Just to not sound like a complete asshole… ofc the 25% boost does not depend on bits/kbits, the difference is still 256 vs 320, but I just wanted to emphasize that the expected result is 25% bigger in all terms.

If it helps to imagine, the space needed to store a 256k 5 minutes song will store a 320k 4 minutes song. Then, you are already relying on a quite decent quality beforehand so it’s all extra quality and details.

I usually hear the difference in the high frequency sounds, which is exactly what is otherwise sacrificed in low bitrate compression formats.

FLAC will produce an even better sound, as it’s lossless, but for most songs I couldn’t justify the file size difference.

That’s 64 kbits, or about a 25% boost in bitrate.

Not a lemmy user to my knowledge, but for a while I kept finding various social media accounts for a specific user.

They were (maybe still are? No clue) a very active and knowledged user of cplusplus.com, and we had some mild interactions over time.

Eventually, for some unknown reasons I got suggested its YouTube channel with some Minecraft videos, its GitHub account, and I found some comments of theirs on some Reddit threads here and there.

They now work for a software development house of a relatively obscure product that I have used before.

Yeah, I had to pay, I don’t think there’s a way around that but I didn’t mind.

Yeah, there was nothing about language in it, but I took it anyway just for the sake of it.

Wish I could take an official one, purely out of curiosity.

Just took a test out of curiosity, but the result screen is much different.

Disclaimer: Don’t take too much of the score for granted, the test isn’t that comprehensive, and just by knowing basic math and intermediate logic you may reach a similar score.

Very cool critters indeed!

Oops, in spite of writing it in the alt text, I just realized that it’s not really clear, Pepper and Titus are two domesticated ferrets!

He truly makes you wonder what he really is
