Don't search for computer speakers, just look for normal speakers on which I can't help out too much on. Unless you want to invest into an expensive sound card, you probably should go for an AV-Receiver which transmits the audio through HDMI as this will give you the maximum quality depending on the supported formats. I have a sound card -> old school amplifier -> speaker setup. Basically it is your choice where the digital to analogue transformation happens, whether through a receiver or sound card. A sound card does have the massive advantage of providing virtual headphone surround sound (yes on stereo headphones, and no, this is really working) which receivers typically don't have, because reasons and it will provide you with a massive immersion boost. And no onboard sound is not comparable, even the best one is a clear step down.

Aurix ,

External sound cards have the advantage of less electrical interference, but usually the internal ones have external power not coming from the PCIe slot so it isn't a big problem. Asus left the market leaving you with good old Creative Sound Blaster again. Choose whatever your budget allows, the two upper tier ones just differ in accessories, but that might have changed. And AV receivers the same, I am not the up to date audio guy what is a good deal. Just try to stay >120 dB SNR on sound cards for high end.

But would give you a hell of a beating in the spanish Catalan referendum on Independence which was just a bunch of years ago and not some ancient happening.

Aurix ,

These arguments go for Christianity as well obviously. But I think the theological answer will depend a bit on their interpretation of how omnipotent this God is or if even suffering is part of his ways. And don't forget that "outside" of our universe there could be one and it's just a way of destiny. It's not such a snarky remark.

10-methoxy-5,6-dipropylundecan-2,3,4,7,8,9-hexone from /u/cakeotic

It's the loss meme somehow.

Aurix ,

Could you explain what this community was about?

Aurix ,

Mastodon went in two seriously wrong directions, but seems to remedy them which is difficult. First they have no proper quote supporting and failing to realize all communication works this way on the internet. Be it comments on articles, all the newspapers quoting others and thus creating those articles etc.
Second the lack of algorithms due to a misguided opinion they are inherently evil. What we got instead is a random feed of random messages where a news like structure like on Twitter is not possible. Extremely important events are buried behind tons of crappy posts. And the only region for whom the explore tab is working is America as nothing is localized. Also scrolling through the feed doesn't tell you what seems to garner attraction by the number of comments. So most clicks are wasted on deadend topics.

Aurix ,

That wasn't clear to me by the UI and I didn't see the easy switch option.

Aurix ,

Twitter has two tabs, one with and the other one with less algorithms, Mastodon should do that as well. The discussion is about improving it and Bluesky is in its infancy.

Aurix ,

This is on the mod team of the mentioned communities. On no commercial site this crap would fly. On reddit fitgirls site is never mentioned in full for good reason. Crosslinking to pastebin blobs is just formaiity. These communities should be kept clear of any linking.

Aurix ,

On crackwatch people avoided it a lot I think. Might have changed at some point.

Aurix ,

Living off the grid. A world where AI and data collection wasn't so massive that even not participating in anything they will have a full profile of you. Data will become compromised until everything leaks out everywhere. When abusive powers will mathematically make future decisions for you, e. g. a. negative personality-health profile which makes a college dropout almost certain and therefore deny you the choice. People think in absolutes and not even partial success is viable. Just like now big corporations have such narrow application profiles that every human not built in a genetic factory is not worth it. I think the world becomes rapidly more hostile to neurodivergence. And all will suffer from it, because thinking diversity is key.

Aurix ,

There is the psychological factor that Windows behaves more like malware with their forced full screen overlays to shove the Edge into your ass. Over and over again. Microsoft doesn't take No for an answer like an abusive partner.

Selbstverständlich hat der Kreml, präziser die Administration des Präsidenten, schon längst beschlossen gehabt, dass er nicht antreten wird.

https://meduza.io/feature/2024/02/08/golosa-dolzhny-idti-kuda-nado

Der spannende Teil ist nun, ob es so wie der Kreml vermutet nicht zu Protesten kommt, oder doch der Widerstand stärker anwächst.

Aurix ,

Unfortunately many services ignore these Tags.

Hate the clickbait article naming. Downvoted.

Aurix ,

No, because the headline has no information on what it is. And when I opened the site indeed it is devoid of informational content.

[not solved] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection

Hello! I (tried, at least) converted an old laptop to a Debian home server, and I was trying to set up duckdns.org and to enable port forwarding on my router. internet connection was working, I installed packages, docker, immich, etc, and then suddenly (I don't know exactly when) it refuses to connect to the internet. It does...

Aurix ,

Go to the outer status page. The router should display whether it has an internet connection to your provider. If no, then your router/modem has no credentials or another issue preventing access.

If it shows as working, then you can narrow it down to incorrect DNS and IP routing. Perhaps dynamic IP allocation is set to off or another configuration error or bug, in which case you might need to reset all the router settings. Then, is it only broken for a single end device?

Aurix ,

Though the application overall is stable and usable, it should not be considered safe for critically important work. There are numerous bugs and half working implementations. Pull requests are greatly appreciated.

Not very reassuring.

Aurix ,

JuffEd looks from the screenshots as the closest one.

Aurix ,

Especially the worse the AI botting problem will become. Let us hope Lemmy will have good tools and a community to mitigate that.

Aurix ,

The human mind strives for consistency and explainability. For long it was religious reasoning, and now we are in a postfactual mess. Where facts are important, but only so long they support either a specific side or to lessen the time and ease the emotional burden when convicting someone.

Aurix ,

Doubt it as they will get buried anyways. Forums should be more common and even they autolock threads. At some point in time you have to reframe the content into the current cultural context.

Aurix ,

Deportation, use deportation. Remigration is an euphemism for deporting those deemed unworthy as their culture or genetics don't match the arbitrary fascist ideals.

There were additional clarifications Israel is in good standing with the IIHF. https://www.iihf.com/en/news/57588/restriction_of_israeli_national_team_explained

Wish we could ban Facebook for an actually sensitive social issue. Big Tech is a liability.

Taiwan prepares to elect a president and legislature in what's seen as a test of control with China ( apnews.com )

Taiwan is preparing to elect a president and legislature Saturday in what many see as a test of control with China, which claims the self-governing island republic as its own territory to be unified with force if necessary. The presidential race is tight, and both China and Taiwan’s key ally, the U.S., are weighing in on...

Aurix ,

Not up for joking, eh?

Aurix ,

What a horrible way to handle this. A bit like YouTube demonetization policies.

Aurix ,

Depends whether this is a limited operation or a beginning of another war. Because that will shatter the already worldwide fragile state.

Lemmy (active) users # seems to stabilize

Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy,...

Aurix ,

Many had and have multiple accounts due to federation shenanigans. The actual userbase might have actually grown despite significantly lower numbers compared to the peak.

Aurix ,

wdym w/ ur q?

Aurix ,

But a billboard like text, lke "TikTok", something super short and simple, is not the same as a scientific academic paper requiring the effort and skill to find a way to understand concepts and words you did not know before. And keeping it up through several pages.

Aurix ,

It's about the Ryzen 8000G APUs. So definitely not "extreme".

Aurix ,

I replaced Notepad with Obsidian.

Obligatory many drug users are your unsuspecting neighbors, bankers, social workers going about their normal life until for some they break down into the downwards spiral.
