Seems so, but I don’t think your spelling is any better :D

Seems your text to speach app is shite if that’s how it sounded to you :p

I’m just trollin’, anyway I added a word so theres no more confusion.

I don’t want a detailed 3D rendering of balls showing up while scrolling in public

Speak for yourself

I am?

If your goal is high quality audio, you’ve lost the battle the moment you put Bluetooth in the signal chain.

As for shielding usb devices, I’m going to guess any respectable DAC over $40 will be okay in that regard.

I’m mostly poking fun at the audiophile scams that claim absurd crap. It would not suprise me if one claimed that even a quality usb cable was the cause of all your troubles and you need some overpriced word vomit cable to achive better sound.

I’d prefer it that way as well (less to try and catagoize and no is it W or P gray zone to figure out), but I think nsfw has become so ubiquitous with porn that not many use it for other stuff. You either have to restablish the nsfw rules (and moderate) or create a new tag to fill in the gap.

I like that channel alot. They get into the science while keeping it understandable enough to learn the basics.

Since you like Branch Education, check out (if you havn’t found them yet) Deconstructed, Animagraffs and Jared Owen. They branch out from computers and each do other cool stuff like motors, gas lighters, helicopters, Nerf guns, rockets, and the Kripsy Kreme donut machine.

I assumed it was some either some BS article telling us about a BS AI usb product …OR a BS audiophile article trying tell us how crosstalk from your usb cable will ruin the sound and we need a 800€ ultra high density thbtq insulated core USB 7.0 type Zed cable.

Apologies for the rant

We really need a thrid tag. (And NSFL to be a supported tag/filter feature like nsfw)

It should have been;

• NSFW = anything you wouldn’t wan’t your boss/coworker/stranger in public to see.
• NSFM = not safe for minors; in other words, porn.
• NSFL = gore, death, etc.

Theres no way anyone will agree to change nsfw now, so we’ll have to go for something else. I propose;

• NSFP = not safe for public. This is for things like “sexy pics”, dark, potty, or sex humor (pretty much all of C&H), and that “ball vasectamy switch” post from eailer. It’s a funny post, but personally I don’t want a detailed 3D rendering of balls showing up while scrolling in public.

Edits to include link to the ball post I referenced, and an example community that I belive would fall under my NSFP tag (Cyanide abd Happiness). https://lemm.ee/c/cyanideandhappiness Plus general spelling and grammar fixes as I find them.

In other words, asshole design is only one part of the enshititification process.

It works wonders. I’ve blocked so much crap on YT. Everything including the shopping ads, the little white watch more popus, the related video popups, and whatever else I’ve forgotten about.

My home feed is nothing but actual videos I can watch - no shorts, catagories, special promotions or other junk.

I also set my bookmark to the subscriptions page, that way I always start there. No need to “ring that bell” when all the latest stuff I’ve subscribed to is the first I see.

If I understand correctly, its what the NSA “allegedly” doesn’t do to U.S. citizens already. Except, these countries are being public about it. This way they can actually follow through without the “secret getting out”.

Its like blindly following a child (perferably yours/related to/babysitting) as they explore the park and doing whatever they come up with for fun.

I went for a used chair from https://www.crandalloffice.com/

They completely replace the foam seat, so its really only the frame that was used. Significantly cheaper than buying new and safer than buying used from eBay/garage sale/etc.

Why not? my cereal does.

They could have come up with a new character…instead they got rid of it all together. Just say its Jemima’s niece who carries on the recipe.

Is it worth it, I say yes you should at least be comfortable enough operate a vehicle in an emergency. I’m not sure your age or circumstances or where you live, so I’ll go off my experience. Getting a car allowed me to get a well-paying job farther from hone. Having reliable transportation to work is super helpful. The monthly cost of a car bill, insunace and gas Is cheaper than a $15 one-way uber ride 5 days a week + any other trips for grocery, food delivery, appointments, social/family, etc. If you’re somewhere with good, reliable public transit, then the benefit may not be as extreme.

As for actually driving;

1. The most important thing to understand is cars are death boxes on wheels. Every time some one gets behind the wheel they become responsible for the death box.

If you’re struggling with theory, then please do not get behind a wheel.

1. I’m curious about what kind of theory exams you are taking. If they they are online, could you share the link? It’s a completely guess, but I wonder if you’re taking ones that are more for someone who’s been driving for a little while on a permit.

2. Are you able to take drivers education courses? Having an instructor (or family member) take you to an empty parking lot is the way to start. Do not practice alone. You will only reinforce bad habbits. Theory becomes a lot easier when you practice it. It takes time, that’s why the whole permit system exists, it gives us time to learn with someone guiding us through new situations.

3. The “laws, rules and stuff” are written in blood. Without them the roads would be chaos. It is impossible to know every rule, however there are universal rules that need to be learned. Just as we learn how to behave at a restaurant, store or library, drivers need learn the rule of road - If we don’t follow them - someone could die.

4. The second most important thing to understand, after learning to respect the car for the death-box that is, is to assume everyone around you is a complete moron. Keep your distance and do not engage - be on the look out for them to cut you off, run the red, roll through the stop, make a U turn over the curb, kids jumping out, insurance scamers, parked cars doors opening etc. This is called “defensive driving”, you get better through practice and expirence. You should always be aware of your surrounding and be prepared to stop with zero notice.

5. The third most important thing to learn, is acceptance. Accept you are just another moron on the road going from point A to B, and sometimes you will fuck up. You will miss an exit, or take the wrong turn, or end up in the wrong lane. The best thing to do is to drive predictably and keep going foward. If your stuck in a left only lane, go left. If you miss the exit, get off at the next one and turn around. Stopping abrutly or cutting across 3 lanes is good way to get somebody hurt. There will always be a way to turn around and go back.

6. The fourth and final thing I’m going to type out is to find the balance between being too nice and being an ass. Don’t do things like stop randomly to wave a car out of a parking lot, or letting a car go when you have the right away. Take your turn and assume they have no idea you’re there, so proccede with cation.

The crazier part is that I have no problem spending $40 on those 8 hamburgers over the course of a month, but god forbid I spend $20 on something that should last years.

Some board room somewhere

Bossman "Alright team, what should we change to ensure our company is not seen as racist according to white people on twitter?

Person 1 “Increase represtation of different races and cultures across our brands?” ejector seat activated

Person 2 “Hire someone qualified to have this conversion?” ejector seat activated

Person 3 "Get rid of Aunt Jemima so people don’t accosiate our brand with black people anymore?

Bossman “brilliant! Someone get me a raise for coming up with that.”

You can edit titles on Lemmy, make say “BS journalists throwing google under the bus to get more ad revenue from google ads.”
