You do you, friend. I’m just sharing my experience, not trying prove anything.

Over bluetooth through a car stereo, no you won’t hear a difference. But over a cable through a decent pair of headphones, there is a difference. Even more with a good DAC, amp, and speakers.

The problem with audio quality is that one bad step in the chain from bits to eardrums will nerf the sound quality. So, if you upgrade one step you have to upgrade all of the other steps too before you will reap any benefits.

As a musician and audio engineer, I would love to say that you should experience a richer music listening experience. On the other hand… fucking rent.

Okay, but also:

“freebsd-update” would probably be the equivalent of updating the “base” meta-package on a linux distro

That stupid dinosaur… every. fucking. time.

I’ve always heard that the British accent from the 1700s was like a “modern” southern accent in America. Here’s an inconclusive BBC article:

“BLE Radar” I think was picking up body cams at one point

I lived here for several years. Every time you walk outside, an insect will find an orifice.

With a terrible cry the Balrog fell forward, and its shadow plunged down and vanished. But even as it fell it swung its whip…

Hey there decentralized digital currency systems, you wanna… centralize?

International Rights Advocates has sued Starbucks on behalf of eight Brazilian plaintiffs who were trafficked and forced into modern day slavery on coffee plantations that supply a major percentage of Starbucks’ coffee imports.

Same here. I have and will always periodically reinstall no matter which OS I happen to be using. Arch is the only distro that keeps me coming back because installation and setup is such an active process. Every time around I learn something new and get more effecient at the process, which is so much more rewarding than filling a few boxes and waiting on a progress bar as is the case with most distros I have experienced.

iPXE maybe? But there’s a lot of implementation details you would have to figure out. Two that come to mind are:

1. A mobile device from which you can selectively provide an image for booting

2. A physical intrusion detection system for your home machine that you can also read remotely

You seem to spend a lot of energy questioning people’s intentions, inventing reasons to question whether people’s intentions toward you are genuine. Some do deserve to be questioned, no doubt. It just seems draining, and for what goal?

Do you aim to be the sole determiner of truth? To never be duped again? To sharpen your skills as an investigator?

How much more creative energy could you put into the world by taking people at their word in all but the highest risk cases?

Yes, yes it is

What weighs more: the cost of taking people at their word, or the effort it takes to interpret the subtext of every interaction?

What would Altman gain from overstating the environmental impact of his own company?

What if power consumption is not so much limited by the software’s appetite, but rather by the hardware’s capabilities?

Porque no nouveau?

…to shreds it is, then.
