This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

audiophiles probably hate me but a lot of my locally downloaded music is just youtube rips

My wife does that too. I don't mind some audio quality loss because i hate the idea of my music taking up tons of unnecessary drive space when I can't even tell the difference between 192kbps and 320kbps bitrate anyway. But i like controlling the quality reduction myself so it's at least consistent, so i'll usually download higher quality rips and then scale them down. Also, YouTube uploads can be inconsistent with their volume levels which is very annoying.

Use replay gain (track based), it helps a lot, you just need an audio player that supports it. Foobar2000 does, and also allows you to apply replay gain to any download music you have.
