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?

Unless it plays Xbox AND PC games I’m not even the slightest bit interested. Even then I’d still probably prefer the steam deck or whatever iteration of it exists in however many years.

Well they certainly won’t win, but I feel like they will try at some point.

So they’ve already embraced and now they’re extending. Give it a bit more time and they will start to eliminate.

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

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.

I wish I could turn the amazon ai generated bs in the product info search off permanently, as I only tend to use that search to figure out what actual people have said about the thing I’m looking at and I don’t trust a LLM to not hallucinate some random bs for something important I’m trying to figure out thanks.

Let’s all hope the publisher doesnt fire the whole damn studio right before launch like is apparently common these days.

Honestly, if I’m costing the company that made my TV money just because I refuse to let it track me, all the better. They deserve it for trying to crab that shit up my ass in the first place!

If you have a nice enough router you could connect your TV to it and block its Mac address maybe.

Sorry, but we cannot verify that you are human, please try again later.

Please try again

The 5th of November…oh shit that was yesterday.

Are we in the V for vendetta timeline now?

Well, theres “working” and theres “working well”. Capitalism is not working so well anymore and its likely going to work worse as time goes on. more things will become automated, wealth inequality (and therefore a gap in political power) will grow, and companies will keep expecting increased growth in a world of limited(and in some cases, decreasing) resources. Capitalism currently “works” in the sense that its making resources move around, but thats about all its doing for regular, non rich, non well off people(and often is not doing even that much for them). It’s simply not sustainable when unregulated, thats why we need a well regulated economy.

Tbf theres less expected emf on that set compared to a normal set because the boom op is not using headphones.

Wow, that’s like if 2/3rds of the US population made a request… every single second. thats nuts.
