  • My tech skills are rusting horribly but I tried to briefly take a look at this...

    I'm seeing the same behavior with the Firefox save-as file extension being .m4a vs the displayed URL showing .mp3.

    Opening either extension in VLC and viewing the codec info (Tools->Codec Info / Ctrl+J) shows the actual encoding to be 'MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)'.

    I didn't try grabbing a file from the torrent, but if I use the media tab in Firefox 'Page Info' (Ctrl+I) to "save as" the embedded IA player file it suggests a matching .mp3 extension with the displayed address (but the codec is still mp4a).

    The main thing I'm not following is what you mean by having parse errors in Mp3tag. So far I haven't seen any metadata included in either the .mp3 or .m4a downloads (I only tested the first file), they both play audio fine, and if I browse to their directory in Mp3tag (vers. 2.57) it doesn't seem to show anything unusual to me (empty metadata, no error/alert messages). What exactly is the parse error or how is it behaving differently from what's expected?


    I also just wanted to say "THANK YOU!" for an awesome support post. You posted it to the right community, gave it a short but very descriptive title, gave lots of info about what you've tried and the results you've experienced -- and did so politely :)

  • The long boi design is brilliant. You can have 'friends with excrements' on it, it's a flushable bathtub/isolation chamber and a luxurious porcelain coffin. I hope it has an integrated bidet that functions like a wacky lawn sprinkler.

  • Oh, what happened to the toaster?

  • According to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it's from 2000. Here's the artist's page, didn't see a date attached to it there unfortunately.

  • I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.

    • To start with, it looks like they used a row-resolution base and then possibly tried to AI upscale it (look at animal faces on the "protect kids" wrap and the artist signature/items on the table)
    • The pointless circular blur near the collar of the box holder
    • The weird clone/stamp action going on with the side of the box - just use a solid box if the goal is efficiency vs quality!

    But also leaving the artist's signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it's modified feels shitty too. This isn't a meme or political community so I'd think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.

  • Original by John Jonik without the shitty edits:

  • Does a low resolution desktop capture of someone slowly and sloppily typing messages for the viewer into notepad count as text-based?

    How about a gigantic compressed image of mostly plain text attached to a post that requires an account to download files? Maybe also with a colored/patterned background to make trying to print the monstrosity even more fun.

    Or maybe actual embedded text, but served via 300 MB of bloated libraries and fonts and a script that disables right-clicking and text selecting.

  • A 3 day old account that only posts clickbait links to 2 domains, n24hrcom and sciinsidercom -- I wonder if there's any connection.

  • His cowworker definitely knows his shit.

  • I hope Danny DeVito plays the villain.

  • S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.

    Firecracker:

    Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don't give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you're a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?

  • When go to you

    happen does How a typo this like even? It's like they noticed the word "you" was missing and then decided to add it haphazardly. If "go to" was omitted it also would have been coherent.

  • bofa Deezen guesses are good but not quite right.

  • I've had a cheap picture very similar to this for a long time. Unless the original artist used a pseudonym I'm assuming it's an unlicensed knockoff. Signature looks like "Jons/Jones[?] 91." I won't link to it, but I found an eBay listing for it and the seller said they won it at an amusement park so that's probably where I got mine.

    Sorry for low-quality scan, tried to fix blurriness but no luck so far.
