Tip: You will save heaps of space by not embedding the cover on each file, just put a cover.jpg in the albums folder, virtually any player will pick it up.

Except when streaming the file or copying a random file to another location. embedded art is pretty convenient, 500x500 is plenty large enough and doesn't take a lot of space (~50KB)

LC3plus isn't really HiFi. It's designed to be low-complexity & low energy: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122575.0.html

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

Same here. I've left myself a bit of a safety margin at 144k vbr, but having my whole library at transparent quality AND portable size is very convenient.

Though, now that opus 1.4 is out I feel a bit of anxiety whether i should re-encode everything from flac->opus1.4

For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8

LDAC is great, but simply stating that the encoder is "open source" is quite misleading (while technically correct). The codec is owned by Sony and heavily licensed. It's a savvy business move of Sony to make the encoder free to use though, so everyone else can support their standard while charging manufacturers who want to integrate it into their headphones.

If we want a really free and open high quality codec, we should push for opus support via bluetooth

Naja, aus skuriler AI-Kunst, die irgendwie uncanny-valley witzig aussieht, ist auch ungefähr seit 2 Jahren die luft raus. Davon habe ich für mein Leben lang genug gesehen.

Cringe.

"Ich habe eine app benutzt"

danke fuer diesen wertvollen astroturfing beitrag, aber jetzt weiss ich endlich, dass man mit der KI-App-Gen 2 von Runaway Research ganz lustige (haha) trailer machen kann.

Wer geht eigentlich unironisch auf 'news' seiten wie dieses watson.ch?

Meh, there's plenty of naturally occurring things, that look 'artificial' to the human eye at first glance.

spoiler etc

Some metallic spheres after entry of a meteoroid into earths atmosphere are not enough unless you explain how they couldn't have formed naturally.

If system security is the most important criteria above everything else, switch to using BSD.

nice bait mate.

While I’m not a fan of nostalgia-mining or the constant remastering and remaking of games

... but in the same sentence has nothing but good things to say about constant tinkering and overhauling:

companies are still keeping some popular older games accessible by relaunching them with better graphics, fine-tuned gameplay, and even added scenes

Dude sounds like he's just speaking out of two sides of his mouth.

By the way, this is also why they are against game preservation. Artificially making the $thing unavailable is a sure fire way to sell it again 'remade'.

the dude wrote a kernel, I very much doubt he needs to brag about his ability to write assembly.

Quite frankly, one of the things that has always irked me about a portion of the Linux community is that as far as I know, a strength and selling point of Linux has always been the freedom of choice. And yet, people start wars over your choices

the "war" about systemd was actually a discussion about the (continuing) ability to make choices, not that some people chose systemd over other options. One of the main points of the debate was that systemd was monopolizing the init process and turning gnu/linux into gnu/linux/systemd.

The assertion that people were just upset like little babies that some wanted to choose a different init is highly disingenuous.
