  • The thing about marriage is that anybody can do it. You don’t have to love somebody to marry them. It isn’t special. There’s no test you have to take together or qualifications you have to meet.

    So yeah - he’s angry, and lonely, and he’s also married, but none of those things are related to each other.

    Sounds like he needs therapy, but in our society men aren’t encouraged to share emotions if it doesn’t perpetuate an image of strength. So he’s expressing his emotions in a “socially acceptable” way: anger. Which is probably what also got him into these backwards ideas about his political ideology as well.

  • Google’s own Shaka sdk (video playback with ads) gives ad markers in the initial video manifest so that they can be marked on the timeline, so hopefully it’ll be trivial. Usually (but not always) with SSAI, the ads are spliced into the stream just before being sent to the client. That way if a user has just recently watched an ad pod, the server can choose to ignore that marker for a better UX in hopes that they don’t bounce if ads are too frequent.

  • Sure. Obviously it’s more complex than that, but it helps illustrate where the math came from in the parent comment. I don’t know why Tidal pays more, but I’m hypothesizing its because most of their “co-owners” of Tidal are themselves, artists/musicians, which IMO is significantly better than the out of touch folks running Spotify.

  • Think of it not in terms of revenue percentages, but by payouts per song stream:

    Service Payout/song Plays to make $1
    Tidal Music$0.0128478
    Apple Music$0.008125
    Amazon Music$0.00402249
    Spotify$0.00318314
    YouTube Music$0.002500
    Pandora$0.00133752
    Deezer$0.0011909

    So song for song, Apple is paying 2.5x what Spotify is (.008/.00318), and Tidal is paying out a whopping 4x what Spotify pays.

  • I’ve been using deemix, and for the most part it’s been pretty seamless. Stuff direct downloads instantly, but it’s all in 128kbps now unfortunately. Then I have lidarr monitor everything for a lossless version.

  • You should check out Plexamp while you bridge the gap. It has tidal support built in, and you can self-host your own collection as you build it up. Then when you’re done with tidal, you don’t have to learn or download a new app.

  • I hope The Satanic Temple comes in and forces a display of their tenets in every single classroom as well. The GOP is such a disgrace. It’s the first amendment FFS; and I know they’ve read it because they’re all crazy about the second one and won’t shut up about it.

  • I’ve been using an ultrawide since 2017 and I have no desire to go back. If anything I want to get an even wider monitor next time. My advice is to make sure that you don’t get a 1080p ultrawide. The 1440p versions are well worth the price difference. Had a 34” 2560x1080 monitor at work one time and it felt really claustrophobic compared to the 34” 3440x1440 I had at home.

    Drawing of Medea from The Met in NY

    After an 1865 Sculpture by William Wetmore Story.

    In the ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, Medea was the sorceress who assisted Jason in obtaining the Golden Fleece and later became his wife. When he abandoned her, Medea murdered their two children and planned the death of his new love, Creusa. To nineteenth-century theater audiences, Medea was a sympathetic character forced to choose between relinquishing her children and protecting them by destroying them herself. Medea clenches her left hand in an attitude of smoldering tension, while tightly clutching the murder weapon, a dagger, in the other. Story deemphasized Medea's active revenge, leaving to the viewer's imagination the infanticide to come.
