Causing an outrage on social media is only possible if the abyss of algorithms there didn’t cancel you too. Easy to imagine a future scenario when someone can be cancelled everywhere all at once, trial by a jury of AI

I don’t understand why vegans try to mimic things. I have no problem eating vegetables and mushrooms but I would never eat bacon made of mushrooms. The devil deals in deception.

You can’t do better than lossless audio transmission. The human ear can’t perceive higher than 20KHz. Uncompressed 32 bit audio sampled at 40Khz (double because of Nyquist frequency) is only about 160 kB/s. Even with 64 bit samples it
