AFAIK it's being worked on but time is a major issue for the person handling the MR.

I'd love to donate specifically to get Virtio/VirGL on a Windows guest. Given that VirtualBox and VMware could be on very shaky ground thanks to their owners, I think libvirt will be the long-term solution.

Not applicable to AMD, and device passthrough can be clunky and not worth it if the user isn't doing anything that GPU-intensive.

Yeah I got a headphone dongle for my phone. Cider 2 is still nice though, 256kbps AAC (whether CBR or VBR) is fine for most people, and it seems to stay in that bitrate.

I'd think so, otherwise it would've been dropped by a lot of the major distros by now. They don't have a specific community like the XFCE forums, though they do have a dedicated wiki.

Teya & Salena represented Austria in Eurovision last year with "Who the Hell is Edgar?", it was written from the perspective of wanting to be taken seriously in the industry, veiled through a fun song about being possessed by the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, though the bridge gets quite blatant and singles out Spotify for not paying its artists properly. It was one of the favourites in the Eurovision community last year and I think it would've done better had the Finland vs. Sweden rivalry not happened.

I was able to get lossless back then. It's a matter of enabling fake_wifi for the app in Waydroid. You have to play a track for it to activate, but that's also a bug I've experienced on my actual phone.

I'd say try Void in a virtual machine if you have that itch. It should run fine on libvirt setups or VMware.

I would say use a cross-platform password manager that supports it in that case. Bitwarden, 1Password and Enpass all have Linux versions and support TOTP, and in the case of Enpass, it has local wifi sync so none of it goes to them. I get that moving 2FA codes to that can be time-consuming, though.

Used to use it for Apple Music but Cider 2 does what I want now, especially since Apple started locking down AM on rooted devices (of which Waydroid basically is) for no good reason.

Has Virtiofs matured lately into something that can be used day-to-day? I ask because I think the virtio stuff will be better for Windows virtualisation in the long-term, especially when VMware's future is not certain, but I heard folder-sharing on Windows guests was pretty bad from Lemmy recently, and a few years ago I tried it and yeah, I have to agree.

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 5 months ago

Some companies are alright with this but yeah there's always a catch with Apple.

 

Even during the botched launch of Cyberpunk 2077, this is a really great song. I still need to watch Edgerunners.

 

Amazing cover of Jenny Silver's Melodifestivalen entry. I like the "modern ABBA" sound they went for rather than going full electro house synths like the original, it makes it sound timeless in a way.

~~could I get away with posting this on the Eurovision communities~~

This isn't so much an Arch issue (For what it's worth, this also happened on Nobara) but rather a Pipewire issue but I wonder if anyone's had this issue as well as me...

Running Arch on linux-zen (to fulfill Waydroid's binder requirement), on a Ryzen 7950X, motherboard has a Realtek ALC4080, connected via USB (yes it's still an internal sound chip).

Basically, after any prolonged use, I would get a lot of stuttering. It got particularly bad when I was running MusicBrainz Picard while listening to something in VLC, but it will happen often, and constantly.

I've tried setting my default output to the headphones, no dice. Also tried some workarounds from the Arch Wiki, specifically disabling suspend. Still happens. Adding headroom errored out Wireplumber.

Anyone had this and if so, have they been able to fix it?

Edit: I'll probably have to check if it's a kernel thing. I've just done some intensive tasks (i.e. installing Gentoo in a virtual machine) and the cutoffs come back. I remember Arch having something on the Wiki about that.

 

I've been trying out Bluesky for nearly two weeks now thanks to a friend of mine who gave me an invite code. For context, it's basically an alternative social network platform that was initially part of Twitter but broke off after management changed from Jack Dorsey. There's a lot about it I could talk about, including its long-term plans for federation like we have on the fediverse and how barebones the official client is, but the Taylor Swift community is probably not the best place for that. :p

Anyhow, Kamu decided to show the growth of the furry community on Bluesky, but one thing that was of note is the Brazilian supercluster. It's basically larger and more tightly-knit than most of the other non-English language clusters, and according to Kamu, one of the reasons for its growth? Taylor Swift. One of the earliest Bluesky communities were the Brazilian Swifties, and they were very effective at organising.

Let me know if I should move this elsewhere, but I think it'd fit here and you lot here might enjoy this. I don't know about Bluesky's reputation amongst the ActivityPub fediverse, but I think this is a neat little tidbit to post here either way.

 

In the MusicBrainz community, there's a thread for posting music that is available legally as a free download, or in the case of Bandcamp, name your price. I've used these sort of releases to help find new and interesting music to get into, and I thought that'd make an interesting community here for that reason.

I am aware that some communities for free (as in libre) music exist, in this community here there's no strict requirement that it has to be libre, though you can still post them.

I've posted some of my contributions from the thread to start things off.

I don't know I found out about this but a while ago I found out Depeche Mode had a remix of ETS by Mike Shinoda, during the days of Meteora it sounds like, judging by the wispy Numb-like synths. Both Depeche Mode and Linkin Park are two acts I really like, and I think this is an amazing remix. Definitely does the original justice.

 

All around a great drum'n'bass album.

 

As someone whose part of my love for music started from listening to this sort of music through keygens and later through watching demoscene productions when I was younger, I think this is a great video on tracker music and its history.

 

A neat French indie-synthpop album by Belgian duo Blondy Brownie.
