Deleted my discord rooms, left every room i was in, requested my acct deleted, uninstalled from every device. Moved to matrix & fluxer.

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud in c/technology@lemmy.world

Im certain I could tell the difference between a $50,000 setup, and the one i have cobbled together for a couple hundo over the past decade... And i would love to have that setup. But that cost to performance is only worth it if you have way too much disposable income. Eff the audiophile market.
