I could swear I've plugged a PS2 controller into my PS1. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 I didn't say it does... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 I mean the encryption that is used for https was 128 or 256-bit I think. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 I think they get AES acceleration or something from the CPU, but also, it just really isn't THAT much work in today's standards. It meant a whole lot more in the distant past with processors so much slower back then than it does today. Even the slower processors have so much more power per cycle that it makes a world of difference. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 I don't think SSL is that hard on a server's CPU... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…05fn I don't know which is more nostalgic. Dreamcast or Toys 'R' Us. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ryrt A lot changes, but some things don't. It's great that they can still get along like this after all that time. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ggeh I mean, yeah they got more powerful CPUs, but that doesn't mean they should have been treated as if they were PCs. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ggeh That's the excuse definitely. But it doesn't cost that much for the amount (and especially the lower grade) of RAM they put in there. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj We had no such rule — but also no TV guide. And, of course, no Internet. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj I had the most amazing ability to just miss the movies. Usually the rare few anime movies allowed to be showed to a western audience because how dare something from outside the west exist or whatever. Like I caught the very tail end of a Dragon Quest movie one time (yeah, apparently that's a thing) and then another time the tail end of this really dark Sonic movie. I got up earlier and earlier and never once caught a full movie. 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…stq7 Yeah, they can be fun when you go in with the right mindset really. I still enjoyed them a little back then. I just can't today. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…stq7 It really was terrible. The only reason I watched any of that stuff was because it was themed after games, lol. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj Putting aside the misinfo and etc, the particular formulaic way they all come out is just maddening... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ggeh @nprofile…ns22 Can you believe some people out there supposedly had 1600x1200? Bah. Rich people. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…7g5c @nprofile…pfuj This is what bothers me about all the people saying "I'll just throw my laptop into the ocean" in response to all this. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtup @nprofile…ay7w I do want to be clear: collecting user data to be submitted to applications outside of the user's control is non-compliant with a lot of privacy laws elsewhere. I'm no lawyer, but I'm willing to bet it's non-compliant with privacy laws even in California, as limited as those are... (Yeah, the law itself is pretty contradictory.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtup @nprofile…ay7w The problem is, they aren't being made to comply with laws in one or two areas, they're falling over themselves, ignoring dissenting voices in their rush to implement this in a thing that shouldn't even have anything to do with it anyway. Systemd just supposed to handle startup and services, not keeping records of the users. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…05fn It really was mindblowing from the title screen on. Even talking right in the intro. Talking, omg, what's that? 😆 So atmospheric. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj Jealous maybe? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ggeh The kernel sources package is linux-headers in *buntu/Mint and isn't installed by default. Is that what you mean? That's not really "not available" just not installed on its own. Easily rectified. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…05fn npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj I just want to see more people know that Rune Factory and Story of Seasons/once Harvest Moon exist. 😭 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 Glide was fairly simple to support in DOS. It was generally pretty stable. It wasn't until you started dealing with Windows and stuff like alt-tabbing that it became an issue. (I remember even having programs that actually disabled the start button for people to avoid accidentally bumping it. I do NOT miss that...) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 A Voodoo card would definitely handle Descent just fine in 800x600. Although I think you or someone else said it had a constant "experimental mode" or similar text in the middle of the screen when using Glide? I wouldn't be able to stand that... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 Even 640x480 makes a world of difference compared to 320x200. Even way back then I was nuts about getting higher resolutions out of everything that I could and hated that my PCs at the times generally couldn't handle it. (Well, not that Descent 1 had higher resolutions, but Descent 2 did apparently.) I still, to this day, as someone who grew up with everything on PC being 320x200 find it weird that people look at 320x200 resolution stuff now and think it is better that way so make stuff look like it on purpose. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 Maybe it's an issue of the type of joystick? I have an ancient Saitek X52 I bought used way back when and it never has made me feel uncomfortable even using it hours and hours at a time. It has a couple of mostly minor issues (its age is showing) but still very nice. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 I always did find it kind of funny how little difference it truly was hearing that specific game with a proper wavetable synthesizer. Don't get me wrong, it still sounded better, but I had hoped for a much bigger difference on the title screen in particular. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 I'm not even sure about piano. I personally feel like it's pretty different. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rnn3 Imagine if someone could go back in time somehow and tell them "by the way, your demo will be so popular that someday someone implements it into one of the most inefficient scripting languages that runs inside something that is, in turn, shockingly inefficient by that point. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj Yeah, was just saying basically that if they could be unlocked that would be a great option (and it's easier to learn than you think.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj I want to say you really should talk to IT about it if they actually could run Linux, but most these days are locked down. It's a crime that they sell to schools and such frankly. They're designed to be locked down, heavily tracked, etc etc and then to be abandoned and force schools to buy new ones every so often... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj Yeah, I was partially doing the "it me!" post. It's absolutely an introvert thing I would assume fairly common. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj Why does this sound like it's actually me? :Sobbing: npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…05fn The most hated thing in any fighter — getting stuck in a corner and you just can't break free. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtl5 This is actually a really good question and I've wondered about it for a while because it's still a format that technically exists in many things (but hopefully no one uses?) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj You... you just got a matter synthesizer and the first thing you do with it is make rocks? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…s0kv You admit your crime! npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…s0kv There is definitely absolutely a lot of smug pollution coming off of this photograph. 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…93ce @nprofile…hcjy I have never in my lifetime heard anyone in person (or on live/modern TV) say "robit" but wow they sure said it a lot on a lot of really old TV/movies. I guess Asimov was a product of such times, so he certainly would have heard it that way a lot. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…05fn Eh, like I'm partially joking because, you know, "killing Marios, oh noes!" but also partially not. Yeah they made it, but they made it as an internal just hardware demonstration purpose, not meant to be seen seriously outside of internal usage. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…05fn Something tells me Nintendo might not like that. 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 Or maybe even "First Person RPG of Might and Magic" versus "Tactical Squads of Might and Magic." 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 They mean to imply it's set in the same universe, but yeah, even for someone who knew the series from way back it's just confusing as heck and sometimes I forget which is which. 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 I really wonder what's going on here. I played StarCraft (original version) fine even in Lutris some time ago. It shouldn't have any such glitches with Heroic. (I also use the flatpak version, but I guess I haven't updated in a week or so.) What is the glitch? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 Proton generally works better. Try Heroic launcher instead. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ep96 Oof. That's actually annoying in its own way I guess. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ep96 They memorized every single movement to a pretty ridiculous extreme it seems. The only thing missing is quickscoping. Or is that just not a thing in this game? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv Has this particular aspect of engineering changed? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…kuzq indeed npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht You... definitely wouldn't want to short a capacitor with something conductive you're holding right in your hand... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…p4uj So add making stuff that just doesn't even work to their list of crimes... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 Oh, Shadow of the Colossus had a great feel to it in that regard. Though it certainly had a huge map on its own I would say. Not having a fight every step of the way was kind of pleasant on its own and let one really look around and explore indeed. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 If scale is a problem, what about procedural generation too though? One interesting idea I haven't seen used much is to mix procedural generation with hand-made stuff so there's a bit of both. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…e4ry Oh my god, have I happened upon a fellow hater of peppermint? I thought I was the only one in the whole world... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…6zuf Seriously, we don't need daily updates that tweak lots of little things and break a bunch of other things. The software industry absolutely needs more stability as a whole. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht There is literally no way for a LLM to perform math. The mechanism actually can't do it. (There is a special irony to the fact that it's using math to... not do math.) What they're doing is making a dedicated layer trained very heavily on math questions and answers. This improves statistical accuracy but still means it's possible for random errors to creep in. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 @nprofile…6zuf Oh, good point! npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wes6 @nprofile…mfuv This sounds potentially dangerous though. What if matter ends up intersecting with other matter? Won't that destroy the universe? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv The real question is: will it still do so if there is no cat nearby? Eg. will a cat teleport into it from elsewhere if needed? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mssx Lol, I kind of do this. Spine misalignments/compression are no fun... I've upset someone before trying to fix my neck, lol. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv Some ships have thrusters that go both ways though. Imperial Courier and Clipper are good examples. EDIT: Been too long since I played. I guess they don't actually fire forward despite there being no reason it couldn't be designed that way? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…e4ry Wait, is this an actual thing??? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv I feel like it's more like an aesthetic thing? Just they decided it wasn't as good and moved away later? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 This is actually a pretty convincing set of reasons. 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 You hate everything I like. I'm going to go sit in a corner for a bit. :Sobbing: npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 DARNED good game... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…e4ry @nprofile…7e7l Something tells me they would rather we were all just sitting around turning 20W hand-cranks until our arms fall off rather than connecting up 1+kW solar panels. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo I was just seeing a commercial for some crappy "game" app by King or whoever with the usual "match similar tiles" mechanic that is for some reason so popular and watching the stupid little animations and etc going on and then I think I finally figured out why anyone ever actually plays those awful "games." npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ffqc Are you going to tell yourself what you're going to get, or leave it as a surprise? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv Sadly they can't because SONY became emotional first. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…6s3h Lol, so what, they bent over the pan and the glasses fell off, but... they didn't notice? I mean....... HOW??? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 I am a little bit saddened that you dislike Daggerfall so strongly, but I guess each to their own. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ep96 Lol, yeah. Sure... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…7c64 This one is even more serious than it sounds (I think.) Well, it was a TV show that I saw it on, so maybe it's not accurate (or not 100% even if it is) but legally they actually interpreted "I'm sorry" spoken to someone as literally being an admission of guilt and took him to court in something once. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…csww This is strange though. They don't last forever by any means but they absolutely should last more than ten years. I have a number of solid state storage devices that have definitely very far exceeded 10+ years. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 Oh, I see. Well, under the moniker "Broken Sword" it has received a lot of re-released. I was especially surprised to see it show up on the Nintendo DS back in the day, but I think it's even on systems as recent as the PS4 and Switch. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…e4ry @nprofile…q7h2 I don't know where to start with all that is great about this picture. The computer, the stack of disks, the Sonic 2 poster, the Prodigy poster, more disks, that old DOS installer that so many things used (and I found out had an easily editable script system I could use for my own stuff,) the more disks, and of course the robot thingy. Did I mention the disks? 😁 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…rtt8 I dunno about Broken Sword. I see remakes for it popping up on practically every living platform and a few dead ones. Simon the Sorcerer also seems to have made a small comeback I think maybe? And Turok got a remake. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…nydn I've literally seen something effectively along this line. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…6zuf This really doesn't get said enough. The only reason they have cookie banners is because they want to harvest data. All they have to do is not harvest data and then no need for cookie banners... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…e4ry Really? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…xdym Anyone who understands how LLMs actually work has to realize that they fundamentally can never become A or I. They can't learn or adapt, they can't reason, and can't even perform some really simple things like math. (Yes you can get a LLM to produce an answer to a math problem, but it's not solving it, it's just putting together what looks like a post that would be answering such a thing without actually performing the actual math involved.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv The only problem is that there's also massively less incentive to actually perform optimizations these days. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv Now it will forever taunt me wanting to know the truth. How could you do this? 😆 npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv Oh wow. As much as I played Descent I didn't realize that. Given that I always had a system that was rather weak in those days, I imagine that homing missiles were probably worse for me than they were intended to be, lol. (When I later played the game on a faster system I was blown away how differently it felt. However, the faster system was a laptop and the LCD's ghosting made me feel sick, lol.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv It's hard to tell why it would do that, but it might be unrelated to CPU configuration then. But first maybe set the rest to fixed stuff too. In particular, you might want to set core to normal instead of auto. That has more accurate timings, but is less performance friendly. This game's requirements aren't terribly high so it should be ok. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mfuv Most games use tricks like counting ticks or etc I believe. Do you have cycles=max or auto or something like that? That's the default in DOSBox. You might try setting it to some fixed value instead. Here is a very approximate chart: npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…nydn Isn't it great the way Mozilla exists as "the alternative to the bad browsers" and yet lately their thoughts seem to be hard focused on asking the question "so how can we become more like the bad browsers?" npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ep96 Magpie can be even better for some games, depending on what you're trying to get out of it. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht Oh, I think I did actually see that with Easy Effects. I was under the impression it wasn't setting the bands right and maybe the auto button wasn't enough on its own. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht Could you have it set too far? Decibels are a non-linear scale (logarithmic.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht You may want to go down instead of up perhaps. (Eg output less bass/mids rather than more highs.) Or at least find a good balance between them since going up too high can cause plateauing in the waveform and clipping (as well as the potential hardware damage mentioned. Though if these drivers are as heavy as I'm betting from your description, it's probably not likely to damage them and that's probably more an issue with laptops and their dinky little drivers.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…pqyh @nprofile…wzht I guess that's the advantage of having iron-grip control over every aspect of the hardware and software. You can pull a Bose with all the ups and downs that come with this. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht Ooohh. I thought you meant the sound as a whole was like that. For chassis speakers it's definitely going to depend on the speaker. Though I'm more than a bit surprised that it's not the opposite (plenty of treble, not much bass.) npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…wzht That is really weird! I've noticed much clearer and more accurate sound in Linux vs Windows on my desktop. Linux, for some reason, is producing better quality sound than anything I could get out of Windows (even including advanced output methods that bypass normal kernel filtering like WASAPI.) Right out of the box even... As far as I can tell (I consider myself a "baby audiophile," not a full blown audiophile) it seems to be as neutral and accurate as I could ever want with incredible detail. npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…ep96 What if the shoes don't really fit and are really uncomfortable and are cutting off the circulation in your toes so they've gone completely numb by the time you've walked a mile? npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…mwlj Nothing short of amazing that they have all gravitated towards relying 100% on really really horrible third party commercial services that not only are screwing them, but screw over users too. Many of which won't even let users view the info without an account anyway, so they lose the business from every single person who does not have an account... npub10qcd5cuqslclwderumwt4hxjvuqyx8p9fq6vm98epkmgwfdya63qztz5ht Nazo @nprofile…e4ry Lol, there is so much out there to rant at, but what is this particular rant at?
