    One, I think people generally I have an innate need to produce something. We I don’t want to just sit around and entertain ourselves myself, we I want to contribute. Two, I think the 40 hour work week isn’t quite the right balance for me. Maybe 30 would be better for me.

    It’s good to learn from experiences, but it’s not good to assume that your experience is everyone’s experience.


  • I didn’t mind your opinion, but now I have to downvote anyway. An opinion this uninformed doesn’t have any right to exist. Minecraft was the sole reason for the current generation of Java devs, it’s literally the Statue of Liberty of the United Javates, the first thing those poor huddled masses saw before landing in the New World.







  • I am here for one reason and one reason alone: source anime is Watamote, episode 12 @18:36

    Tomoko tries to approach a girl, but the wind confuses her and she runs away in embarrassment, even though the girl was really friendly and would have liked to talk to her.

    In the meme, this scene is used to parallel the feeling of an external system blocking an operation that both participants would agree to.

    A similar feeling could be memed with the “myth of consensual sex” format.




  • I don’t know what the difference is between downloading and sharing libraries, but check out Soulseek. It’s a little file-sharing program that lets others download directly from your music folder and vice versa. When I couldn’t find an album on any torrent tracker, some hero on Soulseek had it. The main drawback compared to torrents is that you’re limited to the upload speed of this one person, you can’t connect to a dozen people with the same files and combine their power.


  • Spotify is providing a much better service than radio and it needs the internet to function, but it also isn’t as cheap as a radio broadcast. Don’t judge the entire service by the free plan, which probably shouldn’t have existed in the first place. But that’s how most services attract their users these days, just burn money until you lock in enough people to start monetizing.

    I’m on a family plan with a few others and it costs a few euros a month for each of us. Lets you download music too, so cell service isn’t even required. I’ve never had an ad; people complain about sponsored recommendations, but Spotify is “pushing” tiny Japanese indie bands with less than 500 monthly listeners on me. All my Daily Mixes are similar deep cuts. I find it hard to believe anyone is sponsoring those and no way radio would ever have played any of these, unless it’s a short-distance pirate broadcaster in the home town of these indie bands.



  • That’s obviously way better than any TTS before it, but I still wouldn’t want to listen to it for more than a few minutes. In these two sentences I can already hear some of the “AI quirks” and the longer you listen, the more you start to notice them.
    I listen to a lot of AI celeb impersonations and they all sound like the same machine with different voice synthesizers. There’s something about the prosody that gives it away, every sentence has the same generic pattern.
    Humans are generally more creative, or more monotonous, but AI is in a weird inbetween space where it’s never interested and never bored, always soulless.
