Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen. (lemmy.world)

Reminds me of the ass audio mixing in movies where it is only enjoyable in a 7.1 cinema or your rich friends home theater but not on your own setup

It seems we've lost sight of reality there.

As we don't intend to attend much cinema any more, I hope they bring back essentially a Dolby Noise Switch for movies. I don't want to sacrifice too much, but booming noise followed by what comes out as whispered dialogue really cheapens the experience.

I hope they can find a process that gives us back a sound track for the sub-17:7 sound system.

Dynamic Range Compression. VLC player has it, possibly under a different name though. Set it up on my theater pc, and I almost don't need subtitles anymore.

On Windows: https://www.fxsound.com/ (now free and open source)
On old Linux: PulseEffects
On new Linux: EasyEffects

Those really make your crappy speakers or headphones go the extra mile.

They could add more audio tracks for different systems. Blurays support multiple audio tracks and they are almost never full.

I've always wanted to try putting something like a guitar compressor pedal in the audio chain just to normalize the peaks. My wife will find something to watch, but ends up spending half the time adjusting the volume, or just turning on subtitles.

A lot of media players have a compressor if you are watching ripped movies on an HTPC.

I have a much simpler setup though. Just a 'smart' TV and a sound bar I paid about $200 for so nothing fancy.

Not actually looking for advice, just a thought experiment of quick, easy and cheap fixes.
