I think it's fair for them to point out (however snarkily) that Windows is not the most popular OS. In the context of the discussion, I think it matters that there is another OS, Android, that is more popular.

No it isn't. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I like from the million music-listening experiences I've had. Sure, maybe to get a perfect eq curve for my tastes I would need a perfectly neutral setup. But not really ju

It's putting tiny holes through thin cardboard at point blank. Sure it could probably injure your eye or something but it's not on the level of like a real handgun. Of course, the headline just says it was 'seized'. That

If I know that I consistently like bass boost, it’s rational to buy headphones that are tuned that way by default.

People have been shown to enjoy different eq levels, and they are generally consistent in their preferences

by lukas099 2y ago

Roundup (glyphosate) is not targeted either, except for not killing roundup-ready crops.

Well, we don’t want prices to go down. That would be deflation, which is worse than inflation.

Problematic? You are taking elements that cause ocean dead zones and recycling them to generate food. Sounds close to the best possible system.

Of course if you like something you like it. Just so happens that kidneys are not one of the most universally liked ingredients is all I’m saying

I don’t think American food is particularly revered either though, is it?
