1440p at regular monitor size is probably all you'd need, but the annoying issue is that 1080p content looks worse on that than it does on a 1080p monitor

Every Chinese brand has done this, including OnePlus (Nord), so I guess Carl Pei knows why they do it and why it works

I prefer dns.adguard.com so you get pretty decent dns-level adblock too

If you want a serious answer, you could theoretically disable all security checks on Win11 so you could hex-edit patch it to run, but it would be (1) a lot of effort and (2) probably show that it's nowhere near finished, because it still misses UI integration for example

Tidal, Qobuz, NetEase Cloud Music, Deezer, Apple Music

Everything you mentioned is garbage

YouTube is absolutely unacceptable quality. The difference is clearly audible even on $5 earbuds. I feel sorry for your ears if you don't hear the difference, but the vast majority of those who care enough to download music will be able to tell the difference.

I personally pay for Deezer HiFi and save the FLACs locally. Friends mostly do the same with Tidal, but both work well for this purpose.

If you want to find FLACs without paying for a service you can check out rutracker. It has torrents for discographies from a lot of famous artists. Alternatively, you could find a stolen account for one of the previously mentioned services, but that goes too far for my morals because you're hurting a normal person with a hacked account.

If you learn how an encoder works you can compress the FLAC into whatever format you prefer yourself. I highly recommend 256kbps AAC using Apple's encoder (specifically that encoder, other AAC encoders are much worse) but you can also do VBR MP3 in any bitrate you want. Plus, if you keep the FLACs in archive, you can re-compress them later to a better format if one is developed.

It's good to know how to rip the opus without reencoding from YouTube but please don't use this as your primary source of music

for it to get mainstream

It will never get more mainstream than this.

Lineage has been the go-to ROM that beat every other ROM in active users by one or more orders of magnitude since the beginning of Android. Everyone that cares a little bit about custom ROMs knows what Lineage is, and if they don't they will recognize its previous name CyanogenMod.

Average users are never going to care about custom ROMs because it's not worth the effort for them, so why would you care about making LOS more mainstream?

Amir ,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

I never said I didn't want it to get popular, I just think there's no point in trying to spread the word about its existence... because the problem is not in people knowing about its existence. The problem is that most average phone users will not find it worth the effort to switch to LOS, with the risks that come with it (banking apps not working half the time, upgrades sometimes needing a data wipe).

Can we just remove “edited” from the UI if the edit was within X minutes of the original post?

Nowadays with SafetyNet hardware checks it’s a dangerous game to rely on that.

How did they measure this?

There’s no longer an easy way to disable transparency, you have to make a custom theme and then set alpha to 255

They could at least use A13, there’s no excuse for releasing with A12 weeks before A14 is out

Should I pre-order or wait?

Hey everyone, I’ve been excited for the pixel 8 lineup for quite a while and followed every leak that came through. And now that pre-orders come bundled with a watch, I’m really tempted to place one. But here in the UK, the prices feel especially crushing. So my question is, is it worth getting this bundle now or wait for a...

If you either want the accessoires or can sell them for close to the retail price it’s a good deal.

I’m early to the daily Konsi post :o

It signifies that more Konsis is strongly correlated with more Lemmy activity, so we need more Konsi comics (Konmics?)

So long... I'll not be returning ( lemmy.ml )

I’ve used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

Related in the sense that they’re both common techniques in capitalism. You can use one without the other just fine. EEE can only be applied by market leaders, enshittification hits all (public) companies on the capitalist market.
