  • Can’t you accept that someone who knows what they’re taking about might have a different opinion than you? Bluetooth bitrate is once again a non issue for most situations. Unless you’re listening to lossless audio (e: or the headphones are stuck in headset mode) Bluetooth has a higher bitrate than what you’re listening to. And I’d argue with most headphones you hit the limits of the hardware way before you hit any bitrate limitations still. (Edit: what I meant is, if the hardware is capable of delivering better sound quality than what standard codecs can support the manufacturer will then include higher quality codecs)

    I didn’t know streaming services didn’t have audio latency settings, that doesn’t sound ideal. Latency is very situational in how much it matters to different people with different content (game streaming is a thing) so I’d still not write bluetooth off, but if it does bother you do use wired headphones




  • Either you never used a good wireless headphone or a bad wired one. Sure the best wired headphones might have higher quality than the best wireless ones but that’s once again not something everyone will have lying around. In my personal experience every set of wired earbuds / headphones I’ve used (stuff my parents had lying around and ones bought for / gifted to me) sounded worse than all but one pair of wireless ones I’ve used.

    Latency does not matter with audio and can be compensated for with video. Only place it would matter is gaming and even some of those might offer compensation options. Not to dismiss that it might be the decisive factor for some people but it hardly applies to everyone.












  • I’ve been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn’t a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.

    Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it’s worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.

    I don’t use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason

    It was an example. Check my comment history if you want, it should be somewhere in there and yes it was applauded. There are lots of people that are economically / fanatically leftist but aren’t progressive, especially here on Lemmy.

    If being uneducated overrode political affiliation Trump supporters wouldn’t be right wingers neither
