I have news for you then! They’re already doing it

Cursive big f: “integration”, which can be interpreted in two ways. One is “area under the curve” for some part of the curve. Other is “average value of a part of the curve multiplied by the size of that part of the curve”. Curve being the function, the graph, f(x), however you wanna call it.

Normal d: “differentiation” (from difference), infinitely small change. Usually used in ratios: df/dx means how much does f(x) change relative to x when you change x a little bit.

Cursive d: “partial”, same as normal d but used when working with higher dimensional data like 3D. Can also mean “boundary” of something. Example: boundary of a volume in 3D, like wrapping paper around a box. Or, boundary of such wrapping paper itself, if it’s not perfectly connecting.

Omega: just a Greek letter used as a variable, in this case there’s a history of it being used as a sort of “density” variable in the field of differential geometry. The college row in the meme is kind of translating the high school row from a function to a 3D volume.

Only one of them gets to make the decision to fire the other

someone better

Someone who can milk their playerbase better. Lootboxes and other “surprise mechanics” (addictive gambling), battle passes, games as a service

I want installers to die, portable is the future

Run a transcoder in “the cloud” (another PC in the room) and then it’s possible

I prefer dns.adguard.com so you get pretty decent dns-level adblock too

TikTok is not normal social media.

That eats into their profits for their other/new games

Tidal, Qobuz, NetEase Cloud Music, Deezer, Apple Music

Everything you mentioned is garbage

Valve actually gives a shit about its consumers, and is working hard on making its OS competitive. ASUS just dumps specs on the market and then abandons it.

See what i mean? I deleted this!

Yeah I can see it on Sync, through lemmy.ml home instance.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I bought a AAA game.

Going with her to the nine hells is her “good” ending.

Letting her explode is her bad ending.

If you learn how an encoder works you can compress the FLAC into whatever format you prefer yourself. I highly recommend 256kbps AAC using Apple’s encoder (specifically that encoder, other AAC encoders are much worse) but you can also do VBR MP3 in any bitrate you want. Plus, if you keep the FLACs in archive, you can re-compress them later to a better format if one is developed.

YouTube is absolutely unacceptable quality. The difference is clearly audible even on $5 earbuds. I feel sorry for your ears if you don’t hear the difference, but the vast majority of those who care enough to download music will be able to tell the difference.

I personally pay for Deezer HiFi and save the FLACs locally. Friends mostly do the same with Tidal, but both work well for this purpose.

If you want to find FLACs without paying for a service you can check out rutracker. It has torrents for discographies from a lot of famous artists. Alternatively, you could find a stolen account for one of the previously mentioned services, but that goes too far for my morals because you’re hurting a normal person with a hacked account.
