disclaimer: do not attempt if you have any sort of blood pressure or cardiac issues or anything that might be aggrivated by a bit of orothostatic hypotension.

First, inhale for 4 seconds, completely filling your lungs, then exhale, completely emptying your lungs. Repeat, taking one second off the inhale each time, but keeping the exhale at 4 seconds.

The effect is amplified if you bend over while doing it and stand up quickly after.

It’s definitely a thing, even with people who can’t speak due to brain damage.

Voice resonance has more to do with your body/skull structure than anything. One thing that I find interesting is that most phenomenonal singers have rather large mouths. My singing ability actually improved as a child after getting my jaw expanded.

You can kinda test this out yourself. Hold a note with your arms by your side, then again with your hands on top of your head with elbows out. Your voice will have a lot more resonance because you’re expanding your chest (this is also the best position to catch your breath in)

I also have a fun breathing exercise that will make you super light headed, which is fun.

The speech and singing regions of the brain are separate from each other, which is why this works. It also can work for people who lose the ability to speak from brain damage.

It’s wild how adaptable the brain is. Some dude was out there just living life when he had a head mri after a car crash (iirc) and found that he only had a brain stem.

I’ll have to get back to you once I fix Synology webstation yet again.

Usenet is actually a way better source for FLAC.

I just want the option to not autoconnect every single device that it ever paired with, without having to re-pair every time.

Yeah, they were definitely ahead of their time when it came to social issues

Meh, Southpark already did it.

No, it’s not Nintendo’s choice. That’s like saying it’s Nvidia’s choice when a game doesn’t implement hardware accelerated ray tracing.

Ah, I didn’t research that far into it, so good point. Although I can see the reasoning behind it from a business standpoint.

Buddy, a very large part of my job is locking down Linux as much as possible while still allowing it to do it’s job. I can confidently say that not locking things down was a decision that was made, not a restraint of the system they used.

I’m not saying that they didn’t lock it down to allow piracy, which is actually a really dumb take. They probably did it to allow moding and allow it to be used as a desktop.

Right, so you don’t know what you’re talking about and shouldn’t speak authoritatively on the subject.

I drive a car every day, but that doesn’t mean I can speak authoritatively on how its transmission works.

But, I am a senior SecOps engineer (like a systems engineer but also a cyber security expert) working mostly with Linux, and I can authoritatively say that you’re mistaken about Valve’s ability to block piracy in Linux.

My point was that it’s on the devs, not Nintendo. The functionality exists, devs just need to implement it.

The same was true for Steam as well, once upon a time.

I think it’s more like Big Cousin instead of little brother, since the corpos run things.

Tell me you don’t know how to administer Linux without telling me you don’t know how to administer Linux.

You probably shouldn’t talk authoritatively on a topic you clearly know nothing about.

Every game I’ve pirated I eventually purchased, but I stopped when steam had their 2h playtime return window.

Switch save files can be saved in the cloud, but the game devs have to enable it. You can also save them to an SD card.

But in this universe, people willingly pay money for Big Brother to watch them.
