Yeah that comment was too concise, which often comes off as condescending according to my friends. Also I used the wrong term because I meant earbuds specifically.

Which is not to say that earbuds all sound bad, it’s just that imo, when you’re starting to look at (especially Bluetooth) earbuds that sound on par with a good pair of, say 150€ over ear cabled headphones geared for sound quality, imo it’s too expensive for something that I’m not gonna use extensively (because I’d much rather use over ear headphones for prolonged use, if only for comfort)

I’m not a native English speaker so, yeah, I used the wrong term because I forgot that the word “earbuds” exists. But what I meant is simply that sound quality is not the selling point for earbuds.

If I go for earbuds I want them to have good battery life and be comfortable because I have weirdly shaped ear canals, and I’m only going for “decent” sound because the ones that actually sound on par with a good pair of over ear headphones are like twice the price, at best. Also, yeah, wired is usually my go to for quality. My favorite so far on that front are my ATH M50X but they are not super comfortable for extended use because of my big ass ears so I’m still looking for the holy grail in that price range.

Personally I don’t really give a fuck about headphones quality unless it’s particularly shitty, because if I want quality I’m using one of my headsets (preferably one that doesn’t use Bluetooth), but ok.

Also what the fuck is judgy about my personal preferences ? I’m not going to think less of someone because of their choice of audio hardware lmao. And personal preferences are personal. Yes I am a bit anal about the sound quality of my headsets but that is strictly a me problem.

No, on users profiles they are organized chronologically by default, and you can sort them by votes, both on Reddit and on Lemmy

They’re headphones. They sound ok at best.

Adblock lol

(If you are still using Adblock, I beg you, switch to ublock origin. Adblock takes money from advertisers to not block their shit.)

8th letter of the alphabet (H), twice => short for “Heil Hitler”. Very common way for nazis to recognize each other

What are they gonna do next, ban the symbol from history books or popular games like Wolfenstein?

History is history, so I don’t think it’s banned from history books as long as it doesn’t glorify nazi Germany or engages in revisionism. About videogames though… Until 2018, yes.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I only remember this stuff from my German class and my mom who lived in Germany for a few years in the 70s. Also, read the article. This isn’t a legal thing, this is simply a brand trying to avoid getting associated with nazis

88 is too “generic” to be banned. The double sig rune in a similar graphic style as the SS symbol is pretty damn specific.

Edit : actually it’s nothing like a ban. This is just Adidas understandably trying not to be associated with neo nazis. They could very well “ban” people from buying custom 88 shirts too because of the association and the fact that no actual football player uses it in the first place

It’s been banned from Nature for a while now

Basic C++ isn’t really confusing (if you are not handwriting makefiles). It starts to get fucky when you get into memory handling, templates, etc. I’m assuming they are only using C++ over C for basic OOP (class/structs inheritance etc).

This was actually tried btw. Mostly as a joke iirc

Edit: Looking into it, apparently it’s not confirmed. Damn, that was a very popular urban myth in french programming circles back in the 2010’s

Silly you, you should know that it is not allowed to say anything that could be construed as remotely positive about Epic (or anything negative about Valve/Steam, for that matter) on this site.

Ada could never be republican, on the basis that it’s named after a british woman scientist. I don’t think she’s on record as a feminist, but that’s about the only thing that would make her “worse” in their eyes

Also why do the democrats only get languages for people who don’t care about performances ? /s ^(it’s just a prank bro)

To put it bluntly, it sounds like you’re a victim of the ol’ racism, possibly aggravated by the fact that you’re a man. Your face looks very friendly to me in these pictures (maybe not the second to last, but you don’t look threatening either there, I get more of a “please don’t bother me” vibe from it)

Yeah I was thinking about exactly that when writing this comment. Windows is one of these things I’m currently putting up with.

I’m planning on building a new PC though, and since I love my steam deck I’m wondering if I should try going full Linux with this one.

You don’t. Gamers, are generally happy to bow to their corporate overlords for some reason.

Source: am a gamer. And I admit I do put up with some of that bullshit too.

You joke, but that might be the only global warming effect that the rich actually care about. Not to mention that it will probably decrease the value of their properties in the Alps

Also if that picture is from said SUV, I’m having a hard time figuring out how a set of good old mechanical gauges is less sustainable than screens

IIRC snail was originally a survival food. I guess over time people kept refining the preparation process and accompaniments until it became a delicacy (indeed, probably because it’s very far from being a convenient dish to make).

Source : am french. I ate snails yesterday for Christmas Eve’s dinner, actually.
