Audiophiles need to bite the bullet and renovate a room to be more acoustic friendly and move all their audiophile shit to that room for the optimal listening experience.
And also you’ll be getting the same listening experience with like $500 gear lmao.
I can hear the noise coming from my headphones when i plug them to my motherboard or to my screen.
Must be a really shit board, I haven’t heard any noise from a default sound card on a motherboard for more than a decade now.
Ridiculous, sounds like a half assed management ploy to cut down on labor costs. It is now your duty to burn through all the tokens they paid for and declare it to be shit even if it was somewhat useful.
Are they worth it? Yes, if you have money for burning.
Ain’t no way it’s worth it, audiophile gear is 99% placebo. It’s kinda like wine, when you’re past a certain price point (that’s not actually that large compared to the really expensive stuff) it’s all the same.
Eh Trump is gonna flip flop on this in a day or two anyway.
My work is requiring me to start using AI
Why would they absolutely require you to use it? How would they know if you didn’t?
i cannot understand why it ever became popular to simplify the already simple part of programming and make the already hard one way harder.
Writing the initial code was never simple to me unless it was trivial code, debugging was usually faster. Also setting up all the boilerplate is always boring as shit, might as well have the AI do it just don’t overdo it with using it.
Heh, let’s see The Orange Idiot wriggle himself out of this mess. 
I should probably reign in this behaviour, even jokingly fedjacketing people can still lead to a culture of suspicion, and there are other ways to call someone out if I disagree with them than calling them a fed.
Good call. The amount of fedjacketing I see in online leftist spaces is really messed up IMO, gives off deranged conspiracy theorist vibes and it also shows a lot of unwarranted self importance, the feds most likely aren’t making up elaborate personas to rile up terminally online visitors of very niche online communities.
sitting around in your house all day jerking off is self-evidently bad, as is playing slot machines all day, as is eating processed foods all day from your magic fridge.
I think we’re basically in agreement then. I was at no point trying to defend the porn industry as it exists today, sorry if it came off that way.
Yes, commodifying sex is bad because commodifying anything is bad. When porn ceases to be a commodity it will become less harmful, much like anything else.
I’m really not sure what point you’re making here, do you think there wouldn’t be porn sites that people would use as masturbation tools in a communist society? Why is “instant gratification” inherently a bad thing? When you open your fridge to have a snack you’re “instantly gratifying” because you’re not involving yourself in the entire process of making food.
Yeah that’s true, I guess it’s considered kind of a vice that’s normalized, kinda like smoking.
and online pornography, which commodifies the most intimate and shared human experiences, and only serves to further atomize and alienate us from each other and ourselves, sucks.
Pretty sure people would make porn and share it in a communist society too. Not everybody considers sex as this sacred intimate act that needs to be hidden from the rest of the world, some people are just naturally extremely horny.
and a lot of that unhealthy relationship is caused by the stigmatization of porn in the first place.
Is it really that stigmatized? Like maybe in very religious communities but overall I think it’s fairly normalized.
For a while i thought i was ace but I’m just not that into sex or talking about it.
I mean isn’t that what being ace is? Honest question tho, I’m very much very horny and have no idea how ace people work.
Why though? Why do you prefer that?
Because it tends to get really weird really fast. Most people would probably be reasonable about it but you’re almost certainly going to attract a few major weirdos too.
Basically a “bad apple spoils the bunch” kind of thing.
I agree with you like 90% but I don’t think you can say it’s not real at all just because they decided (for now) not to classify it as a mental disorder. There definitely exist people that have a very unhealthy relationship to pornography that it very negatively impacts their lives.
I agree it’s way overblown due to religious brainworms tho.
Damn that’s pretty cool I always though it was just my retinal receptors spazzing out due to the combination of the color and light intensity.
It’s a shame because this update was promised to bring a huge performance boost but honestly if anything it feels slower than before.
Marginally, if anything. Quality electronics are nowadays available for cheap, it’s not the 90s anymore.
