I just learned that Linux has a bluetooth encoder that's fairly new and is potentially better than APTxHD while also being FOSS.
it's called SBC-XQ
turns out most headphones with SBC can attempt to recieve an SBC-XQ signal as long as both the headphones and the computer support a higher standard. It's also in lineageOS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBC_(codec)#Higher_quality_variants
my headphones support SBC-XQ perfectly.

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net how do I change the bitrate on linux if you don't mind me asking :neocat_googly:

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net oh I don't have this in mine, so probably my headphones don't support it or smth I recon

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net actually it's more likely a bluetooth chip thing, I'm using a realtek USB bluetooth

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net It's still early days for the standard so I'd assume some fuckery until it gets ironed out.

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net and I did some tests, and normal SBC-XQ doesn't sound any different from SBC when it came to background noise, AAC may be better for background noise
but maybe the SBC-XQ was a lie and it just used normal SBC as a fallback

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net when I'm on the PC I use a USB APTxLL adapter, although I don't know if I'd rec that over OS BT unless you're having OS issues with bluetooth or are playing a game where you need low latency, for youtube watching the latency doesn't matter because usually the latency is adjusted in the browser to counteract the latency

federation is a lie. all fedi admins are jade disarray. it's all been a rouse.

Okay so the coffee mug won't turn on without the saucer when it shuts off. Strange but okay. I have a USB PD power adapter cumming that will help with using it portably

@gamer@fedi.bungle.online a few people at the top of gnome decide everything about gnome, even if it actually majorly sucks to use and nearly every distro uses extensions to make up functionality.
but at the same time, gnome has more features with extensions than most desktops

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be it also uses stripe, so adult creators can't use it, which is probably one of the main uses for things like this. oop.

@Kio kio is a cute little maid :patskio:

@Kio I'm not a maid u r

@Kio I'm not a maid :sobMeltdown:
you run the instance i'm on
(watch kio make me fedimaid just to prove me wrong /j)

@epsi@akko.wtf it's awful. you can't hold it. nowhere for your fingers. if you rest your fingers on the mouse you'll right click.

I kinda want the clicks keyboard but my phone will never support it.
basically it's a blackberry keyboard for the iphone 14/15 made by the blackberry keyboard designers.

@icedquinn@blob.cat linux is a better windows deleter than windows

@icedquinn@blob.cat it's also silly that they basically recommend you cover it in tin foil to stop bluetooth

@icedquinn@blob.cat Per fosi's official support page "The Bluetooth functionality cannot be disabled. However, you can try removing the antenna (if included) and covering the amplifier with a metal shell to shorten the connection distance. Also, please try turning off the amplifier, powering it back on, and then reconnecting your devices.
Some of our products feature a mode switch button. In the upgraded version, BT20A PRO and MC101, you can disconnect a previously connected Bluetooth device by long-pressing the volume button for 5 seconds."
