  • why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if…

    • you have the right hardware
    • you have the ear trained to hear compression
    • you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
    • you are in a quiet room
    • you are actively looking for compression artifacts

    you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)





  • I can’t wait until you guys get real jobs and then realize that every company that is serious about software development heavily pushes for AI tools such as CLINE or Cursor. I use it at work but I wouldn’t say I am vibe coding (mainly because it sucks ass). the reason they deleted the file from the repo is unlikely because they don’t want people to know they use AI, it’s more likely because AI rules files can contain info that you don’t want to be made public








  • TPM and trusted computing/boot chains are some of the single most important security measures that we’ve had in the last decade. I can agree on the kernel level stuff though that’s a bit bullshit even though I understand why low level access is needed for some anti cheat tasks and DRM prevention. I think there should be APIs provided instead of having to install unknown modules
