  • I guess I have to put my foot in my mouth over a comment I made a month or so back. I had said an XBOX handheld would sell out against the Steam Deck simply due to brand recognition.

    This was of course before I thought they’d be dumb enough to make a console twice as expensive aimed at the mass market. If this was targeted at the same price as the Deck, they might have had a chance.

    I don’t know anyone that would consider one of these now.

  • I work in a design industry that requires a lot of source files so I end up having to constantly switch. Lists when I’m looking for the relevant folder, or looking for a particular file based on name, or icons if I’m looking for something based on image. There’s no consistent way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut among different OSs, either.

  • I agree that listening in public is a crime.

    On a side note, if anyone here has heard some of the latest gen iPhones, they honestly sound dramatically better than the vast majority of Bluetooth speakers, especially when held sideways for stereo. At medium volume with my eyes closed, it sounds comparable to my MacBook speakers. I’m seriously shocked at whatever magic Apple is pulling off there.

    Obviously neither compare to an audiophile setup, but they’re far above listenable.

    I’ve not yet heard an Android compare personally, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

  • I’m the Supervisor - Infected Mushroom

    I honestly recommend everything from them if you’re looking for unique sound. The He.art album by Astrix also has some weird.

    Enigma also has some great soundscapes. My personal favorite album is MCMX A.D.

  • But that’s exactly what an encyclopedia is. The internet isn’t Wikipedia. The real difference was that the library was now in your living room. You didn’t have to hope they had the material on hand and wait weeks for something specific if they didn’t have it already on hand.

    There’s also just the idea that, with a library, you already have to have an idea of what to look for. You’re always browsing by genre in an alphabetical, organized fashion. With the internet, it could become discovery-based. One link could lead you to 13 others and those all branched again. You never knew what to expect.

    A book contains either one really clear idea, or a reference with no substance to a bunch of random stuff.

  • That’s just it. Someone might not realize that all that info was passed to the server when it failed if they weren’t thinking about it. They’d just correct their mistake and move on with their day, especially if they’re new to server administration as I’m sure many (not necessarily most) Lemmy admins would be.

  • There’s other hand-craft trades that don’t involve sewage. If you get into the commercial space, there’s a good chance you’d deal with it a lot less if at all since they would need a specialist for biohazards.

  • It’s like if the It’s Always Sunny characters took more effort to pretend they were good people, but silently ruin the lives of everyone around them.

    I actually enjoyed it if only because it can give some context on how people justify some of the absolutely insane things they do. Very much a slow burn.
