  • JK Rowling dismisses Emma Watson as 'ignorant' over trans rights row

    Jump

  • I guess my point is purity testing among the devout is less important than building a mainstream boycott movement.

    That's my attitude too. I'm just trying to see how other people are thinking about it too, y'know? I tend to be deeply pragmatic and wouldn't want to alienate any of my friends or allies, but I can definitely understand why some might be tempted to be less practical and more devout, as you put it.

  • Recommendations for audio production software?

  • Audio Engineer here.

    You want Reaper. It's a $60 program but you can keep it in trial mode for as long as you want till you've got the money. Reaper has lots of tutorials available on YouTube and can use industry-standard VST plugins, plus it has enough plugins bundled in to get you started.

  • Yes, hardware transcoding = using hardware acceleration for decoding/re-encoding the video files. CPUs do it pretty slowly (or they use a ton of electricity if they're fast enough to do it quickly) but the special decoder/encoder chips on GPUs (including integrated graphics GPUs) can handle that sort of task no sweat in most cases as long as you've got it preperly configured.

  • I'm sorry, could you spell out what you actually mean?

    Because if you think I'm gonna become a shitty transphobic person because of one piece of problematic media, I can assure you I won't. I grew up in the 90s and 00s. If transphobia was gonna get me through media, it would have by now.

  • In your opinion, would pirating the show and not talking about it to my friends count as supporting it?

  • [Help] Media Server + *arr stack: Follow TRaSH guides or my own setup?

    Jump

  • Oh, it's not hardlinks if you're going from one drive to another, it just falls back to copying instead

  • [Help] Media Server + *arr stack: Follow TRaSH guides or my own setup?

    Jump

  • TRaSH guides don't actually force you into using one filesystem. I have Sonarr setup using the guide and it uses 2 separate drives just fine.

    One thing I would note is that because of the emphasis on quality above all else, following the guides strictly would fill up your drives fairly quickly. If you were to re-prioritize the config to emphasize small file size, you could probably fit 3-4x as much content on there.

  • A natural leader is someone who is seen by others as a leader. It is not the same thing as a good leader.

    Jump

  • Bad can mean evil or it can mean incompetent. People don't love incompetent leaders, but they do love evil ones. If a leader isn't evil but they are seen as incompetent, people often hate them.

  • If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest?

    Jump

  • Much like IQ, once you're more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, there's no statistically meaningful way to measure additional queerness.

    Jump

  • People don't love bad leaders, they love abusive leaders. Like the more pain they suffer for a leader, the more they need to love that leader for their suffering to make sense to themselves. Abusive leaders exploit that loophole of human psychology. It's why cults form all the time and why people in cults are often forced to go door to door just to face the rejection that non-cultists give them. The rejection from outsiders makes them cling to the cult harder.

  • Index fund. Just stuff it in an index fund with a Roth IRA if you don't have any debt to pay off. Ignore it for as long as you can and treat it as your emergency "get out of jail free card" for when life sucker punches you later on. It happens to everyone, so having this in savings for maybe decades first is gonna be worth it.

  • Back To The Future was the first one I played as it came out. Love the Walking Dead series. Need more adaptations of the comics rather than the show.

  • Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

    Jump

  • Sure, that's true. I was a year 1 backer, just after the initial Kickstarter ended, so I guess to me that part of the context kind of spoke for itself. Thanks for highlighting it, I honestly do appreciate it.

  • The bigger context of that quote is basically that they're heads down and preparing for crunch. The person who said, "I don't know if we're going to make it" also said "but we're doing everything we can to make it happen" (this is my paraphrase, I don't know if I got the exact wording)

  • Many of the younger generations of folks don't know what it's like to watch TV series out of order by virtue of channel surfing on live TV and grabbing random episodes here and there

  • It's a mildly interactive art piece with an overarching plot if you care to dig, and mindless entertainment if not.
