i dont understand how a city can create laws? a city is not a government, its a municipality

fart check:

he looks like every mid 30s guy that refuses to age and that buys 12$ coffee at local coffee shops because they can definitely taste the difference

One of the books I had to read in school was Animal Farm by George Orwell, where the tyrannical leaders are pigs. Quite ironic for him to say that as the pigs were the ones censoring the other animals.

you have no idea how popular insta is if you think this is the case

oh he’ll remove those on Monday like he always does. he’s been manipulating the markets for months now

he wasn’t supporting trump, he was agreeing with one specific policy choice he made that would help reduce big tech influence. Andy has no history of being a Maga supporter and even today, he posts only progressive stuff

xmpp is still alive and is still an open standard

that’s not the point, passkeys are not vendor centric, they are a standard. you don’t want to duplicate a passkey for the same reason you don’t want to copy an SSH private key on multiple devices. it’s a security feature that allows disabling the account access in case the device becomes compromised (lost, stolen, infected, etc.)

a very long password that (ideally) is only bound to a single device, requires a second identifier (biometric, PIN, password) and that is phishing resistant.

I hope countries outside the EU can also use this system

easy, go at an ATM, get 20$ bills, and then ask people (friends, cashier etc) to change it for smaller or larger bills

don’t say it too loud the nerds on here will be angry at you (you’re already getting down voted for no reason)

do a blind test between ogg 320kbps which Spotify premium uses and FLAC and tell me your score then

my point is, if you’re not working on that audio, there is no audible difference between two

why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if…

• you have the right hardware
• you have the ear trained to hear compression
• you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
• you are in a quiet room
• you are actively looking for compression artifacts

you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)

au lieu de punir les responsables de ce scandale on pénalise les citoyens qui ont rien demandé (et qui sont ceux qui se sont fait avoir en premier lieu, car c’est l’argent des contribuables qui a payé tout ça)

pheww i thought i was talking to an american for a sec

are you stupid or sarcastic?

categorizing sports between women and men separately always seemed weird to me. Why is it not a global ranking? A global ELO system that makes sure every athlete fights other athletes in the same ELO range, doesn’t matter man woman because it’s based on performance/skill instead.
