It’s true
  • real Halo fans waited yeeeaaarrs for that show to come out. i mean i remember being a little kid in middle school and thinking "i can't wait for the halo movie/show to finally come out". Fast forward years later, and i have a house, 2 kids, I'm married and the Halo show is finally out and it's garbage. i hate what happened to that franchise

  • Illinois cop charged with rape in his home
  • he's not making a rape joke, he's referring to the fact that prisoners tend to treat convicted rapists poorly, on top of the fact that he's a cop, that means he will not be treated well and probably will get mercilessly beaten by his fellow inmates on a daily basis.. he's not saying he'll get punished with rape, he will be punished in some other way by other inmates for being convicted of rape Sexual abusers of any type usually get their asses beat in jail and this is a known fact

  • Can anyone recommend a plant based milk that won’t turn my coffee into this?
  • You don't know what the word regular means. It does not mean acceptable or morally correct. It's synonyms include "standard", "usual", "typical" etc. It does not imply anything other than that. Dairy milk is the usual, typical, standard substance that is referred to as "milk" by 99.9% of the English speaking world.

  • Respect to anyone still managing a library of mp3s
  • No algorithmic suggestions and therefore, no curated daily taste playlists, no sorting your library by genre (at least not as granular and specific as Spotify unless you put in as much work as they do at tagging your music), finding new music manually takes at least 10x more effort and you're limited to the taste you already know you have. If you switch phones you're SOL unless you want to deal with the insanely slow transfer speeds of androids MTP or whatever apples slow ass transfer protocol is. Not to mention your library is limited by how much space you have. My 10,000+ song playlists on Spotify aren't gonna easily fit on anyone's device, and definitely not at the highest quality that Spotify can stream at. Your only hope of getting even a comparable experience is to be tech savvy and patient enough to set up a home streaming server, manually tag all your music, and find an audio app with an interface/features that you like that also supports streaming. Oh and then your home computer needs to be on all the time, and your Internet has to be great, and you must not care about your energy bill that much, and ... I'm just gonna stop. Locally stored music is just not anywhere near as good. It's lame and tedious and nearly pointless. At most, I'd say keep a couple albums you like with high quality FLACs but that's it. You're waisting your time not getting Spotify premium or Apple Plus or whatever the heck

    Oh and this is coming from 20+ years of pirating media. Limewire used to be the best, but now it's firmly Spotify etc.

  • Lemmy active users down, comments steady and posts up
  • Reddit got worse and worse and worse and worse over the years. I was there since 2012 and I watched it steadily get filled with more and more toxic uninteresting idiots. I used to be able to have an actual discussion with other adults and now it feels like "summer Reddit" never ever ended. This place feels like old Reddit to me

  • Question about Proton
  • If you're doing it for a friend make sure you ASK if they want Linux, don't force it on them man that's not cool. Most normies just want to use Windows for the compatibility and ease of use (call it handholding and restrictive all you want).

  • What alternate Youtube frontends are there? And which ones do you recommend?
  • Dude it's basically nothing. Mp3s have been/could be considered small for like 10+ years. It's much larger than I think it should be but it's not like it's an unreasonable space hog. File sizes have been inflating steadily for years as internet speeds increase worldwide

  • those ppl...
  • I quit Reddit 2 years ago due to the content becoming more and more toxic (maybe it was always toxic) and I'm just so dang happy that my favorite 3rd party Reddit apps have a Lemmy client. I'm using Sync and it's like coming home. Functionally identical experience but with a cooler community.
