Key difference

He can seek my soul any day uwu

I was a what.cd…. Thing. RIP.

haven't seen soulseek mentioned in a long while^^ it still rocks!

Never used it! What’s it like?

Top car will start to loudly beep and light up the dashboard like a christmas tree with SERVICE NOW!!! warnings whenever the windshield wiper fluid is low, seat belt is not fastend or a brake light is out. Has controls for radio and clima hidden 3 levels deep behind a touch screen interface. Comes with an app that will somehow stop working after 5 years when the car is no longer sold, or after you upgrade your phone. Has a subscription that allows you to go faster and use the heated seats you already paid for when you bought it.

Bottom car will run as long it has fuel, dosnt judge you like a fuckin audi would and lists engine oil as "optional" in the manual.

The dude looks way cooler than the try-hards

Damn, TIL those cool steampunk looking glasses I see on character designs a lot have a functional purpose. You can tell I’m very knowledgeable about sports 👍

Whaaaat that's a thing? I shoot pretty often, and it can be pretty hard to adjust your eyes between targets. I might grab these.

Yeah, he doesn't need any fancy gadgets to perform. Just a gun and a dream

I dunno', I hear a distinct difference between any YouTube video and the CD, even ones posted by the artists or labels directly.

Though I do not pay for YouTube premium and never will, so maybe it's better if you pay the beast.

Either way, fuck the beast. ... and not in a good way.

yea, it's also just up to 160

using grayjay to download wham:last christmas gives us up to 134kbps opus. which is fine, it's the official channel and all, so upload is pretty good.

Just talking, is more like 118kbps, a gresham lecture came in at that.

Opus is variable, which is pretty good. saves bandwith and all.

also to point out, youtube reencodes a lot of videos, so the older it is - the more likely it has been re-encoded. and youtube is not encoding from an old master file.

Point is, totally agree on the generational thing, which you (mostly) avoids with spotify.

it's good enough for most audio setups if you find the decent audio on youtube first

The codec used for transmission is a tiny part of the production pipeline. Perhaps it is publishers choosing to mostly push lesser quality to YouTube, or videos uploaded before they started using better codecs, or any number of reasons.

The truth still stands that YouTube's videos (at keast almost) universally have shitty audio quality.

Besides, look at it this way: YouTube can be accessed for free. Why would the publishers want to push a perfect replacement for buying the music on a free platform? They'd make less money.

Well MP3 is still the most popular

That may be so, i don't know the theory, but i hear a distinct difference between songs on YouTube vs Spotify. And I'm talking newly released, direct from publisher. Stuff just sounds bad on YouTube.

I tend to buy cheapest earbuds possible since I tend to destroy them fast. Bought some better ones recently, since I had a gift card from a contest and what do you know! My phone's headphone jack died... =/

What are they?

I'm out here advocating for physical media in 2024, so it's safe to assume that my tech has not advanced much beyond smashing rocks together and yelling at the moon.

USB DVD drives are super cheap.

Just saying.
