Are you too POOR to devote an entire gigabyte per music album? Do you think .flac is gay and retarded?I agree, so I made a bash script that recursively ACKS FLACS in a given folder using ffmpeg.
>>106516542>>106516582to be completely fair i do agree and i know about lossless vs lossy but seriously 15-35 megs per song is simply TOO fat. There also isn't a lighter alternative, as far as I know flac is the smallest lossless format that isn't proprietary.
Use webm. Stop using proprietary codecs.
>>106516542This is true. This is also why old YouTube videos look shitty. They just degraded over time.

man! audiophools make the best circlejerkers. you can never tell if you're reading genuine retardations, or if it's just someone taking the piss.
Remember RadioShack?
>>106504246Best friend worked there well into the 2000s. He sold cellphones too and make a ton of commission off of those. So many boomers would visit out of nostalgia. Some things they were affordable desu. >>106506500I remember taking trips to buy spindles of CD-Rs because they sold them cheaper than anyone else.
>>106509937I remember when frys was packed in 2014-25 because people were buying mining gpus to mine eth and other shitcoinsI was there, good items. A lot of those people probably had a lot of dogecoin and cashed out.This world is so fucking stupid fake and gay lmao
>>106505219The problem with the big online retailers is that the many of individual sellers are dishonest, and there's no vetting process for them.
>>106505035I remember them selling phones and phone plans. Obviously that didn't work, nobody really needs a phone plan NOW, like you don't realize oh crap, I need to run down to radioshack to buy a cell phone, at least not in the modern age.It should have stayed as a hobby store. With all the "maker" shit happening now they could have capitalized on that and added 3d printers and computer parts and hosting events and some other stuff and they might have made it.I've been to a microcenter, clearly the brick and mortar business model still works for them, and the place is always packed.There's been many times when I wanted to have a single small component as soon as possible but there's nowhere to do that now.
>>106504561It mostly hasn't since like... 2007, right before Obummer took over RS went under. All the local stores (which were dead) basically were killed.

Junior roles down 23%.Senior roles up 14%.Harvard tracked 285,000 firms.

They are all cucked, pro-brown/black shitholes now. Russia is mass importing jeets and Central Asians. Even Iceland, a literal frozen island in the North Atlantic and the true last bastion of whiteness is a feminist shithole that wants brown/black migrants for "muh anti-racism". There is no where to fucking go for whites!
u witepeepo need to get a grip and stop acting like wimmin
>>106516161You make some good points. I'm also sick of woke attitudes that are illiberal and blatantly anti-meritocratic. However, I think that woke DEI stuff is best modeled as a tax on efficiency and innovation. That's not good, but it's a tax that the West can afford to pay, and it's fundamentally less damaging than authoritarian control of markets, which screws up all the incentives - instead of competence, the strongest incentive becomes sucking up to the Party. I think that Richard Hanania has the right estimation of the sitaution: https://www.richardhanania.com/p/why-the-technocapital-machine-is
>>106510540Who's gonna be buying burgers when everybody's unemployed
>>106516424Yes, actually. When there aren't any good prospects for young men societies tend to suddenly have a lot of terrorists on their hands. Blue collar goes to illegals, white collar to Indians, what's left for American men? Violence.
Is AI getting worse? It seems like it was actually usable for about 6 months and now it won't produce any usable code. Are they gimping the models to try and turn a profit?
>>106514100I genuinely don't believe this is real.
>>106515365>. The ai is t getting shit because of censorship, it's because openai is losing insane amounts of money to capture investor interestInvestor interest is the reason they censor the models and intentionally hold back model development in favor of guardrails and safety. They learned their lesson once with the AI Dungeon debacle where the logs for that leaked and it turned out most people were using their AI for loli ERP. They would rather burn the whole thing to the ground than allow that for even a second, and context memory, training data, all of these things are negatively impacted by attempts to censor it.
>>106516313Censorship doesn't matter for code buddy.
Yes they've all gotten worse. Cursor, Claude, GPT-5. Still usable enough but noticeably stupider.

Does it help and make it easier to learn C++ if you learn C first?
>>106516531They make different trade offs to restrict what you can write or read.For example long anonymous functions are discouraged in Matlab or python, as they're restricted to a single statement and if you want to change it to multiple statements well you have to name the function which sometimes even has to be it's own file. So I'm forced to pick a name for the 2 lines and type it out two or three times. These extra steps interrupt my mental flow state and pollute my mental namespace, but they give other people the same satisfaction I get watching a Rube Goldberg machine, which helps them to keep the momentum going.Learning a language might be remembering all those idiosyncrasies, but it might also be the more difficult process of adjusting your expectations so you can get joy from a shitlang.
>>106516756I don't think ecosystem is relevant at all to a beginner. Core programming constructs, then data structures and algorithmic thinking are the important parts. Anything higher level than that is a distraction and an impediment to becoming a fundamentally skilled programmer.
>>106516507>>Python is a better way to learn basic programming,you meant lisp
>>106516863OP explicitly wants to create native GUIs.
>>106516366Learn C.Make projects with C.Move on to C++ when you feel C is holding you back. (never)

>>106515582>it's super expensiveDafuq? It's, like, 10 bucks a 2 in sheet, that's more than enough for a few applications, anon.
>>106516168>it's a good machine but it definitely doesn't fit the "high end specs for 2025" criteriathank you for the info. can you ballpark total cost with maximum specs for that model? assuming i dont mind what the screen is and im not looking for the 100% niche autism version, just a good base to upgrade.for me 1300 for this barebones + <800 in upgrades for 8tb ssd, 96gb ram, etc seem worth it. but I am experiencing choice paralysis and also it's a niche model and not many reviews.
>>106516303>can you ballpark total cost with maximum specs for that model?the T480? about ~150-200 for the machine itself, if you're lucky you can get an i7 version at that price but i5 is fine too (typing that on my i5 T480 btw). then you can upgrade the RAM (I paid 100 for my 64GB kit), SSD (pick whatever NVMe size you need, and there's potential to add a 2nd one in the WWAN slot), wifi card (AX210 for about 15 on aliexpress), trackpad (glass trackpad is roughly 40-45, you can ignore that upgrade if you use the trackpoint), keyboard if the one you buy isn't backlit (roughly 30 bucks, might be a bit more or less depending on supply), 72Wh external battery (roughly 45), dual heatpipe cooler (~25-30), screen panel (the seller I bought mine from sells a great one for 65), and I think that's about the extent I've upgraded mine. all those prices are in euros, convert in your own currency if applicable. also all parts were bought from aliexpress except for the backlit keyboard and battery which I bought off ebay, and ram/ssd from amazon. I can provide links for most of those if you need themagain this is a laptop that was released in 2018, don't expect high-end gaming performance on it. it's good for web browsing, media consumption, light games, running VMs, stuff like that though
>>106516252got a link? the only reliable source I was able to find is like 3 times that price for a single sheet (desktop CPU size)
>>106452561My Latitude 7560 handles fucking Helldivers 2 at full tilt 1080p at around 70fps and has similar specs to some of the P workstation Thinkpad models >Xeon w-11855 6-core>128gb ram>4tb Gen 4 NVME>Quadro RTX 4000 8gb (based on mobile 3090ti so probably desktop 1080ti performance)Just turn off Intel TurboBoost if you get something like this, it will immediately go into thermal throttle the second that shit comes on for more than 5 seconds. It has better specs and build quality than most gaymen laptops and it doesn't even have a gaymen card it's a Quadro.>>106480058T60! I have the wxga model with FireGL V5250 graphics based on the x1700 Pro, with SSD and WindowsXP and the 9-cell extendo clip battery. Shits awesome I love it, T60/T61 was peak Thinkpad, I run it with a RAMDisk set to 2gb to cut down on trim with XP and SSDs, it runs I believer Supermium for the browser and still plays CS 1.6 online and UT99 online.
Look at that. Konqi. The KDE mascot.The green is playful but not too loud. The scarf is tasteful, vivid, a bold stroke of red.Notice the horns. Subtle, angular, catching the light with a clean, deliberate edge.And the box filled with KDE tools, paintbrush, stickers, the whole arsenal. Immaculately arranged, not a single element out of place.It’s not just a mascot. It’s perfection.
