I kinda feel like an idiot right now for being out of the loop on this but why is it a bad thing to remove floride from drinking water?

Nah, I’m not. Besides, what?

I have to confess that I don’t actually use FireWire, nor have I ever used it to transfer anything. I just thought the port looked cool…

At this point, that wouldn’t be enough. They’d need a new, better CEO at the very least
- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 1 week ago:
It’s gotten to the point where I have to re-load each YT tab three times before the video ever starts playing - only because I use uBlock.
Still better than watching ads, but it is getting annoying.

I believe Microsoft introduced a similar feature into Windows 11 not too long ago, and because cramming as much “AI” as possible into everything is kinda all Software companies do at the moment

It’s so infuriating that politicians still can’t accept the facts when it comes to climate change. Like c’mon, it’s only the biggest existential threat to human kind…
- Comment on France to sue Australian platform Kick for 'negligence' after livestream death 4 weeks ago:
That’s actually what I’m wondering about, every article seems about the platform it happened on rather than the people involved (apart from the victim of course)

I’d say Mr. Inbetween, although I know literally nothing about Aussie TV beyond that show

Thanks, it’s always great to hear the details from some guy for knows his shit
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 1 month ago:
In my experience, it’s still pretty hit or miss. The smaller indie labels tend to get it right more than the big names.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 1 month ago:
I don’t think it’s actually a real term, but I kinda mean that it’s nostalgic to people who can’t really have nostalgia for it because they’re too young to remember it being the main music format.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 1 month ago:
Cassettes don’t sound too bad if you actually have good equipment, which most people nowadays don’t (because most can’t afford collector’s prices for decent decks). I was born in 97, vinyl records were long dead by then. Most people who get into vinyl nowadays actually grew up with iPods (hence the term “fake nostalgia”).
On a solid system, there’s a lot more fidelity in the bass on vinyl.
Eh… it’s pretty much all down to mastering, but vinyl records have a limited dynamic range compared to CDs which makes the bass more pronounced maybe? Not something I’ve noticed but I tend to prefer clear high and mid range anyway.
