I make people upset just by using my eyes and brain, as such please be careful to ensure your tears do not get into your electronics, thank you

  • don't ask me, I don't know specifically how it works. I just know with a premium spotify account it'll give you 320kbps mp3s, without, you're limited to 128kbps. Sets the album artwork and the tags automatically, it's great.

  • that is because this meaningless platitude is supposed to statistically be applicable to most people, it does not actually guarantee squat.

    In other words, hope and pray you're in the majority.

  • "Why do we even have that space suit?"

  • H20?

    I'm not sure how you'd bond twenty hydrogen atoms together, but that sounds... particularly explosive.

  • Hey, long as you're working on it. I've been working on ripping my entire music collection from Spotify the past couple months before I tell them to go fuck themselves for the ICE ads, after ~10 years of paying for their service. I'm aiming to be done before January.

  • sounds to me like all of your shows should become free. Properly free.

    Remember, companies die when people stop giving them money.

  • I fucking love this sort of supernatural horror movie, not necessarily "oooo spoopy ghost", but some eldritch otherworldly horror that bends reality.

    Highly recommend checking out Oculus, Session 9, and Grave Encounters. All of them share the theme of "this place/thing is evil, and it will fuck with your head extensively before killing you". Event Horizon is also good and in the same vein, I'm told, though I've yet to watch it.

  • It's almost like having a single point of failure, putting your entire digital life and livelihood into the hands of a single uncaring corporation, is a bad idea or something. wild!

  • keep going, I'm almost there

  • I know this is a shitpost, but

    "Your details are [...] not stored"

    "We'll search for you in our database of breached personal information"

  • you know, it would've cost you zero dollars to not post sexy grinch.

    Not one red cent.

  • It's not different at all, is it Steve?!

  • Because "brain chip that reads your mind to help with depression/bipolar disorder" is barely a hop, skip and a jump from all sorts of fun dystopian nightmares. On the tame end, something that already happens, is the makers of implantable devices going out of business; and then you have unsupported, degrading medical hardware implanted inside you that, if it malfunctions or breaks, you're just stuck with and can't get it fixed. Bad enough when that malfunction is with a vision- or hearing-related implant, but a brain chip could fuck up all sorts of things if it goes wrong.

    On the more fanciful, yet-to-be-realized end of possible terrifying outcomes, the sky's the limit -- mind-reading, malware, rudimentary mind-control, the list goes on. I realize that sounds very sci-fi and like I'm a paranoid crackpot, but this is actually far more viable than you might believe at first. If they're actively already trying to make them effective at treating mental disorders, if they are indeed effective, then that doesn't require much further tweaking to go from treating them to causing them.

    Truthfully, BCIs have the potential to be so dangerous that they either should not be developed or should only be developed with open standards and user control in mind. And absolutely not developed by for-profit entertainment companies.

  • Truly heartbreaking.

  • I fucking despise this kind of gaslighting. YouTube does it too, with their "experiencing interruptions?" popup that then takes you right to the FAQ section telling you to disable your adblocker and that it may cause problems. no, you drooling fucking simpletons, you are causing problems deliberately, problems I will circumvent without disabling anything out of pure spite.

  • [jaunty guitar begins]

  • authentic first-hand piss drinking experience, the kind of content that only lemmy could deliver. excellent

  • Right? I'm just saying, the chart is clearly incomplete, we can make this funnier.
