Quoting: Purple Library GuyExcept it seems from numerous posts here that it is in fact often very difficult to turn off. And people are also claiming there is often a lack of alternatives. Given which, no, getting mad that it exists is getting mad that other people's preferences are being enforced and one's own preferences made needlessly unavailable.
I'd like this twice but since this is not possible have my lame comment here too :)

Totally enjoyed Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth - I even wrote a review about: https://beko.famkos.net/2020/05/03/the-pillars-of-the-earth/ and I am kinda biased because this is a hobby of mine.

So I really appreciate the details :)

NoiseTorch is another tool to remove background noise while recording on Linux

Quoting: scaineI was a bit gutted that the 0.2 version of Cadmus seems to break entirely on Mint, so while I wait for the developer to look into that (quite a few folk have reported it), I might give this one a try! I say might, because while I like the look of NoiseTorch and appreciate that it actually has a GUI (Cadmus is just an indicator-applet), Cadmus is a deb/flatpack install, but NoiseTorch is a script, which looks a bit messier. And I'm pretty lazy, so there's that...

Don't think that compares.

Cadmus uses the existing noise suppressor (werman/noise-suppression-for-voice) for pulse and "just" adds a nice UI option (as said indicator-applet) to it to load the sink. Last time I checked the script itself was ~100 lines shy.

NoiseTorch is a whole application that _also_ uses the existing noise suppressor (werman/noise-suppression-for-voice). Check the vendor folder what this all drags in.

In both cases ada goes to the pulse plugin https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice which in return is based on Xiph's RNNoise suppression library ( https://github.com/xiph/rnnoise ) and basically all you'd need to do is add 4 lines to your pulse/default.pa to setup and configure the denoised sink.

The only reason why your mileage may vary with NoiseTorch (also in quality!) is that it pinned a specific version of werman/noise-suppression-for-voice that is probably different to the one shipped with the Cadmus appimage/deb or is/was already installed on your system.

So in my personal opinion NoiseTorch _is_ that hammer but you may decide that for yourself, of course :)

Google's UI toolkit Flutter comes to the Linux desktop with help from Canonical

I'm bewildered. Using a Flutter cross compiled app for months now. It just sucks because it looks and feels like a mobilephone app but hey it's better than trying to run it _on_ my mobile phone.

I mean… my i5-8600K has at least the power to run it smooth

As a sword enthusiast I'm already on the fence (heh :p) with this.

May it spark joy for others.

I'll pass - my swords might get jealous ;-)
