How much of your life have you degoogled? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've degoogled my life as much as I can, but it's almost impossible to completely ditch Google Maps, YouTube, and Android. So I'm not even sure I've done anything significant, because I assume they get pretty much everything from my phone.

Which audio codec to choose? in c/[email protected]

I'd love to have everything in FLAC for preservation's sake, but I've settled for Apple's QAAC. Great quality, small size, universally supported.

ELI5: Would it be possible for a "fediverse" app to exist? in c/[email protected]

Closest thing I know is Fedilab, which works with Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed and Friendica. While compatible with each other, each fediverse service uses different parts and features of ActivityPub (the protocol they all share). It's technically possible to build an app that does it all, but doesn't really sound sensible.

Downgrading FLAC albums to 320kbps in c/[email protected]

I suggest you convert them to AAC with Apple's excellent QAAC encoder instead. fre:ac can do it just fine once you add the encoder. Much better and more modern format than MP3, and still universally playable.
