why arent guitars made with 3.5mm jacks rather than quarter inch jacket
  • Analog connections are very universal. You don't need to deal with handshakes between devices, sample rate differences, clock systems etc. because each device receives and outputs analog signal via mostly the same 1/4" jacks and plugs.

    While a digital signal chain would have overall latency benefits and fewer A/D/A conversions, it just doesn't matter that much with modern hardware.

  • Panera founder says employees today aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders: 'Nobody cares'
  • What a nonsense article. Shareholders have never motivated workers in any way, so this is like saying, "Water is wet." Then they quote some Tiktok crap?

    Companies catering to shareholder whims and the demand for perpetual share value growth are the reasons why many companies go to shit when eventually that growth comes from layoffs, worse work conditions etc.

    Pay your workers fair wages, offer a good work/life balance and keep them happy to work for you and they will go above and beyond.

  • What is the profession you wouldn't work, even for a day and even if paid your weight in gold?
  • I think you could do almost anything for a day. One day is "Here's Jim, he's new, and we are going to show him how we do things here" stuff where little actual work happens.

    A month would be a more realistic situation. I wouldn't want to be military in an active war zone, work for a drug/trafficking cartel, or any other dangerous profession where the likelihood of dying or going to prison is high. Or professions where I'd have to actively harm people.

  • Critics of capitalism, what concrete economic policies do you support?
  • Infinite growth and the shittification of services and products while exploiting labor to make that happen are the real problems.

    Billionaires should not exist and companies should be doing what is best for the company, its employees and customers, not what pleases their stockholders.

  • Hey, it's Thanksgiving today in the USA and Brazil, and also kind of in Japan, so maybe it's a good day for me to ask, WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
  • It's been a rough year and I came very close to being furloughed. Managed to get a new client just at the right time and now I'm thriving again. I'm thankful for having frankly a lot of luck over the years which has put me where I am today. I'm not saying hard work wasn't important too, but sheer luck has been helpful too.

  • Will the world ever stop being anti-intellectual?
  • You would think the Internet and access to an unprecedented amount of information would have made us smarter, more emphatic, and so on.

    But it turns out people are easily misled and manipulated. Social media quickly starts to feed you more of the same crap just because you watched one video. Village idiots can now form echo chambers with like-minded individuals, e.g flat Earth believers.

    Those who want power will take advantage of people who fall into all this.

  • What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?
  • Plus there would always be griefers who just want to ruin other people's game because the repercussions are at most a bit of money (if they get banned and have to buy a new copy of the game), rather than incarceration, bodily harm, or death in the real world.

  • Do you think lemmy would be as popular as reddit?
  • Exactly. The amount of /r/adviceanimals level pure shit content on Reddit is high, paired with the bots that repost things until they start hocking some crypto bullshit links.

    But I have kept using Reddit for years because every once in a while, you see someone write thoughtful posts about some niche subject you didn't even know existed. That's always interesting.

    Lemmy is at a state where it needs more users writing about things that interest them.

    Relay Pro just went to subscription, so the last 3rd party Reddit app is gone. I will probably read Lemmy much more on mobile from now on and hope it picks up steam.
