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.

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 noticed that federation here can be unstable lately - sometimes my comments will federate, and sometimes it won't.

An example of a comment I recently made that has not federated:

Might want to check the logs in case something's up. I don't think it's to do with the backend or whichever version it's using.

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.

For context, the MusicBrainz community has a thread for music downloads that are legally free, including name-your-price that's common on Bandcamp. I thought it'd be an interesting community that'd work here and across Lemmy. This sorta thing helped me discover new music I wouldn't have heard otherwise.

I'm posting some free/NYP releases I know of right now, but if you know of any music that fits the bill, do post it there! I'm going to give it time before I post it to New Communities on lemmy.world.

Interesting video from a lawyer, explaining the whole drama between Nintendo, Dolphin and Valve. It explains a lot of the current legal precedent really well, as well as how Nintendo and their lawyers crafted the cease and desist letter to Valve.

Been using Apple Music lately since the experience is better than Spotify in some places. Searched the community browsers, couldn't find anything, so I decided to start one here.

Is it odd that an Apple Music community is being hosted on a Linux-centric instance? Maybe. But hey, Android counts as Linux, right? :^)

Found a Spotify community but haven't found a community for Apple Music. I use both right now, so I decided to launch one on the instance I'm a part of.
