- Comment on There's ads on an apple 1 day ago:
I watched one episode of Abbott Elementary once. It wasn’t very good. Not sure if I like the idea that some ad person thinks this is the sort of show for people who enjoy fresh apples.
- Comment on Streaming on mobile 1 day ago:
First of all, most media players are streaming/network capable, they don’t even advertise it. Just feed it the URL.
You can even integrate user/password combos for http simple auth into a direct link. Not the safest; just to avoid people getting wind of a free radio station and overloading your server. Unless that’s you want, but then you should be aware of legal stuff.
On the server side, you can run your own radio station with something like Icecast. That’s its own topic.
If you want to choose what you listen to remotely, you are most likely looking at something Subsonic-compatible (apps exist). People say Navidrome is good. I am currently running jellyfin, it’s not subsonic compatible but apps exist, too.

Please, government of the USA, do not bail them out. At least not any more than what you’re already giving them.

I never thought of Hummus as a typical leftover food. Does that bear out?
- Comment on Border Patrol Agent Recorded Raid with Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses 5 days ago:
Sounds like what these idiots did during Jan6.
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
It might take a while, but we will get you all.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 5 days ago:
I guess as a user I just don’t want all my apps to open a tab in my browser. I want to move apps between virtual desktops and monitors independently and I don’t want my app’s window to be clattered by all the menus from my browser.
All this is already possible with most browsers.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 5 days ago:
All major browsers can do this - with the exception of running something in the background I guess. But that is exactly the sort of usage scenario where an Electron app is the worst choice. Coding a separate utility with no GUI would be the sane thing to do here, not put whole browser stacks into memory.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 5 days ago:
It’s because people want cross-platform apps and web is the easiest way to do it.
Just use the website then? There already is a suitable browser installed on every system. But no, people want apps. Makes it easier to stop people from having opinons about data collection and such. And the full browser stack needs to be fully reproduced each time. It gets really ridiculous when these apps sit idly in the notification area. Not to speak of security implications because electron apps and such usually don’t get timely updates.

No, Razer, your “mouse driver” does not need to load Chrome at all times, when I’ll only ever look at it once.
It’s funny; on Linux such devices work perfectly but many users complain that they “aren’t supported” because there’s no UI (that sits uselessly in your notification area and eats memory).

And the reasoning he unfolds. - Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 5 days ago:
I didn’t! Had to look up online compass that had degrees on it.
But it doesn’t surprise me that any company’s PR guys would come up with things like that.
- Comment on Are all dinosaur fossils 'replicas'? 1 week ago:
FWIW, I recently watched a creationist video and they complained about the same thing - and showed footage of one of the few real skeletons 🤦
Dinosaurs were real. We find their bones all the time. You can imagine that they’re not in pristine condition. We classify them and mull over them together. We build reconstructions. Some contain mainly real bones. Others don’t. They are still of educational value.

Why do we have 2 separate words for good and bad? Good and ungood are totally sufficient.

Comedy Of Errors
A beautiful euphemism. We could apply it to all of the USA’s current admin and its activities.

Everybody gets sick evtl. and if health care isn’t available chances are it won’t get better or it’ll leave permanent marks.

AMD marches “against Intel”? How so? Or do they mean AMD makes good processors and sells better?

- Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer. 1 week ago:
put every comment and commentator into the prejudged boxes they regard as right and wrong.
I hate that this is commonly known as “politics”. To me, this is a sports event. I still like to think that politics is about discourse, compromise, coalitions etc.

- Comment on People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage 1 week ago:
You have changed your tune from
You haven’t heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998.
to something much weaker.
I stand by my original statement: That’s bullshit.
- Comment on People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage 1 week ago:
I already commented yesterday. Now I read your replies. I must say, you really do not have the whole picture here and you should stop arguing this theory right now. Esp. this part:
You haven’t heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998.
Maybe try bandcamp.com to listen to the rest of the world (and realize how big it is).
