  • Discord is not something that is easily indexable or linkable. Which means you have to rely on other people if you aren't part of it. This is a huge issue as anything can be faked

  • I use nvstreamer1080 to change the res when I use sunshine. I also have a dummy HDMI that goes up to 4k60 hooked to it

  • I guess that would explain why I never use other formats, the compression itself isnt important to me, just being able to send a folder of files without a bunch of uploads

  • Really can't relate, I only use 7z and compress to .zip it's literally the most common format and I never use zip files for anything other then sending files.

    Honestly I don't even know what the real difference between the compression formats are, even as a sorta Linux using geek

  • Tried on a spirit flight recently, didnt work

  • You should be able to transfer the Playlist to qobuz (the app will do ask if you wanna do this using soundiiz) and use qobuz-dl with a free trial to download the playlist

  • Locked down software is shit don't get me wrong, but being able to jailbreak it feels so good.

  • Setting up accounts on last.fm and/or listenbrainz is a must for those who want to track listening habits, make charts etc. See https://feddit.de/c/scrobble if you want help setting it up.

  • Yeah, I've spent more money on smaller bands through Bandcamp then I ever have on streaming services, all thanks to piracy, since I realized it's much better for offline files.

  • Yes the effects would be terrible for everyone, that's why I am against it.

  • Coming from the wiiu I learned it quickly. It seems wii u ports kept touchscreen support for menus but new games didnt bother

  • I normally hate the Democratics due to them being just being the lesser of two evils but I must say this makes them look great

  • This appears closer to something like steam's remote play together, where you can connect to local multiplayer games with streaming. You could use it as a sort of GeForce Now service, but it wouldn't be the best way to do it.

  • The meme is a good case of correlation doesn't imply causation. In countries where vpns are a must they might have better overall download/seed because of generally better internet. (Which also isn't always the case, plenty of places in the USA have just as shitty down/up

  • Sticking to FOSS and decentralized apps as much as possible. And using less invasive apps like Firefox over chrome. Be willing to jump shit when corporate throws in bullshit if you have to use something closed.

    This is the only way to slow the spread of enshittification around the web. It will be less convenient for the end user, but ultimately it's the only way to stop big companies from fucking the web

  • I was moreso referring to dealing with the dark patterns that apps use in general, not the school doing that.

  • This was my experience with schooling as well. Sure I had my phone but it wasn't what I needed to lose focus. The issue is how school is taught. I've had classes where I'm so focused and invested because of the professor and content. My mind wouldn't even think about being bored. But some professors are honestly shit and don't engage enough. Couple that with the general school environment and boom nobody wants to be there.

  • I appreciate your comment. I have personally avoided tiktok due to other parts of the internet (as well as coworkers and friends) portrayal of it. However you shed some light into things I would actually find value in as a person. I do see this sense of community as very good thing. My concern is more on the side of how addicted one can get to it, but I assume if it is giving them a community they never had, is it a bad thing?

    I actually quite like your conclusion. Targeted ads have added nothing of value to the common person. I guess it also is part of the reason I blame the addictive nature of these apps, they want you addicted to show ads and make money.
