Idiot is a very strong word to describe this. For a place so typically welcoming of neurodivergence this feels really dissonant in the grand scheme of things.

I get major ick vibes from this particular take on the situation.

I wish that was my life.

I’m all for representing data via audio, but why did they choose to use completely unrelated sounds for this? Surely something like sine or sawtooth waves alone would have been better to represent this data and still would have been very interesting.

IMO, this audio file is fundamentally useless even as a novelty.

Tell that to the GuitarTubers whose audio get squashed to oblivion.

I can literally hear pumping clear as day in response to loud moments. It absolutely is doing dynamic range compression.

Its so obvious that I realized I was logged out of my Youtube account after a browser update and had to disable it again.

Turn off “Stable Volume” in Youtube’s video settings to disable dynamic range compression.

This is a must if you listen to music on Youtube.

Didn’t the whole “unveil” fail spectacularly? I saw a bunch of videos about it.

Really sad news. We’re in a pretty rough era for the metal scene. A lot of pioneering members are reaching vulnerable ages.

What about all the people that breathed in that toxic cloud or injured themselves trying to run away from the chaos? Surely many of them ended up in hospital.

People are allowed to ask honest questions and IMO this seems like one. If more people exercised self-reflection like this we might live in a better society.

That is super cool. Great read!

Ideally the advisory is going out over the radio too. People will hear it while driving and then spread by word of mouth.

Everyone can do it

The vast majority just won’t.

Hmm. Interesting idea.

When I run out of stuff to see on Lemmy, I touch grass. Simple as.

I feel way more in control of my online experience when endless scrolling isn’t possible.

Non-resident aggressively commenting on another country’s driving laws then shit talking foreign policy out of nowhere. Bold strategy, Cotton.

The fact is that a video call implies that your eyes are on the video. In this case while driving. Do you see how that’s problematic? Your argument is some weird whataboutism.

The bridge is 4.3 miles. Average riding speed for a 30-35 year old rider is 20.8 mph according to Strava data. Let’s say its 15mph instead.

That’s a 28 minute ride at below average speed; 20 minutes at average.

That is not too long, as clearly evidenced by the people that use the bike lane.

If their time is so valuable, maybe they should ride a bike instead of trapping themselves in traffic?

The average American commute is 41 miles round trip. I guarantee you that a large number of people stuck on that bridge every day have a much shorter commute, could ride a bike instead, and would actually spend less of their time commuting by doing so.

Those are the people you should be angry with because they’re the ones that are directly wasting your time with their frivolous driving trips. The more we get people riding bikes, the less problems those that are required to drive will experience.

Also, maybe if the average American car wasn’t a wasteful hulking behemoth there would be more room for more people on the roads. 🤷

Which is funny because if your job requires you to touch those lids, it would be your fucking job.

This is just the work of lazy fucks or they’re truly dumb as a bag of rocks.

Drummers covering other drummers is a very popular scene on Youtube. Check out Alex Rudinger to start and just go down the rabbit hole.

iHeartRadio is a cancer. They’re just consolidating everything like Ticketmaster did with venues.
