It’s an open source codec. I convert from FLAC (lossless) to Opus (lossy), I couldn’t hear much if any difference between FLAC and 128kbits opus, your mileage may vary, but it saves me 10x space, very useful for a big library on an SD card compared to lossless.

I’ve converted my music library to opus and it’s all offline, on my phone and PC. It’s the only way to listen to some things that get caught in licensing hell, and that’s only going to get worse over time.

Isn’t Starwind the Star Wars mod for OpenMW?

Me, using arch and fedora 40 beta, just ignoring it

Works for me through Heroic Launcher

I use flatpaks on my desktop all the time, no issue with storage space. But my laptop with only 128gb SSD starts sweating.

I honestly thought this was how it always worked…seems like a good thing if they’re at least appearing to not track people who aren’t signed in, especially since in every other way they will try to get your data fighting tooth and claw. (Not saying they aren’t tracking habits of non account users though)

Klassic

If your Mac is that old, throw Linux on it and make it look like a Mac, profit?

Ooh “under fire” what’s next, they’re going to get “slammed”? That’ll show em.

Yes you can add extensions to Firefox mobile, I recommend Ublock Origin

I’ve been using more and more flatpaks lately on arch and fedora based distros, i have no idea how snaps compare but seems similar? Seems an odd push from Ubuntu, but could make more sense than deb packages for non techy users perhaps?

Is a think tank like the thought police?

Everyone I know pretty much uses fb messenger exclusively, it’s the only reason I still have it. If there was a reliable way to hook into messenger from another app I’d switch in a second, but still the reliance on messenger is there.

Remind me of that scene in The Dark Knight when Lucius Fox has all the screens with all the data from every smartphone around.

I use arch (EndeavourOS btw) with gnome. KDE always gives me weird graphical glitches and problems that only get resolved with a reboot, got tired of it.

looks great, is there any easy way to get it working in Linux with OpenMW? modding morrowind can be a bit…finicky lol

Literally just installed Morrowind and OpenMW through lutris tonight. Looks like I’ll have this update to look forward to though!

Laughs in Endeavour
