FLAC's on NAS. Bluesound Node to stereo system, controlled with Roon. PlexAmp when remote.

Tidal is actually giving their lossless plan to their lower tier subscription, just got an email about it. Pretty nice.

I think the dance dance revolution mechanic is trash, but I could accept it more with a gamepad. And the movement and animation is absolutely intended for an analog stick, so when that translates to a "D-pad" (wasd) it feels janky. But I haven't actually played it with a gamepad so I really can't say, but I think it's not good on kbm.

Shocked I say, shocked

Gave Helldiver's 2 a whirl but it's shitty with MKB. If you're willing to play a shooter with a controller it's probably pretty good.

DRG Survivors is fun but my first autoshooter, so kind of weird. Great to play with one hand tho. This one I do play with a gamepad ha

Poof indeed, sir, poof indeed.

You don't need to, but when you have to look for work and are on LI they are there

With win10 you should be able to click the small text to get a local account but yeah I think with newer win11 installers you have to be off the internet for a local account. And then when you do log in with your MS account to save your license (important when using a Win7 OEM key to license win10) it would convert your profile to online, and then you had to "do steps" to put it back to local. Annoying af

It's working now. I did reset my router today to get IPv6 working for me, so unsure if that changed anything or in was on your end, but FYI.

I am on Android mobile. Firefox only prompts to download downloadfile.bin. Duckduckgo browser actually opens the file contents. I'll post it here, since I'm getting it from public I'm hoping that's okay. This is the content...

I am on mobile, and it does not open

I brought up the Chinese concentration camps once, so not sure how I "keep yammering" about that. And I just searched, there is a considerable level of discussion here by large news outlets so I'm hardly spewing conspiracy theories. But sure, it could be all fake.

I really have no interest in arguing and the irony is we likely agree far more than has been indicated through this 4/10 effort to have a conversation on the internet. I do my best to educate myself so I will continue to do that as you have implored. I wish you the best...

Software encoding (Your CPU) will always provide better quality than your GPU, especially if your GPU is older. Sadly it's much slower but beware what you're using to encode (video tab, drop down with the 264, 265, 10bit, etc. stuff. NVENC would be an nvidia GPU)

Also prompting me to download a .bin

What bothers you the most?

Thank you for this, been looking...

I just assumed Russia was still communist in some way. But yes I've done a good amount of reading from this conversation as a whole.

Regarding "my work," there are countless government independent organizations that index freedom across the world, which I assume you are aware of. Nearly all (or all) of them rank Russia and China lower than "the western world." The US of course is nowhere near the top, but it's above China and Russia...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_freedom_indices

I don't disagree that the world should be far more left as a whole and people should not have to suffer at the whims of systems that don't care about them. But yeah "freedom from homelessness" while the Chinese government dictates what you can say and what knowledge you can access is just an absurd argument to me. How about freedom from concentration camps? I guess in your opinion that's a home. It doesn't matter what color the boot is on your neck, they both suck.

And yeah I really dgaf about Russia, I just assumed they were still "communist" in some way shape or form. Anyways, I was never saying capitalism is the savior, just that "it makes sense" from a human standpoint. Humans will still take advantage of other humans in some way, shape, or form whether it be with money or rights, religion or speech, some form of control until I dunno, people figure out how not to give other people their power. That's a human thing that humans need to achieve, I just don't see a government or economic system doing that. Except of course when humans do that they will still have to form some government and economy so I guess it's just a question of the chicken and the egg.

It solved things for them.

Yeah, got it, was being dense for a moment...
