user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

If I didn’t pirate everything, I wouldn’t buy it anyway because I don’t have money.
I do not purchase any digital content.
If I like some movies enough, I will purchase them on DVD. I like to have something physical.
I’d do likewise with games, if I played any. If it’s just download, I am not purchasing it. If it comes on disc/cartridge, sure.

Exception to this is FOSS. FOSS is almost always free in cost, but if possible, I’ll donate on it. It is the only digital content I am willing to pay for. That is because it has the chance to benefit other projects. And if I’ll ever learn programming, potentially even some of my own.

Just set it to “do nothing” when lid is closed. That’s all.

Maybe they’ll come with something like “For safety, charging with non-genuine USB cables has been reduced to 1W. Please consider buying genuine Apple charging cable or pay just $2.99/month to unlock full speed charging with generic cables. Thank you for choosing Apple.”

Welp, time to update my browser after months.

user224 , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in if it turned out there was a sentient AI capable of running the world would you accept it or rebell against it?

Depends on the AI. It could be better than humans, it could be worse. Unfortunately, it has the possibility of getting hacked, which humans don’t have yet. But I wouldn’t reject it right away.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What volume level do you usually listen to music at?

10-15% on earphones. However, that doesn’t really mean anything. Different sound card and headphone combination will produce different loudness at same levels.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Which is one conspiracy theory that you think/believe may have some verity to it?

Living in emulation. I believe calling it simulation wouldn’t be correct, we’d be more like a video game. If there was somehow a computer powerful enough to actually emulate real world, we wouldn’t be able to tell if we’re in it. And we’d still be real regardless, just on a computer.

free-mp3-download.net is the best. It rips FLACs directly from Deezer.

user224 , 10 months ago to piracy in What is your go to music grabbing solution?

flac format from YouTube

WHY? YouTube doesn’t have lossless audio. Best you can do is get the 160k Opus without re-encoding.
