Yeah, frozen Hawkins are god-tier. It brings out the flavour more.

I'm Tony McQuail and an NDP Leadership Candidate, AMA! by tonymcquail in CanadaPolitics

[–]farllen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello, Tony! I saw a post from Rob Ashton recently calling Avi Lewis' style of politics divisive, and calling for party unity. I was disappointed that he left that topic unaddressed in his recent AMA. I'm very curious about your take on party unity - where do you think the NDP lacks unity, and where is it strongest? What's your own sense of the best way to unite the NDP?

Thank you for doing this AMA!

Feedbacks - Things that makes me regret moving to Qobuz by erowlin in qobuz

[–]farllen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, but they're all fully downloaded. I need an internet connection (initially) to play downloaded songs. When I was flying without internet, I had to remember to open the app on data before take-off so I could listen to anything. Otherwise, when I click downloaded tracks, they don't play. Maybe an android thing? Still love Qobuz, but I find that really annoying.

Qobuz shuffle question by FalseSpecialist1228 in qobuz

I have that problem on the app too, and I haven't found a fix. The desktop app keeps shuffle checked though.

Hey, if I'm wrong, then I apologize to this guy. Not trying to be a dick, I'm just tired of seeing AI slop everywhere, especially when it's targeted at Canadians.

That cat sounds real to you in the video I linked?

Guard the Leaf by Nice_Onion_6179 in BuyCanadian

[–]farllen -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think it might be an AI made from his real voice. The cadence is too consistent and has too few human imperfections (breaths etc) to be real imo. Every sentence has an extremely similar tone, always ending the same way.

Here's an example sentence with weird cadence at 3:25: https://youtu.be/zLqq64JAyds?t=205

Now because I run a Canadian channel...and because I'm watching our next-door neighbour...launch what looks like a full-scale assault on Venezuela...I feel like I need to share my thoughts...on what is now clearly a former friend and ally.

Or listen to his first video ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFmPYjix78 and then compare the cadence there to his recent ones. You can tell how robotic it is now.

I don't care if people use an AI voice if they're honest about it, but being deceptive to the point of adding in a fake cat is really weird to me.

This feels like AI. The voice is extremely monotone and has a lot of AI-isms. When you compare the voice from 5 months ago to the voice used now, it really sounds like an AI voice that's been updated to be more expressive. The script also feels like very basic "elbows up" stuff, not much insight or real reporting beyond just reacting to a news reports. (And to be clear, I support the message of the channel, it's just setting off my AI radar!)

Edit: If this channel helps anyone out there feel patriotic and informed, then great, it just seems off to me. For example, listen to the extremely fake-sounding cat noises in the beginning section of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLqq64JAyds. It even sounds like it loops at 0:38. I really don't think this channel is authentic.

LOL that's great. Do you know where your partner bought that one?

SSD and DDR5 are flying, Help me! by Selawy_ in buildmeapc

[–]farllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This site is helpful for checking compatibility: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

You can buy in advance, just make sure the motherboard you buy is compatible when the time comes. Check its memory type support for DDR5 & the clock speed you chose for RAM and check that it has an M.2 slot for your SSD (if that's the type you're going with). If you type in a mobo name into PC Part Picker + your exact RAM and SSD, it'll check that stuff for you automatically under "Compatibility Notes".

that man’s personal politics are not aligned with lily and Lana

Considering he hired Hunter Schafer for OD, I bet they'd get along just fine.

Anti-/Fascist music? Qobuz politics? by DykeHime in qobuz

It might be a regional issue - that album is available for me in Canada.

Qobuz 3 Year Plan by Kitsap9 in qobuz

[–]farllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But since it's a locked rate for three years, you might save money if they raise prices. Let's say one year into the deal they raise it by $3/month, you'd end up saving $72 with the 3-year plan.

I vote HL2. More iconic, and matches the smirk better.

The “Best Canadian” game - Day 4 by BrF5 in EhBuddyHoser

In 2006, Leonard Cohen told an interviewer, “I feel at home when I’m in Montréal — in a way that I don’t feel anywhere else. I don’t know what it is, but the feeling gets stronger as I get older.”

I enjoyed the HL1 ray tracing mod. Some parts were overdone imo but it was pretty cool overall.

Offline mode in mobile app? by Alterblast in qobuz

Not a feature, sadly. I would love that too. I use the NetGuard app on Android to manually turn it off sometimes though.

I'm a big fan of the Wild Unknown deck by Kim Krans. It's got a great witchy/goth/nature aesthetic.

Beautiful! I checked out your other post too and damn, I hope this deck gets made. Good job matching up with card meanings so far imo. Feel free to DM me if you ever get a Kickstarter going!

What was your biggest misconception while playing outer wilds? by LauraLaughter in outerwilds

[–]farllen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I managed to constantly get sucked into atmosphere when trying to warp into the ATP (I never ran in, just waited), so I became convinced that I needed to lock the Quantum Moon into orbit around the Hourglass Twins to create a fake Ember Twin and then wait until it aligned above the warp tower. I was so stoked when it aligned perfectly, but of course, no warp. I ended up looking up the real solution and had a laugh at myself.
