Last time someone mentioned these on Lemmy I got one.

It “crashed” according to Synology in about a week. Woke me up in the middle of the night with the Synology beeping.

I don’t think the “small dick” part needs to be thrown in. Seems counter productive.

I hope it pans out!

The last time I heard about someone being excited about new mechanics/paradigms in gaming it was Ken Levine. And then he disappeared for a decade. “narrative Legos” were the big idea.

He’s back, with Judas. We’ll see if he managed to invent new mechanics or not.

In the case of Judas tho, I’ll just be happy if it’s a good story and spectacle driven game like Bioshock Infinite.

Preview is an app on macOS for viewing and editing images and PDFs.

According to the Audacity manual it supports MP3. But you need to install additional software for AAC (M4A).

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/importing_audio.html

So it’s strange that you are struggling with this. It seems something more is going on here…

Also, just in case it was confusing: M4A is just a file extension used to indicate AAC audio in an MP4 container.

That’s a bummer that AudioTimeliner is struggling with MP3 files. Small independent apps like this usually depend on outside libraries to play back audio. And looking at the version history, it looks like the author has had to make multiple updates to fix playback support over the years.

I see that AudioTimeliner is niche software that has been around for about 22 years, and it’s cross platform. It seems normal to me that it would be picky. Audacity on the other hand, something weird is going on.

I work in higher education, so I understand how relying on niche software like AudioTimeliner goes. I’m sympathetic.

But there is a lack of precision in what you are describing, and your symptoms are directly counter to the Audacity documentation.

Both of those sound like recycled mechanics.

Preview does not play MP3 or AAC.

And what’s a program that’s not accepting of MP3 files that generally works with audio?

You seem to be a bit confused.

For point one: Not everyone is into boosting or retweeting. Some actually find it a bit obnoxious.

Some people I might enjoy finding to follow, friends, community members, etc, might not be ones to post anything boost worthy.

For the other points, I assume these are just artifacts of Mastodon’s federated nature? Not sure exactly.

These sorts of platforms are not designed like a Facebook profile.

What’s a non-key battleground state?

Yeah, I hear that’s a thing now. People these days.

They’re rioting at a college level!

Why do the hookers get to decide it’s a brothel?

I see.

“Incel” and the archetype seem to be newer. And the phenomenon much larger in recent times. What was it labeled in the time before that? My gut instinct says it’s indistinct like many things were. Similar to having names for mental disorders now that we didn’t have back then. So there would have been lots of various labels for that type of guy. Never really coalescing until “incel” was popularized.

You take a broader and broader view of the group as our conversation goes on. I’ve been looking at the more recent phenomenon. And I’ve been focused on a group just of men/boys who are at a point in their lives before they are snatched by the incel ideology.

It’s a dreadful situation.

Well, we both had different groups in mind with the label then.

I really am talking about the subset that were taken down the pipeline and who were not shit heads before that.

It’s definitely true that there is a whole group of weak shit heads who decide on this world view with little outside influence. The hopeful side of me wants to perceive this group as smaller than the group that was truly taken advantage of.

Shitty behavior is shitty behavior. Don’t get me wrong, I hate this gamergate incel shit.

Edit: I realize I should clarify more? Maybe? My perception of gamergate was that a bunch of people were swept up by it and “activated” so to speak. Maybe that’s naïve. People with immature world views.

Ok, fair enough. I’m conceptualizing these people as they were before they are taken advantage of.

The internet was a mistake.

All roads lead back to gamergate. It’s really fucked up.

Also, phrasing it as “weak men” makes you sound like you’re a bit on their side. You’re using their qualitative language. “Lonely men” might work better.

If other federated services gain dominance, they will go the same route. And due to the same pressures. (Spam, bad actors, misbehaving servers, etc)

We already see defederation drama.

Hypernormalisation

His early videos, clips I’ve seen in videos about him, show he’s a weird sociopath.
