  • I understand. I posted a comment here about the article you posted...that's what we do around here?

    EDIT: Oh I see. That was the royal 'you'. I'm referring to the author.

  • Well that's quite unimpressive.

  • It's common knowledge now. This is not an unpopular opinion. There's a metric shit ton of research and studies that show all the ways social media is hurting us. There's a plethora of books written about it. It is the most current topic in New Media Theory.

  • Ok Dwight.

  • I must be missing something here. The article never seems to answer the obvious question. Why exactly are you writing an article about what it would be like without red bull? Is there something wrong with winning a lot? Isn't this the nature of competition? Big companies do this everywhere in racing. Why does it matter more now with red bull?

  • Yes, but how is that not a legitimate explanation. There's enough Americans on lemmy to see a few posts with English title capitalization.

  • I have two Jabras, low and high end. I really have no complaints. I listen to music at work and switch over to calls on Teams seamlessly. Good battery capacity. "Hear Through" at the click of a button. The bass is too high but that can be easily adjusted in the companion app.

  • Bond lands are the best lands.

  • That happened.

  • Same. I used to play shows wasted as hell. Sometimes I wouldn't even remember playing that night. I was having fun and thought I sounded great! But truth is that I was sloppy and never really progressing my skills.

  • Absolutely. I gave up drinking 2 years as well. I'm a better artist, musician, employee, husband, and father. Alcohol just sucks.

  • Whoa. That should not be on by default. I'm all for experimental UI but I doubt many users will know what's happening with their volume. Apps should not be remapping hardware buttons in unfamiliar ways.

  • How to feed your computer dust.

  • My 2019 Jetta has a 100% digital instrument cluster. It's currently broken...just a black screen. It's neat how reliable analogue instruments are.

  • It sure does. There's a lot of research in the study of New Media that points to the superficial nature of how we connect online. We're sharing banal content to weak-ties constantly. It's not real human connection. On social media we are often just staring at everyone's highlight reel. It's unhealthy. You should read, "Alone Together" by Sherry Turkel.

    But it's not all grim. If you read about Participatory Culture you'll see there's an upside to New Media technology, which is the ability to be content producers, not just consumers.

    Social media often fails to connect all 7 billion of us in any real, meaningingful, human way. We're all just really busy being alone together.

  • Why did the booger break up with her boyfriend?

    He was just a fling.

  • Alan Watts contextualizes our daily lives as the outer, "fine spray" at the edge of the big bang --still exploding. Planets "people-ing" and your daily schedule, relationships, accuisition of goods, etc. is just the complex late stage of the big bang explosion. The explosion is chaos but as time goes by order slips in and creates "complexity". This is all still an explosion.

    • Noise rock
    • Stoner rock
    • Industrial
  • Ryobi.They're cheap and work fine --no problems yet. Their bits and blades are garbage tho.
