Yes, but it’s, like, really fancy.

I use musicbee and MP3/FLAC.

My music collection is to large and keyed to my tastes to throw away, and I don’t want to pay for Spotify.

90th percentile means it performed equal or better than 90% of the comparisons, no? Not that it got 90% score.

The security bit is doing it’s job. If this is a barrier for someone, then they aren’t the kind of person who should be playing with the internals of a dangerous electronic device.

This is the same person that had to smash open the device like a caveman banging rocks together. Posting a rant online instead of just buying a security bit isn’t a good second step either. OP may certainly be the exact type of person to keep out: bold enough to try to break open electronics, but stopped by a fairly standard security bit.

I remember getting a 2 GB hard drive and thinking I’ll never be able to fill it up. Now I have video files more then 10 times that size

Does Conchita not count as non binary?

Couldbealeotard, 3 days ago

Maybe I’m ignorant, but by definition that seems non binary to me. Unless “non binary” no longer means non binary, and now it has some new trendy definition.

Couldbealeotard, 2 days ago

Isn’t the idea of binary having two socially defined entities: man, woman. Having someone who defies either definition is non binary. Opposing the idea that you can only be one or the other.

Conchita dresses half way between man and woman. Dresses, skirts, long hair, make up, beard. Even the name Conchita Wurst is a wordplay for “vagina penis”.

The example of a male presenting as female or somewhere between those two seems within the exact definition of non binary.

So being non binary is more of a feeling than a state?

Couldbealeotard, 2 days ago

I’m afraid I don’t understand what violating the binary means, and it still seems to me that presenting female with a beard does not fit what I thought the binary of gender was supposed to mean.

Couldbealeotard, 1 day ago

I’m not trying to imply anything. I’ve just never had a feeling about my gender so I don’t really understand the concept. I was born a man, I present as a man, but I can’t say that I feel like a man, I just feel like me.

I think there actually is a rights issue. Sphere Hunter on YouTube has some good videos on the series

It’s not about wanting it to stop, it’s about getting it to maturity so we can get out of this phase of buzz words, misleading marketing, and then we can find out what the tech can actually be useful for.

Did you know that “factoid” means small piece of trivia? /S

A big part of Airbnb used to be spending time with a host. It has since turned into just landlord via app.

What do you mean “powerful monitor”. It just needs to display a picture.

Couldbealeotard, 4 days ago

Then you need a more powerful PC. What do you mean a more powerful monitor? I don’t even understand what that means.

Couldbealeotard, 7 days ago

I find that I have to do that now, because it seems the internet has been geared towards people that think you have to ask the computer a question instead of searching for key words like how it used to work.

I find it more difficult now because often the search results are what the search engine thinks I want, instead of what I actually asked for.

Couldbealeotard, 7 days ago

And I prefer it the other way.

Jaws was never my scene, and I don’t like Star Wars

Maybe you can explain what you actually mean then, because I don’t understand your point.

I would say those dollar-store VPN products people use for geo-spoofing is the worst security risk when it comes to VPNs. You are sending your data through some other company that you have no control or insight into. You have no idea what network security they employ, or whether they are willing or obligated to release your data to other parties.

Again, plenty of films/TV just use substitution ciphers for alien languages that are definitely not english in canon. Stargate Atlantis has Ancient text that can be deciphered into english letters, but that’s just an easter egg for the fans.

If the story is translating the spoken language for the benefit of the audience, there’s no reason text can’t have the same justification.

Couldbealeotard, 9 days ago

In Stargate “Ancient” is an old latin style language (the Ancients are connected to early human civilisation) and is spoken like a variant of actual Latin when it is shown to be not understood by characters that are present. When the scene is strictly Ancients in the past the actors speak english for the benefit of the audience. I think it’s worth pointing out that in Stargate, most modern aliens speak actual english for no justifiable reason.

wouldn’t the signs be in the Latin alphabet as well?

They were in the original release of Star Wars (1977). Lucas changed them to an alien alphabet, I assume to help show that basic isn’t just english, but allowing nerds like us to translate them for fun. I actually think the concept of basic didn’t exist when he made the first film and, like the many other changes to the series, was retroactively applied as the non-english universal language for that galaxy.
