@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchangeGood news from the #SaltLakeCity Library system. Congratulations to the workers and management. I love the downtown library. It's great to have City and County library cards as you can find titles in one that aren't always in the other.
@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euI admit, I am seriously wondering about the RTX 5070 Ti, compared to the RX 9070 XT. But these results clearly, and bafflingly, show its advantages lay in 4x frame gen. Ray tracing? Sure, in a handful of Nvidia titles that snub AMD. DLSS? 99% of these games can be modded to FSR 4. Longevity between the two cards is an interesting question. And I don't believe Nvidia has much room for next gen improvement.

The other ongoing criticism is "well actually, iTunes was always bad".
No, it wasn't. When it was released it was _way_ better than any other jukebox sofware.
You could actually find stuff easily, manage playlists super quick. It ripped CDs, including getting track titles and managing files, with literally _no clicks required_.
Burning CDs took like two clicks.
While admittedly lock-in, it would sync your iPod with no clicks after dropping it in the iPod dock. And it was super fast. (Other manufacturers didn't have anything close to this convenient).
Other jukebox software didn't do any of this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
Happy #Festivus everyone. I'm looking forward to the airing of grievances and performing feats of strength later today. But we also have to celebrate National Christmas Movie Marathon Day on December 23rd. Our pickings are slim if you want to limit yourself to Canadian classics of this holiday season. Sure, virtually every #Hallmak movie is filmed in Canada, apparently with variations of a single plot, but they don't count. Here's a list of 5 Canadian films provided by CBC to get you started and you can provide a community service by suggesting other titles for your fellow Canucks. For example, Uncle Buck feels like a Christmas movie solely because of John Candy. When your list is ready, you can wrap yourself in a Hudson's Bay blanket, munch on some Nanaimo Bars, and binge watch your favourites.
