the problem of age verification
what exactly is the problem, though?
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 1 week ago:
Yeah, definitely agreed. There are so many edge cases. I tend to put new downloads/purchases in an “intake” dir and then run that through picard, which then saves it at the final local storage path with whatever tags I decide to use

I don’t have a fursuit.
The really frustrating thing about that fact is that I commissioned and paid for a fursuit, and yet I have no fursuit.

Why, what does it do better than picard?

I also have that one folder of random shit that I’ve avoided sorting for the last 20 years.
pff I have so many folders like that that I have folders for those kinds of folders. I should probably put those folders all into a single folder…

Snoop has got to be the biggest sellout in the entire history of music.

I fucking need one

hey now, they’re flac files and painstakingly sorted with the help of musicbrainz picard

If they’re mandatory they should be provided free of charge.

I’ve seen that exact same shit. Well not exactly, but as you describe elsewhere, shimmery. No pain whatsoever, just that strange visual artifact

Nah, they aren’t. His videos are racist and queerphobic and toxic as fuck

As was his video itself

understandable fear, and a fear I share - but I still buy weed anyways. I decided not to let that fear keep me from enjoying one of the few still enjoyable things

Which state are you in? That’s the most important thing to know to suggest getting weed

Right?? Like some shit doesn’t have to be part of the competition…
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 5 weeks ago:
Hetzner is really trashy though. They seem to suspend or permanently ban folks for no good reason.
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 5 weeks ago:
The first sentence and the first paragraph of the article:
even if that data is stored overseas

Yes they are. Yes the fuck they absolutely are.
- Comment on Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfire 5 weeks ago:
Actually insane to say that Collective Shout is blameless. Go look at the vile shit their members are spewing. Not only are they demonstrably culpable for this, they’re also engaging in hate speech and disinformation and targeted harassment.
The payment situation is also to blame.

I thought GPG was bad? I don’t have enough personal experience with it to quickly summarize or opine on the merits of either of these two articles, but:
The PGP Problem: www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem
What To Use Instead of PGP: soatok.blog/2024/…/what-to-use-instead-of-pgp/
I do agree with “fuck NFTs” though, and mostly agree with “fuck cryptocurrency” (mostly because porn and drugs are in my view legitimate use cases for at least a hypothetical non-environmentally-destructive cryptocurrency).

Ughhhh. WHY. Completely unnecessary to put that shit there.

Get a Steam Deck OLED if you want a Steam Deck. Don’t wait for a hypothetical next version. I have both the LCD and OLED, and while both are excellent, the OLED is a slight improvement in a few days (lighter, less bezel, 90hz instead of 60hz, obviously you get an OLED screen, and the CPU/GPU are a tiny, tiny bit beefier).
- Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance 1 month ago:
FedEx drivers routinely lie about folks not being home to accept delivery, but in reality they never even go up to the door to ring the doorbell or knock on the bell. Having evidence that the driver never showed up can help dealing with FedEx to get a package that they repeatedly fail to deliver.
That’s about it though, I don’t actually have a doorbell camera at the moment (I did, but it died, and I haven’t bothered to replace it), and I really resent the mass adoption of surveillance cameras pointed out at public roads and sidewalks, especially Ring cameras which have been repeatedly shown to be readily available to law enforcement.
