Sounds like I better get to troubleshooting! Appreciate the reply :)

You have any wifi issues? Got mine super early too and the wifi is terrible in a lot of places. I have a wired dock though, so it’s not a huge deal for me. Should probably look for a fix… Haha

Everyone is comparing active users to total users though, Lemmy’s total users is about 10x the number of actives users at 477k. I think you have to post or comment to be marked active?

Excellent setup! You’re doing God’s work

Do you have any kind of backups in place? I ask becuase raid 0 means if either of your disks fail you lose everything. Just wanted to make sure you’re aware!

I read recently that a big factor is motivation for the ADHD brain, where long term reward can be a motivating factor for a non-ADHD brain other things like urgency can be a much more powerful motivator for an ADHD brain. For me, something needing to be done but not urgently doesn’t motivate me at all, but when that same thing needs to be solved immediately I lock in knock it out ezpz

Hold my brows, I’m going in!

Once I was working on some music and got so excited about how it turned out I hit ctrl S like 5 times, it corrupted the project and I lost it 😭

He once fired a pregnant employee because she wasn’t married and therefore must have had premarital sex. They’ve fired 9 people for pre marital sex. Wacky

The trick is that it costs an absolute fortune to maintain them, that’s why they’re cheap used. I believe there Is a saying that goes something like “the only car more expensive than a luxury car is a used luxury car”

That’s a very high quality post, I appreciate you sharing it

Lemmy is such a rad place, I love it here

I think they’re joking that even with the accelerated passage of time on earth relative to them they would still die of old age before GTA VI releases

That’s so relatable. They just look like they would be so cold!

Ah, I see! Like I said though, not necessarily a quality difference but a mastering difference. It’s not that the mastering isn’t made for the album/songs, it’s just the target medium of the masters that are different and the nature of the mediums the masters are destined for.

This obviously comes down to the specific album, but from what I understand it is common to have just two masters, one for digital (streaming/CD) and one for analog (vinyl). A huge driver of this is that you CAN take a streaming master and put it on CD but you CANNOT do the same for Vinyl, because of it’s physical limitations. A streaming master on CD functions perfectly while a streaming master on vinyl has a good chance to cause the needle to jump tracks and have distortions because of the loudness the vinyl can’t handle. That’s why maybe only vinyl gets a special master, because the medium demands it.

Of course there is nothing stopping an audio engineer from creating that vinyl master and sending it for the CD and Vinyl!

Not trying to argue merits of either format though, I love and use both. I even stream music (gasp). I’m just an audio nerd info dumping haha

I think in general the reason people think vinyl sounds better actually isn’t a quality judgement and is down to the different mastering vinyl typically receives. Streaming music sources are typically mastered very loud with the dynamic range reduced as a result, this is to compete with all the other tracks mastered for loudness. Loud typically subjectively sounds better when A/B comparisons are done, like when a streaming service serves up a bunch of random songs. Because vinyl has the privilege of not being shuffled with other productions and due to the physical nature of the medium it typically receives a bespoke mastering of the content. This bespoke master typically has a better dynamic range because it doesn’t have to max out loudness. In my experience I prefer the vinyl mastering of an album versus the streaming mastering 90% of the time. There are some stinkers though :P

Ken M energy, haha

Same, every now and then I’ll get hopeful and do some research on the latest attempts to find a cure. Usually just end up more bummed about the situation haha

The benefit of having unused RAM is that every program you are using can remain in memory for quick multitasking access and when you go to launch a new program it can be loaded into that unused RAM without unloading any of the currently running programs. What part about that is a misunderstanding? Would the user be better off if the application in focus aggressively reserved RAM it didn’t need to slow down every other running application? Because that’s what Photoshop does
