> USB DAC
I know it's just another one of my idiosyncrasies, but I still bear a certain disregard for using USB for sound, I mean it's perfect for mice, keyboards or printers, but something not offering DMA? For audio? :marseyyikes:
I do realize though that there is little choice at the moment as Firewire is effectively dead and I don't think I've seen any widely available Thunderbolt offerings, using Thunderbird enclosure with PCI cart is clunky too, but I still don't like the idea of using USB for it :marseysigh:

No longer true, I believe. Soundcard today is most often built into mainboard and those are well supported, but not necessarily — even very obscure cards might work. I have booted an Ubuntu Live USB just for fun on my Mac Pro and to my surprise, even my old external Firewire M-Audio card worked fine, all of its eight outputs, I didn't test digital analog and optical outputs and more advanced features, but at least basic I/O works 🤷 -

Yeah, US is fucked up pretty badly, but I think Americans will have it sorted out somehow. And I think pretty soon.
Oh, fun thing that I've just recalled just now — this Black Panther movie. I don't hate American black people — I listen to a lot of this hip-hop stuff, that is where I know some of this from, but this of course doesn't mean that I like each and every one of them or that I'm supposed to be an avid BLM supporter (in fact even a lot of black people were against what it was eventually turned into) — racism is real, but me supporting it would be hypocrisy, because Russians have never had black slaves, in fact, there were Black people in Russia who have been nobility, e.g. one of Napolean's generals, I can't recall his name, but after Napoleanic wars he had stayed in Russia til his very death and of course he wasn't treated as slave.
But anyway, I have digressed — this Black Panther movie, it's like if you don't hate black people you're supposed to watch it and be like: "Oh, Wakanda, wow!"— but when I've been watching it I was like: "Oh my god, it's so racist! It's so full of stereotypes!" — it's like if you're black, you're supposed to play basketball, and all this tribal shit… What their "scientist" does in the movie is bordering with shamanism, like black people are incapable of traditional science and could only achieve something because they have found this metal. I felt shame throughout most of its runtime — and I've been surprised to find out later that people actually like it and no one considered it offensive, this is so fucked up :marseyfacepalm: -

Exactly! That is why I asked — because what is often understood by it, in US in particular, seems to me like a certain set of stereotypes rather than culture.

What this American Black culture is? Selling drugs and promiscuity isn't exactly culture — this is just what poor people often do and a lot of black people just happen to be poor.
And while there sure is "gangster rap", there is quite a lot of hip-hop music criticizing "gangster shit" (the term itself didn't appear out of nowhere) and how it's romanticized — they don't consider it "culture", they consider it a huge problem for their communities, take this album by Master Ace for example: https://mastaace.bandcamp.com/album/the-falling-season
It's about his high school years, and about being smart enough to understand that he deserves better, about wanting to be a normal school boy, not being involved in typical "nigger shit".
But being critical of something doesn't necessary mean that you hate it, it often means that you want it to improve. Should I consider all Americans who are critical of US policy anti-american traitors? I don't think so.
There is this recent movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Fiction_(film)
It's no masterpiece, but it's good. And it's not all what it's about, but it explicitly makes fun of this stereotype — that if you're black you are supposed to be a criminal and adopt particular slang and accent. But it's not about how these things do not exist, it's about how it would be hypocrisy for Black American with a middle-class background to claim that it has anything to do with him/her. -

But remain secretive about their hobbies outside Fedi so the girl would also have to take a part-time job of an investigator to do it 🤭 -

My choice is Authoritarianism — it's amazing how men and women are easily convinced they should fight each other instead of realizing that in this system no one has rights, and first they should work together at least to change that. -

Putting trust into Blink remaining what it is today is a mistake. First it was about standards — Microsoft made a browser engine that was more or less standards compliant, Google started introducing changes to YouTube than made other browsers that don't do things exactly how Blink does perform poorly. They pretended that they like extensions and that it would always remain this way until everyone started using ad blockers and now they have introduced breaking changes under the guise of caring for privacy. It seems to me that introducing changes that would make it impossible (you just won't have the resources to cut through all the Google bullshit) to adopt Blink in your code unless you copy it bit by bit and get everything that comes with it are right behind the corner.
People should never put their trust into any technology that comes out of Google, even if on the surface it doesn't look that bad. This company has demonstrated numerous times that eventually you will be fucked over, it's only a matter of time. -

I agree. There's nothing wrong with unfollowing people. If you think doing something else might be more beneficial to you — do that instead of responding to everyone, it might seem that people will get offended by it, but no — they will just move on. You have to prioritize — you even have to do it in real life, you don't have all the time in the world to hang out with everyone, including the wrong people — it might sound cynical, but you're not obliged to waste your life on being nice to everyone, it's your life and yours only.
Try taking breaks from Fedi — it's easier than you think it is, it might seem boring first, but when your mind adapts to not having this constant "social" stimulation, it gets very easy to do other things that might require prolonged periods of concentration.
Also, Fedi is in fact really poor "social window" — people here might seem fun, but some exhibit outright antisocial behaviour and you might get all the wrong ideas about how to interact with people outside Fedi from them. Treat it as some casual game you can play during a short break — not as a replacement for real social interactions.

That is really sad :marseyitsover:
I've always wanted a phone capable of running PostmarketOS for the sake of using SWMO/SXMO on it, I'm not really interested in Phosh — I can use it on the phone I have now with Droidian (which is Mobian on top of HALium), neither am I interested in Plasma Mobile — I absolutely despise everything Qt-based (the reason why I'm not using Sailfish, which I can also run on the phone I have now).
