Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you owned a magic library people donated to in order to preserve media for eternity but which was going through overpopulation, what criteria would you use to decide which media survived/discarded?
6·2 years agoIt is history though. Erasing it from history would make it harder to study how insane that man was, which is immediately apparent in basically any part of that book. In Germany, Mein Kampf is banned except for educational purposes, eg in history class. Nothing conveys just how bad Hitler was as effectively as his own writing.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?
3·2 years agoUsed it for a good while, but I moved to Nobara for more up to date packages. Might look into it again when Cosmic releases, it looks promising. I just hope they have some way to use Gnome extensions (or a replacement).

Linux@lemmy.ml•[ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?
132·2 years agoHe’s got a point though, these sound more like ‘online article on tech website’ phrases, less like a community post. Not meant to be insulting, I just like to analyse language.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some things you can/should cheap out on?
3·2 years agoI agree in principle, but knowing what people pay for a kb that doesn’t even have a numpad I would raise the usefulness cutoff to around 100.
It doesn’t need to be right to make money, often more money than companies get by paying people to do a job properly.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•To those not in the IT industry, what do you think programming is like?
1·2 years agoOne minute coming up with a feature, ten minutes coding the most basic version, potentially infinute minutes improving/fixing bugs, -6 hours despairing over time zones. (I had an IT class in my last 2 years of school)

Technology@beehaw.org•Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
32·2 years agoAbsolutely. I would prefer they didn’t have google as the default, but I’d rather have Firefox with good funding and google as default than firefox with very little funding.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some of the best questions to ask someone new to you, to better get to know them?
31·2 years agoI think those questions say more about the person asking them. None of these (except maybe the last one) ask about political views, interests besides technology, humor, or what they care about the most if it’s not one of the things directly asked about.
.wav files store volume levels (typically, but often higher) as a 16bit value 44100 times a second (again, typically, but often higher). This allows frequencies up to 22050Hz to be stored without losses. A lot of this is useless information, because most people don’t hear anything above 16kHz, which only gets worse with age. Other parts of this might be useless information because of complex low frequency interaction with the inner ear which occlude some higher frequencies (psychoacoustics was a long time ago, can’t explain it in detail). .ogg and .mp3 filetypes, among others, use that to simply cut frequencies that (probably) aren’t heard. This process saves a lot of data, but results in lower resolution, especially in the higher frequencies (look up comparisons for 128kBit/s vs 320kBit/s MP3, you’ll hear the difference immediately on pretty much anything other than phone speakers.)
If file size is an issue, .ogg is great, if quality is the most important, go for .flac, as flac files also don’t loose any quality while having file sizes between the two, though compatibility might be a problem on older systems.
If you’re into metal/hardcore/etc at all, you should watch the documentaries Parkway Drive (Post-hardcore/metalcore band from Australia) has made, extraordinary stuff. This is the first one.
I also recommend chess.

Doctor Who Season Finale. I’ve caught the bug again after a couple lackluster seasons, they made a great choice bringing back Russel T Davies as showrunner.
