While playing and someone is using their microphone to talk, my own headphones quality drops at the point that my game sounds like someone is talking through a tunnel, and I didn't even using my own mic, I'm just listening to their mic through some game channel or platform.

Another example is while I'm on some Teams meeting, my overall audio goes to shit even if I'm just listening...

I have read some older posts on Reddit that says that this happens because Bluetooth headphones with included mic cannot handle well both communications and they have to lower all the audio in order to keep the stability, but there's really no another way to fix this other than buying wired headphones or using an external mic? It sounds dumb to me, I just don't want to use my mic, why in the first place is my own PC/Headphone deciding when lower quality just because someone else is chatting through their mic?

Edit: I'm using Sennheiser Accentum Plus

I don't need anyone to tell me that Facebook sucks because I already know that, and I would never use it unless in my country, for reasons unknown to me, public and private institutions use Facebook as a primary method of sharing news, such as schedules or promotions.

I don't have the slightest intention of creating a Facebook account, but as I said, I need to see posts from certain Facebook accounts and every time I go to a Facebook page and scroll for 2 seconds I get a pop-up forcing me to create an account. And as far as I know, there is no sort of Piped front-end for Facebook, I would appreciate any help.

When I use my GPS app or I want to use my Bluetooth headphones I need to turn on those services, but only in those scenarios, once I'm done using them I don't want them to be always on, is there a way to automatically turn them off is they are not being used?

I tried Tasker but the "Turn off Bluetooth if not being used" profile wasn't working at all.

So I got a 180hz monitor and installed Sway (Garuda Linux) in my new machine, the only problem I have is that I can unlock my FPS for the PC as a whole using the display software that comes with Garuda, but not specifically for games or full screen programs. I don't want to use Firefox at 180hz, I just want my games to run at the maximum refresh rate my monitor can handle.

Thanks.

I used them when they were released a while ago for the nightly version of Firefox, and actually in the stable channel we are in Firefox 130 and still no vertical tabs, does anyone know an aproximate version when they will be available for the stable channel?

I have already Googled about this but didn't find a solution, maybe someone else here has experienced this too? And to add some more details, I use ArcoLinux and I had already toggle 'Close button should minimize Spotify Window'.

Thank you!

I have been investigating if there is a community dedicated to Photon (a great Lemmy front-end) that doesn't seem to have an exclusive option to search for communities, does anyone know if there is an exclusive community for Photon (or Lemmy front-ends in general)?

I really want to try Filen as my main cloud provider but my main brake point is that the app doesn't automatically upload my images in the background. I'm not sure if this is because I'm on the free plan or because of my device, has anyone had better luck with the automatic image upload in the background?

Thoughts about Posteo? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've thinking about ditching my Protonmail email address with Posteo since I need IMAP support (because I hate using the Protonmail app) and honestly paying for Proton Mail Plus didn't worth the money because they are pushing me to buy the Protonmail Unlimited but I don't need all those capabilities nor would I use them and the best alternative I've found is Posteo and honestly I like it, I even got CalDAV support which I didn't have in Protonmail, but personally I don't know anybody who use Posteo, so I post this here.

I've thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I've looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it's worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket.

The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.

I want to upload some videos to Peertube to share here in Lemmy, but I'm not sure how to find an instance where I can upload them.

I don't want to be 'picky' since I know I'm using another person's hardware that costs money to maintain, but the majority of Peertube instances I had found the users can't upload videos at all, or have a ridiculous minimum of like 25 MBs per file... And I had found other instances where the user can upload anything he wants, but how do I know that instance will prevail? I mean I had accounts in multiple Peertube instances that after some time are unreachable, it literally gives you an nginx or 'page not found' error...

I know I can host it myself and that's the best option, but I don't have the knowledge or hardware to do it.

I just saw in the admin Mastodon account that you need to clear your cookies, and that's it, which actually worked for me. I'm not sure why.

For a moment I think this was a Linux community talking about X.Org.

One more reason to switch to Linux! (It can't run Valorant)

I personally don't use Youtube (I prefer using Libredirect with Piped/Invidious) but I tried Youtube on Firefox with UBlock and I didn't have any problem. This might sound dumb but what filters do you use on UBlock? I have read that turning on some filters would help with this but I'm not sure.

[-] Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 2 years ago

My migration to Firefox and starting to use uBlock, definitely the best decisions I've made.

Vanced is dead, but ReVanced isn’t.

PollyMC is a Prism Launcher fork but with "offline mode" and works perfectly on my opinion. I recommend downloading the flatpak version as the appimage asks you for certain versions of Java that are easy to install but sometimes gets a little complicated.

And yes, Micro$hit can eat shit. I personally bought Minecraft but on the day I was forced to migrate my Mojang account to a Micro$oft account with the threat that "If I don't do it I'll lose access to my game" I delete my Mojang account and use PollyMC since.

Drama aside, Skidrow really does "cracks"? I thought they were only repackers.

Voksi, you fokkin prick, DRM exists for a reason in this world, it protects legitimate interests of actual hard working people, that are entitled to get a decent income from their hard effort!!!!

I'm not on any "side" but wut? We are talking about a repacker to a cracker, I think they can be considered equally "guilty" in the sense of "making hard-working people lose money" by distributing the games themselves. And what the hell, I'm pretty sure that's not the reason DRM exists, and if it is, it's to secure the income of companies, not their workers.

I'll be honest, the only way to listen to music privately is to download it. (And using an opensource music player)

There are Github repositories with CLI programs to download complete Spotify playlists with Youtube and also download their metadata.

In case anyone is interested in an alternative, I personally use LanguageTool because it is open source and works very well.

Babe wake up, a new version of Infinity for Lemmy it has just been released.
