Any audiophiles looking for new software tools?

I developed an program that identifies mp3 transcoding in lossless music.
It’s [open source](github.com/gioypi/penthy) and there’s also an [online demo](penthy.eu/) to scan your flac files.

The first 10 game dev companies make 65% of the global revenue in the industry!
The Chinese giant is at the top by far, although it has been proven that it is influenced by the Chinese Communist Party...

So after some hard thinking we've come up with an End2End encrypted #RocketChat server with #CloudFlare setup for refugees from #Ukraine

The goal is to keep a strickt moderation so Putin's people won't be able to join or get suspended right away. Also we want to blockout #Russia completely.

There are main channels for
help-needed, help-offered, missing-people, news etc. People can use the official RocketChat app for Android, iOS and Desktop.

This way we want to offer the people of Ukraine a safe wayt to communicate besides WhatsApp, Signal, FB messenger.

Users are able to create private channels with multiple people and send direct messages to other users, all end to end encrypted. 🚀 🗨️

We need people who speak Ukrainian, moderators, news checkers etc

"For years I have been reluctant to compare any dictator to Hitler, or any war to the second world war. The comparison, to me, seemed exaggerated, even vulgar.

But what other analogy is there. With no reason, in an act of pure madness, an old-fashioned air assault has been inflicted on a neighbouring country.

I said that to my Russian colleague, and tried very hard not to show how my voice was trembling. She asked for forgiveness again.

There is a famous phrase “4am Kyiv is bombed”. Every Ukrainian and Russian kid knows it. That’s how the announcement of the German bombardment of Kyiv in 1941 sounded.

And here we are: 24 February 5am Kyiv is bombed by Russia."

The worst liars are Shell, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Marathon Oil and Exxon Mobil. Contacted by Reuters, spokescriminals representing each of these companies defender corporate genocide with a string of lies, each more risible and ghastly than the last.
