I use it to (re)compress audiobooks, podcasts and such, they still sound very good at 32 kbps.
Fun fact, Opus has been supported by a hobby OS like MorphOS for years, my ancient hardware doesn't break a sweat playing it.

They don't want to get rid of workers because then there would be no consumers. No, they want to increase the downward pressure on wages so they can vacuum up further savings.

He does have a very Hans-off approach to writing music.

These days, the "suggested searches" are ads in the shape of searches of companies or products, many of which nobody ever heard of. Gone are the days of the genuine "other people searched for this." It was only a matter of time, I guess.

Can there really be an objective measurement? You should think first thing data harvesters would implement is a sort of cloak, to erase any traces of what's going on. Think Dieselgate, but more sophisticated. E.g. phone detects it's being tested the way you described, or is in the hands of a state attorney or whatever, the recording/ forwarding/ prcoessing of data stops.

Same here. Confidential discussion with lawyer/ doctor/ pharmacist, get extremely relevant ads at once. Therefore, I made it a habit to completely turn off my phone before entering such situations, and, if I can, put it in a switched-off microwave or some other Faraday cage structure, Snowden-style.

Yeah, you blew it again, anon. She was trying to give you a hint.
Plot twist: The therapist is also still a virgin... partially because she is only capable of giving third-rate hints like this one.

The "likes by dead people" story broke in 2012. Ever since, I've been assuming that most likes for the stuff I've been posting, especially from friends I've not talked to in many years, are inorganic and inauthentic. Still I post sometimes because I know a few people actually do care about what I'm up to and we don't meet very often at all. Of course, I strip all EXIF data from my photos first.
