It’s still in beta and audio appears to not always work when streaming. Though, there’s recent activity on the related issues, so hopefully it gets out of beta before Discord alienates the regular user.

I tested it a few days ago and besides the audio problem it appears to work very well.

EndeavourOS is pretty neat. I use it on my main rig where I run updates at least once a month, since it gets unruly if not updated regularly. Also, yay and the AUR is absolutely wonderful. No more scavanging the net for rogue .deb or appimages.

I use Mint on any mobile - or less often used - PCs since it doesn’t care if I don’t update it for 2 years, and it’s default settings are decent.

And yeah, Debian for servers with BorgBackup (encrypted, and the deduplication+compression is insane) through SSH with a systemd service. It’s just set and forget. I update them whenever I remember, and stability appears close to unparalleled.

What about Edin, bruh?

Is that in relation to DHT? Never got quite into it, but if you’re using a tracker then I’d imagine the tracker would handle the peer2peer reverse NAT problem.

Paying for the unique opportunity to see the newest, moistest, and most intrusive ads*.

*Also comes with a limited selection of movies and series.

And the above was literally how I was thought to represent data in university. Maximize the areas of interest, make sure to properly label your axes (lest they become misleading), and remember to trim empty space where relevant.

But it appears that proper graphs for science and engineering reports may not be used for representing data to the common man, as it must be assumed that, even for the most simple of graphs, the common man will only look at the funny line, but not the graph itself.

I was of the impression that reading a graph also required understanding of regular writing/reading, but I’m no native speaker, so I’ll gladly stand corrected.

I’m not sure what you mean by “one of those little zigzag indicators”, do you perhaps mean leap/break in data denoted by the “Squiggle”? I don’t think any data below 7m is included in this graph, so, if I understand you correctly, then that wouldn’t be a proper use of said squiggle.

Seems fine to me, the axes are easy to understand and there would be a lot of unnecessary whitespace otherwise. Though, it does require some reading comprehension, and that one actually looks at it and not just skims over.

Ideally, a .mp4, or any other non-executable file format, would not be able to execute rogue code on your computer, but the programs you use to open the files with might have security flaws which allow rogue code execution if done right.

You might have a hypothetical file, which might not be dangerous if opened with VLC, but which exploits a flaw in, say, Windows Media Player version x.y.z to execute a payload.

Sorry, for not including any examples, I’m currently not at the PC.

Not sure if i understand the request, but there’s the !trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com community if you’re looking for open signups.

Enshittification-wise it is both, since the current main reason for AI enshittification is the LLM enshittification bleeding out. But focusing on AI as a whole for being the problem would not be unlike “fuckcars” being called “fucktransportation”.

A new “fuckcars”-like community whose name doesn’t even target the source of their frustration? Neat.

Gamedevs, researchers, and factory engineers sitting in a corner mumbling something about “appropriation”.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s hijacking of the term “AI” to mean “LLM”, and those who just blindly follow along and thereby help alienating those who work with AI (not LLM), are a sickness.

Everything nowadays that attempts to give back a little autonomy or freedom to the user is called piracy.

As long as an app could theoretically be used for piracy, even if it was made to circumvent toxic behavior of users’ bought and paid for products, then it must be properly labelled as piracy and taken down.

I’ll better stop before this becomes a rant.

Haven’t heard about that one, thank you for the heads-up.

First impressions:

• From top 10 artists i follow:
  • 5/10 have profile and uploaded at least one song on Bandcamp.
  • 3/10 have an account on Audius (possibility to donate).
  • 1/10 has uploaded at least one song on Audius.
• One MUST upload a profile picture to create an account.
  • About 1/3 of proposed artists during account creation have uploaded <5 songs, most seem to be remix and cover artists.
  • Didn’t figure out how to search for artists during account creation, ended up choosing 2/3 artists I’ve never heard of.
• Not immediately apparent whether I can download bought music to a lossless format.
• Not sure how to buy album or individual song at first glance.
• LOTS of remixes and covers, not so much original songs (this is both good and bad).
• Nice that you can donate arbitrary amount without buying anything, in case you already got the music from… other places…
  • I didn’t find anyplace where “$AUDIO” is explained, how much the artist receives, or what you receive if anything.

Less relevant observations:

• weird pause/play button, sometimes there’s just a loading wheel spinning where it’s supposed to be, not really functional.
• Slightly intrusive, had to disable some plugins (Javascript (obviously it’s playing music) and fingerprinting (cloudflare?)) for the site to load. Not relevant to music, but just a general observation since we’re in the piracy community.

Not much going on by now, but it probably just needs some time to grow and assimilate the likely soon-to-be-migrating Bandcamp user base. I’ll keep an eye on it, and probably revisit it once more artists have migrated to it.

But we’ll still need a proper place to support our favorite creators (where the artists actually receive some of the money). I wonder where people will migrate next.

Most foreboding quote 2024.
