Apparently the newer version fixed that issue but it’s not default. If you update it you can mess around with it in the settings.
There’s someone in the comment here that explains it.

Man. I still use winamp to this day and I’ve been using them since they came out.
It’s the only music player that organizes the music in a way that makes sense. I love the library interface.

- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
That’s not how that works. The contract is in and of itself a violation of the first amendment. Therefore it has no legal binding. They wouldn’t be able to remove the offending media from any platform or sue for damages if someone breached the contract.
If there are internal ramifications due to a breach of contract that’s something that could be handled internally, such as the content creator not being offered any review materials in the future. But a contract wouldn’t be necessary for that either way.
Moreover, specifically for satire, there are whole acts in the law advocating for it. There is absolutely nothing, no clause or agreement that would ever prohibit someone from publicly satiring any given entity. Regardless of any contract.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
The point of the contract is that if one is in breach the company can sue for damages and potentially remove the offending media.
The suing process would be through a legal body such as a court system, in this case federal court since the media is on the Internet, therefore the contract doesn’t hold any legal binding. No federal court would uphold a contract that violates the first amendment.
Contracts adhere to laws and rules just like any other legal document. You can’t just put whatever you want into a contract and have it be binding.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
They literally can’t do that. Satire is a protected right under the first amendment. Anyone can make public satirical remarks regardless of signing that contract.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
That contract has absolutely no legal bearing in any way shape or form.
Let them go to court over this, get thrown out and counter sued.

- Comment on What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison? 1 month ago:
In the federal system they have prisons with built in long-term medical to facilities.
They’re able to provide every kind of medical treatment and procedure necessary even hospice.
However, if the prison doesn’t want to deal with treatment due to financial concerns they’ll do what’s called a " compassionate release" usually for terminally ill prisoners.
It looks better for the prison if one of their guests don’t die while incarcerated.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
How can you hate a concept that doesn’t even make any sense.
It’s like saying I hate the idea of the color red.
Also, I’m perfectly fine with bees. We need more bees.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
If you have the ability to hate an entire demographic of people based on the actions of a few in that demographic you really need to take a moment for some self-reflection.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
No body hates veganism as a concept in and of itself. People dislike vegans that think they’re better than everyone else because they eat no animal product.

- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 1 month ago:
You wouldn’t need to raise it as a baby.
The reason that humans come out as babies in the first place is because if we came out with fully developed brains, our heads would be crushed through the birth canal and the mother would probably die. Therefore, our brains have to mature as we get older which of course takes decades.
Growing up is a biological imperative.
In terms of artificial intelligence or large language models, there would be no need to actually grow in physical size.
Which solidifies the point a person already made here is that it would be a fundamentally different kind of intelligence one that simply needs data input And will not need the ability to grow up as a child would.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 month ago:
The only reason I still even use Windows is because of destiny 2. That’s pretty much the only game I play. If there was a good stable way of doing this on Linux I wouldn’t even use Windows at all.
In fact the only computer in my house that even has windows on it is my gaming rig.
