  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

    Jump

  • I don't mind a cover changing the meaning of a song, but stuff where the cover is just the song again is...lazy as fuck?

    Like Fast Car by (country music guy) is fantastic, but it's the same as the original, which is also fantastic. Feels cheap or something, I don't know. Like the whole Weezer cover album was boring as fuck. The songs are technically great, but why listen to that over the originals? Rivers said his goal was to try and reproduce the original sound, which seems like an interesting exercise for the band, but not for the listener. So that wraps back around to respecting the band.

    Anyways, I have a lot of strong feelings about covers. Make it your own, even if you don't change it that much.

  • Netflix is a public company, you can just go look at how wrong you are about this.

    They took in $9.3 billion in Q1 2024, and spent $702 million on "technology" and $3.7 billion on adding "content assets"

    Their net profit was $2.3 billion, for one quarter. They could afford to just charge less money, but the line must go up.

    I certainly avoid ASUS stuff after discovering that piece of nonsense on my new install.

  • Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

  • There's nothing pedantic about using Arch. There's a reason it and its derivatives are so popular.

    Way to show off how not-pedantic you are!

  • What does your current setup look like?

    Jump

  • I have a Lenovo TS140 in the laundry room, i3-4330, 16GB, 2TB of SSD running arch.

    In docker I am running:

    Plex, Wire guard, Qbittorrent, Pihole, my discord bot, nginx, and Teslamate.

    Works great, I'm probably going to swap my gaming rig in (5800x + 3080 12GB) with more RAM to host some AI stuff and the same services.

  • Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

  • It's windows security center, Everything search, locales, sound settings, time, copilot, surely not that bad.

    Everything is installed by the user, not sure why the locales are there, but maybe he swaps keyboard layouts?

  • I have a Tesla, they make it extremely clear that you are never supposed to touch autopilot under any circumstances, and you have to go way out of your way to prevent it from disengaging while you're not paying attention.

  • Anti-aging pill for senior dogs is now in clinical trials

  • Artificial insemination is common with the breeders I am familiar with. Though I'm not sure breeding racks are necessarily animal abuse, dogs in heat are fucking horny.

  • Anti-aging pill for senior dogs is now in clinical trials

    Jump

  • If people stop paying for dogs, they will stop breeding them to sell.

    Also, I accept death as part of life, but I still look both ways before crossing the street. I'm not getting off this ride any sooner than I have to.

  • Anti-aging pill for senior dogs is now in clinical trials

    Jump

  • Not all breeders are puppy mills, or producing brachycephalic breeds, but they are out there, and there's other breeders putting longer noses on pugs and Frenchies.

  • Anti-aging pill for senior dogs is now in clinical trials

    Jump

  • Why, though?

    I'm pretty cynical, but this is a new level.

    Greedy breeders already "produce" more dogs than there are loving families for and as a result dog shelters are constantly full with sad dogs who don´t have a home. This drug will result in shelters getting even more overcrowded.

    My dog lives longer and shelters get more crowded? That's a complete non-sequitor. Much like my choice of lunch doesn't impact your lunch situation.

    Perhaps my reading comprehension is poor, but the article seems to indicate that the pill will give a dog more "active years" and not necessarily more years. I guess we'll find out in four years when it's done.
