poettering is an absolute good guy here
Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.
pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.
I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.
I totally agree. I used to hate systemd for breaking the traditional Unix philosophy, but the reality is that a tight init and service-tracking integration tool really was required. I work with and appreciate systemd every day now. It certainly didn’t make things simplier and easier to debug, but it goes a long way towards making a Linux system predictable and consistent.
Poettering can go fuck himself though - and for PulseAudio too. I suspect half of the hate systemd attracted over the years was really because of this idiot.
Trump is quite amazing: everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - he does is clearly geared towards cruelty and hurting other human beings on purpose.
I mean other dictatorships are usually nasty towards certain groups of people, and most have at least a couple of redeeming qualities. But it really seems Trump has a grudge against other humans in general, and literally none of what he does is good in any way, shape or form.
While Canada wants nothing to do with the United States, it looks like the UK is working extra-hard to demontrate it has achieved the fascism level needed to qualify for statehood.
It must be great to be so rich you can spend your life obsessing about bullying others - be it sonsabitches GOP congresscritters and senators or Musk - rather than worry about keeping your job, paying the bills and making ends meet.
As far as I’m concerned, they can all die a painful death and I wouldn’t give the tiniest shit.
It’s different this time around.
The previous attempts were about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly,
This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.
I reckon it’s serious this time.
