I don't love the pejorative "normies".

now do the rest of the world.

install random third party software that may be sniffing or leaking information to remove shady features from windows that sniff and leak information.

With kbin and lemmy, there’s a spark of the good ol’ days, but the players are all scattered across so many disconnected grids. I’m sure there are some great communities popping up, but they may be fleeting, or instances might crash and disappear. Mastodon is good, and growing every day and also has some of that Ye Olde Twitter Feels, but — BUT! — I don’t have a lot of fun on it.

Has anybody found any fun communities to share?

This is a good reminder to remember people are human and may have a life outside of the computer.

Thanks Ernest. Hope you get your issue fixed up. Your health is more important that software.

would you rather they leave security holes open exposing your computer to bad things?

quality web design sure, but Meta/Facebook is also well known for using dark patterns to promote stickiness and engagement. They’ve built Facebook to be addictive and keep people on it.

I feel like the author is pretty clueless when it comes to audiophile grade digital audio players. They’re remarking about the $900 price tag like it’s some kind of high water mark for a device when there are Astell & Kern and iBasso units that cost 2-3x that.

The Sony Walkman devices are consistently well-rated. This is going to be a good player for those looking for a dedicated music device.

conde nast, the same company that is a major investor in reddit owns them. You may also be familiar with several of their other publications, Vogue, Golf Digest and The New Yorker, to name but a few.

I have some anecdotal evidence of Spacey being a real creep while he was in our city shooting some films. He was notorious at a local bar and even banned for bad behavior around some of the men there. I have no doubt he's a total creep.

you realize modern browsers have millions of lines and over a decade (or two!) of legacy code running that are under constant scrutiny by actors who spend all their time finding exploits in binary executables, right?

you realize your operating system also ships system updates on a regular, often daily basis, right?

I bought this recently and the installation and setup experience was so broken and painful on W11 that I uninstalled it out of frustration.

Graphics were ganked (only showed the top left 25% of the screen on 4K, stretched to fill the screen),
Required a UPlay account signup that sent me to dead servers,
Wouldn't use ASIO with my big boy audio gear,
Wouldn't calibrate using "mic" mode plugged into a DI port on my interface and on and on.

It's just a disaster and I wasn't willing to put any effort into figuring out how to de-UPlay the thing and mod it.

Do Not Recommend!

yeah, good tips. I got frustrated and table flipped on it. I found out about the ASIO mods after the fact. Still annoying that they were selling this product in this state and getting away with it.

“interim” CEO…

that hasn’t been the case for years though you do need some apple software to make it work. Or you can use Files and connect to Windows over file sharing (smb).

They could probably make it easier, but then they’d have a harder time selling you up to a Mac.

I wish we could get Steam Link on Xbox. That’d be the ideal solution for me since I’ve got the controller already setup. The Shield is probably a decent solution, but it’s an extra device in the chain.

put it on yer face!

I have already been updated! Nice work!

Sending positive vibes! Good habits make good software.

Digital (hard drive) > CD > Vinyl

lossless digital because it’s searchable, accessible and manipulable.

CD as archival storage. Slower to acess, high quality, lossless.

Vinyl for archival and playback. Something awesome and magical about analog.
