Like I said, I’m not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, so I don’t know if there was more to the outrage than just “it’s an Israeli company”. I’m not currently in the market for a prusa printer, so I’m not particularly invested in their politics, just speaking on things that I have seen in this community

There’s a tag people use

I’m far from the most knowledgeable on the subject, but I remember hearing something about one of their prospective printers not being listed as open source, and that they partnered with some Israeli company.

You may be underestimating Granny Gertrude’s powers. She will change a setting in a menu you didn’t even know existed. /s

In my opinion, most modern movies and the like sound perfectly fine, like you said, when in a theater setting. I have a pretty decent home audio setup, and I enjoy going out to the movies for ones that I think will be fun or interesting. I usually do not have much of a problem hearing dialogue (well, I’m hard at hearing, so at least not more issues than I have hearing real world dialogue) and the only times things seem uncomfortably loud is when it seems to be done artistically.

The problem comes from the fact that most people don’t have a “theater setting” at home, and since media is premixed for theatre setups with no way to adjust it, you’re left with the worst of both worlds. I think that, rather than passing the buck onto the inexperienced user who might not know how or want to fiddle with audio track settings, studios need to start taking people’s actual equipment into consideration when putting out home releases. Most media players give you the option for surround and stereo, but that does not help when the original media file has bad audio mixing from the get-go. If the actual audio tracks were mixed for “theatre” and “home”, I think we’d be in a much better place.

How loud specific things are in comparison to other sounds is one of the things that a director dictates to set the mood for their movie. We all agree that it’s gone a bit far with most things nowadays, but having something be piercingly loud or eerily quiet can be used really well, and if everyone from Tommy Teenager to Granny Gertrude can alter these settings with a TV remote and zero knowledge on maybe what they’re even doing (“I thought I was changing the volume and now the people don’t talk anymore!”) it would greatly diminish the director’s ability to control that.

Mate I’m no fan of Apple but half the stuff you said is completely subjective or based off 2012 era memes. How do you define “overpriced” or “underperforming”? In terms of price, the hardware in their machines is usually pretty good, build quality has always been great. You’ll have to elaborate on “underperforming” as I’m not really sure what you’re saying with this.

Do something about it then. Something something, 9-5.

You’re literally doing the same thing they are.

You don’t always need to replace the part with something the manufacturer offers as a replacement. Something like a screen board might be hard/ impossible to find an alternative for, but things like buttons or sensors inside of mice are rarely something made specifically by the mouse manufacturer. They can almost always be replaced by an equivalent generic part. Hell, my 3D printer motherboard took a shit on me a couple years ago, and I bought an aftermarket board and installed 3rd party firmware on it to get it up and running again.

Like you said it’d be great if it were just easy for everyone to do these things, but as devices get more advanced they’re gonna require more advanced knowledge to work on, and not everyone has the time, interest, or resources to learn how to diagnose and repair stuff.

They have a specific aesthetic in mind it seems.

In the shitpost community no less!

I was joking at the point that a 6’1" 180lb+ guy, much like the OP implies, would not be able to be physically shoved into a locker.

Ah yes, wrestling, the sport known for it’s small, skinny athletes

… No? My first thought when I read the title of the article was, “well obviously he can’t control the weather.”

But rather than immediately saying “Republicans bad” and moving on, the second thought occurs, “maybe they’re complaining about the logistics side of things, like snow plows and clearing teams?” which would be a valid complaint.

Finally, instead of simply accepting the followup thought, we read the article, and see that they are in fact complaining about the man not controlling the weather.

Just saw he got stabbed.

Oh no.

Anyways

“being a pedophile” is somehow putting it lightly. He was raping actual toddlers infants.

People on Lemmy: I don’t understand your brain, you some kinda bootlicker?

Yup. I’d log in, scroll for maybe 10-15 posts before I saw the first one from yesterday, play some Wild Ones, and that was that.

I’m trying a new system of DM’ing in-person DnD games where I’ve got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.

It works well enough, but I have to remember to “give them the cursor back” when I’m done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can’t find it, haha

It is one of my favorite quotes from the entire series. Never before has a man painted a picture of himself as vivid as Jamie did when he delivered this line.
