@unfa the same thing happens with ebook readers, you need to connect to a wifi and register account just to open-up the "browse books" section / skip the tutorial.
the whole thing has a bunch of analytics built-in so they can know as much stuff about you as possible, so they can try to sell you books through their built-in store.

luckily it is possible to hack the device by connecting to the PC and editing a DB file. thus never connecting to a wifi.

yes really annoying, and it is everywhere!

Been doing some tests regarding audio latency in browsers, with intention of lowering it for realtime use.

The results are not so great...
github.com/falkTX/webaudio-lat

WIP, have some ideas still on things to try.

PS: Yes I did try WebRTC as well, but that doesn't matter for these tests yet because I am still running everything locally.

Apparently this is what happens when you mistankenly have a while loop on a realtime function...

System is locked up yes. Maybe SSH still works so I can kill my rogue tool.. worst case sys rq reisub to the rescue...

Lockups happen sometimes while testing, but didnt expect for it affect graphics 😱

@falktx
In this case, the matrix bridge helps a lot imo. Matrix users appear as bots in discord, this sometimes start a conversion about matrix among discord users. Another thing to keep in mind is to never promote such platforms - in the above message, he could've at least mentioned matrix and talk about discord as a second option. I don't know what he himself use, but its better to be on a FOSS platform, so that his followers see him use it and maybe decides to join.

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club the "polished experience" was missing though..

so out of those 3, it was clear which was more important.

@futureisfoss fair enough. but feels very odd (to say the least) to be asking people to join such platforms.

it is a tricky situation... as a developer I do not want to promote or even tolerate abusive choices from some platforms. yet 99% of people are on there.
it sets a bad example for others in my view, where it can easily lead to the impression that these platform practices are tolerable.
so while we purposefully avoid those places, how do we reach their people at the same time? we can't :(

Surprise, JACK output support for FFmpeg.
so we can receive audio from rtp, udp, pulse, alsa, whatever else and redirect straight to jack \o/

@wolftune interesting. it worries me reading:

> If those fumes are not vented outside the house, they linger and sneak into lungs

is this (not having air vents) a common issue in america or something?

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club @Linux4Everyone matrix seems to be the best place to be right now yes

hope their IRC bridge keeps working for many years 🖥️

@Linux4Everyone it is not gatekeeping to want open-source, privacy-respecting tools for the community.
might as well be on facebook then, it has the largest amount of users possible.

as someone who cares about my own privacy, sorry but services like those are abhorrent.

on an alternative POV.. what about all the people that are not ok with discord ToS? they can't join your community.

@Linux4Everyone please do not use Discord for FOSS things, it is really promoting bad practices...

getting really hard to avoid now :(

It is 2021 and Signal is still not on f-droid. Devs prefer to recommend using Google services or download the apk manually.

This is insane, right?

(for reference, just look up "fdroid" on the signal-android bug tracker... it is a mess)
