We do have a lot of rain, specially in this time of year, but we have something here that is called a schoonloopmat which cleans/dries your shoes quite good. That together with hard wooden floors throughout the house makes I never take off my shoes at home.
I’m not American and I always wear shoes in the house. Why the fuck not?
Who cares. If you have a shred of privacy awareness, you’d steer very clear from it.
I agree completely that this can have negative impact on discussions, stimulate karma farming etc. So I’m all for it to hide it. Would be nice though to completely skip it from the UI (of in this case Boost).
I really don’t understand why companies use these tactics. Makes me instantly hate them and leave their website/cancel purchase processes etc. never to return again unless it’s absolutely completely unavoidable. Rather pay a bit more than dealing with scummy/scammy businesses.
I don’t entirely agree with you. Comparing the same song in MP3 or FLAC on the factory-fitted audio system in my car (2023 Skoda Octavia Combi) already makes a huge difference. Of course the difference is smaller when using 256 or 320 kbps MP3, but even then FLAC just adds that extra bit of depth and “openness” to the music
FLAC files are typically larger than MP3, because with MP3 roughly 90% of the original file is discarded on encoding, hence lossy compression. At decoding the codec tries to restore this 90% out of the original remaining 10%. This sounds worse than it actually is, but you understand why MP3 is considered inferior by audio purists.
On the other hand FLAC uses a different compression technique that reduces the original file by 30-50% but without any data deletion, hence lossless. So, original file let’s say 100MB as .wav, compresses to 30-50 MB IN FLAC and 6-10 MB in MP3.
I gladly sacrifice the additional storage to get noticeably better quality audio.
My old and trustworthy Kenwood KRV75R receiver. From around 1985 and still rocking!
Yeah, exactly the same here. Oh well, time to switch again.
Although not his biggest fan, but Bono has had quite an interesting life so far. Him or George Michael.
My wife and daughter do yeah. Blaring kpop at 7 in the morning. FML
Forgot the “out”, bit decided to just leave it for the lolz.
I snorted my coffee, thanks.
Downvoted for making a point to support devs who built FOSS. I’m getting some “nice” Reddit vibes here.
I’m definitely not trying to shame anyone. Just saying it’s the gesture that counts. Even donating 1, 2, 5 dollars makes a difference. It’s a big thank you to all the devs who make all these awesome apps and tools for free. And in my opinion nobody is too broke to show their appreciation for these people, even if it’s just a very small amount. It makes a hell of a difference to those devs.
Hema rookworsten FTW
Not too broke to own a PC or smart phone to be here, so easy excuse imo. Small bits also help, it’s the gesture that counts.
Does it? How so? I’m using Voyager as well and I see it mentioned in similar posts as well so not too much of a rarity I guess.
Absolutely! Immediately subscribed as I found them and happy with the activity over there.
