  • I’d spend 100M in a month easily. Especially after I’ve bankrolled GrapheneOS, Ladybird and all my favourite FOSS projects. They also didn’t say anything about charity which IMO isn’t gifting. Once I feel like I’ve sufficiently contributed to society I’d buy a 50ft sailboat, pimp the shit out of it with solar and fuck off forever.

    With the billion I’d establish a fund that pays out monthly to any projects I deem worthy and funds all food banks in my local area indefinitely.




  • I’m not here to troubleshoot this issue. I don’t have the technical skill or understanding of this platform to do so.

    I’m sure I’m not the only one with a working banking app. We don’t all use mainstream banks, right? There are options and I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

    Thanks for insinuating I’m a liar though. That’s nice.

    I’m on a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS and a working banking app with no special fuckery because I genuinely don’t know enough about android to deviate from what’s offered in the stock Graphene experience other than using the FUTO keyboard and customizing basic settings just like everyone else.


  • Honestly, based on your comments here I’d say that this is a you problem by proxy; I’d bet that it’s your dad that’s done you such a disservice raising you that you now reject compliments from 50% of the population of earth. That’s a problem for you.

    On the sexual side, if you can’t see any positive in another man showing you any sort of attention in that way, that’s a problem. Its not gay to receive a compliment, man. Just say thanks and move on with your day. EZ PZ.






  • Its funny that human perception seems to be anecdotally tied to double digit milliseconds when if you ask any drummer or guitar player about input latency they’ll tell you that the absolute maximum round trip latency to be able to enjoy playing the instrument is in the range of 5ms.

    Only once latency dips under 5ms does it start feeling “right”. Personally, I groan when I have to use anything over 3ms with my guitar as the second I hit high tempos the latency is unbearable.

    Below 3ms it gets very hard to say that you can feel a difference.16th notes at 250bpm with 5ms latency has you approaching 10% of the note separation time. It’s 100% perceivable.


  • AFAIK, Heilung shouldn’t be considered traditional music. Many elements of their music are borrowed from unrelated cultures. Throat singing for example is not a Scandinavian tradition. They also use Hindu instruments in their compositions. Heilung themselves don’t even describe their music as traditional, yet they have some rabid fans that try to shoehorn their work into scandinavian tradition, muddying the historical waters for anyone unfamiliar with scandinavian tradition. Cool band, but yeah. Odd dynamic going on here.

    Still, I bet a collaboration would be cool.
