I've got a ~80k library and it seems to handle it ok. Scanning isn't very fast, but it does pull up a lot of cover art and artist profile pictures, so that may be why. It doesn't seem to respond at all to changing tags for fi

That's like saying cars are crap because it's not as powerful as a truck. Both are completely different classes of vehicles optimizing for different use cases. So are lossy vs lossless codecs, you can't just say one is superi

Could you elaborate on Opus being a crap codec? AFAIK it's a state of the art lossy codec for high quality sound/music (and some other applications)

Joke's on you, I think nowadays it's more enjoyable to use windows 98/95 compared to 10/11. You may have to forego an always connected workflow but i guess that's good for your mental health too :)

Sorry for the whataboutism, but the US looks more and more hypocrite when they sell themselves as the paragons of democracy and free trade, ready to save the world from authoritarian China but are fine selling AI and AI hardware (and armame

Why is that bad? If a powerful entity can scrape every piece of media humanity has to offer and ignore copyright then why should society let then profit unrestricted from it? It's only fair that such models have no legal protection aro

You said it's compatible with hardware from 15 years ago, but one of the examples have the graphical complexity of half-life from about 25 years ago, could this engine be optimized further to run on hardware from that vintage or at lea

It showed trenchbroom being used to make maps and I don't think that can be used to develop goldsource maps, so most likely not.

As a counterpoint I'm a heavy firefox user and haven't had crash in many months, and even that was because I was testing some experimental webgpu thing which I had to manually enable. It has its fair share of odd bugs but what kin

Even 20 years ago mices weren't always that reliable. I used to have a Microsoft ball mouse from the late nineties and I remember the micro switch giving up after about 4 years. Even the replacements (albeit much cheaper/more gene

I remember "acquiring" Gimp in 2000 from a CD-ROM magazine as a child and using that for a good while until an uncle gave me a pirated copy of Photoshop 7. I actually disliked using Photoshop because I was so used to the way of do

What happens if the loop executes some non-idempotent calls? I guess printf debug still has some value :)

If Krita isn't easy enough, then Photoshop isn't gonna be any easier. (assuming we are talking about simple/common stuff...)

Read my post again, I'm strictly talking about the audio format and not about the codec nor compression. I would expect anyone caring enough to compare CD quality 44khz and 192khz/24bits to be using lossless or uncompressed audio,

Which still means it's a remaster/different mix. I used to be like you many years ago, thinking that high samplerates and bit depth were essential and the ultimate way of getting the best possible sound quality, but in reality 44.

Are you sure you are not comparing a normal release to the remastered version? There are plenty of albums out there that have "improved" or remastered versions but are not labelled as such in the album title, and Selected Ambient

As soon as nvidia was mentioned in the article a chill went down my spine reminding me of my treacherous experience trying to use ubuntu with the nvidia drivers back in 2007. Every second reboot the drivers would break and I would wind up h

Strawberry is a pretty solid Amarok fork that is picking up steam. They are now releasing multiple releases a month and in my opinion it's a great "fully featured", gui first, easy to use player that handles large libraries w

Computers are primarily used for copying data, and thus by extension are perfect piracy machines. Should Nintendo go on an epic crusade to ban computers because many people use computers for piracy? It doesn't help that the copyright s

How much reliance on third party am I subjecting myself by using Tailscale? What happens if I make a local connection to a machine/service running on Tailscale, does it still go out of the local network? If so, is the bulk of the paylo

That's why I'm a big fan of a linux gaming/home theater PC for the living room. A lot less overhead and upkeep. GNOME + Steam Big picture + Plex/Jellyfin/MPV + Retroarch is a pretty nice "couch experience"

Also, those accounts were used by people who were investigated by the equivalent of the FBI, the Policia Federal (PF). The initial request to block those accounts AFAIK came from them, and the fact that this case ended up in the hands of th

I'm all for diminishing copyright power, but it has to be done for all. Besides, how are you going to keep that carve out from letting everyone use AI as a giant copyright laundering scheme? Does that mean piratebay could have saved th

Authoritarianism would be if the government was pre-screening everything that was posted, having agents routinely shaking down social media companies or acting without any support of the law. What happened here is that bad actors have been
