you focus on that popup and ignore all the crank shit that is on this page

yes a piece of granite (?) with $60 pricetag put on my amplifier COMPLETELY changes how my vinyls sound like

statements dreamed of by the utterly deranged

Right click?? Why did we ever need a second or third or seventeenth button anyway?

They have played us for absolute fools

[-] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

a single button makes the clicks sound warmer.

A piece of granite placed on the turntable would change how his records sound, but not necessarily in a good way.

Depending on the artist of course.

Does it only work for rock albums?

I'll see myself out.

I always found these anti-right-click scripts funny since they usually don't block Ctrl+S to save the page, Ctrl+U to view source, or Ctrl+P to print (or these days, F12 to open the browser dev tools)

[-] jayandp 57 points 3 months ago

My personal favorite is Ctrl+Shift+C which brings up Dev tools in selection mode, so you can click on the picture or whatever and be taken straight to its HTML code.

Shift + right-click will override all this BS in Firefox.

I just turn off JavaScript and then right click works again.

All this does is infuriate actual users trying to use your site. Content thieves will just download it via a script or curl and you won't be able to do anything about it.

There is a 100% chance this warning correlates with the actual content on this site being hot garbage

Audiophile equipment is just magic crystal bullshit for pseudointellectuals.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

To an extent yes but it's essentially just extreme deminishing returns

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

there are both categories.
Some things are marginally better and incredibly expensive.
Other things, such as garden hose power snakes and these "audiophile crystals" are just pure scam.

He should just ask for a donation. His work isn't that valuable

[-] [email protected] 52 points 4 months ago

Considering they think putting rocks on top of your playing equipment changes the sound, their work has negative value.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

Technically, a weight on top of AV equipment's cases will change the resonant properties of the chassis but that does not produce audible effects unless it's on the speaker cone. The author considers this and dismisses the possibility because “rocks not heavy enough”.

Also, a sufficiently large rock will affect the performance of any Hi-Fi equipment.

In my whole life I never bought digital audio or video content on vinyl, VHS, CD, DVD, Blueray. Never ever. It sounds as weird to me like paying for air to breath.

But one day I visited a live concert of a small band which I loved as a teenager. After the show I met with their drummer, gave him €200 cash and said "You know, when I was young you were cool about kids copying your music without paying. You told us if we like you music we can enjoy it. And if we can afford it, we can pay you. Back then I couldn't. Today I can."

And so I paid them five times as much as I saved back then by copying their music.

You are a very good person.

This is utterly irrelevant to people copying multi-million sales dickshits like Metallica.

Don't get scammed with audiophile rocks. I've done my research and found out that audiophile rock salt does the exact same thing and it is MUCH cheaper! Feel free to copy this and spread the word!

Are you sure it isn’t the kitty sticker?

Probably the source of their problem:

Copyright Infringement – Outing – dasklang.com, isecope.com, headgamesonline.com and technocratsblog.com

As I See It, News, comments & Information

Apr 16, 2019

Recently I have discovered my review work (1) and show reports taken and reproduced without my permission by four websites, one of whom took the material down when asked – they should not have reproduced it in the first place. When approached they said ‘sure that is how the net works, I am helping you by doing this’. No you are not, you are only helping yourself dasklang.com (2), creating traffic to your site off the back of my work not your own. How would you like it if I reproduced the design of your products ? Then told you my doing so was helping you. You wouldn’t.

I was going to let this go, but why should I? I have struggled personally to try and put some content on my site, battled reviwers burn out and other issues. Content that in many cases I have paid for out of my pocket to write about, not items loaned by manufacturers or distributors, but products I had bought, sometimes simply to write about them. However even if I had not parted with my money, my time and effort is worth something surely? Worthy of respect that I would at the very least be offered a chance to give my permission as to how my work is used, and where. None of these websites asked, they took what wasn’t theirs to use, to put content on their sites.

The websites that still have my material up without permission are isecope.com, headgames online and technocratsblog.com, all three I suspect are linked.

As they are watching this site maybe after being named and shamed they will remove the material. I doubt it, I guess I will have to go after them with DMCA’s and report to their web-hosts.

That used to be fairly common 10-15 years ago.

I was about to give some empathy for the dude but their articles are trash and they would be lucky if we stole them.

Meanwhile, their robots.txt doesn't disallow GPTBot or Google Bard. So apparently they're okay with content being stolen by for-profit companies.

Now I want to go there and steal everything.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I was going to copy content from the page using Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy in Firefox, but then I realized the content isn't worth copying.

So yes, there are add-ons to easily extract text and bypass this. The text is sent to your computer. It's your computer. You can copy the content.

looks like its just setting some events, these two lines should clear the anti-select and the anti-right click respectively if pasted into the debug console:

document.body.onselectstart = undefined
document.oncontextmenu = undefined
