

Worth point out is that it doesn't even reach the same classification as red meat which is classified as probably causing cancer.

Zpiritual ,

For sure. Too much of most things causes all kinds of health issues. Variation and modesty is key to health imho.
