Going to be honest back when I was in high school we drew penises on the fields in the dew/frost. It was an all boys school so yeah.

The .opus audio format. People need to stop ripping everything to MP3, it’s inefficient and a flawed compression format. Opus is better than it and AAC.

It’s an American obsession.

Are you just going to pretend that there is no racism anywhere else? It was the Europeans that colonised half the planet and invented the concept of “whiteness”, and proceeded to divide and carve Africa up. Are you just going to pretend that this action has had no influence on modern European ideas around race and class? And I haven’t even mentioned the Roma people. Or the ongoing genocide in Palestine, which has a racial component. Or the rise of Hinduistic fascism in India. Or the issues around race in my own country in South Africa. Racism is a global issue.

Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad

Have you forgotten who colonised most of the world, including America? This is in no way an American centric issue. Racism exists in most countries on earth.

A lot more tourism to Cuba from the US.

the most similar instance to reddit, culture-wise.

Why would anyone want that? The whole point of being on Lemmy is to get away from Reddit

While the piracy community being among the biggest arguably doesn’t make for great optics

I’d argue otherwise. It is great optics to have a thriving piracy community. It keeps the corporate boot lickers out, and attracts the kind of crowd that we should want on Lemmy.

At home I have a set DML panel speakers set up in a 2.1 channel system with a subwoofer. The panels themselves are made of EPS polystyrene that has been sanded down and coated in wood glue, are about 1 meter tall, 30 centimetres wide and 2 centimetres thick (3 foot 3 inches tall, 1 foot wide and 4/5 inches thick) and have rounded edges and corners. Each panel has a Dayton Audio 10 watt exciter mounted to it on the location recommend on their website. The subwoofer is a ported down firing unit, which I have placed in the corner of the room for corner loading.

Yeah I am pretty concerned. I think if work from home or hybrid jobs start requiring devices similar to the apple vision pro, it will only further the divide between people that work from home and those that don’t, as well as increasing the barrier to entry to these jobs. Dividing the working class further.

Commerical and enterprise software client side.

What the actual fuck lmao. How does Skyrim in space win the most innovative gameplay award?

Gamers have lost their minds I swear

FLAC files use lossless compression, which means all the original data is preserved (which is why people like FLAC), which makes FLAC files smaller than an uncompressed .WAV audio file, but still larger than an MP3 file, which uses lossy compression. Lossy compression does involve the loss of some data. This is what allows MP3 files to be smaller than FLAC. With the existence of other more modern lossy audio file formats/codecs like .AAC, and .opus, MP3s should no longer be used unless it is required for compatibility reasons. The modern lossy formats offer higher quality audio files at lower file sizes than MP3.

TV On The Radio - Young Liars. The entire EP, or just the single with the same name from it, depending on my mood.

The single

The whole EP

Missed opportunity for a handshake joke

This should be a popular opinion honestly, because it’s correct.

The last of us is made by the same developers as uncharted and the first game is available for PC. The story is a lot more dark than uncharted though.

Your vote matters just as much as everyone else’s.

That is mathematically not true, the electoral college exists. Also, the candidate with less votes than their opponent has won 1/3 of US elections in the 21st century. So even if the voters go out and vote, there is a 1/3 chance the person that gets the most votes will lose the election in modern US politics.

No it’s not too late, you’re only 25, that’s pretty young. Yes other people have started dating much younger, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter much. Focusing on yourself and your career and education can be attractive to others, so don’t worry about having “wasted time” or anything. Losing weight if you’re overweight helps, same with gaining weight if you’re underweight. Just be sure that the primary focus is health and ignore all the unrealistic body standards in movies and on social media. You’re doing well to put yourself out there, don’t worry about your friends, I’m sure you’ll find someone single that wants to have a relationship soon. You seem to be on the right track, so don’t worry. Avoid all the weird dating advice on the internet, it’s not helpful.
