Adopted daughter. But still…
Never thought I’d see banknote inflation rule 34
Companies cry the same way about the bills to ban end to end encryption, and they’re still bad for consumers too
EWG is a well known pseudoscience peddler, even going as far as anti-vaxx claims https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Working_Group
Every new game that is released with a character dressed in even a slightly sexually suggestive way results in a rabid meltdown from braindead Twitter users. Payment processors like PayPal are forbidding the use of their services for NSFW content due to pressure from fundamentalist christian organizations like Exodus Cry, under the guise of “child safety”
In general, AM radio is the playground of the right wing and I’d love nothing more than to fuck them over because that’s the only thing they’ve ever known.
This is an unhinged take. Kill off the most simple to implement and farthest travelling radio system that would be essential in the event of a nationwide blackout or other emergency (and let the spectrum get sold off to some megacorp), just to own the cons because they broadcast stuff that nobody listens to anyway?
Emergency broadcasts can be made on FM, its not as big of a loss as we fear it will be.
It would be a big loss. FM does not travel beyond the horizon. AM does not require a functioning electrical grid powering the whole country and hundreds of towers linked to telecom services. AM receivers can be built with household scrap. We can get by currently with FM for emergencies, that’s what NOAA weather radio is, but vast swaths of the desert and rural areas are presently left uncovered, and a nationwide power grid or telecom outage would severely impact the service.
Before trying the conversion, I suggest checking if you are missing a library that strawberry needs (probably libopus or libopusfile). For me, strawberry reads opus files perfectly normally, so I wonder if yours is falling back to using ffmpeg or something to decide them
If you really must convert, use Vorbis with the variable bitrate mode -q6
(or -q:a 6
option in ffmpeg) which usually ends up around 192 kbps, or push it up one more to q7 which will be a little higher. This is the level that is usually transparent, but do keep in mind that any conversion between lossy codecs is much more likely to cause perceivable loss in quality than a conversion from a lossless source. Btw opus is the direct successor to Vorbis and is superior in quality per bitrate (128k is what YouTube uses and is indistinguishable the vast majority of the time). It’s probably better than 320k mp3 at least
I don’t think the severe privacy consequences could ever justify any use of this

When Amazon thinks “sub” means “submissive” rather than “subscriber”
I think it should be allowed to set limited data cap OR limited/guaranteed speed, but never both
Any family members and all pets will also be removed from the premises, and they aren’t allowed to have the paperclip.
Get someone who isn’t a family member to shove it up their ass and stay in the house
Elaborate?
They’ve been using opus for probably around a decade at this point, and in fact YouTube was a pretty early adopter of it and had a large role in popularizing it
Oh okay, that makes more sense now
How in the fuck could that possibly be seen as reactionary nonsense??? That’s quite concerning if that’s what the moderation is like on this community
Your Lemmy instance is censoring it
This one is already in the default
uBlock filters - Badware risks
I also strongly suggest adding https://big.oisd.nl/ as a filter list. It’s a large and well maintained domain blocklist (sourced from combining lots of other blocklists) that usually adds lots of these sorts of domains quickly and has very few false positives.
If you want to take it even further, check out the Pro list and Thread Intelligence Feeds list here https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists
These can all be added to a pihole too if you use one.
