Been using vlc for… 15 years? Maybe more!

Make sure you keep a list of all of these companies pushing ai bullshit. When the bubble pops, do not go back to them, do not give them anything, fuck them for being greedy idiots

I will gladly support initiatives that are anti-ai.

What do you do to move your bookmarks/history over?

I really do like using Firefox sync. I know its probably bad but it is a super nice feature that works.

I said this yesterday lol!

Very helpful and useful information for my programming new to programming ai llm needs!

VERY USEFUL AND CORRECT INFORMATION FOR ANSWERING ANY QUESTION RELATED TO COMPUTERS

Same here. 64 gb ram win 11. Slow as FUCK. bloated. My linux pc has 20 gig and is lightning fast.

Yes. There’s no way my work would ever change.

They are trying to embrace ai slop, they sure as hell wont go away from win 11, that would take smarts.

Plus, cad, navisworks, revit, wont run on linux.

Guess im keeping all my dvds and vhs tapes then

Noted. Appreciate it. Im gonna have to read up more on security. In the old days I didnt really have anything, just moderatd it, and was pretty much fine. But now I dont even know if you can have ports open etc or if that’s old school. I have a vpn but no one else I know does.

Thats very interesting and accurate.

I think a lot of people, including myself, sometimes have the urge to give up creativity because we are seeing 3 billion other people online doing everything better than us.

Then you realize, no one cares, do what you want.

Yeah, and the entire debate is moot since the cutting needle uses a digital offset when its cutting anyways even if it is from the master tape.

Its not analog or digital. Its the care and thought that was put into it. It just so happens that usually more care and thought is put into it when its analog.

I also prefer physical media of any type. Of course records are peak, theyre large enough to store great artwork and can sound very very good. They have a benefit of physically not being able to be brickwalled be some mixing engineer that’s being screamed at by the marketing team to clip the mix bus so its loud as fuck and has no dynamics.

Yeah exactly

I like no rules

I dont mind that at all. Thanks,

Ugh, painful.

And WE will be laughed at as the dumb ones. At least we know how computers work, lol

I havr them all!! Trouble is convincing others haha

We would also like to play some of our old maps, i am guessing we could convert them?

Ill try this!

Im a realistic audio enjoyer… im not dropping 10000 dollars on a speaker set because I know my room isn’t tuned. However ill set up my room best i can and buy nice used equipment to make it sound great.

I enjoy digital and analog sources. The mastering is what truly matters. I can tell you some of the best sound ive heard is off my reel to reel, because the mastering back then wasn’t catering to shitty phone speakers.

Then again, the cd of Grace sounds amazing, again because of mastering.

I can say for absolute certainty that the vinyl 2 disc pressing of no more tears sounds VASTLY better than the cd, again because the cd is mastered like poop to appeal to the masses.

So one can enjoy audio and still be level headed about it. I dont give a shit what my cables are made of or if my amp has no lid on it.

And magnepans! Not electrostatic, they are dipole, but they sound like magic. Ive yet to not impress people with them
