Rodeo,

See the problem there is that Plex is transcoding instead of just supporting popular audio formats directly.

Rodeo,

So you don’t listen to music unless you’re at home? Or do you choose a subset of your library to put on your phone? That would be terribly annoying for me.

Rodeo,

Gotta use that lossless format so you can pick up all the sound artefacts caused by an imperfect physical format.

Rodeo,

There is nothing stopping anyone from finding out exactly who you are, where you are, and what you’re doing.

All right prove it.

Post my real name, real home address, and my current location.

There’s nothing stopping you, apparently.

Rodeo,

I totally agree with the third point, but that’s not anyone.

Rodeo,

It’s really useful! It’s spoken across the world in … Uh, one country that’s not even really it’s own country. In fact you’d be better off speaking English there.

I get the desire to preserve it as history, but it’s really not up to a private company to do something about that. And I say this as someone who knows private companies should be doing a lot more for people and the world than they are.

Rodeo,

A simple courteous reminder of their obligations may save both parties some undue hassle.

Actually, the customer is already getting undue hassle, while the company is just breaking the law. Why can’t we just expect better?

Rodeo,

Must be something that makes you look bad lol

Otherwise you’d just say it. You owe them nothing and they’ve broken the fuckin law and you’re protecting them? What do they have on you?

Rodeo,

Personal information like the name of a company they bought something from?

Please

Iceland’s first full-day women’s strike in 48 years aims to close pay gap (www.theguardian.com)

Organisers hope the women’s strike – whose confirmed participants include fishing industry workers, teachers, nurses and the PM, Katrín Jakobsdóttir – will bring society to a standstill to draw attention to the country’s ongoing gender pay gap and widespread gender-based and sexual violence.

Rodeo,

Yeah I mean it wasn’t 200 years ago that women stayed at home and provided huge amounts of value to the family. All that real-life value is being ignored so that we can ask why they weren’t working for someone else instead?

What the fuck.

Rodeo,

In practice, the best interviews I’ve had usually set a slightly more complicated task as a do-in-your-own-time problem and then go through what you did in the actual interview.

The best interviews you’ve had are the ones where you’re doing free work on your own time?

Rodeo,

Making your comic about yourself is automatically lame.

Rodeo,

There is a mathematical proof that 1 + 1 = 2 so surely you could make a proof for 6 ÷ 3 = 2

Rodeo,

You know there are lots of other taxes than just income tax?

Roads and car infrastructure, at least in my area, is paid for entirely through through gas and car insurance taxes, occasionally property taxes if it’s in a municipality. But income tax doesn’t pay a penny for the roads.

Rodeo,

How about wealth taxes instead. You know, like what we’re already doing with property taxes?

Income taxes disproportionately affect the poorest in society.

Rodeo,

What’s the point of a small phone if you’re going to stick a big battery to it?

My phone is big, but I don’t need an external battery. I’m curious to see the size and weight comparison between my phone with a big built in battery, and your phone + battery combo.

Rodeo,

I appreciate the longetivity of the iPhone compared to other brands.

I used my galaxy 4s mini for literally a decade.

Rodeo,

This just boils down to the semantics of exactly what being a “main figure in a murder” exactly means.

If the man was murdered during the event, and the judge says that anyone involved in the event is responsible for the event’s entirety, then by the judge’s own reasoning Machado is guilty of the murder. If Machado was a main figure in the event in any way, it could thus be construed that he was also a main figure of anything that happened during the event, again by the judge’s own reasoning.

Rodeo,

That’s the UNIX philosophy, not the Linux philosophy. That idea predates Linux by like a decade.

Rodeo,

Probably. Mac is Unix like but basically all server infrastructure is running on Linux.

Rodeo,

Check that the feeding gear on the extruder is properly engaged on the filament.

I had this issue and it turned out the pivot point on the extruder had gotten sticky, so the spring wasn’t compressing the gear onto filament enough to reliably grab it.

Rodeo,

Then why are you charging them?

The charges include violating the conditions of a communal licence, fishing without authorization, fishing during a closed season, obstructing a fishery officer and fishing for elvers — tiny, young eels — in violation of a 2020 order.

In the paragraph immediately following the paragraphs you quoted.

Rodeo,

So long as people use high bitrates, I’m fine with that.

Rodeo,

He’s too tall for Leia to reach to put the medal around his neck. So he just doesn’t get one.

Rodeo,

The billionaires in this country won’t even pay enough taxes to train our own nurses, are they really going to pay another country?

Rodeo,

Car work a lot better than bikes in the snow lol

Twice as many wheels probably means more traction, eh? I can quite safely drive through 20cm of fresh snow. Good luck biking in that.

Rodeo,

windows simply deciding to kill everything else, even if its on a different disk entirely is not a prospect I relish.

I’ve been dual booting for almost ten years and distro hopped a fair bit and never had that happen. Not once ever. I’ve screwed up my fair share of installs too. I think it’s one of those things that used to be a problem 20+ years ago, but is now basically a meme.

Rodeo,

We’re always grumpy at Windows people.

Rodeo,

Shunning the school canoe? You’d better believe that’s a-shunning!

Rodeo,

This year was it’s fourth year.

Rodeo,

Also check that the bed itself is still flat.

Remember that despite all the software and electronics printers use, they are ultimately hardware, and hardware wears out and breaks sometimes.

My glass bed has warped over time with heat cycles to the point where the center of the bed is a full mm lower than the edges and corners. Every slicer setting in the world can’t fix that. The fix was a new bed, or you could work around it if you have a touch sensor to make a bed mesh, but then the bottom of your parts still won’t be flat.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

Rodeo,

How about a real job like the rest of us miserable peasants.

Rodeo,

I just want to point out that a corporation not making a profit doesn’t mean they’re not making money. It means they’ve spent the money on something and then in the accounting they can call it an expense instead of profit. But they still made that money and they still have something to show for it.

Rodeo,

I guess what I’m saying is that although your first point is true, your second point doesn’t actually support it.

Rodeo,

Revenue only becomes profit if you let it.

Got $1m in revenue that you don’t want to declare as profit? Purchase some assets and now you have $1m expense instead.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately (arstechnica.com)

John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.

Rodeo,

That’s not exactly an uncommon structure. In case you’re just realizing this now: rich people are a bunch of corrupt fuckers.

Rodeo,

The Windows 10 start menu is way more configurable. It doesn’t waste space for “recommended” apps either.

It’s twice the size as it was in win7, and 100% of the extra space is used to display icons for apps that I don’t use, don’t want, and can’t be removed.

Rodeo,

You mean if it gets pushed through using the notwithstanding clause? And you mean the STLA will be in a tough spot, or the lawyers involved in the case?

I don’t follow how you’ve come to this conclusion.

Rodeo,

Why did you do that? I’ve always just used the project manager. Is it that version manager plugin that was posted here a while ago?

Rodeo,

The punchline was so lame after that “titties of chemistry” line.

Rodeo,

Trinamic silent stepper drivers make a world of difference. On my printer I swapped the main board for one with silent drivers. Identical hardware as before, 1/10th the noise.

I never believed people before when I read how much of a difference it made. But I’m so glad I did it now.

Noctua fans are also a world of difference.

Rodeo,

“I’m not wrong! I’m just sort of wrong …”

Rodeo,

It was about as valuable as your second comment. Your original comment I agree with, however.

Rodeo,

Some places have bylaws on maximum lawn height and you can actually be fined for letting it go. That’s how insane people are about lawns.

Rodeo,

But how to decode that data. Better hope they find some info on character encodings too.

Rodeo,

sad Canada noises

Rodeo,

We already achieved photorealistic rendering a decade ago, and we can do it in real time now. Graphics aren’t going to get much better any more. This is why 1) a wider variety of art styles has become popular, and 2) people clamor about VR being the “next step”.

Rodeo,

No, we literally have photorealistic rendering. It might not look real at all times but the math is true to the real world physics. That’s literally what physically based rendering is.

The limitations in real time rendering are hardware limitations now, not software. But for regular applications, PBR literally simulates individual photons. It doesn’t have a ways to go. It is already true to life and physically accurate.

But of course, even the best tools in the world can be misused by a bad artist.
