I just hate the comic style that is used in presentations like this, it is just too cutsey, and I can’t take it seriously

Nah, I am happy with my mental state as it is.

I have never done shrooms or any drug.

I remember back when I found the Conet project CD boxset uploaded on the internet when I was into number stations.

It is a collection of number station recordings, released to try and get attention and focus people’s efforts to find and decode these signals.

A subtype of number stations are polytone stations, they broadcast tones that a computer can interpret into the message, so when you hear it, it is just what sounds like random tones played randomly at high speed.

The full recording also has a few more sections, there is often an identification string, like a peice of music to help agents tune in to the source, then there is a sync broadcast to have the computer figure out the timings, I have heard this as a rapid stacato tone signal.

Anyway, one of the most terrifying experiences I have had with media was when I was at a LAN party, I was playing OpenTTD with my friends in coop, while listening to the Conet project.

I get to a track that just starts with a slow droning rythm, I zone out from the sound and it is kinda nice with a slow, allmost meditative tempo in my headphones.

This goes on for minutes as I relax, then suddenly, the sound speeds up and a different stacato rythm starts.

And before I could react, my ears are filled with weird random beeps at a high speed.

I just ripped my headphones off my head as it sort of felt as if my brain was being reprogrammed, the long slow drone part felt as if it was made to soften my brain up, for the fast beeps to affect me.

Here you go!

Cropped it to 16:9 and resized it to 1920x1080

As for the file size, the original JPG of this out of the camera was only about 8MB, but the raw file is 34MB

The originals are in the 10-15MB range as JPGs, and are about 21 megapixels large, do you really need that large images for your desktop?

I can try and resize photo for your resolution if that would help

Tackar!

Just a quick note, if you look at the overhead wires, you can see a small white spot, that is an arc flash between the pantograph and the wires, I don’t know why it is there, it usually happens when there is an interruption of the power connection, between the wire and the pantograph, it is common during winter when ice forms on the wire, but not that common during summer/late summer.

Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.

It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn’t clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense

Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn’t have the energy to debate the issue

I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.

I did so as I realized that I didn’t have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online

This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.

I see a future where you will need to have a philosophical argument together with a blood test to logon to the internet.

Oh, I absolutely agree!

That is just begging for a mess

That is not toilet paper, it is a roll of hand towels, which will cause a clogged toilet.

Sure, but is that due to a better product, cheaper product or a better political landscape?

I am leaning on the latter two options.

“Looking to upstage Apple”

I am sure Huawei will run a good presentation, but I have severe doubts about “upstaging”, especially since we don’t know what Huawei will launch.

Meh, the cost of each is vastly different
