The reason why I can't recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I'm trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn't figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they've fixed this?

A fellow alt texter!!! The blind community appreciates you. (I'm not blind, just an ally)

I have a pair of Senheiser HD6xx from Drop.com. It's basically a pair of HD600s with slightly cheaper plastic and bare bones packaging. They have the exact same drivers as the 600s. These cans have been famous for decades with good reason, as they give the perfect balance of low, mid, and high end.

They're a bit pricey at around $230, and you'll also need a great amplifier to power it. You can always go with a decent $99 desktop amp or you can shell out $300 on a high quality DAC+AMP. I have the Audient ID14, and everything sounds FANTASTIC. I can turn up the music super loud and still have head room.

TLDR; Drop.com Senheiser HD6xx with an Audient i14 to power them. Overkill for casual listening, perfect value for audiophiles.

Just use a cloudflare tunnel. It's free and can be used on pretty much any network that sends and receives data.

Refreshing sources will always be permanently engrained in my vision as if I was looking directly into the sun.

The release of the iPhone and iPod touch was such a special time for me. The jailbreaking scene was just getting started and it started my life long fascination with tinkering with technology.

This looks to be the beginning of a trend to pull out of Reddit, and I am excited to watch it crash and burn.

I just posted about this today in another thread. The ability for AI to be able to describe photos for people who are visually impaired is a total game changer. Most visually impaired people rely on people posting AltText or photo descriptions to become involved, but as most of us already know, most people don't think twice about it, including myself. I'm definitely trying to be better.

Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn't happened by this point, I don't see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

I think you're overthinking this. Twitter used to be a place where I could keep up with my friends. Now, it's a place filled with many forms of hate. Because of this, I no longer wish to use it, so I left.

I personally have no care in the world for what happens with Twitter. Why should I? It becomes overrun with bigots? So what?

Remaining on a platform filled with hate is an indicator that you're ok with that. I am not, so I left. end of story.

I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we'll know who's bringing what. I'll start

I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!

I believe there are pros and cons for both. Imgur is great because you truly don't have to think about disk space or bandwidth. Imgur is not great because they can delete your posts at any time without warning and leave holes on the interenet, especially if we're talking 5, 10 , 20 years from now.

Should I invest in a beefy server to store all of my photo needs without storage anixety? Or should I just rely on a larger company to handle it for me? I think I'm already answering my own question by writing this post out, but I'd love to hear from the self hosting community.

Anybody else excited for Super Mario Bros. Wonder? I think the animations look really slick and it's awesome to see 2d mario that doesn't look and play like a game that came out for the Nintendo DS in 2006.
