Thanks, it’s always great to hear the details from some guy who knows his shit

In my experience, it’s still pretty hit or miss. The smaller indie labels tend to get it right more than the big names.

I don’t think it’s actually a real term, but I kinda mean that it’s nostalgic to people who can’t really have nostalgia for it because they’re too young to have experienced it being the main music format.

Cassettes don’t sound too bad if you actually have good equipment, which most people nowadays don’t (because most can’t afford collector’s prices for decent decks). I was born in 97, vinyl records were long dead by then. Most people who get into vinyl nowadays actually grew up with iPods (hence the term “fake nostalgia”).

On a solid system, there’s a lot more fidelity in the bass on vinyl.

Eh… it’s pretty much all down to mastering, but vinyl records have a limited dynamic range compared to CDs which makes the bass more pronounced maybe? Not something I’ve noticed but I tend to prefer clear high end and mid range anyway.

Another one of those pointless articles… Cassettes have been on the rise for a couple of years now, and for the same reasons that vinyl has been making a comeback; mainly fake nostalgia and the yearning for true ownership in form of physical media.

As a vinyl snob, listening to music on that medium isn’t better. The quality is at best a little worse than what you get from a CD, it’s inconvenient, bloody expensive and it takes up space.

BUT you get to actually hold the music you love in your hands and listen to it more intently, because you’ve made the effort of putting on a record instead of just pressing play. I like that.

Edit: just realised I just made the same points the article made… oh well. I’ll just continue archiving my CD collection. Not (only) for posterity, but as a big middle finger to the RIAA.

I think they meant to say “invasive”, instead of “pervasive”

I actually like the rectangular design they had before

I’m actually glad I ordered the 2 Duo, not at all fond of this new design.

Yeah, nah. Probably not.

Happy cake day, though

At least we’d get the last laugh

Let them destroy each other, would be fun to watch

I considered paying canva for resume templates…

Then I asked Gemini to generate me a simple, readable, and ATS-Optimised template. Filled in my info, asked some mates to look over it and give me some tips and within like an hour and a half I had a great looking resume that I sent to a recruiter who I met by rapidfire sending out connection invites to recruiters that fit my criteria.

I’m on Tidal right now and currently considering the switch to Qobuz. There’s no official (or unofficial) Linux client which is kind of a bummer. Tidal at least has a half-decent unofficial one…

Yeah, I could just use the web player or strawberry but I just prefer having a dedicated app.

I’m sure this internal investigation will help find the culprit /s

I mean yeah but yeah nah. I’m all for blaming the meatbags who buy this shit for fun but there are still enough people who buy entry-level RAMs as work trucks (might even be a good choice for all I know).

Besides, if Stellantis is continuing to get away with it other brand might catch on… I can totally see VW or BMW pull this crap.

Mhh, apparently it doesn’t work in Germany. I only get errors.

Disgusted, as that’s the stronger feeling of the two

Can you do polka dots?

so who are they pleasing?

Companies. Germany tends to only care about German companies, to the point where they’ll save them with taxpayer money every time their shares drop .2%

I continue being disappointed by my home country
