Back in the 90s when roller blading was popular, I knew some guys who would enter a hospital as guests and then take the elevator to the basement to speed skate the miles of perfect dry slick concrete corridors.

Lol.That Toyota looks like somebody chopped the nose of a regular soccer mom van and replaced it with a Borg cube.

If the the next president is a democrat he/she ought to leave it be as a pillar of shame and run the office from somewhere else.

Leave the clean up for the next republican, so they can face their selfmade turd themselves.

Funny how we consider them worn out when the whiteys get too loose or the boxers get too tight.

Weird to announce it in advance. Just fucking do it.

Also, if you're serious, don't get too close to any windows during the weekend.

It's all about appearance. Studio equipment is expensive, so it looks more professional.

Large diaphragm condenser microphones are really good at getting a lot of detail in the sound from everything that happens in the room. They sound really great, more crisp and detailed than dynamic microphones.

However.... Is that really what you want or need to capture people talking? That's rhetorical. It's not.

The best way to record a voice is actually to have a microphone near the mouth to get the closest you can get to the source of the sound. A smaller directional microphone can also be directed straight at the mouth so it doesn't capture all kinds of noise from around the room.

A headset would make the most sense from an audio perspective, but then you look like a call center employee instead of a cOnTent CreatOr.

Driving long distances without pause. Fucking psycho.

Should be playing a mix tape of fart sounds instead of music.

Yeah. Video is actually a shitty format. It costs something to make, host and serve.

More often than not it would be easier to write a forum post in a few kilobytes describing the worthwhile content.

I already did it on floppies.

I also attempted to program the entire AD&D rules as an Amiga Basic program. It ran well for a start, but then I noticed that the random generator always returned the same dice rolls. Turned out that the RAM was used up, so it couldn't store the random value anywhere. The program was fine otherwise. Just out of ram.

Anyway, I miss the ingenuity of having too little space, more than I am impressed with the possibilities of having too much.

People simply did more with less. I want that to return. The bloat is obscene, and hopefully AI is going to break the balloon of it. Nobody really needs several gigabytes of code to run a 2 line program.

• PeerTube is an alternative to YouTube.

Yeah, it's just not. The disgusting monitizing on YouTube is what makes content creators post there.

There is very good content on PeerTube, but I can't fucking find it, and when I do, it's not exclusive, so I might as well watch it on YouTube where the creator gets paid and where it's easier to happen upon with a regular search and not having to build a feed from various more or less federated sources. As much as I want to, it's simply too difficult to use.

I really really want an alternative to YouTube, but I think this one needs a complete rethinking of what the service is supposed to do and how it can be done. Not from a developer point of view, but building from the user experience.

Has anyone ever used the last byte on any hard disc in a successful manner?

I mean not by just putting a too large file there, but something that actually utilized that final byte and having the machine still run flawlessly?
