don’t say it too loud the nerds on here will be angry at you (you’re already getting down voted for no reason)

do a blind test between ogg 320kbps which Spotify premium uses and FLAC and tell me your score then

my point is, if you’re not working on that audio, there is no audible difference between two

why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if…

• you have the right hardware
• you have the ear trained to hear compression
• you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
• you are in a quiet room
• you are actively looking for compression artifacts

you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)

categorizing sports between women and men separately always seemed weird to me. Why is it not a global ranking? A global ELO system that makes sure every athlete fights other athletes in the same ELO range, doesn’t matter man woman because it’s based on performance/skill instead.

release

such a large statement with such little evidence

… yeah? I love talking to people who match my vibe or people I find funny or people who have interesting stories

this is pretty good news, seeing ChromeOS supports Linux apps and is wayland-based now

It wouldn’t say corruption, I think it’s more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive

this would get a normal person’s car impounded and drivers license revoked. why can a company get away with it?

Props for putting the acute accent on “Québec”

TPM and trusted computing/boot chains are some of the single most important security measures that we’ve had in the last decade. I can agree on the kernel level stuff though that’s a bit bullshit even though I understand why low level access is needed for some anti cheat tasks and DRM prevention. I think there should be APIs provided instead of having to install unknown modules

what I was expecting as well. he was waiting for the stock market to recover for his friends to sell, now that it’s almost back to Biden levels he can crash it again

here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it

Not a single gram of brain

C# is better than java just because it doesn’t have as much brain rotting “DesIgN PaTTeRnS” gurus

I use it for brainrot ☹️

So is it brainrot or brain nourishment??

I can’t believe there are still no affordable options to replace my 1080Ti. I remember not too long ago, the new generation -60 model was just about equivalent to the previous gen’s -80 model. Nowadays it’s the new model is between the previous -60 and -60Ti for 50$ more.

Does Trump think he has the cards against China?
