I think that is preferred compared to the ludicrous amount of lobbyist money politicians receive for the corruption mess.

Which seem perfectly reasonable to me honestly. This all seem like a nothing issue when we have larger problems concerning things like planned obsolescence and no maintainability to deal with.

If my mom saw that on her phone she would call me and say her phone was exploding. Or go and buy a new phone.

Doing stuff behind the scenes is fine because people are ignorant and easily panic. But it should have been visible in the battery power menu or something.

Isn’t it just a web app/electron on windows anyway? I’ve run a whatsapp “client” on linux for years without problems.

Hard to describe since it’s literally called livetv… It uses the saint martin top level domain… ymmv

Don’t download their player obviously

Maybe he’s referring to that even if the source is 44.1/16-bit flac or wave (cd) the entire chain maybe isn’t. Maybe the firmware (android in this case) uses a fixed 48kHz sample rate which to me makes it sound a lot more dull. Maybe the dac in whatever is playing the flac file is objectively or subjectively worse than the one in the cd player (this matters a lot). Maybe the firmware doesn’t allow for exclusive access to the dac to whatever software is playing the flac file. A cd players is comparably simpler to program software for since it’s only made to do one thing which is to play one format at one sample rate and bit rate. That’s it.

Lossless sources doesn’t mean a lossfree playback chain from the software to the dac.

Except the bible doesn’t even say that so… It’s still full of other bullshit of course …

What point are you trying to make? That 9 is 14?

The father who’s up in the clouds somewhere looking down on us? That seem like a bullshit story if I ever saw one.

So that is a no then I take it?

I agree but as I try to not be an ignorant fool about stuff like a religious person would be I was surprised about that statement. Turned out the statement was a falsehood so…

Jesus married a 9 year old?

He was booted of that one with these new set of allegations wasn’t he?

Transcoding kills audio but whatever :)

So 128kbps transcoded to 96kbps? Seems like quite a significant price to pay, but whatever you’re happy with works for you :)

Russians? China? Plenty of shills all over the world etc.

Oh I don’t know, starting or popularising the trend of gluing the phone together, removing the 3.5mm jack, not adopting the standardised method for post-sms communication (rcs vs imessage) to name a few.

The other side is that they’ll also push back against good stuff for the consumer since everything they do is completely out of self interest.

And that’s fine, I’m just sad how that type of content has significantly marginalised original films and shows.

Or the 100th marvel movie and tv show or some member-berries star wars show.
