- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 1 week ago:
don’t say it too loud the nerds on here will be angry at you (you’re already getting down voted for no reason)
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 1 week ago:
do a blind test between plus 320kbps which Spotify premium uses and FLAC and tell me your score then
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 1 week ago:
why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if…
- you have the right hardware
- you have the ear trained to hear compression
- you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
- you are in a quiet room
- you are actively looking for compression artifacts
you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)

are you stupid or sarcastic?
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 4 weeks ago:
categorizing sports between women and men separately always seemed weird to me. Why is it not a global ranking? A global ELO system that makes sure every athlete fights other athletes in the same ELO range, doesn’t matter man woman because it’s based on performance/skill instead.
- Comment on Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears 1 month ago:
such a large statement with such little evidence
- Comment on I just realized some people LIKE talking to each other. 2 months ago:
… yeah? I love talking to people who match my vibe or people I find funny or people who have interesting stories
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 2 months ago:
It wouldn’t say corruption, I think it’s more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 2 months ago:
this would get a normal person’s car impounded and drivers license revoked. why can a company get away with it?
- Comment on Avocado 3 months ago:
that’s untrue
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
TPM and trusted computing/boot chains are some of the single most important security measures that we’ve had in the last decade. I can agree on the kernel level stuff though that’s a bit bullshit even though I understand why low level access is needed for some anti cheat tasks and DRM prevention. I think there should be APIs provided instead of having to install unknown modules
- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 3 months ago:
here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it

I swear I feel like I’m getting brain damage every time I look at YouTube shorts comments

Why is it green
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 5 months ago:
As a non native English speaker I have more difficulty constructing my sentences in ways that make sense in English. It’s a lot harder to put my ideas into text in a coherent way that sounds right than it is spelling the words correctly especially with auto correct and syntax highlighting
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 5 months ago:
Idk i ditnt notise anyting unujual
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 5 months ago:
Do it if it means you have a good time and a funny picture afterwards
Plus most girls I know would actually like a guy who’s not afraid of not being “nonchalant”. I think if a girl you show this picture to is turned off by it, it’s a dodged bullet for a materialistic/superficial relationship anyways.
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 5 months ago:
To let you skip the article, they are pausing sales to the USA on the base models of the framework 13, presumably because those are their lowest margin models. The two affected SKUs for the moment are the Intel 125H and Ryzen 7640U
- Comment on Elon Musk's X/Twitter to clamp down on parody accounts. 5 months ago:
That’s actually a good change. “Parody” accounts have spread uncountable amounts of misinformation during the last election. I remember some time ago there was a Justin Trudeau “parody” account that was obviously controlled by a very right wing person because they kept posting fake shit under the name of Trudeau

Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4
- Comment on What is the difference between same brand or different brand different 5070Ti gpus? I mean prices vary quite significantly 6 months ago:
The main differences will be the overclock that is applied from the factory, and that mostly depends on the quality of the cooler and fans, and the quality of the power delivery components. Lower end cards will have louder and less efficient coolers, and a less capable power delivery system which will make an overclocked card less stable and more prone to overheating. But in reality the difference is minimal, like low single digit performance difference minimal.

- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 7 months ago:
I know it can’t take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can’t. And that’s because most jobs aren’t doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt
