I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that Twitter and Reddit are both being dismantled a year before the 2024 US election. And that Twitter’s demise was funded by Saudi Arabia.

Musk does seem to relish his chance to play the troll on a global stage, but that’s more of a side perk than the central reason for all of this.

Try to find out as much as you can about what the job/career is actually like, ask people who are in that field, if you can try to get some experience as an intern.

The worst thing you can do is focus on a major without considering what the actual work will be like once you graduate. Even if you love studying a topic, the actual work may be much less fun in practice.

Try to get some part-time experience of your own as you can, even at sub-entry level/intern levels it should help you know better what kinds of jobs you would enjoy full time. It’s often hard to envision a job without having some exposure to the field.

Yeah, unfortunately while it’s very simple to set up compressor levels in a DAW or even in feature-rich players like VLC, I haven’t come across any easy way to blanket apply one to your computer’s output without weirdly looping it through something like Ableton.

It seems like it should be so simple to have in Windows sound settings, but it’s never been an option. Sometimes there’s a toggle for ā€œnormalizationā€, but that gives you no control at all. You at least should be able to set compression ratio, lower threshold (in dB), and upper threshold (in dB).

You don’t need to delete the app, but you do need to re-log in to be able to vote or comment (presumably because of the hack yesterday).

Go to accounts tab, and delete your account (from the list of logged in accounts) and then log back in. You may need to ā€œadd itā€ a second time before you can delete it.

I think part of that is how popular merchandising like funko pops have become in recent years, Futurama was many years ago at this point.

Second reason is that despite its longevity in the internet consciousness, it’s easy to forget Futurama was fairly unpopular when it was originally airing.

The origin of the label ā€˜Tankies’ is from British communists supporting the USSR’s party line and specifically to defend the use of tanks to suppress dissent in the Hungarian revolution of 1956.

It’s a self-applied label and it’s in fact very explicitly and by definition Pro-Russian propaganda and more recently Pro-Chinese as well.

Is this a phone screenshot of a photo of a crt monitor? It’s practically fossilized.
