As long as they don't have different allergies or had biometrics recorded and assigned to them at the hospital it arguably wouldn't even matter.

I've always used desktop microphones, but that's an issue I didn't even consider. Tbh it seems like most "gamer" headsets slap on the shittiest microphones because they affect you the least and it ticks another box on the product page.

Yup, this was pretty much supposed to be the point of the meme. Audio, unfortunately, is a much more difficult problem. It seems like we're getting closer every year though and I'm excited for when wireless audio is as good as wireless keyboards and mice.

I have. You either get good sound quality or low latency. Pretty much every low latency wireless protocol (at least the ones I'm aware of) sacrifices bitrate for latency. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but I can tell when sound quality isn't great.

This wasn't meant to be the point of the meme at all. Wireless keyboards and mice have overcome the issues that made them objectively worse than their wired counterparts (latency and accuracy). Unfortunately though with wireless headphones you either get low latency or good audio quality, and I'm yet to find headphones that do both well. At the moment I have WH-1000XM4s I use for music at work and ATH-M50Xs I use for games. If I could get the best of both worlds I absolutely would, but it seems like every good sounding wireless headphones have awful latency that's too jarring to ignore when playing games.

For my current job we've all agreed to take the approach of not writing comments that say what the code does, but why you did something the way you did. Probably about 90% of our code is uncommented because it just doesn't need to be, but every once in a while you have to do something out of the ordinary to get the desired behavior, and explaining why you made the weird decision you did is infinitely more helpful.

I wasn't a Sync user on Reddit, but Relay didn't make it over to Lemmy. Sync has some of the most non-intrusive ads I've ever seen, and that's coming from someone who is extremely anti-ads. They're very different from the actual posts and super easy to just scroll past. It's also very clearly made by someone who is great with UI/UX.

That's crazy to me. Our manager went out on a boat last week on Friday, and we haven't heard shit from him since. Hell, we'd probably tattle on him to our skip level if we did because our skip would be furious to hear people are working during vacation. I'm a software engineer in the US, and unfortunately stories like yours are all too common here :/

I have like 3, but I find myself going back to Sync. I wish Relay would have gone this route as that was by far my favorite.

I'm pro supporting devs (I'm also one myself), but I'm even more anti-subscription for software. I'd 100% buy a lifetime subscription for $20, however, $100 for a mobile app is insane in my opinion. The developer can set their prices how they please though, and I'll continue using the ad supported version until the price comes down.

We're not saddling bad choices on anyone. We waste so many tax dollars on corporate bailouts while allowing corporations massive tax breaks and we still don't have the money to provide food and shelter to the vulnerable of our society? Somehow we never have money for helping individuals, but the second a corporation needs anything the money is magically there. We're the wealthiest country on Earth by a fucking mile and we somehow cannot afford to not let people die in the street because they got dealt a fucked up hand in life, or had unavoidable medical debt, or didn't have anyone to teach them finances because our education system sure as fuck didnt. Letting people die in poverty isn't the morally right just because they didn't have the opportunities or luck you did.

Do you have any idea how many people have 0 debt or kids and still can't even afford to save for retirement because wages are ass and living is expensive, let alone at 19? I grew up surrounded by poverty, and I've seen first hand how inescapable it is. I'm extremely lucky in that I had my family to support me through college and allow me to make more money than I can even fathom at 23.

I'm making all the right choices currently. I'm maxing out retirement, saving for my future, and paying 35% of my income in taxes to the government to just give to a few billionaires so they can become richer instead of helping those who actually need it. Just because I've got mine doesn't mean I'm gonna say fuck you to everyone else. I want to help people who are less fortunate, not pull the ladder up behind me.

Our country is a fucking joke for the poor and vulnerable of our society, and we should be doing so much better, but we aren't because some dickwad needs another billion dollars.

The price is a bit steep for me personally, but I agree. I'm currently on Connect but the call from Sync is strong.
