  • Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?

    Jump

  • Nope. I have fast internet and good displays and I still prefer 720p video. I just don't see the benefit of multiplying the filesize by 4 to see marginally more detail. Even 4k, if I wanted to have a 4k display, I've seen people's displays and after the initial disorientation and crispness, the appeal wears off. 720p is perfectly adequate.

  • It's not just vibes. Americans' perception of the economy has completely changed.

    Jump

  • No matter how you slice it, there's a gap between how the economy is doing and how Americans feel about it.

    Why do they keep insisting that we are the ones that are wrong? The economy isn't their numbers. The economy is a real thing, proper operation of which ensures well fed people.

    The purpose of an economy is to fond optimal distribution of resources for people. Ultimately it's people that need all the things, right? Either things are materials to produce things for people, or products useful to help other products reach people.

    If the people think that's not working, it isn't working. They're not just parroting what they see on the news, they're living day by day, minute by minute in this environment. They see what day to day life costs for them. They're wrong but the eggheads tracking the over fitted model are right? When a measure becomes a goal it ceases to be a good measure, that's where the disconnect is. If you want to fix the economy then quit pretending your metrics are more important than people's standard of living.

  • I've been trying to figure out exactly what the point of this is. I haven't asked Alex (haven't talked directly to him in a long time as I have mostly abandoned fedi) but I know he's the first prominent fedi dev to sort of pivot to nostr (a good sign; too many prominent fedi people are more interested in preserving their fiefdoms than the ultimate goal of all this) and has been building some interoperability stuff.

    What I see at first glance is an attempt to slap fedi social model onto nostr? Trying to create a client that gives users a TWKN and local feed of some kind? I don't know, perhaps someone can clear it up for me.

    Anyway, I don't really see the point, a primary benefit of nostr is the lack of network fragmentation and siloing. There's some fragmentation that does occur with failures to fetch notes from relays and things, but not the network splitting and banlist passing and siloed networks like you get on fedi. Trying to shoehorn that UX back into nostr kind of misses the point IMO. I like the idea of community creation as a sort of organizational thing for feed curation without direct follows, it helps discoverability, particularly along lines of shared interest, but I don't really see how the "web ring" like follow structure doesn't achieve that already without the downside of building silos. A global feed, I see no point of that at all.

  • Do you pay for some pirated contents

    Jump

  • Pretty often. Most of the newer stuff I like to listen to is on there.

  • Do you pay for some pirated contents

    Jump

  • Yup, same. I haven't pirated software in a decade or so. I'm not much of a gamer, and the software I do use is almost all FOSS.

    Books, eh. I'll buy an epub or PDF that I can download. I'm not "buying" something that can disappear from my library after license agreements change between corpos. I don't want paper, too heavy and voluminous.

    They don’t like our decisions, and they don’t like how they anticipate we may decide some cases that are coming up. That’s the beginning of the end of it

  • Epic won’t update Fortnite to run on the Steam Deck. Tim Sweeney says Linux is ‘a terrifically hard audience to serve’ (2022)

    Jump

  • Plus He's talking about the steam deck here. That's 1 configuration. And Rocket League is already on steam for those who bought it before epic did, runs fine in proton. The dude is full of shit and making up excuses, it's obvious this is a business agreement and nothing to do with practicality and in lying about it he's hurting his reputation.

  • A 2.5" SSD and a sata to USB cable, Mullvad and torrents-csv. I don't have time for all that overhead, maintenance on that stuff is worse than the time you supposedly save by automating everything. I used to do the deluge seedbox dav server thing, and I had to disassemble it for a reason and found my life got easier after that. Every now and then I just back what I've downloaded recently up to the drive.

    I do want to run a seedbox again, but just to archive and make available certain things that need to stay available. All the jellyfin owncloud and all that stuff is not worth it to me.

  • Yeah, when you have criteria like that, sure. That's like trying to find a specific engine configuration on a used car. You're basically looking for a custom specific used thing.

    My criteria for thinkpads is "is it a thinkpad." Usually I can find one for dirt cheap that works really well. Swap out the drive, if it supports libreboot, add some ram, as long as the CPU is OK it doesn't really matter to me. I bought an x260 the other day from a rando on the fediverse for 80 bucks that I was going to give to a kid but is now my main workstation. I didn't even change anything, it's as powerful as I need.

  • EU elections 2024 live: Emmanuel Macron dissolves French parliament and calls snap elections after huge far-right gains

  • When people feel ignored in a democratic country, they begin to feel like the democracy they live in is a sham or that democracy itself doesn't work.

    Votes like this aren't necessarily about "we need a different direction" and more about desperation and/or anger. They want to show the elites of their country that they still have the power, they want to cost them something for treating the population like it's there to be harvested from, they want to shake up the status quo at all cost.

    They want to prove to themselves that their vote still matters.

    Letting it get to this point is really bad governance. Once you get here, either they win, or they don't. And of they don't, most of the people who support them have their suspicions confirmed, they don't live in a democracy, they voted and didn't get what they want, again. This creates a division that is difficult to come back from.

  • Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help?

    Jump

  • The site says 200tb, and I'm mostly interested in the nes, SNES and genesis archive. I've got archives of every game made for those already, but I don't have every mod and such. Those archives are very small, the nes one is a few hundred megabytes. I'm guessing most of that big number is ps1, 2 and n64 games. I'd probably be interested in archiving those as well but I think the old pre 3d console games are probably worth saving more, since not many people have copies.
