I don’t know what would happen to your body, but i know these would be the worst meals you’ll ever have

Yeah, sexuality doesn’t really fit in neat boxes and this is especially true for the asexual spectrum. I get the vibe that you want to find something to identify with though, so yeah i’d say you’re in the ballpark of asexual

Yeah, i have a huge archive of music in .mp3 format and it keeps growing. There is no appreciable loss in quality between uncompressed and 320kb/s, with the potential to go reasonably lower depending on the source quality.

I’m like this with my movies too, with some exceptions all 2000 of them are around 1-2Gb in size, which is considered small in the torrenting community. For those ones i can actually notice the low image quality, but it kinda doesn’t bother me.

I have good headphones and a good TV, i just stopped believing in high fidelity. People adore the imperfections of vinyl and VHS media, and i kind of feel the same way towards digital artifacts, movies feel weird when the image is too sharp. For music, again, i don’t even notice.

In this context, if a format can cut my library size in half and i can’t tell the audio difference, AND it’s patent-free, i see this as an absolute win.

Not that most people would care anyway, in the age of streaming people don’t have libraries anymore

I had San Andreas on PS2 as a kid, only played it on PC a little bit as an adult; but, the fact that you type the cheat codes on a keyboard means they kinda make words, so i forgot the PS2 ones and i remember some PC ones.

That’s great! Good to see that these issues are being worked on.

I would have thought that the solution would involve checking the cookies to see which instance the user is logged into?

I mean, the downsides of the Fediverse have been discussed at length.

Here’s a routine occurence: i’m browsing around, opening new tabs and such; then i go to upvote something, and it tells me i’m not logged in. This is how i find out i’ve accidentally left my instance. It’s cooked at that point, i’m not going to post that comment, if i really wanted to i’d have to carefully replace the relevant parts of the URL. This keeps happening in both Lemmy and Mastodon.

I need to 1. Not fall out of my instance as easily, and 2. if i’ve opened a page outside my instance, i need to be able to open the same page in my instance in one click. Anything else is is annoying to me and a complete deal breaker to most new users.

I don’t doubt that there’s loads of work done in the backend that i don’t see, but from my point of view as a user, Lemmy still has the same problems it had when i joined two years ago. That’s right, it’s been just about two years, the Reddit API debacle was around April-June of 23, and i haven’t seen glaring problems adressed.

You know Call of Duty started out as killing nazis on the Quake engine. I don’t remember really liking them but it’s there
