Opus @ 160 kbps is like MP3 at 320 kbps IIRC.

Lossy at what bitrate?

The stuff on YouTube is already lossy and it becomes more lossy when you transcode it.

When I think of sideloading, it’s installing software without using an app store, because that’s the name of the command in adb. You plug your phone into your computer, open a terminal, and do adb sideload path/to/my/app.

Yes, that’s worth pointing out. Human trafficking is illegal no matter what age the victim is. What Epstein did would’ve still been wrong (and criminal) even if none of the women had been minors.

Yeah, Stallman needs to educate himself on human brain development. The decision-making centers of the brain don’t stop developing at 17 or 18 but 25. So, a lot of people are wrong on this, unfortunately.

It’s like asking if schizophrenia is okay.

Now, if you’re talking about child molestation, that is clearly and unequivocally wrong, but if that’s what you mean, you should say that.

I didn’t say anything about reddit. Who said anything about reddit?

But yeah, you got me. I don’t know anything about this niche reddit community that you’re obsessed with for some reason. I guess that means that I’m living under a rock.

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?”

The only place I hear people even talk about tankies is on Lemmy. You are really in an echo chamber if you think that tankies are the first thing that people think of when you mention Lemmy. In reality, it’s either “What’s Lemmy?” or “Lemmy is too difficult. Federation confuses me.”

What kind of tea? I hope it’s a nice roasted oolong.

My anus is bleeding!

I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.

I found learning Linux much more fun, because I didn’t have to fight with the computer on every damned thing.

my time on this earth is finite (for now)

Let me know when you get that immortality hack working!

Probably because there are a lot of open source projects that are close enough. Retroshare is one.

Leetspeak is older than that.

I don’t recall any actual person saying they had an issue with it before corporations started changing it though

I have heard people complain about it.

I always thought it was a precautionary measure more than likely thought up by a committee looking for exactly this sort of thing…

What makes you think that they have a committee like that?

People think it’s “master” as in “master/slave”, but forked branches are not “slaves”.

I think they’re just uncomfortable with the word “master”, and that seems completely reasonable to me, especially when they’re people from a group which has been subjected to slavery.

Aliasing cat or any other ubiquitous shell utility to a replacement is a mistake. Garuda did this, and it was driving me crazy why cat was giving me errors. Turns out that they had aliased bat to cat, and since bat is a different program, it didn’t work in exactly the same way, and an update had introduced some unexpected behavior.

Drop-in replacements are dumb. Just learn to use a different command.

You can use Ctrl-R and Ctrl-Shift-R to search through your history instead of having to push up a bajillion times.
