  • Very strange… So it sounds like you’re using whatever the default file manager is for your desktop, there really isn’t any reason the filesystem type would make things that much slower. Something must be very different about your system to be slowing transfers down that much.

    I would use iotop to see how much data is being written, where, and what speeds it’s getting but if you prefer a graphical version of that maybe “system monitor” is available to you in gnome or whatever desktop you use. You’ve probably already tested other drives I guess, maybe try just booting a fresh live USB of something and see if the problem persists there too.



  • Im curious What makes what VLC is doing qualify as artificial intelligence instead of just an automated transcription plugin?

    Automated transcription software has been around for decades, I totally understand getting in on the ai hype train but i guess I’m confused as to if software from years past like “dragon naturally speaking” or Shazam are also LLMs that predate openAI or is how those services worked to identify things different from how modern llms work?



  • How is simplex going to turn a profit for the people who’ve currently invested in it? This is why things get enshittified, they have vulture capitalists helping them start out and no one thinks about it till one day it comes time to pay the piper and features start getting broken, ads get shoveled in, and unless enough money is generated the app will eventually fail.

    I hope simplex finds a way to go non profit, until then I can’t trust their business model to not shift in the future.


  • What’s wrong with Opus and flac? I’ve never understood this whole lossy audio format wars when none of them offer anything besides a bizzword salad of “features” that maybe a handful of audiophiles might pretend they can notice.

    “3D sound” ooh sounds fancy! I remember my boombox in the 90s had a feature with the same. Have they run out of Buzzwords or somthing… 3d, VR, HDR, I swear they’ve been reinventing the same shit for 30 years.
