Yeah one person can do only limited (at least constructive) change. And that likely takes time, but also consider generational shift. I think it's very likely the dems will slowly (depending on AOCs popularity, faster) shift more progressive. Let's hope the democratic system isn't entirely degraded till then, and Trump get's less popular as well.

So just bury the head in the sand and let the world (or at least US) collapse (i.e. uncontrolled climate change, entire degradation of the social system to capitalism)?

As audiophile as I am (own very expensive (> 1k) headphones for instance) and additionally I'm musician/producer.

I don't think you can hear the difference between 320kbit bitrate vs flac in a blindtest (this is important, to avoid biasing yourself). I could notice what was a 128kbit mp3 and flac in a blindtest and already that was minimal (and is likely mostly related to the 16k cut-off of 128kbit mp3), but 320kbit, nope...

If you notice a difference it likely has to do with different mastering/LUFS etc. not the compression artifacts themself.

I recommend ad-blockers (ublock origin), I haven't seen ads in like years on my devices.

Or millenia, if at all...

They were quite accurate the last few elections though... Maybe 1% off, but that's it.

Yeah it's sad that LG didn't maintain that niche of high quality DAC jack phones. Also still stuck with my V30...

Like not get what you've got?

But it's difficult to get a decent phone with a jack these days, that's true...

I know a lot of people that lost their headphones, I don't have that issue.

Also I'm a musician with pretty good custom IEMs. I have to use a very energy hungry external DAC (and while that I can't easily charge), if I wouldn't still have a jack (with a very good DAC)

My main issue with external DACs is how fast they drain my battery...

Don't say ever, the democrats still need to win elections... (that is that there are still elections that mean anything...)

So I guess it means now, that if you're still undiagnosed in the US (and suspect to be autistic), better don't let yourself diagnose... Sad times...
