Yeah to expand on this, in professional settings you’ll want a higher sampling frequency so you don’t end up with eg. aliasing, but for consumer use ≥44–48kHz sampling rate is pretty much pointless
Probably the latter. Seems like a cynical marketing ploy, really
Surprisingly enough, some essential oils do have actual uses with research backing this up, such as topical antibacterials, antifungals and antiparasitics.
While there’s quite a bit of woo woo around them, there’s also a lot of interesting research into phytochemicals like essential oils. Same with a few other “plant-based” things like pine resin; there’s even a clinically tested pine resin salve that helps with wound healing and is used for treating difficult wounds in some hospitals in Finland.
The problem with essential oils is trying to filter out the snake oil claims from the actual research-based claims. Most vendors tend to have pretty, well, wild claims about what their products can do, so your best bet is scholar.google.com or www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and the like
no one ever tactfully includes ads
This is pretty patently hyperbole; I’ve run into many sites, including news, with non-intrusive ads.
Whether it’s class-based gatekeeping is another matter entirely. For-profit media employees have to eat too, and in the current economic system most can’t just give people access to content for free without any sort of monetization mechanism and with a voluntary subscription, because that’ll very often lead to income dropping off a cliff. Unfortunately people are very loath to pay for online services except for some more niche cases like the Fediverse where instances run on voluntary donations – although I’ve seen a couple of moderately popular instances struggling with upkeep being higher than what people are willing to donate (and it’s not just services either; open source developers face similar issues.) In some countries we at least have public broadcasting companies, although eg. here in Finland the current extremist right-wing government is looking to reduce its funding by quite a bit and possibly even entirely dismantle it if they get their way.
While I definitely agree that news should be available for free, railing against a for-profit publisher’s paywall is, frankly, myopic; like it or not, in the current system even content producers have to make a living. None of us really has a choice in whether we want to live in this system or not
Well, for many publishers the choice is either ads or paywalls. The fact that people feel entitled to get everything for free is a part of why things are going to shit, because ads bring with them a whole slew of perverse incentives (eg. optimizing for ad views instead of content quality)
So, incest?
eihän se toki varmasti tullut yllätyksenä kuin korkeintaan oikeistopopulistien kannattajille
Ja siis oikeistohan syyttää nyt jo vasemmistoa siitä, että heidänkin on nyt pakko ottaa velkaa.
Oikeistolainen taloustiede menee jokseenkin niin, että mikäli valtion menot ovat (väitetysti) liian suuret ja velkaa on (väitetysti) otettu liikaa, kannattaa siinä kohtaa sekä leikata tuloja, että ottaa lisää velkaa kattaakseen ne rikkaiden verohelpotuksista jääneet budjettilovet. Samalla kannattaa myös myydä valtion omaisuutta yksityisille sijoittajille, että saa budjetin näyttämään siltä, että se ei ole aivan järkyttävästi miinuksella – ja toki kivasti myös pääsee ulkomaiset pääomasijoittajat ja jokunen hassu Kokoomuksen hyödyllinen idiootti rikastumaan.
Näinhän se meni aikaisemmissakin oikeistohallituksissa. Inistiin siitä miten pahat vasemmistolaiset luulee että rahaa tulee taikaseinästä, saatiin suomalaiset idiootit äänestämään heitä, ja kas kummaa kohta otettiinkin velkaa että saatiin katettua oikeistolaisen talouspolitiikan kustannukset ja jätettiin paikka kaikin puolin paskempaan kuntoon kuin mitä se oli hallituskaudelle lähtiessä. Vituttaa suunnattomasti, että oikeistourpoilla on otsaa väittää, että vasemmisto tuhosi esim. suomalaisen koulujärjestlemän. Saatanan kusipäät eivät jännästi halua ajatella, että kukas niitä koulutuslupauksia oikein teki ja kuka ne rikkoi. PAHA VASEMMISTO, tietenkin.
Yeah, same. I left a bit before the mass exodus, just like I did with Reddit -> Lemmy. I also joined IRC a bit before the Eternal September.
I feel like some sort of herald of Eternal September. So if your social media site is suddenly full of clueless morons, you can just blame me.
Protect your hearing, kids!
Seriously, PROTECT YOUR FUCKING HEARING. I was young and stupid (now I’m no longer young) and went to way too many raves, gigs etc. without any sort of hearing protection, and now I have a nice constant background track of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and can’t hear higher frequencies worth shit
Have the KPIs of my own life failed to grow quarter-over-quarter?
High tariffs and other economic sanctions would essentially be just that, but like another comment said the west isn’t ready for it.
We’ve managed to entangle our economies too deeply with cheap Chinese production, so actually sanctioning them would be painful to say the least and they know it
