the problem is that you don’t need 20 people for this kind of thing. you can just kinda passively slurp the data up from every router and throw it into a machine learning model to be used by cops or sold to advertisers. you don’t need a human in the loop anywhere and it’s essentially impossible to opt out of
if you just care about listening to mp3s across all your devices then navidrome is a good choice imo. because it supports the subsonic api, there are a lot of good players for it like feishin for desktop and dsub for android and a built-in web player.
as for sharing music, soulseek is already pretty established for this. it basically allows you to search for and download music from anyone on the network (remember to share some yourself, it’s good manners).
the setup i use is basically a server (all these programs are pretty light, so you can probably run it on a spare laptop or even a raspberry pi) with:
the only real gripe i have with this setup is that while navidrome has support for multiple users, so i can easily allow friends to listen to my music collection, slskd doesn’t have that (yet, it’s planned), so if someone wants music added to the server they have to ask me to download it through slskd, which is a bit tedious. it works really well if you’re the only person using it though
ratlimit is a well known shitpost account btw
as usual, nix fixed this (kinda)
on that note, can we please have parentheses in language. i keep making ambiguous sentences
they did some self-driving car propaganda a while ago iirc. their latest videos have been mostly pretty focused physics and math history though, so they’ve generally been pretty okay imo. but any time they mention anything that can be sold i become a lot more suspicious
first social media to reach 1 fedillion users
i think in netflix’s case, they might actually be paying as much attention to the ads as they do the shows, which is to say none at all
i’m curious, what exactly is the advantage of getting a dumbphone vs just uninstalling social media apps from your existing phone, or just disabling internet access all together? doesn’t that achieve pretty much the same thing while still being able to keep things like navigation and being able to see when public transport is delayed
i think it’s basically just illegal shit and the worst sin of all, off-topic posts
i mean yeah, that’s how polling works. you ask a representative slice of the population and extrapolate from there. did you want them to ask all 340 million americans?
looking at another poll conducted by yougov around april 5th-8th, they had a distribution of 48% harris voters to 50% trump voters
i think you’re somewhat right though, considering that in that same poll, 81% of “maga republicans” (unsure how they defined that) said they approved of trumps recent tarrifs, with 11% unsure and 7% disapproving source
i’m not sure if you meant the number to be interpreted literally, but isn’t 250lbs of fentanyl a lot. both psychonautwiki and substancesearch state that a “heavy” dose, which is where you start to seriously risk overdosing, (regardless of method of administration) is around 100ug. some quick back of the napkin math:
of course, this is assuming 100% purity, so these numbers probably change quite substantially if “fentanyl” is actually defined as “substance containing fentanyl”
of course none of this is with the goal of defending whatever the fuck trump is doing, i just wanted to put into perspective that 250 lbs can actually be quite a lot for super potent substances like fentanyl
my understanding is:
there is plenty of non-quantized instrumental music if you’re willing to look, and even then dismissing all music doesn’t forego a strict grid (which in the modern day is simply a choice and artist can choose to make) is dismissing a massive body of work just because it doesn’t use a technique that you like
this kind of comment just reminds me of how people used to complain about distortion on electric guitars when it was initially discovered/invented/popularized
WebGPU, WebHID and h.265 are all unsupported on firefox
that said, i still daily drive firefox with mostly no problems, but saying that it can do everything chrome can is just flat out wrong
this is by design mind you, chrome have a big enough market share that they can basically just add whatever they want to the web standards and all other browsers just have to try to keep up. i imagine that’s part of the reason that chromium skins are so widespread
if you have a pipeline running eslint on all your PRs (which you should have!), you can set no-explicit-any as an error in your eslint config so it’s impossible to merge code with any in it
i think the argument here is more that saying “you can use this however you like, no questions asked” is a bad idea because it allows corporations to approriate the work
