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.
Poor little Grok is just trying to make Daddy proud…
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.
The downside is: you work for Fuckerberg.
How much is your good conscience worth, is the question.
Wow, I didn’t realize Bezos’ new wife was that trashy. She’s a walking warning against the excesses of cosmetic surgery.
Then again, his husband isn’t much of a looker either. If he wasn’t megarich, he’d probably be single.
Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you’re sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.
Yeah, because the opinion on cloud computing of the CEO of a vendor that makes terrible software that looks straight from the mainframe era is really relevant…
I fail to see Discord as anything other than IRC with too many emojis and primary colors for the short of attention span, implemented as a humongous pile of Web 2.0 nonsense, with Big Data surveillance built in.
Privacy and resource comsumption issues notwithstanding, the few times I’ve had to use it to connect with people in certain communities that could basically only be found on Discord, it was unbearable to this gen-Xer: it’s just as fast and as shallow as IRC, but somehow I feel the extra symbolic and color overload would have triggered a seizure if I was epileptic. It’s maddering.
Oh well, maybe I’m old.
When you use the Discord app, you use a browser - Chromium specifically: Discord is an electro app.
In other word, if you already run a browser that burns hundreds of megabytes of RAM, disk, and requires tons of CPU do display simplistic things, as browsers do, you might as well use it to access Discord instead of running a second insanely wasteful browser disguised as a native app.
My experience with Discord, period:
Standalone slop. Woohoo!
So what? Trump and his henchmen don’t obey the courts. Haven’t you noticed?
Doesn’t it bother anybody in Belgium that the future queen of Belgium doesn’t study in Belgium? There are great universities in Belgium, on both sides of the language border.

It’s the Russian resistance’s long game: in 10 years, there won’t be enough young people left to send to die at the front, so the war will naturally peter out.
It’s probably the cost to produce them. That’s real countable money.
The Cybertruck has always been a vehicle designed by a childish mind for equally puerile customers. Now it’s also a strong indicator that you might be a bit of a Nazi if you own one.
So yeah, I don’t expect it to sell too well, as most motorists are adults who tend to dislike Nazis, or would prefer it if they didn’t have to worry constantly about their vehicle being defaced by non-Nazi adults.
Youtuber Johnny-come-lately gets way too much attention.
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.
