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’re probably better off using dedicated websites for each site you need to download videos from.

They are usually ridden with ads, but it’s not a problem if you use uBlock Origin or similar addons

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

TL;DW?

My guess is that they’ve realized that nobody subscribed to the highest tier, so they’ve incorporated its features into the normal tier, hoping to make it up in volume (I.e. new people subscribing because it’s cheap and it offers more than Spotify). So perhaps they are going to be able to pay artists the same rates

No, there is what Tidal calls “HiRes FLAC”, which is 24-bit, 192 kHz. Their website does not even mention MQA anymore. They’ve moved away from MQA since early 2023, when the MQA company went bankrupt

I guess people who also like YT premium

It does sound clickbait-y and I guess that’s why there are butthurt people in the comments. I guess its meaning is “literally everyone is raising prices, while Tidal is lowering them”. TBF I also had to read the title again because it’s pretty strange to see prices decrease

Hey, at least we agree on something lol

So you’re talking out of your ass. Got it

Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:

• Tidal is changing its subscriptions plans
• They are now cheaper
• That’s pretty unique since literally everyone else on the planet is increasing prices, not lowering them

How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?

Qobuz has the most beautiful and serious-looking UI I’ve tried, I really love it. But I had to stop using it because there is no lyrics integration and some of my favorite (admittedly obscure) music was not there. But the UI is spectacular, especially on desktop.

Tidal’s interface is simply good, nothing more and nothing less, and it’s a more mature product overall with more features
