Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Here's for 2 years since I joined LemmyEnglish0·14 days agoI had no idea they went public
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Volume [Mr Lovenstein]English0·16 days agoAgreed. In computer terms it’s similar to using integrated graphics when you bought everything else to be a gaming computer. I mean, the integrated graphics will work, but it feels like you’re missing a curcial component there. Or buying a computer with a spinning hard disk as it’s main drive now. You have to go into the purchase thinking of the whole usage in mind, not just what’s on the screen.
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Volume [Mr Lovenstein]English0·17 days agopeople don’t like spending money, and it’s the entire problem. Visuals people will shell out money for a great TV, but then complain that the audio is terrible. Really people need to invest in both. If you are watching a movie on an expensive TV but didn’t do anything for audio, well then of course it won’t sound good. TVs aren’t designed to have good audio. They give you a speaker to be able to listen to something, but it’s a small cheap one or two in the back.
Fact is that for movies it’s a video and audio, and people should be thinking about both. People don’t need to go spend another 500 bucks on a 5.1 system, but even a cheapo sound bar for 150 is going to sound better - because they made it for audio. It’s an audio device. I have zero surprise that people can’t hear things well from a device that is meant to display visuals first.
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Volume [Mr Lovenstein]English0·17 days agoFor the sound engineers, your not wrong, but they don’t have the power you think they do. Asking for another take is an annoyance but accepted by the camera team and visuals, but audio is often overlooked, and you can’t just keep mixing a bad take. But, directors are on a time crunch and so a sound guy saying “actually I know that take was perfect but we can’t hear anything” is usually ignored.

I officially dropped Plex about 4 months ago now. For 90 bucks I got something like 8 years out of it. I’ll call that a win, I don’t feel like I wasted my money, I don’t feel like I overpayed. Just moving on now.
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Score one for atheism!English0·20 days agoA good addition, I agree. I know my mother draws her strength from the church. Without it I’m sure she would be depressed at home. It would require someone showing her how to be self reliant and grabbing satisfaction from that to get her going again
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Score one for atheism!English0·21 days agoThat no matter how righteous you believe you are, there are ramifications to your actions with religion. It’s very easy to understand and be comfortable with those beliefs, but with others you are quite literally messing with their identities who they are.
My family is deeply religious. I personally don’t care if they believe in God or not. I focus on individual teachings, that gay people aren’t evil, that they can be religious and believe contradictory things to what others believe, that it’s all deeply personal
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I contribute processing power to the community?English0·24 days agoGood intentions, but I would be wary of anything not official like foldingathome or boinc (both great projects I recommend)
The reason is other people are horrible, and while your intentions are good, it’s significant risk. Lemmy had a csam attack a while ago and I immediately moved my instance to the cloud because I learned that if I even accidentally hosted anything it means immediate seizure, self hosting it means they plow through my door and yank the servers.
Tor nodes, peertube, you open yourself up to that risk
Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Happy Mothers Day to everyone.English0·1 month agoThis is sweet, happy mother’s day to those moms. My mom pushed me into things I didn’t like and told her I didn’t like. So this gave me emotions lol
That’s what I thought was happening, There’re no other system things that need to do?
