I think only Rick Rubin can ever reach 1300kbps in a FLAC from CD; listen to System of a Down self-titled album. It barely compresses!
Well-mastered classical and 1980s albums can average ~700kbps. IIRC, using default FLAC compression level 5.
Windows 11. We installed a printer driver and unchecked “Restart my computer now”. It attempted to restart anyway, with Windows offering to either close all programs and restart, or cancel. I clicked cancel. It restarted anyway. Nothing was lost, but still… 🤦
We cannot let Microsoft have a monopoly… on sabotaging Microsoft.
they really know their beverage’s core brand is just “disgusting, but with alcohol.”
Definitely going for the shock factor. They have advertising posters in bars that read, “Malört, because these pants won’t shit themselves!”
Danny DeVito is still “pitifully” entertaining 50 years later, with his studio producing the longest-running American live-action sitcom.
They take their twisted logic and antics to such extremes that it resembles a live-action version of some mid-20th century American cartoons. Same level of slapstick cruelty but the plotlines make it all more premeditated and sociopathic.
(I laugh hysterically at it, but I totally understand anyone who thinks it’s depraved!)

I had heard that Ubuntu is an old African word for “can’t configure Debian”
You said Ubuntu three times. /s
AUR is supposed the last resort, after distro repos, building from source, Flatpak, and Appimage. Ubuntu’s equivalent to the AUR would be PPAs.
Personally, I have fewer problems gaming on Arch than any other I’ve tried.
Edit: Snap is bad for software freedom. I won’t touch Ubuntu anymore; if I use apt, I meant apt and not snap. Hijacking my command is Microsoft-style rug-pulling.
This was in a Commodore 64 demo that I’m a fan of, they took him as an honorary member of their group! Sadly, I’ve not yet read much Yeats.
Fuck all this and give us DisplayPorts on everything, you cowards!
I waited in line, in the cold, for Skyrim on PC. In other words, I waited in line for a CD key and Steam installer disc; the full game had to be downloaded.
All the cool kids use ReplayGain.
Invader Zim has a lot of laughs for kids and adults!
That’s good. I know there is key revocation, where they can make discs “expire” when the key lists get updated from the Internet or by playing a Blu-Ray with a newer list.
Wat. A lot more stuff fetches “a basic land card” than “a land with a basic land type”.
It was only ever an artificial limit in Windows’ Format dialog.
Don’t Blu-Ray players have shenanigans like not playing newer discs unless you get them online to download keys?
I wasn’t even trying to copy, just trying to connect a DVD player to my RF-cable-jack-only TV.
DVD player -> AV cables -> VCR -> coaxial cable -> TV.
Nope! Not allowed! It’s 2001 and we’re already screaming loud and clear that pirate copies are superior because they just work.
I ended up getting a Voodoo3 3500 TV on clearance sale, and playing movies on the TV through that.
