fraggLe!@gsuberland @mcc *thousand yard CODEC stare*
I was once upon a time a minor contributor to Mumble, and joined a WoW PUG in like 2014 I think and they made everyone use vent and it was *dreadful*, like absolute hot liquid dogshit in my ears, utterly offensive.
halcy 
@gsuberland @fwaggle @mcc you’ll be glad to hear that in terms of hardware, in 2024, absolutely nothing has changed all computers still have absolutely dogshit microphones (now wireless! so you also get some unpleasantly low sample rates plus an absolutely dogshit codec *before it even reaches the computer*), we’ve just trained the computer to mostly paper over this fact
@gsuberland @fwaggle @mcc oh also since they’re now on laptops if they’re not wireless, they are also right next to a fan, which doesn’t seem loud to your ears but to the microphone? Sure is!
