@dan @ieure This kind of thing makes me wish I didn't have a conscience.

@drwho @dan Think of it as a guerrilla progressive tax system.

@drwho @dan You'd be using rich dipshits' money to create blue-collar manufacturing jobs. Seems like a win/win to me.

@ieure @drwho @dan everyone knows that memmove has a warmer vintage sound, though.

@steve @ieure @dan If you can't hear it by disconnecting your speakers and tuning an AM radio across the room, it's crap.

@steve @ieure @drwho @dan memcpy is already implemented. blue collar jobs copying it to vinyl install disks.

@steve @ieure @drwho @dan I prefer bespoke British memcpy for pop, but Italian artisanal memcpy for classical music.

@uhertlein @steve @ieure @drwho @dan I mean, you joke, obvs, but you know what, bespoke artisanal OSes and apps sound pretty good to me, TBH.

@drwho @dan @ieure I'm sure enough people would pay for an audiophile grade browser (it was written by tibettan monks using programming knowledge lost for 1000 years and validated in a 100% oxygen free enironment. Β£10,000 a copy. Looking like a reskinned chrome is coincidence).

@dan @ieure Lol this manages to be worse than the gaming community

@syklemil @dan @ieure gold-plated jacks are also pretty useless

@artyif

Oh yeah, but it's at least possible to mumble something about conductivity for those. With these it becomes even more obvious that it's just a moron tax.

@f4grx @syklemil @dan @ieure wait, putting everything in this thread together, let's shed our consciences and manufacture TOSLINK cables with gold plated connectors _and_ ferrites. It, um, "conditions the optical flow for reduced decoherence"! Only $299 for a 1m cable with free prime shipping!

@dave_andersen @f4grx @syklemil @dan See, keeping a straight face while trotting out this nonsense is the thing I'd really struggle with.

@dan @ieure I knew about the audiophile LAN cables but this is truly something else. Wow. And this thing has won awards! Check out this utterly mad review of the thing

@dan I’m sure this is real … but accepting this is kinda wrecking my head. 🀯
