They're trying to praise the Machine God, little do they know the Omnissiah considers abominable intelligence a deadly sin.

I've noticed pretty much zero disruption on Firefox with uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock despite Google's best efforts. Every time I thought I'd eventually be paying Google the Danegeld to avoid the firehose of spam I've been pleasantly surprised.

The old low pressure sodium lights we had in the UK were great on this front. They were about as efficient as LEDs as well but the bulbs got too expensive to make, so the last factory making them in Europe closed down and they mostly disappeared quite quickly.

I reckon they should switch street lights over to monochromatic yellow LEDs, they'd look the same as the old lights and not affect insect populations so much. They're good for astronomers too as the light is only one wavelength.

It depends on the artistic and technological intent I think. Valve (tube) amplifiers are inferior to any modern amplifier in every way you could actually measure with an oscilloscope yet people still build them and valves are still produced they same way they were in the 1950s because the imperfections they produce in the sound can sound pleasant, which is down to psychoacoustic factors which have subjective as well as objective components. A photo that looks exactly like what we’d see naturally is one potential goal but it’s not the only one in my opinion.

IP maximalists really screwed the pooch by inventing the term ‘piracy’ for copyright infringement, they made the act sound ten times cooler.

There's enough astroturf on Reddit for a continent's worth of obnoxious suburban fake lawns.

I'm not generally anti-Donna when it comes to the Grateful Dead but there's definitely the odd track delivered with all the grace of a toddler with a recorder. Then again, every member of that band ruined the odd track at one point or another!

Still wish I had been around to see them more than any other band though.

That’s fundamentally why you can’t replace a software engineer with ChatGPT, only a software engineer has the skillset to verify the code isn’t shit even if it superficially works.

Thanks! I know what you mean, you’re right the flow will improve with practice especially when I’m properly used to playing with a click track which I’d not done until recently.

There really needs to be granular NSFW settings on Lemmy, or more correctly I need to improve my Rust so I can go and implement it myself instead of bitching about it!

I’m not anti-porn but I don’t want it mixed in my normal content. Other non-sexual NSFW stuff is fine 24/7, artistic nudity is fine 24/7, but I don’t want to see outright porn unless that’s what I’m specifically looking for!

Getting people angry drives engagement, YouTube probably thinks you’re going hate-watch it and make them more tasty, tasty ad impressions that way.
