silly AJ thinking the brain chips will be optional.

the fascists will make it law that you get one. the capitalists will just make it a condition of employment. its precious when people think technology can be a good thing and in no way will the sociopaths find a way to use it to ruin your life in record time.

666kbps bitrate. What are the odds? :akkothink:

For reference, a typical CD quality FLAC

newt,

@dwaltiz you're asking for it, aren't you?

Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.

I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.

@icedquinn those are a lot trickier. Mine are just regular over-ear headphones.

@enigmatico how is passwordless sign-in a privacy feature? It's the opposite of that, if anything.

But no, Firefox isn't private either. Otherwise, Librewolf or Mull browsers wouldn't exist.

Am I the only computer person on fedi who doesn't have lots of monitors?

Never felt the need for much beyond my 12" laptop

newt,

@tiskaan @genmaicha @scathach i hate 5 monitors at most at one time, all connected to a single rig. But they were small resolution and I just did it for funs.

Although, there are real-life cases that do require multiple screens. Mostly because software is shit and it's just easier this way.

newt,

@tiskaan @genmaicha @scathach yeah, it's something you get addicted to. Tbh the biggest reason for multiple monitors is that window managers today are total shit at literally the only job they are supposed to do, managing windows on screen. You can't even group arbitrary windows as tabs any more, not to mention other lacking features. Together with modern UI design being total shit, this leads to screen space being just wasted for nothing. As a result, you just need more of it.

It's basically the same process as any other resource consumption bloat in tech, be it memory or CPU. Modern software in 95% of cases does the same job as 20 years ago but requires more of the above, more RAM, more CPU, more screen estate.

i hope it's gonna be like "being old is actually fun" like i could be an old hag loving with 21 cats why not that sounds dope af

but the way the world is spinning i doubt it's gonna be fun..

newt,

@methyltheobromine being $CURRENT_AGE is already fun! At least it is for me.

I started having fun around 19 or 20 and the party never ends!

:blobcatconfounded: well. i guess i could use that for the plugin GUIs actually.

newt,

@icedquinn
Xorg: look at what they need to achieve a fraction of our power!

newt,

@icedquinn then again, you could just fire up multiple windows per program GIMP-style. Except Wayland can't handle this properly because programs aren't allowed to control their windows' coordinates, which is just asinine and retarded.

newt,

@icedquinn oh snap hahaha

newt,

@mint @alex @moth sure.

But then again, do you REALLY want to federate with these people? Because they clearly provide no value to the ongoing discourse and aren't really that fun. All things considered, we should stop pretending to be parts of the same network because we aren't. Not culturally, at least.

okay so while my gaming desktop has pretty good built in audio, my laptop that I use to watch movies on DOES NOT and in fact sounds horrific. So I guess I'm looking for a cheap DAC/amp for that. I looked at "mid range" ones and they're like $3,000.

newt,

@RustyCrab that's audiophile midrange, which isn't in any way better. You can get a good desktop DAC/headphone amp for like 100-150. Most that I saw worked in L'Eunuchs just fine.

Just avoid anything from big brands like Creative. They often require custom Windows software for configuration.

newt,

@RustyCrab i've been rocking this baby for the past 6 months or so. No complaints other than the lack of balanced output. Drives my 250Ohm cans just fine. Also, the meme lightbulbs glow in the dark which is cool!
