It's funny that this "slightly different viewpoint" when pressed for details basically always ends up being hardcore racism, homophobia or other great things.

No. Not everyone deserves a seat at the same table because some people just want to take a dump on the table and laugh.

T_D was on Reddit a long time, what has been gained by that? Unabashed racism on the front page and nothing else. If that's the sort of thing you want to fight for, good, then I'm going to fight against that.

Nah that's just shitty bait.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

It's that simple. These people aren't rational or looking to argue in good faith, they are hateful fools looking to destroy and undermine a tolerant society. This isn't about "all sides of the argument", that's just a shitty paeudoargument to give Nazis a voice they don't deserve.

Most DAPs are just so, so garbage.

Slow, crashy, dim screen, only support for outdated standards, no latest Bluetooth, no support for big SD cards, low output power, mediocre battery life, high noise floor, the list goes on.

Even the ones that cost hundreds are super slow and come with like Android 7. Maybe Android 10. I whish I was joking. And many don't have all the features any basic $150 phone would have. And they feel worse to use than a $150 phone.

A lot don't really have the power to drive beefier headphones. And a lot have a high noise floor. So basically, they only work with high impedance high sensitivity headphones. Just pure trash.

A DAP should be a useful replacement for my phone and not require a dongle. Sadly, that seems to be a very high bar to meet.

It tends to be difficult to get good prices on quantities suitable for DIY projects locally, so AliExpress is your friend.

All cables are snake oil in the sense that the "quality" doesn't matter. Resistance can still change the sound, but cable length and thickness play by far the biggest role here, the difference usually isn't big, and not every headphone is impacted. The guy over at diyaudioheaven actually measures frequency response changes with different source impedances and for most headphones it's either nothing or an extremely minor change in bass response.

And yeah, the independent ground is the important element that makes balanced cables different.

We've seen this spiel a few times, companies want to move to the cloud and then don't because it's ridiculous and plenty of things are just fine on local machines.

I don't lend this any more credence than all the "we'll all be gaming in the cloud in 10 years" crap when stuff like GeForce Now was popping up.

Well usually the people who get mad about it are the exact same people who want to participate in these communities. "Free speech" to them just means being a racist shithead on the internet without consequences and there is no reason that should be tolerated. Quite the opposite, we should strive to make these people feel as unwelcome as possible.

Why wait until it becomes a problem? The_Donald literally started as a joke brought over from 4chan. It grew and over time it basically went from "too small to do something about it" to "too big to do something about it" (to Reddit admins at least). Why even give these people a platform? We don't have any reason to give them space to grow.

If you step in shit everywhere you go, look under your own shoe.

Well it doesn't have to look like that, people can openly discuss what they want to do as a community, deal with it snowflake.

If you're getting downvoted everywhere you go, maybe your opinions are just shit.

Der Typ dreht doch gerade völlig am Rad. Sagen das es einem egal ist und tatsächlich egal sein sind zwei paar Schuhe.

Taten sagen immer mehr als Worte und z.B. mods rausschmeißen weil sie nicht spuren zeigt meiner Meinung nach schon das Spez der Arsch auf Grundeis geht. Ganz zu schweigen von den Interviews.

Ne, der will nur so hart wie möglich vermitteln das es kein Problem ist und die Proteste nichts bringen weil jeder der das glaubt ihm in die Karten spielt.

Soll nicht bedeuten das der Protest auf jeden Fall Erfolg hat, aber wie er handelt zeigt eindeutig das es sehr wohl ein Problem ist. Cool bleiben sieht anders aus.
