mateomaui, (edited ) to piracy in Converting opus files to mp3

Can probably use Audacity. May need to install a ffmpeg plugin first to read the opus files, then:

goto Tools > Apply Macro > Palette…

select “MP3 Conversion”

then click “Files…” to choose your files and it should start a batch process.

Before that, probably go to Edit > Preferences > Directories and change the entry for “Macro output” to a custom folder so it’s easy to find. (note: the instructions on that settings page says to leave a field blank to use the last directory, but that’s not the case for macro output, definitely set a custom location for that.)

edit: also a good method for converting FLAC if there’s a need for it

mateomaui, to linux in Why are gnome devs like this?

cum frappuccinos

I’ll be leaving the office too.

mateomaui, to linuxmemes in Noticed Edge was the default browser

Shouldn’t you lose your linux membership card for something like this?

mateomaui, to news in 'Trump Bucks’ promise wealth for MAGA loyalty. Some lose thousands.

“Now I realize, well, that was stupid,” she said. “But I bought them because I believed President Trump, because he knows all about finance, and he was going to help the real Trump Patriots get rich.”

Admits to being stupid and then exercises more of it.

mateomaui, to lemmy_support in Bug: people are posting paywalls & other exclusive walled gardens

At the time I couldn’t be bothered to respond to most of this reply of yours, because your responses were too ignorant to take seriously, but since you’re still arguing about this, and that other moronic post where you complain about devs, someone should tell you that this line you replied with here

Stop trying to speak for everyone and impose your idea of “bad” on people.

is a hilarious example of a total lack of self awareness, as this entire post of yours is trying to speak for others and impose your definition of what a “bad” link is on everyone else.

But keep on being an idiot. You apparently cannot code anything you want done, but feel like your contribution of providing criticism is somehow equal to the work of the devs who actually built the software before you came along. It’s just entitled stupidity to think they work for you or that you’re equal to them in any way.

Not to mention that your arguments regarding fair use and letting archive.org lead the way should flag you as a potential very expensive liability for every instance admin who cannot afford a copyright battle. It’s easy to thumb your nose at potential problems when you’re not actually in charge of or responsible for anything.

btw, I’m on a downvote-disabled server, so none of those you’re getting are from me.

mateomaui, to lemmy_support in Bug: people are posting paywalls & other exclusive walled gardens

uh huh

mateomaui, to lemmy_support in Bug: people are posting paywalls & other exclusive walled gardens

fallacy: all paywalled links are bad

I’ll let someone else continue this, I’ve made my argument well enough already.

mateomaui, (edited ) to lemmy_support in Bug: people are posting paywalls & other exclusive walled gardens

You just identified the fallacy yourself.

Sometimes a paywalled source is the first to report on something. Calling that link a bad link is nonsense.

90+% of the time, using reader mode will bypass paywalls anyway.

Many people don’t know all the websites to redirect things through without that, so calling their contribution “bad” just because they posted that link isn’t the greatest.

It’s not even like it’s that big an issue, because usually someone else comes along that provides an alt link in the replies, so saying that this is a social failure is also ridiculous, because both were provided between two people.

Also, the notion that you or anyone else is socially filtering non-misinformation news sources from the rest of us, because you don’t see the value in it, or cannot figure out how to bypass the paywall yourself, isn’t all that great either.

edit: it’s also worth pointing out that if some people contributing links happen to be subscribers to a news source, as a subscriber they won’t necessarily know that a certain article is paywalled for everyone else, until they share it and someone who isn’t a subscriber gets the notice.

mateomaui, to lemmy_support in Bug: people are posting paywalls & other exclusive walled gardens

The inherent fallacy in your argument is that a link is a “bad” link simply because it goes to an original source instead of always being redirected to you via a third party that circumvents what you don’t like.

If someone posts a link to a original non-misinformation news article and it gets marked as a “bad” link, that’s actually a bug.

mateomaui, to mildlyinteresting in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

“Why did I lose a full grade here?”

“You didn’t learn your lesson.”

mateomaui, to mildlyinteresting in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

True. I didn’t openly question things in that class too much for some reason, but I definitely got in trouble for being argumentative in other classes.

Have to wonder how many more of us thought it didn’t make any sense, but didn’t push back because adults said it was so and it was in the textbooks.

mateomaui, (edited ) to mildlyinteresting in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

Your reply is nonsense. AlI said is that I didn’t see the documentary, and clearly indicated that my long since corrected personal misunderstanding about such a thing was directly due to a childhood video game. If you or others insist on being ignorant douches about that, I can’t stop you.

mateomaui, to mildlyinteresting in I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

I actually do understand the point, my responses now are specifically to annoy know-it-all assholes who insist I don’t get it.
