If you don’t mind waiting a while for whatever it is you’re buying, ali-express isn’t too bad. If you’re near a city and it’s not too specialized of a thing you need you can probably find it at a a brick and mortar store.

I host my own technetium (recursive DNS) server and have my phone set to always be connected to my network through wireguard. I have nextdns as one of my upstreams along with mullvad and a few others in case those don’t work.

Get them PC components while you can, before they’re tariffed into oblivion.

You can’t see it but the genie also changed his name.

Hold up a minute, you are putting words in my mouth. I’m not even making any claims in my comment about how many Stalin killed or that he acted alone. Only the historically accurate fact that he is responsible for a significant amount of death and suffering, and that statistically it is impossible that everyone persecuted by the (Stalin lead) soviet government was innocent. You can argue numbers and western perception all you want but it is a historical fact that Stalin had the blood of innocent people on his hands, as many world leaders throughout history have had (including most if not all us presidents). Even if your claims are true it still doesn’t invalidate my point.

It’s not a double standard though. Killing one person who was objectively profiting off of the lives and suffering of millions of people is very different than killing/imprisoning anyone who disagrees with you.

That’s an untapped market!

Yea I did the same thing as you about 2 years ago. Gonna maintain and use this phone for as long as I possibly can before either betting another one or find a equally good or better solution that doesn’t give money to google(and hopefully one with a replaceable battery)

My question may have been rhetorical, but not disingenuous. I firmly and honestly believe people should have access to information to help them make choices. If you care about objectivity then you should provide some hard evidence to prove your point instead of just telling people they are wrong. Feel fee to try proving what kind of “agenda” I could have by beleiving in free access to information while you’re at it.

Yes people have the right to make shitty decisions. I’m sure you wouldn’t disagree that people should also have the right to know how their decisions affect them so they can avoid making shitty decisions if they so choose, right?

Awww, are the poor popo upset because they can’t violate 4rth and 5th amendment rights willy nilly?

Naw, they’re too big to be real.

Yea looking at the picture its definitely already been processed by a video switcher and who knows what else and probably has the right aspect ratio in the broadcast production truck, you can tell because the graphics are squished in the same way as the video. That means its either the truck engineer or master control accidentally squishing it after the fact somehow.

Ah Well, moving on.

Are sewing machines the new beans?

real talk though, you could litterally buy two steam decks for the price if one ps5 pro.

actually I found the joke to be funnier because it was litterally technically correct.

The meme is literally correct. when you make an audio file into an mp3, it takes some of the sonic information that our brains are bad at noticing and just…completely removes it(to save storage space). if it’s a high quallity mp3 its essentially completely unnoticable. That’s why it’s psychoacoustic, it uses psychology to fool your brain into thinking it sounds better than it does, litterally.

Psycoachoustic is basically just a big word for taking into account how our brains deal with what we hear.

Also I’m not saying mp3 is bad, in fact I think the opposite is true. I think it’s good to think of it like being the .JPG of audio, you’re not getting the original quallity and that’s the point and unless you need to do manipulate that audio file and its a reasonable quallity then you likely won’t notice the difference.

Ogg vorbis (.ogg) is a better codec though IMO.

Hydrogen should be air, water, and fire.

According to the cube rule of food identification this is correct.
