From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used to think the same. But as it turns out, a decoder exists. Maybe some people don't want anyone to know about it to keep the myths alive ;)
EDIT: Also, as a golden rule, whenever anyone sees the words High-Res in an audio context, they should immediately realize that they are being bullshitted.
just because a decoder exists doesnt mean it's good and usable, and it also doesn't mean you are legally allowed to use it without the appropriate licensing
Lemmy instance choice does not check out ;)
The codec is basic, uses decades-old tech, and was trivially REed.
the point is, it's not something I've been able to test, and im not sure if this will change that, But I suppose I can at least do testing with what I have.
got more important things to spend my money on :D sadly, I cant just steal things from work
I'm sure they won't notice a few rolls of toilet paper going missing.
Your skin glows quite beautifully, narc.
It's my new skin care routine, got it from the asphalt last time I got hit by a car, driver must have been sleeping
