Re:Pipewire to replace Pulseaudion on Ubuntu 22.10

Take a moment to thank leonard Potter, who despite death threats from ignorant "fanboys" and incessant mockery from people who never wrote a line of non-bash code has made immense contributions to Linux being usable on desktop. If someday Linux does end up being usable by the average Joe, Mr potter would have had a huge role to play in it. Let's trmenytgat pipewire stands on the shoulder of giants and it replaces an excellent system (which sadlt rarely happens in Linux space)
Re:The Verge is so bad they have me defending Apple [video]

I've said it before and I'll say it again-- verge is long form tabloid. They are deliberately contrarian (in the hope of appearing smart) and provocative (in the hope of getting eyeballs). Except polygon, the entire group of publications is pure sleaze.

Except not everything is about percentages. It's the same calculation Ballmer (big fan otherwise) did to let windows terminal rot. You need to multiply this with their effectiveness. Are those people looking at ads and making money for reddit directly? Probably 99% of them have adblock and res installed. But those are also likely to be the kind of users who would build bots and extensions for your website and help its growth.

Why post a Twitter thread with a single useful tweet and rest just name calling?

I remember before Trump came and there were Islamist attacks across the world and praying was considered enough. (Besides worrying about victimized muslims). These actions seem excessive to me.

Truth is every last company on earth wants to monopolize and lock its customers. There's a reason why king of pretend-openness Google doesn't support carddav and caldav

Does anyone understand the official status of this and future development expectations I can hold?
This looks like the news is on pistgres official page so it has some official backing but the project itself isn't by the core team?
