Thank you! Turns out the problem was something else, but I learned about the dbus today too.

SOLVED: So I plugged the BTD into the windows machine and did a firmware update, the update software is available on sennheiser’s website. (Not sure if that was needed)

In Pop_OS! I went into sounds settings and made sure the sound output was to “Digital Output (S/PDIF) BTD 600.” If it’s set to “Analog Output BTD 600” the audio is compressed. I could have sworn that I had tried this before, but apparently not.

The same thing applies to the C81. Make sure it’s using the digital output to the Avantree C81, not the analog output to the C81.

How do I watch the dbus? I don’t know what that is.

Are you able to download your purchases? I feel like the answer is “no,” but if they were serious about your library being “yours” downloading your purchases would have been part of their service plan from the start.

Waffle batter normally has baking powder in it to cause it to rise, or the egg whites in it have been whipped to make it fluffy.

Bay biscuits… probably don’t have as much baking powder in them as they’re pretty dense when you dollop out the dough and they don’t rise much in the oven.

So while you can make fluffy things in a waffle iron, just because you make bay biscuits in a waffle iron doesn’t mean they’re going to be fluffy.

I bet you do, don’t you? THANOS!

Excite truck is amazing. Being able to put your own music in the game was (for lack of better phrasing) game-changing.

Thank you for the recommendations

Found glider in fdroid, I’m digging it. Thank you.

It’s there a frontend or app or something for that site? The web interface is so dated.

I still use reddit when I need to ask some obscure question about some topic that isn’t well represented on Lemmy yet. I don’t browse or lurk anymore though. (Kind of like how some people just use Facebook for communication and not for the newsfeed.)

Check out beehaw if you’re worried about missing news. That lemmy instance has way less shitposting and seems to have healthy discussion.

Between the mixed feeds on Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw I haven’t missed any big things that I’m aware of. I have other friends on discord and irl and if they talk about a big news story it’s never something I missed.

Yeah, I get the joke in the post, but anyone who listens to RatM should very quickly understand what “the machine” is.

I’M DYING

“Community” is a universal term, where as “subreddit” is a reddit-specific term. It’s a little easier for a newbie to guess what a “community” in lemmy is versus whatever a “subreddit” to reddit is. (Is a subreddit a webpage? Is it the second page of the front page? Is the submarine section of reddit?)
