haven't seen soulseek mentioned in a long while^^ it still rocks!

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Never used it! What’s it like?

[–] RidgeDweller@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Feels kinda mid-2000s. The data hoarders on it have even the most obscure music you can think of. Would recommend!

Top car will start to loudly beep and light up the dashboard like a christmas tree with SERVICE NOW!!! warnings whenever the windshield wiper fluid is low, seat belt is not fastend or a brake light is out. Has controls for radio and clima hidden 3 levels deep behind a touch screen interface. Comes with an app that will somehow stop working after 5 years when the car is no longer sold, or after you upgrade your phone. Has a subscription that allows you to go faster and use the heated seats you already paid for when you bought it.

Bottom car will run as long it has fuel, dosnt judge you like a fuckin audi would and lists engine oil as "optional" in the manual.

This dude... He looks lame. The woman looks great, though.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Showing this to my PO

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Does anyone know what kind of shades she’s wearing? I like it, it’s very steampunk.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 57 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Those are shooting glasses.

*I feel I also have to say that that's Kim Yeji who won gold and set a record in the 25m Pistol finals a couple months ago and her team mate, Oh Ye-jin, more recently won gold in 10m Air Pistol and also set a record.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 3 months ago

Damn, TIL those cool steampunk looking glasses I see on character designs a lot have a functional purpose. You can tell I’m very knowledgeable about sports 👍

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Whaaaat that's a thing? I shoot pretty often, and it can be pretty hard to adjust your eyes between targets. I might grab these.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

She looks cool AF.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 29 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This was inadaquetly described. The woman looks way fuckin cooler than that dude.

[–] shy_mia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it's a different kind of cool

Ita not about cool, I think the intent was more 'Spotify Premium to get on the go access to all of my music' being akin to the additional equipment used by the shooter on the left, versus the 'youtube to mp3 converter because free' being bereft of all bells and whistles and equipment on the right.

Also..you could have gotten the joke and I'm overexpla8ning, one of the two.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (6 children)

They both have shitty audio quality, but Spotify is less shitty than YouTube's horrible data compression.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

YouTube uses Opus 160kbps which is decent enough. YouTube also allows uploading videos with lossless audio.

So it's more about what happens with the audio before it gets to YouTube. Someone uploads a video clip with 128kbps AAC, YouTube re-encodes it to Opus160, someone downloads it as 160kbps MP3, makes a lyrics video and whatever tool they used makes it into 96kbps Vorbis, it gets put on YouTube, Opus160 again, you download it as whatever bitrate MP3 again and it sounds like shit.

Just an example, there may be way more lossy re-encode generations going on.
It's more about the generations rather than YouTube.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I dunno', I hear a distinct difference between any YouTube video and the CD, even ones posted by the artists or labels directly.

Though I do not pay for YouTube premium and never will, so maybe it's better if you pay the beast.

Either way, fuck the beast. ... and not in a good way.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

i believe the youtube to mp3 thing isabout downloading it using yt-dlp or something, not yt premium downloads

This is horseshit, Opus 130k stereo is perceptually lossless according to many public listening tests. All responsibility for poor quality rests on the uploader and sometimes on idiotic downloaders that still dare to shit out MP3 in the year 2024.

I'm like an anti-audiophile in how little I usually care. I don't use high quality equipment most of the time anyhow, so it doesn't bother me at this point.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I tend to buy cheapest earbuds possible since I tend to destroy them fast. Bought some better ones recently, since I had a gift card from a contest and what do you know! My phone's headphone jack died... =/

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago (6 children)

There are two Japanese bands that I can only listen to on Youtube, so I have to listen to them offline at 129kbs. ;_;

Do you think I own a laptop capable of reading a CD like some sort of caveman?

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I'm out here advocating for physical media in 2024, so it's safe to assume that my tech has not advanced much beyond smashing rocks together and yelling at the moon.

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

USB DVD drives are super cheap.

Just saying.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

The problem is I have one somewhere so I don't want to buy I new one but I also don't want to find the one I own

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 months ago

I don't think I've ever witnessed a meme this fresh

[–] Iloveyurianime@ani.social 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And the turkish athelete won a silver mdeal in the shooting competition imagine the power if he had the same gear as the other atheletes

[–] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 8 points 3 months ago

It would definitely be over 9000!

[–] Caesium@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Im currently a spoofy premium gal, but I'm moving to downloading my music. It's just gonna take a lot of time. And a lot of money because I do want to support the artists I love

[–] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Anybody have clips of him actually shooting? All i see is news reporters with stills of Yusuf online.
