I'd rather have a nice battle than wins due to failures of the competition. Any competition for that matter.

Classic you can run, but you can't hide. Love it.

Congrats Klossie, good of you to board the Lemmy space(craft). Nice to see the overall appreciation you get here.

Yeah, but I paid for Nova Prime back then.

Always stay in character! Absolutely hilarious, I love it.

Redact. The free version replaces your posts and comments with gibberish.

We do have a lot of rain, specially in this time of year, but we have something here that is called a schoonloopmat which cleans/dries your shoes quite good. That together with hard wooden floors throughout the house makes I never take off my shoes at home.

I'm not American and I always wear shoes in the house. Why the fuck not?

There's one thing that's preventing me from doing exactly that and that is, as a non-native English speaker with tinnitus, the constant struggle to find good subtitles that are properly synced. My lazy ass just wants to enjoy a movie at a normal volume without having to force myself to be super-focussed in order not to miss the whole goddamn plot of the movie.

How do you mean "you can only install b building it yourself"? I just downloaded it from Github, installed it like any other keyboard and started using it. Works like a charm.

Wild suggestion here. Type the word "Proton" in your search engine of choice and almost blindly click on the first link that comes up. Take as long as you need.

Just as ugly as their ridiculous team name.

Is there anything the Republicans vote for that actually favors the public instead of only big corps?

Who cares. If you have a shred of privacy awareness, you'd steer very clear from it.

Aardige rampvlucht geworden dat hele plan. Gelukkig maar een paar honderd miljoen gemeenschapsgeld.

Oh okay

I am a strong supporter of keeping religions a private matter. Believe anything you want but let it be your belief and do not try to force it onto anybody else, not even your own children. Let them decide for themselves if they want to join you or not.

Tot verrassing van niemand. Wie heeft er ooit bedacht dat toestaan van online goksites niet zou leiden tot gokverslaving en een hele trits van de meest wanstaltige reclames die je ooit gezien hebt?

That's a lot of whataboutism there mate.

Yeah didn't you know? They're all actors on a green screen. Cars are made out of cardboard and the crashes are just CGI.

Utter nonsense. The reason alien conspiracy theories don't exist about castles and cathedrals is because the construction of these buildings was almost always very well documented and in many cases these documents still exist today. As far as I know there are no testimonies on the construction of the Egyptian and Mayan pyramids other than the structures themselves.

There was, for a short period.

Sure.

I gave Openboard debug a try especially because it supports multilingual typing and has additional features. Really happy with it.

Well put.

I agree completely that this can have negative impact on discussions, stimulate karma farming etc. So I'm all for it to hide it. Would be nice though to completely skip it from the UI (of in this case Boost).

I really don't understand why companies use these tactics. Makes me instantly hate them and leave their website/cancel purchase processes etc. never to return again unless it's absolutely completely unavoidable. Rather pay a bit more than dealing with scummy/scammy businesses.

Even € 15 in the Netherlands. :(

You shouldn't judge people by their looks, but I have to admit I'd be a little scared to meet her in person.

Problem is that no noncommercial platform would ever have the same coverage as a commercial one like X. People simply would not see the necessity to install it until it's too late.

I don't agree. First of all, you always had to be careful to plug it in the right way up and over time the little hooks on the connector always wore out much faster than with usb-c so the cable would come loose and you'd wind up with a phone that wasn't charged in the morning.

100% still closeted

I don't entirely agree with you. Comparing the same song in MP3 or FLAC on the factory-fitted audio system in my car (2023 Skoda Octavia Combi) already makes a huge difference. Of course the difference is smaller when using 256 or 320 kbps MP3, but even then FLAC just adds that extra bit of depth and "openness" to the music

FLAC files are typically larger than MP3, because with MP3 roughly 90% of the original file is discarded on encoding, hence lossy compression. At decoding the codec tries to restore this 90% out of the original remaining 10%. This sounds worse than it actually is, but you understand why MP3 is considered inferior by audio purists.

On the other hand FLAC uses a different compression technique that reduces the original file by 30-50% but without any data deletion, hence lossless. So, original file let's say 100MB as .wav, compresses to 30-50 MB IN FLAC and 6-10 MB in MP3.

I gladly sacrifice the additional storage to get noticeably better quality audio.

I seriously doubt it.

My old and trustworthy Kenwood KRV75R receiver. From around 1985 and still rocking!

In the end all religions boil down to one thing. Power and dominance (specifically male dominance) over others. "My religion is X and you have to do as I say because MY fairy tale book tells me bla-bla-bla, so YOU have to obey." Fuck all religions who use their shit stories to oppress others.

Scale-wise not perhaps, but on percentage of destroyed buildings in a particular (small) area it's right up there I think.

Oh lighten up you. Obviously you missed what instance you're in.
