I like the fact that I’m not being fed some corporate algorithm.

Bluesky’s entire appeal for me is that you can choose (or even create) your recommendation algorithm. Not only it’s an amazing idea, it also works really well

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

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?

You don’t know the Verge, perhaps

This is just a good news and they are reporting it as such
