Ogg at lower bitrates sounded better than mp3 at the same rate. Consumers dont care, but for a lot of game developers the zero patent risk and higher quality shipping with smaller files made Ogg a great choice at the time.

For me? FLACs are the only way.... which reminds me, I wonder I can still convert all the SHN (shorten) lossless files I still have. I should get on that before a converter doesn't exist.

While right on a lot of things, how was windows not shitty from the beginning?

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I am using both in arch and fedora, depends on what I am trying to do. But I don't think I have ran into having to use flatpacks in fedora. But I am sure there must be some packages they no longer maintain.

I am really surprised how up to date Fedora is. The frequency is rather surprising. I have Arch on a desktop and Fedora on a laptop and the default kernel is only a step behind. Gimp was set as 3 for months now on Fedora which also was a surprise.

Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn't have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.

I joined an instance, I discovered some people who posted some cool pictures and so I added them to my feed.

Maybe try dropping the instance you started with?

I gotta say I am rather meh about it, but that isn't pixelfeeds fault. I just dont really care to see people posting random shit online.

But I gotta try so I can explain it to people who do because so many businesses (usually small artists) feel they can't leave Instagram because they don't know where else to market, and their followers won't leave because the business is there.

I can't recommend change without experiencing it so I can help support it.

I see freerdp. Does it have multi monitor support for wayland yet?

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.

I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don't bother trying.

I am all for Wayland though, don't get me wrong.

Not yet. Still too many broken and unusable things in Wayland. Sadly.

Yes, I think for new users that is very confusing. I find that somewhat confusing and I think I have an idea what's going on.

Pixelfed is federated, an account can be made with Mastodon to log into different servers. But it seems different from lemmy in that joining one instance doesn't seem to provide you with a method to view other instances and pick and choose as part of your feed. I think some people find that confusing. Any comments on that?
