I built it with meson and found the audio visualiser was listening to microphone audio rather than the music. Perhaps it's visualising microphone audio for you as well?

As much as it's dumb, many other places (such as Australia, where I live) are similar at this point.

I don't think Apple is concerned with making every app and game work on their systems to the same degree as a Linux distro. They have a niche they seem satisfied with and that niche isn't really Steam games.

With that being said, Valve made a 64 bit client for Mac so whichever major distro is first will probably push Valve to finally make a 64 bit version for Linux.

If you want something not Google, I used to have Ubuntu Touch on a Fairphone before Australia's 3G network was switched off. It would have to be an older Fairphone however.

I find it interesting how often articles come out about how good projects like Brightline West are before they're built. There's still plenty of time for more delays, budget overruns and further compromises. The original Brightline in Florida was meant to be the first high speed rail in the US, but after enough delays and increasing budgets they compromised on its speed. The Brightline model is better than nothing, but I'd hardly call better than nothing a model for us to emulate.

Some problems are legitimate, but honestly even if the Australian government cancelled the project and restarted following many of these recommendations, it would be even further away from completion, as we would have to wait years again for new plans to be drafted, and it still won't be built immediately. In my mind, it is better to commit to a slightly flawed plan than to constantly restart because we think of a better way, as we have been doing for years, decades.

The reason we're looking at Sydney to Newcastle is that people complained Sydney to Canberra was too expensive/difficult when that was last proposed, and that Sydney to Newcastle is easier and shorter. Grass is always greener on the other side.

Huh, I just got blank CDs yesterday.

I keep hearing that Cities Skylines II has constant bugfixes because each fix reveals new bugs. It's better, but still divisive. More people continue playing the original, according to Steam's statistics.

Mammals are just jealous of the long enlightened reign of the dinosaurs, and want to paint the previous dynasty in a bad light to justify usurping the throne.

Given how Paradox published (not in-house developed) games are increasingly Windows only I'm not surprised. I hope they eventually release a Linux version anyway, but it's probably not a huge deal with Proton being so good for single-player games.

Do you have a lot of files it might try to preview? I remember encountering similar loading times in my photos folder because it ties to load previews for every file.

I'm wondering if the cause and effect are the other way around, people that have trouble with noise (such as people with APD) might want noise cancelling headphones. The rise in cases of APD might indicate otherwise, but with the information provided, it sounds like it might be under-diagnosed anyway.

The first thing many people used to assume is that if you had any problems with listening, you might be somewhat deaf. APD and other difficulties listening definitely aren't deafness, but I wonder if there is increased awareness of other reasons why someone might have difficulty understanding speech.

It's nice to see someone who used to be so deep into the Adobe ecosystem was finally able to switch over. I hear that it used to be considered practically impossible unless you weren't already in very deep. As a result, many people simply said they wouldn't consider Linux unless Adobe products supported Linux.

The fact that he's proven Adobe doesn't have a stranglehold anymore gives me hope that we'll be seeing more and more people migrating as software supporting Linux gets better.
