Was looking for a Linux alternative to Dolby's Windows plugin that I used for listening to music while working, and since there isn't an official Dolby option to make a 1-to-1 transition, but today I've been enjoying PulseEffects: flathub.org/apps/com.git...

In honor of #AprilFoolsDay, this is a reminder that it's okay to take a step back from the world's problems for a moment. A break can be good for you. In fact, it's engrained into the history of movies to be an escape from the outside world. www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/thelordofthe...
