- Comment on Why is this episode of NOVA about data privacy recommending Privacy Badger? 13 hours ago:
the only reason I’m still using it is the feature that hides embeeded iframe widgets until a “view” button is clicked

- it makes it easier to find the fingerprint sensor (although there’s an option to show only the sensor without all the other stuff)
- allows quickly checking time and battery levels by just glancing at the phone and provides a superior alternative to notification led, you actually see which apps sent you notifications specifically.

i usually go for midrange as i like to mess with my phones and stuff.
like i compiling large c projects, running linux desktop environments etc - Comment on Come on, science! 2 weeks ago:
yeah i still whip out my old redmi note 4 whenever i need to use some obscure appliance that only works with ir.
the thing’s annoying af tho, the battery’s dies after like 5 minutes, barely able to charge and turns off randomly, the thing takes 5 minutes to boot and the os is ridiculously slow with all the modern updates - Comment on Come on, science! 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Forgejo v7.0 is now available 3 weeks ago:
don’t think AP is suitable for a gh-like website, it’s one of the cases where another protocol (or protocol extension) makes a lot of sense

- Comment on The free Delta game emulator for iPhones is live on Apple’s App Store 3 weeks ago:
i mean there’s an official android port of it and it’s still being kept up to date, or is there anything wrong with it? (i see it has ads, but it doesn’t really matter if you block them on like dns level)
- Comment on A bad influence 4 weeks ago:
you just haven’t used them enough or suffered from constantly needing to switch between old and “new” apps
- Comment on A bad influence 4 weeks ago:
isn’t it literally just a wrapper around the browser version? don’t see how browser usage might be allowed but not this

try taking the test lol
abx.digitalfeed.net/lame.320.html
this compares uncompressed audio and a 320kbps LAME-encoded mp3 (opus will sound better at lower bitrate but whatever)
- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
it’s not worth 5x the storage space usage
- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
well if you need both recordings and an audio spectrometer to even notice the difference, it might as well not exist. good lossy compression is indistinguishable from lossless
- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
you’re probably lying or this is kind of placebo effect .
ogg can reach transparency at even 150kbps, and you want to use double that for converting flacs. - Comment on Scared the shit out of me ngl 4 weeks ago:
well it’s a language learning app so a little bit of motivation can be a great thing for the user
- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
nah just convert them to oggs unless you’re archiving music. there’s literally zero perceptible difference
