@thanius Not sure about where you are, but here there is a distinction between an analog copy (inherently lossy) vs digital copy (not necessarily lossy) - regardless of the quality of the latter. Analog recording from digital is OK. Digital recording isn't.
@avrin@thanius I agree. But we know that's not the main reason why they track. If this were some small hobbyist site, I'd believe the intent were different, you know?
@avrin@thanius I just use Consent-o-Matic to automatically configure the minimum possible amount. The browser blocks third party cookies and now and then I flush. The issue pops up when 1Blocker works its magic on HTML-views that otherwise don't have full extension support. In a full browser window, I could have temporarily disabled content blockers and let Consent-o-Matic do its work. As it is, I just don’t go back to sites that have nefarious designs like this, but private mode is a temp fix.
@killyourfm Wow. I remember starting longingly at that thing through a window in the 90s. Week after week. One time I actually got to record on one, too.
Jeg troede først, at ActivityPub-plug-in kun kunne bruges fra en dyrere udgave af Wordpress, end jeg havde lyst at betale for, men der var faktisk en fin, basal udgave, så jeg ikke behøver poste fra min egen konto. Hvis du vil følge med, og hjælpe mig med at eksperimentere med WordpressXFediverse, så følg @kulturkvrn.com og skriv meget gerne kommentarer, når artikler dukker op. De burde lande på hjemmesiden automatisk. Jeg booster nok en artikel af og til, men ikke hver gang.
Today I lost my favourite little buddy in the world, Luki. Always happy. Always surprisingly smart and the most empathic dog I've ever met. After picking him up at the shelter he was a light in our lives every day. 10 years isn't a whole lot for this race, but it stings a little extra because we didn't have him for the first couple. This pic was the last one I took of him and I'm going to miss that sight so much today 😭. Rest in peace, little buddy. The very, very best boy. #dogsofmastodon
So, I am about to fire up a trial for Crunchyroll. 3 months but no idea of what to watch. Recommendations? Things I've enjoyed include Haruhi Suzumiya, Excel Saga, Evangelion, Gurrenn Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, most things Ghibli, everything Satoshi Kon, Mushishi, Memories, Escaflowne, Berserk, Gunbuster, Serial Experiments Lain, Ghost in the Shell.
Good sci-fi/dark stories/anthology shows/feel-good/slice of life, I guess. #anime#crunchyroll
@thanius Yes. Unless you perhaps like to play around with large images and would prefer to do the whole workflow on the Amiga. Some demos might need more power, too, but that's some of what I'm looking to test out.
@thanius Let me get back to you on that. I've only done some preliminary testing as I am still configuring a lot, but performance, at least, seems pretty great out of the box with Musashi.
Finally got myself a #Pistorm32-lite for my #Amiga 1200. It's strange how almost all of the guides and articles out there are focused on the super-fast but less finished/compatible Emu68 while good information on Musashi took me more time than setting things up and putting the hardware together. Of course, part of the reason is the Discord curse with a jumble of relevant and outdated information. Gawd, I loathe Discord for projects.
@thanius Between that, 68k.news, frogfind.com and The Old Net, old computers have become a lot more fun to put on the internet. I think I'll explore browsing from a Pi Zero :)
Since it seems like the web is breaking down all around us, here is a tool to make things a little more bearable when your venture outside the 'verse: https://libredirect.github.io/download.html It will intercept and redirect you to a privacy-focused version of the site you've landed on or been linked to.
@killyourfm@gimulnautti It was wanting to stand out on radio. "Louder = better". Just like commercials would turn it up to 11, you could do the same with music once the cd format was popularized. You generally can't get away with compression to the same extent on vinyl because on a CD you just have 1 and 0 while the needle and the groove need to actually move to the extremes (try looking at a compressed sound wave and imagine having a needle track through a miniature of it).
@killyourfm@cdp1337 It originally launched on 720p platforms. Perhaps running it that low helps a bit? Otherwise, it was famous for being great with a controller before Diablo was.
Been using computers since they were 8 bits. Generally like those and 16 bits better than what we use today. Have too many games and too little time. Playing around a bit with Linux these days - both on Pi and as desktop and on Steam Deck. Always used and loved the "wrong" platforms, so you'll see me talking fondly about things like Amiga and Dreamcast with zero shame. I try to keep politics to a minimum and just have fun on here - but no promises! No QT.
