Soulseek is a simple peer-to-peer sharing network. You can share directories and see other users shared directories when they are online. It can be a bit flaky but is a useful tool.

yt-dlp downloads from youtube will be in youtube quality, so ~128kbps VBR opus most of the time. Sometimes ~256kbps VBR if you have Premium. I still find it handy for hard to find recordings and new albums etc that have not been shared in flac yet.

Wait, that game is still playable online? in c/[email protected]

It's been on steep discount often, as recently as May 1st. Just gotta wait for the sale, it'll go on again. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/titanfall-2-ultimate-edition/history/

Having seen the tonal shift in the gameplay preview I'd actually expect better writing, or at least more bearable writing. Gameplay looked more fine tuned but mostly the same as 3.

Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?

April was the most intense month yet for Canadians' US-travel boycott in c/buycanadian

[–] IronKrill 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Friendly note that both your uses of "than" should be "then". "Then" indicates the sequence of events, as in I went to the coffee shop and then the mall. "Than" is used for comparison, as in apples are better than oranges.

Canadians could stay visa-free longer in U.S. under proposed bill in c/canada

I'm sure they'd be happy to let me stay longer as long as I'm rotting in a prison while providing slave labour

Does TERF give a damn about Trans men going to Men Restrooms? in c/[email protected]

[–] IronKrill 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As far as I can tell, no. No one ever seems to care. I can only assume it's because they view men as the "dominant" sex and women as "weak".

Is a $1,300 motherboard worth the expense? I tested MSI’s Z890 Godlike in c/pcgaming

[–] IronKrill 46 points 1 month ago (4 children)

If I was paying $1300 for a motherboard, I definitely would not be getting the Intel version this generation.

Is there a Google Timeline alternative with feature parity? (self.nostupidquestions)

I use the location tracking of Google Maps/Google Timeline constantly for work, and it's exceedingly helpful to know when I was at certain cities, buildings, etcetera. Of course, this means I'm basically signing my soul away to Google. But I can't really find any alternative location tracking apps, even though I would have thought there would be lots available. Are there any good alternatives out there?

The closest I found was Owntracks, but it doesn't work for me for a couple of reasons. Primarily, it doesn't tell me the places I've been, only the latitude/longitude. That isn't helpful. I want to know I was at X or Y convenience store and when my last visit was. Secondly of course, the interface was extremely lacking and I didn't like that it was split across two websites and an app. Why even have a map in the Android app if it doesn't show my location data??

Is there any real benefit to getting mentally diagnosed? (self.nostupidquestions)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by IronKrill to c/nostupidquestions

Title, basically. I know I have issues, but I couldn't say if it's depression, ADD, or just general problems. Is the only reason to have a diagnosis so you know what to work on, or are there other benefits such as easier access to therapy?

My question is meant specifically for Canada, but feel free to chip in from other countries. :)

According to the home owner:

We live on a 90* corner intersection with a major street and this guy flew around it at probably 40-50mph. Hit my neighbors car so hard it ended up in their yard facing the other way. Both cars totaled, driver ran off on foot. 11 AM on a Sunday morning.

And the aftermath:
