Yes. The only times I’ve had any problem with pipewire were when pulse decided to run for some reason and disrupted everything.

Also, I can open a pipewire device, write data there, and not run into C assert faults. I can do this with oss and alsa too, of course, but AFAIK, it’s impossible with pulse and all the Linux DEs ran on pure magic for a decade.

Technology does empower or disempower those people depending on the details it has.

We are in a moment when it seems to be doing both. So those people are working very hard for their power. It’s up to us to change it to only disempower them.

They do that from time to time, so maybe it is unrelated.

Anyway, some news org reporting it isn’t unrelated.

I imagine Linux can run most of those. Odds are the OP just didn’t try hard enough.

What is completely understandable.

I think you missed the Russia vs. Ukraine one.

I dunno if it’s true, but before the attack several people were complaining that the Yemen campaign left the US stocks low.

Forget it. I was hours out of date here.

The US has too many of them to use a generic description like that.

The overall goals of mind-controlling a computer and not aging are quite ok.

They just can’t do anything good because of who they are. If those people set out to cure cancer, they will do that through a subscription service that require complete subservience.

The doctor is the one with the correct reaction there. Go do the second test.

Not at all. “The purpose of a system is what is does” is a phrase that makes it clear that in a system where a lot of people work in, “purpose” is a useless concept and should never be used to tell if it’s a good or a bad system.

It’s an entirely political view of a system, and has no relation to the implementation being stupid or not.

Does yay integrate with flatpack and snap?

He shook every country leader down. The pope is one of those.

Insurance goes up just to increase profits and keep the line going up.

A lot of it goes into premium payments.

No. The US also pushes any country that does business with Cuba out of the international finance system, refuses to do business with any company that does business with Cuba, and is invading and kidnapping leaders of countries that do business with Cuba.

The thing about bubbles is that they are not stable enough to exist in a mild deflation.

If there is any place to put an AI assistant, it’s that.

Why do your headphones have an app anyway?

(An I was bothered that my headphone got into the penultimate last trend an reduced all the functionality into a single button… you know: on, off, bluetooth sync, increase/decrease volume, next track, change language. What is that phone that got into both the app for everything trend and the forced AI one?)

How dare you say something like that in a Linux focused community?!?

(Oh, and this is a joke, don’t read it seriously.)
