android Android Is it possible to use Dolby Atmos AND Spatial Audio at the same time?

    You mean my headphones? They're Sony WH-1000XM5.

    On second thought, they don't specifically have support for Atmos but I was under the impression that as long as the device playing the content natively supports it, it should be fine.

    Spatial Audio settings:

    Dolby Atmos settings when Spatial Audio is off:

    Apple's implementation of Spatial Audio uses Dolby Atmos, so I was wondering if the same was possible on Android.

    But the question is, if I'm playing Dolby Atmos content, what should I use then? It'd make more sense to use the Dolby Atmos setting but that one doesn't have head tracking (that my headphones support).

    Edit: also this is not about converting a stereo stream; I'm playing native Atmos content.

    ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c7ab0444-8c6c-4fde-b1fe-71e82bb4d29f.jpeg) I can't understand if it just means that for some reason the settings cannot be changed (refer to the screenshot) or if it's because Dolby Atmos is disabled when Spatial Audio is on. I could not find any information about this anywhere.

    I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.

    Bing Chat creates ELI5 about Trump's situation in a few seconds — Can it replace humans?

    Do you think this could replace/assist humans on ELI5-type communities? >Okay, I'll try to explain it to you like you're five. Donald Trump was the president of the United States for four years, from 2017 to 2021. He did many things that some people liked and some people didn't like. He also said and wrote many things that some people liked and some people didn't like. After he lost the election in 2020, he left the White House and went to live in his big house in Florida called Mar-a-Lago. There, he kept saying and writing things that some people liked and some people didn't like. >Some of the things he said and wrote were about secrets that only the president and a few other people are supposed to know. These secrets are called classified documents, and they are very important for keeping the country safe and making good decisions. The people who work for the government have rules about how to handle these secrets, and they are not allowed to share them with anyone who is not supposed to know them. If they do, they can get in big trouble. >Some people who work for the government thought that Trump was not following the rules about the secrets, and they started to investigate him. They looked at his phone, his computer, his papers, and his emails. They also talked to some of his friends and helpers who knew about the secrets. They found out that Trump had shared some of the secrets with people who were not supposed to know them, and that he had not protected them well enough. They also found out that one of his helpers, named Walt Nauta, had helped him do this. >The people who work for the government decided that Trump and Nauta had broken the law by mishandling the secrets, and they charged them with crimes. This means that they accused them of doing something wrong, and that they have to go to court to prove it. The court is a place where a judge and a jury listen to both sides of the story and decide who is telling the truth and who is lying. The judge is a person who knows a lot about the law and makes sure everyone follows the rules. The jury is a group of ordinary people who are chosen randomly to be fair. >Trump and Nauta had to go to court yesterday for the first time, where they met the judge and said that they were not guilty. This means that they denied doing anything wrong, and that they want to have a trial. A trial is when both sides present their evidence and arguments to the judge and the jury, who then decide if they are guilty or not guilty. If they are guilty, they can be punished by paying money or going to jail. If they are not guilty, they can go free. >Trump is the first former president ever to be charged with a federal crime. A federal crime is a crime that affects the whole country, not just one state or city. This makes this case very special and important, because it has never happened before. Many people are watching this case very closely, because they care about what Trump did or didn't do with the secrets. >Do you understand now? >Source: Conversation with Bing, 6/15/2023 (1) Donald Trump. https://bing.com/search?q=trump+news.

This includes erotic stories, audio-porn or nudes. > > ### Is it hard to quit porn? ### > > Yes. It's like quitting smoking, but having a pack of cigarettes always in your pocket. > However, ask yourself this: will porn ever satisfy you? > > *"If you are thirsty, porn is a sea water to you thirst, it is never enough, it will make you sick if you consume it more, and it is never enough to end your thirst"* > > It is worth to take the challenge of quitting porn, and restore dopamine balance in your brain - you will feel more yourself than ever before. No more hiding your phone, downloading gigabytes of explicit content, no more escalating into more and more disturbing videos. It's a truly liberating feeling. > > *Friendly reminder: If you're not horny enough to masturbate without porn, you're not horny enough to masturbate.* > > ### Methodology ### > > Some people like to track how many days they're pornfree, keeping streaks. They do reset a streak after relapse, starting from day 0. > > I, however, prefer the "calendar" method - I am marking porn free days as green on my calendar, and red when I relapse.

What causes you to grab your phone or your laptop and search for porn? Then, cut those triggers out. > > Most common advice is: > > * Delete Instagram, or at least unfollow all the provocative content that led you into relapse. > * When going to the toilet, leave your phone in the living room. Never take your phone to the toilet. > * Keep yourself busy. Boredom is a huge trigger. > > **Take it one day at the time, minute by minute** > Today you're not going to watch porn. Today you're best possible, porn-free self. > > **Replace porn with a good habit that will provide you some dopamine** > Exercise. Go for a run. If a urge comes, do a single pushup or take a cold shower.

    Example: I have a community c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world Searching for these on other instances like beehaw.org or lemmy.one: - `!lanadelrey@lemmy.world` - `https://lemmy.world/c/lanadelrey` - `https://lemmy.world/c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world` - `c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world` - `lanadelrey` Gives `No results.` even after waiting several minutes and trying multiple times I had this problem with !aphantasia@lemmy.world too, but now it seems to work as expected! So this begs the question: is there a delay before the communities can be discovered? How long do you have to wait in general?

    Windows to the soul: Pupils reveal 'aphantasia' -- the absence of visual imagination https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/04/220420092150.htm

    >The study, led by researchers from UNSW Sydney and published in eLife, found that the pupils of people with aphantasia did not respond when asked to imagine dark and light objects, while those without aphantasia did. Link to the actual research article referenced above [here](https://elifesciences.org/articles/72484). Abstract > The pupillary light response is an important automatic physiological response which optimizes light reaching the retina. Recent work has shown that the pupil also adjusts in response to illusory brightness and a range of cognitive functions, however, it remains unclear what exactly drives these endogenous changes. Here, we show that the imagery pupillary light response correlates with objective measures of sensory imagery strength. Further, the trial-by-trial phenomenological vividness of visual imagery is tracked by the imagery pupillary light response. We also demonstrated that a group of individuals without visual imagery (aphantasia) do not show any significant evidence of an imagery pupillary light response, however they do show perceptual pupil light responses and pupil dilation with larger cognitive load. Our results provide evidence that the pupillary light response indexes the sensory strength of visual imagery. This work also provides the first physiological validation of aphantasia.

    [x-post] Reading with Aphantasia

    I kind of lost the habit of reading books in recent years, but would like to read a bit more. I saw this post and thought you guys might have some thoughts to share! >cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/99587 >> As someone with Aphantasia it can be a bit of a challenge to get into a book. Unlike that post about staring at paper and hallucinating, they really are just words on a page for me. >> Despite this, I've still managed to maintain my love of reading throughout my life, but I won't lie, it can be very difficult to choose a book over other mediums of entertainment at times. >> Does anyone else go through this as well? What do you do to help engross yourself in a story when there isn't a mental movie to pull you in?

    "A cognitive profile of multi-sensory imagery, memory and dreaming in aphantasia" (2020) https://web.archive.org/web/20200624210110id_/https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65705-7.pdf

    Abstract >For most people, visual imagery is an innate feature of many of our internal experiences, and appears to play a critical role in supporting core cognitive processes. Some individuals, however, lack the ability to voluntarily generate visual imagery altogether – a condition termed “aphantasia”. Recent research suggests that aphantasia is a condition defined by the absence of visual imagery, rather than a lack of metacognitive awareness of internal visual imagery. Here we further illustrate a cognitive “fingerprint” of aphantasia, demonstrating that compared to control participants with imagery ability, aphantasic individuals report decreased imagery in other sensory domains, although not all report a complete lack of multi-sensory imagery. They also report less vivid and phenomenologically rich autobiographical memories and imagined future scenarios, suggesting a constructive role for visual imagery in representing episodic events. Interestingly, aphantasic individuals report fewer and qualitatively impoverished dreams compared to controls. However, spatial abilities appear unaffected, and aphantasic individuals do not appear to be considerably protected against all forms of trauma symptomatology in response to stressful life events. Collectively, these data suggest that imagery may be a normative representational tool for wider cognitive processes, highlighting the large inter-individual variability that characterises our internal mental representations.

    "What is the relationship between Aphantasia, Synaesthesia and Autism?" (2021) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053810021000131?casa_token=tDZIqE3ONawAAAAA:YM1fd0Hb6foE7Wh5sm8vIo6uDlHF4_AmOCHnEZSKSR2avqunNwG8Twn_5ooVkWTNZR5cSEN87GYl

    Abstract > For people with aphantasia, visual imagery is absent or markedly impaired. Here, we investigated the relationship between aphantasia and two other neurodevelopmental conditions also linked to imagery differences: synaesthesia, and autism. In Experiment 1a and 1b, we asked whether aphantasia and synaesthesia can co-occur, an important question given that synaesthesia is linked to strong imagery. Taking grapheme-colour synaesthesia as a test case, we found that synaesthesia can be objectively diagnosed in aphantasics, suggesting visual imagery is not necessary for synaesthesia to occur. However, aphantasia influenced the type of synaesthesia experienced (favouring ‘associator’ over ‘projector’ synaesthesia - a distinction tied to the phenomenology of the synaesthetic experience). In Experiment 2, we asked whether aphantasics have traits associated with autism, an important question given that autism – like aphantasia – is linked to weak imagery. We found that aphantasics reported more autistic traits than controls, with weaknesses in imagination and social skills.
