Sylvartas,

My guess is that it’s because it’s completely unnecessary and thus instantly makes the whole text 50% more unhinged

Sylvartas,

How recent is that trend ? Because I definitely agree that modern movies’ mixing usually sucks ass for a non-theater setup, but I recently watched some 70’s James bond movie and it was actually much worse than what I’m used to. Like, if I setup the TV volume so the gunshots/explosion and the musics didn’t blow up my eardrums, dialogues were basically unintelligible 80% of the time

Sylvartas,

Yeah and if you went to France with that attitude, I bet you didn’t have a particularly bad time. (Paris is a little more complicated though, parisians have zero patience, especially with tourists, which does include french tourists)

Sylvartas,

Americans

Honestly, after a few years of working with juniors (and being one myself before that), I have to disagree with the last part. Sure, it’s fine for solo projects but people’s programming skills can vary heavily. I know people who will pull the wildest C++ compile time tricks you’ve ever seen, but a pointer to a pointer would somehow break their brain.

Sylvartas, (edited )

In a vacuum, sure. On a real project of substantial size with more than one programmer, I’m afraid it quickly becomes a “cannot”

Sylvartas,

I have not used it for a long time but it’s really easy to fuck the install and potentially your entire system, depending on the fuckup(s).

As a matter of fact, that is exactly why I used it the first time : since it’s a nice lightweight distro and it has some interesting gotchas regarding installation, our sysadmin teacher had us all install it and set it up before we could actually use our distro of choice

Sylvartas,

Yeah the correct term would be “commutative” as someone already pointed out. Meaning the order doesn’t matter when considering multiple percentages. E.g 50% of 73% of something is the same as 73% of 50% of that same thing

I feel like in the last few years, Japanese publishers have been atoning for a lot of their early-2000’s sins (except Square Enix and Konami who seem to have doubled down)

Sylvartas,

It’s true that they’re less “facepalm-inducing” under the smarter videos, but any entertainment video with wide enough appeal is gonna be littered with comments that will make you feel like you’re having a stroke while reading them. It usually gets worse if the channel is more family friendly, I assume because the YouTube algorithm serves it to kids a lot more.

Sylvartas,

Idk I just went to a channel that I know for a fact only allows you to purchase the videos if you’re watching from France, but I was able to watch all the videos for free because they are not restricted outside of France. I think it’s supposed to work automatically if your piped instance has access to instances that are hosted in countries where the videos are unrestricted

So in your case it should work if you go through an instance that is hosted in the UK
