I like the fact that I’m not being fed some corporate algorithm.

Bluesky's entire appeal for me is that you can choose (or even create) your recommendation algorithm. Not only it's an amazing idea, it also works really well

What has been debunked was the whole story regarding MQA audio, which now they have abandoned. Now it is truly lossless

Yeah, on my good headphones the difference is quite noticeable

Re: tidal on Linux, if you use Arch there are a couple of options in the AUR. I don't know about other distros.

linux as a non supported web browser

I'm confused about this one, lol. I did not know that Linux was a browser rofl

I'll bash them if and when they'll start to do shitty stuff. For now they are great

They have recently changed that. Lossless is now part of the basic plan

Friendly reminder that Tidal costs the same, has a bigger catalog, does not pester you with podcasts, has lossless quality audio and it includes lyrics

Tidal has recently eliminated its most expensive plan and bundled everything it offered into the cheaper tier. So it's actually the opposite of enshittification. I love it

Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

Is this true? Where can I read more about it?

Copilot lists its sources. The problem is half of them are completely made up and if you click on the links they take you to the wrong pages

TL;DW?

My guess is that they've realized that nobody subscribed to the highest tier, so they've incorporated its features into the normal tier, hoping to make it up in volume (I.e. new people subscribing because it's cheap and it offers more than Spotify). So perhaps they are going to be able to pay artists the same rates
