LoL, same. I didn’t even know a problem existed til I opened up Lemmy this morning. 😂

Exactly, not clownish at all.

I guess i know what my next year’s phone is gonna be.

Shouldn’t the images be in reverse order?

What “trusted” platform? Google play store? Their rules are lax as all fuck. And if you download an app from a reputable company and it has malware in it you have the Better Business Bureau to turn to. Otherwise buyer beware, scammers exist.

The difference isn’t actually in the operating system. iOS is just as vulnerable to such things. The difference is in how the app store is run. Apple locks down there app store so that it’s much more difficult to get malicious apps added. Google is extremely less thorough. Which is one of the reason many of us choose Android. When you choose more freedom the price is more vigilance is necessary to secure yourself and your phone.

Yes that’s why you verify the safety and security of the apps you’re installing on your phone and don’t just go, “ooo, this looks cool, let’s download it and try it out”. This is especially true if you are installing FOSS apps.

This worked 100%

Now I just need to find a way to build in an audio delay for the bluetooth device. 😅

So, I’m finally able to tackle this. Do i need pavucontrol? I’m trying to avoid installing any pulseaudio components.

That’s the point. If your business has to create a mountain of un-recyclable trash in order to thrive, it should absolutely fail.

Yeah, if you could post your setup that would be great. I think it would give me a better idea of how things work. Though, my goal is to consolidate sources to multiple outputs not to separate them.

Oooo, Helvum looks like what I’m trying for. Thanks! Do you know if i can use flatpak on an Ubuntu/Debian based system? Or does it only work on Arch based?

Oh no… Anyway, anyone got a fix for dual audio on Linux Mint.

I wanna output to 2 devices (one is HDMI TV and the other is Bluetooth) at once and pipewire isn’t accommodating me. I’m hesitant to go screwing around with pulseaudio cause I tried that on a previous build and things went badly.

I managed to get an all devices audio output inserted into the pipewire.conf but the only sound that comes out is from the TV and not the bluetooth speaker.

I don’t really expect an answer here but if you could point me to the forum or instance that might have answers would be appreciated.

I used this page to do the code insert.

~~https://thecodeninja.net/2024/06/pipewire-combined-sink/~~ nevermind, the site seems to have 404’d itself in the last minute or so.

Or, just realize that simply having a famous name like yours doesn’t make people automatically want to shell out $30+ a person to watch whatever slop you’ve decided to star in.

This right here is the biggest barrier for me. I have so many authentication keys that I need that are on my Android devices and I have no idea how to transfer them to something else.

I cannot seem to find any verification that any of this is happening. An OPs link is dead.

So, you’re into sadism as well as masochism.

Not Americans, American media which is all completely controlled by oligarchs.

Downvoted because this isn’t news. It’s clickbaity nonsense which has no bearing on anything real.

Pretty much all the out rage was on Twitter and Twitter is 90% bots so this is a big fat DUH!
