What was the worst band or singer you’ve ever listened to? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i've ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i've felt it with music.

i think you need to look up how supply and demand works. i've exhausted my "arguing with people on the internet who clearly don't want their minds changed" time for today, so have a good one.

yeah dude vegans make up a pretty small portion of the population, so of course the meat industry hasn't been just erased like magic. societal changes like this happen at a glacial pace and the idea is that more people become vegan over time and thus demand for those products gradually falls. even if 10% of the population went vegan, demand for those products would fall by 10% and there would be that many less animals killed for it because it would not be profitable.

to claim that it is ineffective is like claiming that eating healthy makes no difference from eating like shit after doing it for a single day and not seeing amazing results.

being vegan is literally about not supporting the meat industry, so i genuinely do not understand what you're trying to say. that one person alone being vegan won't make a difference? that not supporting the meat industry is the same as supporting the meat industry, which is demonstrably false? i don't know of a more easy and effective way for a single person to make a difference than to stop supporting it altogether, and broad change starts with individuals deciding to make that change.

so you're saying that they would just keep killing more and more animals to produce more and more meat even if nobody wanted to buy it?

they are paid because people buy the products. if nobody bought the products, there would be no money in it. are you trying to say that people would be paid to kill animals even if nobody bought animal products?

how do you think meat gets to the grocery store? someone has to kill an animal, and the person buying the meat typically pays money for it.

nothing in between the computer and monitor - it's just plugged straight in. my current guess is that some step of pacman's install/update process changes something that also gets changed by something else (DE, config file, idk) after the boot.

when i boot my computer after having run an update, my primary monitor (which should be at 1920x1080) is stuck at 640x480. interestingly, when i reboot and change nothing, it fixes itself until i run another update.

i'm on arch, using nvidia 555.58-2, on plasma 6.1.1-1. the monitor in question is DP-0 in the system info below.

what could be causing this and how can i fix it?

i've been having this issue for a while while kinda just dealing with it because it was something i could easily work around by booting my computer twice, but i'd really like to get it solved.

a couple audio questions - how to set audio levels automatically or via cli? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

hi all,

i've been getting some comments that my mic is quiet so before i go looking for a new one, i thought i'd check to see if this could be solved with software. i don't have an amp or anything for my mic and to my knowledge it shouldn't need one, but it is pretty old now and i forgot what actual product it is.

i'm on arch using kde with pipewire. i am already using kde's (or maybe something else does this idk) feature to raise maximum volume to 150% in the audio volume window, but this will turn itself off at unpredictable intervals and is also seemingly not always enough.

so i ask - is it possible to set some setting or use some linux audio magic to raise my mic output volume? and in the same vein of changing/setting audio levels, is it possible to configure the volume level on my system to not go above a certain level - as in all audio above x level is clamped back down to x?

full transparency edit - not 10 minutes after hitting the post button i found the volume knob on my mic that i swear to god was hiding so well and was definitely not just right there the whole time and definitely not accidently turned way down. still would like an answer to the second question though lmao
