Engy is a relaxing class only if you play on Capture the flag. The other modes are pretty stressful lol. But yeah, I usually also go for the Engy. Scout if I feel particularly adventurous, sometimes Sniper on 2Fort. Spy intrigues me but I'm just not able to use it, I'm a disaster.

What has been debunked was the whole story regarding MQA audio, which now they have abandoned. Now it is truly lossless

Yeah, on my good headphones the difference is quite noticeable

Re: tidal on Linux, if you use Arch there are a couple of options in the AUR. I don't know about other distros.

linux as a non supported web browser

I'm confused about this one, lol. I did not know that Linux was a browser rofl

I'll bash them if and when they'll start to do shitty stuff. For now they are great

They have recently changed that. Lossless is now part of the basic plan

Friendly reminder that Tidal costs the same, has a bigger catalog, does not pester you with podcasts, has lossless quality audio and it includes lyrics

Tidal has recently eliminated its most expensive plan and bundled everything it offered into the cheaper tier. So it's actually the opposite of enshittification. I love it

You can also use their DNS server without having to install anything

OK I read the bandcamp thing and... It's not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?

Just in case:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

None of those things happened with Bandcamp

Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

Is this true? Where can I read more about it?

Copilot lists its sources. The problem is half of them are completely made up and if you click on the links they take you to the wrong pages

 

Yes, it looks like a dumb question, but hear me out.

I've recently discovered that, for babies, it's normal to sleep in sleeping bags. They can either look like this (not great, with the arms out) or... - prepare for what you're about to see - like this.

Now - how awesome must that feel? Naturally, my fist instinct was to look up sleeping bags like that for grownups. Unfortunately, they apparently do not exist. I can only find the usual sleeping bags that are used for camping etc., which are all made of that horrible, plasticky, noisy material.

So my question is twofold: do "home sleeping bags" for adults exist? And, if not, WHY?

 

I'm a longtime This Week in Tech listener and I've realized that downloading the new episode every Monday morning has become a habit I could never imagine quitting.

As I was thinking about that, I've started wondering which other tech podcasts are people listening to, and if that's second nature for them, too.

So, what's your favorite technology podcast? (And why should I start listening to it? I would love some recommendations!)

I've been using AdGuard's DNS resolver on my Android phone for a couple of months, and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

The idea is that it filters out ad networks at the DNS level, so there is no need to root the phone (nor to install any app). You just put dns.adguard-dns.com in your "private DNS" settings and that's it.

Recently, though, I've seen a couple of people around here mentioning how Adguard is not trustworthy, or "kinda shady". What's your take on them? Their privacy policy seems OK to me, but I'd be interested to know more about them.
