To be fair. Lts being more stable is kinda the point, thats why important infrastructure like hospital equipment will always run older lts release versions with as little additional updates possible.

This does not excuse the sheer lack of competence Microsoft has been displaying.

In this work the artist seems to portrays the feeling of disillusionment of modern life but there is more beyond the surface of these waters.

The subject is in a fastfood restaurant, presumably eating out by choice, they are clearly no longer waiting in line as demonstrated by the already obtained drink, but yet they do not look happy.

The style of intens lines put emphasis on this surreal feeling. Are they really hungry, do they want to be here? Or are they just going trough the motions of their life. They do not know themselves.

But thats not all because once the art observer realizes this they may even understand beyond it and in effect watch themselves in the mirror. Looking at this art, seemingly by choice. But do they want or need art or are they also just going trough the motions themselves?

Finally hitting the true intention of this art, reflection on the ego that so perversely sees art and then makes it about themselves. Illustrates by the sexual desire clearly expressed by this sad entity.

Truly a masterpiece of its kind. Bidding will start at 4 whole hands of seashells.

With some apps/games it definitely feels like it does. Would love to see someone dedicated do proper Wine vs windows benchmarks!

Data goes in one end and…

Its uncanny for most people to look at themselves in photos or video because we are so used to seeing our mirror reflections instead.

Same can be reasoned with acoustics. The sounds we speak are made inside your throat and mouth, practically already resonating within the skull. It’s bound to sound different than what a microphone some feet away will pick up.

Feels like an imposter compared to how you know yourself.

Yes but no. Cause and effect are reversed.

Kid thinks dad hates them for having to upond their life. They feel like a burden and that dad is just doing the job but supposedly has every reason to hate them.

But parents choose the burden of children, there is nothing wrong with being a burden to your parents.

This is undoubtedly sigma levels of love from dad. You clearly mean the world to him.

I am not going to say this is a perfect tactic though because for me someone micromanaging my life and forces me to be physically active would backfire so hard. But in theory all of those are textbook ways to deal with depression, healthy body and mind, structured lifestyle…

You have it backwards.

German in German is “Deutsch” or “Duits” in Dutch.

Dutch in Dutch is “Nederlands” or “Niederländisch” in German.

“Deutch” comes from an old high german word “diutisc” which meant “of the people”

“Dutch” comes from “Diest” meaning “people’s language”

When the Romans invaded England, they important the Latin “Germania” to refer to Germany and gradually started to use “Dutch” for the common people of the “lower countries” (Belgium and Netherlands)

I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.

Wouldn’t it?

There are many biological and neurological reasons on why we can feel fatigue/tired. consuming definitely affects it in a meaningful way.

I would point at all the caffeinated stuff that exists but even a piece of fruit can grant you a short buff.

Eventually you will require sleep but science is still trying to understand why exactly that is.

I have tried snac before as a minimalist fediverse server but the blog style layout isn’t really for me.

I have also considered wether a personal Lemmy is a good idea or not.

It is so undervalued for how amazing streaming your own music collection is.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t visit public spaces.

Our upbringing leaves huge impressions on us that help us shape who we become, but a prison implies a freedom you are kept away from.

If we had no upbringing whatsoever (how would that look like?) would we have more potential?

Even if we could engineer the perfect adult body to be born as, would we retain our reality of unique individual lives or would we all become the same flavour of person?, limiting the range of what humans combined can experience (highs and lows).

I’d argue the restrictive prison is individual life itself, you can never become someone else that exists or experience things as different species. You can only really experience your own perspective of lived experiences.

The people around you are modifiers they may enable you, hinder you but others are never and never have been in charge of your person, regardless of how much they/parents may pretend to be.

Wrong community but i want to give this a fair assessment because of how many don’t want to unity against the rich thinking they are it and would have to live with less.

This scenario is not ruling class.

Summarised its wealthy business owner that owns plural properties.

This can be considered high end middle class. And is a good example of how little most people really have. The Middle class that most people believe they belong to is basically just business owners nowadays, almost everyone who is “employee” and not owner is lower class.

The actual rich, 1% upper class which will look at this family and person as dirt.

The 1% upper class does not just stay in a 5 star hotel as if it was note worthy expense. Their accommodations are simply arranged and provided.

They’d laugh at “owns a resort” because thats just a single asset to put on their portfolio of ownerships.

They don’t consider whether or not something is egypt because they are free to fly wherever they want.

The rich will swallow this wealthy person and family whole if their greed finds them.

lies to themselves

Drug addiction will do that, and alcohol is a hard one.

To be more technical correct, all ideals go out of the window the moment a shareholder pushes a little.

Apple has been one of the wealthiest countries for years, they don’t need money, they can’t be doing this just for money.

They are doing it, to get more money yes, but only in order to make the angle of a line go up so they can sell a comfortable illusion to the people keeping them in charge of the available unimaginable mass of wealth already there.

For tv shows and movies:

Older content is rapidly disappearing/getting less accessible. Especially non english content. Shout out to do your part in legally archiving digital media from public libraries.

At the same time new media is pushed build on Existing mega franchises, everything is the same format with the same formula with no higher goal then the profit-margin.

online: is a different story because google owns it. They decide how youtube presents content to users, what do’s and don’ts get punished or get you recommended more.

Again no goal higher then the profit margin,1 ad for a 30 minute video is not as efficient as 1 every so many shorts. And because shorts are more random and your just consuming the flos its harder to tell the ads apart.

Because shorts are optimised on phone, google also rules how 50% of people use their phone it pushes more people to this more exploitative and less ad blockade device.

Good content still exists, its just a lot harder to find because promoting it is less profitable.

Their is a word for this kind of things falling apart to chase profit. Its enshitification.

I have done research into what product i should buy three times and i am still not sure enough to answer this. That says enough about how confusing the modern tech market is.

They are definitly proprietary and a competitor to LDAC from sony. Finding something that supports both sennheiser and sony headsets without being overpriced is a nightmare.

The renaming while still selling it with older packaging for years has been angering me since it happend.

Honestly it would not be so much of a problem if things where actually labeled appropriately with all the actual specs and support features on the package but its more profitable to keep you guessing (and going for the higher priced one just in case)

They do the same thing with Bluetooth audio transmission usb, their “high quality audio” and “ps5 compatible” but does not tell me wether it supports aptx or not?

Also the whole “buy a product clearly pictured with usb A type connector, receive a usb C type connector variant, if lucky, with an added adapter.
