@nikitonsky isn't this how it already works for most things

@ghost_bird yeah but they're telling me that somehow the decompression on the CPU would be faster than reading the uncompressed file and that goes against everything I know on the topic and sounds so wrong to me that it's genuinely making me uncomfortable

...huh I think the weird slowdowns and freezes I get is cause I have 16GB of RAM and the swap partition is on an HDD (didn't want to place too much stress on the new and expensive SSD I got 😭)

I should probably upgrade my RAM but moni

Is it true that using all four RAM slots causes instability?

Also that all DIMMs have to be the exact same model?

Does anyone know how to attach a cardboard thing to a wall without damaging the paint or drilling a hole in the wall?

I'm trying to get rid of the echo in my bedroom so I can record voiceover for my video but I ended up with a bunch of egg cartons taped to a piece of cardboard and no idea how to put them up

I asked like 3 or 4 people for ideas too and nobody was able to come up with anything 💀

@faab64 there's no "global ban list", it's all decentralised lol

If there was a way to ban someone globally we wouldn't have far-right instances anymore

"AI" generated solarpunk images are the one of the most ironic things I've ever seen

@saxnot@chaos.social @mekkaokereke @teadrinker @clive I need to install special drivers and software to use any of the printers available to me, pretty much all of them require hplip and using either the proprietary HP printing app or arcane nonsense in the CUPS web UI to get working

@catileptic yeah it's so bad even Constanța is gonna have a protest on Friday about it, and people in this city don't usually protest unless their precious cars are in danger of not being allowed on a street

@catileptic oh they've already been happening wtf I didn't even know about it

Why is all of this organized on goddamn Facebook and Instagram of all places 💀

Does anyone have any advice for recording voiceover for a video?

I'm trying to do it but I can't get rid of mouth sounds and clicks and other gross noises like that

So far I've tried moving the mic further away (didn't help, in fact it only increased the echo), drinking water, and eating lemon

:boost_ok:

@jeffowski @rzeta0 lol are you reading this off a script or something? Cause you're not responding to anything I said and making up shit you assume I believe

@jeffowski @rzeta0 neither, Trump is a fascist and Harris is a liberal

Nobody's defending Trump here by the way, you're doing the thing liberals do where they pretend that everyone who doesn't like their candidate is voting for Trump

I'm not American, if I was I'd potentially vote for Harris despite her being a cop (and probably continuing the genocide in Palestine to a similar extent as Biden, though most American leftists I've talked to told me they're unwilling to vote for any genocidal candidates), but blaming leftists not liking the Democratic Party for Trump being elected is nonsense

@jeffowski @rzeta0 the destruction of capitalism and state violence

Master of Puppets by Metallica came on the rock radio station and my first reaction was "oh shit E1M1 on the radio"

@siege cause I also prefer high framerates in games and then you implied that anyone who does is a Gamer who has no sense of aesthetics

@siege I feel like if eyes didn't do the equivalent of a high framerate I would literally be unable to pick up on high framerates on a screen lol

But yeah anyway I respect your opinion to prefer slower framerates but maybe don't paint anyone who disagrees as gamers and objectively in the wrong 😬

You're a cool person but I felt attacked by the post cause I'm a designer and my BA thesis was literally about how much Gamers suck 💀

@siege well the thing is, watching something and playing something are different things

I prefer watching stuff at normal framerates when it comes to movies and TV and stuff, but with games you are in control of what's going on usually

A higher framerate is closer to what your eyes do, as well as minimizing input lag which is important for certain types of game (especially stuff like twitch shooters - not a fan of them but hey people like them)

But yeah different types of media - games aren't made for *watching*, at least not as their primary function

@Mux @afewbugs it's not about it being "for nerds" or not, it's simply less accessible because it's not The Default and it's not what people are already used to using

There's always gonna be an uphill struggle in cases like these, and blaming people for not essentially gambling away their time for something unknown to them just reinforces the idea that Linux is for pretentious nerds
