It's an open source codec. I convert from FLAC (lossless) to Opus (lossy), I couldn't hear much if any difference between FLAC and 128kbits opus, your mileage may vary, but it saves me 10x space, very useful for a big library on an SD card compared to lossless.

I've converted my music library to opus and it's all offline, on my phone and PC. It's the only way to listen to some things that get caught in licensing hell, and that's only going to get worse over time.

I honestly thought this was how it always worked...seems like a good thing if they're at least appearing to not track people who aren't signed in, especially since in every other way they will try to get your data fighting tooth and claw. (Not saying they aren't tracking habits of non account users though)

If your Mac is that old, throw Linux on it and make it look like a Mac, profit?

Ooh "under fire" what's next, they're going to get "slammed"? That'll show em.

Yes you can add extensions to Firefox mobile, I recommend Ublock Origin

I've been using more and more flatpaks lately on arch and fedora based distros, i have no idea how snaps compare but seems similar? Seems an odd push from Ubuntu, but could make more sense than deb packages for non techy users perhaps?

Everyone I know pretty much uses fb messenger exclusively, it's the only reason I still have it. If there was a reliable way to hook into messenger from another app I'd switch in a second, but still the reliance on messenger is there.

Remind me of that scene in The Dark Knight when Lucius Fox has all the screens with all the data from every smartphone around.

looks great, is there any easy way to get it working in Linux with OpenMW? modding morrowind can be a bit...finicky lol

Literally just installed Morrowind and OpenMW through lutris tonight. Looks like I'll have this update to look forward to though!
