Okay, this “$1 trillion” metric is a bit of a reach, and seems to be based on an arbitrary value assigned to an estimated amount of data Google has collected, and not actually $1,000,000,000,000 in revenue. It does not appear that Google has actually made a trillion dollars from CAPTCHA data.

I would argue that most people never need lossless, because most people don’t use speakers/headphones with high enough fidelity to produce any acoustic difference to a high-bitrate MP3 in the first place.

I used to work with a guy who swore by his FLAC collection, and would listen to it through some $40 Skullcandy earphones. I never understood why.

Looks like it’s finally coming back up.

A mosquito, by the sounds of it.

Sounds like maybe something preppy, or prep-adjacent?

being a nazi is bad for business

I’m sorry, but have you seen the world lately? What on earth has led you to believe this? Nazism is in its highest demand ever, so much so that even some Jews are onboard and are giving Trump literal golden gifts to celebrate ethnic cleansing. The richest man in history just proudly threw up a nazi salute for the world to see as he became the defacto POTUS.

The soul-crushing truth is that being a nazi is the best business decision one can make right now. I hate it, and I wish something could be done about it.

No, let them work from home.

Are we to believe that Musk (or his hiring team) didn’t know about these posts on his own platform?

Or are we to believe that they knew about it and hired the little nazi shit, anyway? Because I’ll let you guess which one I believe.

I do that, and I wouldn’t consider myself old. I get called so infrequently that I don’t know what my ringtone even sounds like. Any phone ringing within earshot could be mine.

Oh, a “bug”. Just like how Zuck’s platforms banned the word “democrat” because of a “bug”, right?

These bugs seem oddly specific lately.

I hope they keep doing it. I hope they flood all the default subs with it. Keep it up until there are no subs left to ban.

Fuck Spez, fuck Musk. May they both rot with their platforms.

That was not always the case, and was only set up that way after the CNN expose. Fuck Spez left, right, and up the middle, but he only was only listed as a mod on /r/jailbait at a time when you could freely add anybody as a mod to your subreddit.

R/picsofdeadkids was up for long after that.

Not for much longer. Gawker doxxed Violentacrez shortly after, and I believe he shut down all his subs when that happened.

Y U NO MAKE NEW COMICS THEN???

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

What about a conditioner? Not sure if that would make your hair too oily if you aren’t shampooing beforehand, but I imagine a good rinsing should be enough to keep it from getting uncontrollably greasy, and could also add a bit of fragrance.

It’s crazy that Netflix originally knew this back in the 2010s. Somehow, over the years, they managed to forget this little nugget of wisdom.

This is some “boneless wings may contain bones” bullshit, fuck Hulu.

Dan is constantly talking about buyout requests he’s receiving for Loops and Pixelfed, so much so that it makes me a bit suspicious of those claims. Nearly every other post I see from his Mastodon feed is bragging about another alleged buyout offer, and how he’s not for sale.

Has he ever shown proof of any of these offers he’s received? It’s not that I want to doubt him, but he’s been very persistent with this claim and I think it’s fair to scrutinize it at this point.

Nanomachines?

Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of convincing arguments against the “we speak differently, therefore we think differently” theory (I’m sure there’s an actual name for that) when talking about language barriers, and Adam comes pretty close to making that argument in this.
