Sigh... they have perfectly legitimate uses too. You can't play Zelda in 4K @ 60fps on a switch... I really wish this angle of thought would die. Stop parroting what the business fucks tell you.

FREE is super important. There's lots of people in the world who can barely afford their computers, let alone the software to run on it. Personally I launched my career from a self-education that made heavy use of pirated and open-sour

The dog (a german shepherd) uses the backyard to run literally all day long. She'd go crazy cooped up in the house. We both use it for fetch all the time. I use it to smoke since I can't do so in the house. The shade from the big

All this speculation about the nature of AI is nauseating. Why does it need "human" intelligence. Why can't it just be? Artifice reveals its ugly head yet again.

There is too quantization, you cant get to any bitness without quantizing the raw waveform at some level. A signal that exceeds the maximum amplitude allowed by the media will behave dramatically different as digital bits vs an analog groov

The math is similar so GPUs have been hijacked by AI nerds Gamers everywhere are pissed that GPUs are so expensive now.

I grew up DJing with vinyl, it is as much about the wicky-wicky as it is the ritual of carefully and delicately placing a needle before going off to smoke your cigar. Though for me its more about blending and beatmatching... the feeling of

A fresh record on a clean needle with a good turntable will sound identical to a CD, if not slightly better, because the physical grooves will not have the same quantization as digital

Microsoft has sought to dominate the living room long before Xbox.... remember Windows Media Center? I don't know if it is still their strategy (seems like not by your post, I don't have an Xbox One S and my living room runs Kodi

> Community-based media sharing is great. I wish it was possible for me to lend all of my Steam games when I'm not using them. You can do that, actually. It has some pretty big caveats, but if you are not actively playing anything o

It's not altruistic, its stripping the browser down to its most basic essence. It is the core functionality. Why do we humans have such a hard time acknowledging an abstract thing without dirtying it with our stupid ambitions? Nothing

Has anyone gotten GTK to compile on Windows without using MSYS? I would love to use pygobject with Python but the build chain and how to get it working is extremely confusing to me. Back in the days of gtk2, pygtk2 used to work wonderfully

So, what, D&D owns fantasy or something? Ha ha.... no. I don't recall Diablo ever messing about with THAC0 or D&D specific rules. Cribbing "level up" mechanics is about the same level as music sampling the amen break.

The people who desire and authorize this sort of manipulative crap to be put on websites needs to have very bad things done to them. Manipulative money men are the bane of tech.

Not my 7-11, nor any of the other ones nearby... everything is clearly labeled, 20oz soda is a 99c (or 1.49). San Diego. For the love of god what freakin city are you guys all Stockholm Syndromed on?

Jesus christ, what cities are you in? Like come the fuck on. Here in San Diego overpriced sandwiches are $6-$10 at the local 7-11, and that is still way too much.

Because smartphones are designed to keep you stupid. Computer literacy means you are able to poke holes in their shitty abstractions. The industry does not want you programming or creating, the industry wants you to be consuming. Preferably
