Where are the good political songs? (piped.video)

I feel like there are lots of parallels between the eighties and now (recession/inflation, yuppies/inequality, skin-heads/fascists, hot-cold wars etc.) but there used to be protest music! Where is that stuff now? Music that’s intelligent and outraged - like we should be!...

WastedJobe,

This might not be everyones cup of tea, but metal and hardcore are full of protest music. Heaven Shall Burn for example is lyricly anti-fascist and environmentalist (live video because that show is fucking legendary).

Gojira also slaps.

WastedJobe,

Still not a great idea to burn recyclable resources. The stuff that would otherwise end up in a landfill, sure, but most plastics can be used again in some way.

WastedJobe,

Define “green”. In terms of CO2 it would obviously be horrible and incredibly stupid.

WastedJobe,

It’s not just expensive, it also doesnt work unlesss almost all energy used world wide is carbon neutral. This is because carbon removal is the reverse of a reaction used to gain energy, so it needs higher input energy than was gained by the power plant.

WastedJobe,

Isn’t arithmetic a class in Hogwarts and just a fancy word for maths (not a native speaker)? I think only Hermione takes it though and it’s only mentioned in the books.

WastedJobe,

My engineering friends and me propose that physicists should be referred to as theoretical engineers.

WastedJobe,

Kann Scholz wirklich sagen, er steht auf der Seite der Ukraine, wenn er der Ukraine nicht die Mittel gibt, Ziele hinter der Grenze anzugreifen? Wie soll man Russland besiegen wenn man keine militärischen Ziele in Russland angreifen kann?

WastedJobe,

Yes, but they don’t have finance or business degrees.

WastedJobe,

How did he get performance based bonuses when his company isn’t profitable?

WastedJobe,

Today on “Tech company uses horrible vision of the future from science fiction as marketing for their own horrible vision of the future”:

WastedJobe,

He’s got a point though, these sound more like ‘online article on tech website’ phrases, less like a community post. Not meant to be insulting, I just like to analyse language.

WastedJobe,

Used it for a good while, but I moved to Nobara for more up to date packages. Might look into it again when Cosmic releases, it looks promising. I just hope they have some way to use Gnome extensions (or a replacement).

How is it possible for this track to have so few plays on Spotify? (lemmy.one)

I noticed that the track “Canon (Primo)” by Justice only has 5,815 plays on Spotify, even though every other track on the album has millions of plays. How is this possible? I know it’s just an interlude track that you wouldn’t listen to unless you’re listening to the full album, but still, this play count seems...

WastedJobe,

AFAIK to count as one play, a song needs to be played for more than 30 seconds (source: friend used to work at a record label), so to me it’s surprising it has any plays at all.

If you owned a magic library people donated to in order to preserve media for eternity but which was going through overpopulation, what criteria would you use to decide which media survived/discarded?

I was reading a recent article about the efforts by people not to ban books. While I think the sentiment is good-natured, as a helper at my local library, this is actually very problematic. People donate to us all the time, as is how libraries work. Sometimes the books are unpopular, unproductive, harmful, or just low tier....

WastedJobe,

It is history though. Erasing it from history would make it harder to study how insane that man was, which is immediately apparent in basically any part of that book. In Germany, Mein Kampf is banned except for educational purposes, eg in history class. Nothing conveys just how bad Hitler was as effectively as his own writing.

WastedJobe,

Audio Engineer here. Not sure Ardour can open video, but it’s a capable DAW and open source. Reaper is closed source but it can open (and even render) pretty much any video format. To actually seperate a single voice, you do need additional plugins though, no matter which DAW you’re using.
I think iZotope RX could do it, but it is fairly expensive. I haven’t seen any open source audio tools that can do this at all. It is pretty much guaranteed to require some kind of machine learning, as parametrically seperating by EQ or phase won’t work if you have only one source signal (even with two or more microphones, it would be really, really hard).
A very good spectral editor might technically work, it would however take several days of manually deleting select frequencies on an almost single sample level and still sound bad, especially if the noise is nearly the same level as the signal.

BYD, der chinesische Weltmarktführer, schickt seine E-Autos nun mit einem eigenen Frachter direkt nach Deutschland (www.tagesschau.de) German

Während sich der deutsche VW-Konzern nicht zuletzt nach öffentlicher Kritik wegen sklavenähnlicher Arbeitsbedingungen im chinesischen Xinjiang aus China zurück zieht, liefert der chinesische Autobauer BYD seine billig produzierten Autos nach Deutschland und Europa....

WastedJobe,

Einerseits ja, und wenn VW das nicht schafft, dann machens halt die Chinesen, andererseits würden mich mal die Arbeitsbedingungen interessieren.

WastedJobe,

Probably some time this year, as of what they said in the stream today.

WastedJobe,

There is a Wookie padawan in The Clone Wars and I absolutely approve.

WastedJobe,

I wonder how many people have been inspired by the Paramount executives to take up sailing…

WastedJobe,

It could change the pH of the oceans, making it harder for anything to live there. Plus, it might not store the CO2 for longer than 1000 years, which doesnt really solve the issue (I have a source for that somewhere, I think it was the IPCC).
