  • Yes.. I made double sure to mention 'encoder' between that.

    Xiph really won the lossy codec scene with Opus and I transcoded all my junk to that format. Hitting (my personal) transparency on 128k vbr is flat out impressive and it warms my heart that corpos won't have a reason to collect taxes for basic things like audio codec. However it's a different story with bluetooth audio codec in which I hope will change.

  • I see, so Edifier and Soundcore shall do some homework as well: LDAC and multi point don't work there either.

  • I feel you there. Personally I just use the earbuds as output and the integrated laptop mic as input. Bluetooth really just doesn't shine in that regard. However if you're on Desktop and want everything to happen on a headset, not earbuds x wired stand mic, you should look into things like HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless that employ a USB dongle instead.

  • Yes, LDAC and multipoint do not mix hence I'm looking forward to LC3plus that replaces it. To be fair it's not a big issue to roll back to AAC or even SBC to use multipoint, because you probably aren't gonna notice a difference when you don't listen to high res apps like Tidal. It also should be known that a good codec does not fix mediocre drivers and/or chips. Regardless, Linux shines in letting you use a feature you did pony up for. :)

  • Yes but it is a automated backup solution if you want it to. I just put important stuff in the Syncthing folder and rest assured its also on the phone incase the computers SSD caughs fire.

  • Syncthing. I don't want to invest into a NAS and put some load into my already greedy power bill, so I chose something decentralized. Syncthing really just works like Torrent but for your personal files: Whatever happens on the computer, also does on the phone, and on the laptop. Each have about 1TB of space and 3 times redundancy? Hell yea buddy dig in.

  • I tried quite a few of distros and I keep on going back to Fedora. A lot of things come out of the box such as Flatpak, it won't pester you about the password when you just want to install a app and i barely find myself solving issues with command line.

    My other two favorites are Mint and Pop, i can recommend these to beginners and I really just like a good out of the box experience, avoiding command line where possible. Are there others that tick these boxes?

  • I dread the day the new manifest gets there and there are sites and apps I use that do depend on Chromium:(

    Is there a assurance somewhere that forks like Edge or Vivaldi don't apply said manifest that enforces uBO Lite?

  • 💖 to everybody who's making this possible. There's hoping that all the traffic can be managed
