Don't worry - it's for a good cause of saving the youth from a dystopian future of carbon-neutral transportation and walk/bike-able cities & neighbourhoods. Sigh.
I also tried jconvolver in the past, but often hit issues when combined with pipewire. Pipewire's native virtual surround support just works when configured correctly.
You can change the default sink to go to the virtual surround device this way:
pactl list short sinks # get sink name
pactl set-default-sink <set default sink>
There will be a way to set the default in the pipewire config files (~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/*), too.
I use "catia" when I want to do manual audio routing, and I guess similar is possible with pavucontrol.
You pay the Amazon tax indirectly often enough regardless. Huge chunks of the Internet run on AWS. And if it's not AWS, then it's Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. Shareholders win again.
As for not buying shitty products, returning them when you realise how shitty they are, cancelling contracts when services turn shitty, etc. Yes, do that.
IPv6 may also "just work" nowadays, too, especially if the aim is to connect from mobile or other consumer networks. Corporate environments are still hit & mostly miss.
Your advice on ISPs is jurisdiction specific. As an example, in Germany and some other countries, you have private law firms involved, tracking down people with the help of the courts, shaking people down with threats of civil lawsuits. VPNs good, though.
Also, this just flew across my feed, which is quite relevant and touches on complicated realities, which might confuse poor souls like OP (if they are not paid/otherwise incentivised to spread propaganda):
https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=jeYa__ATQDc for adding virtual instruments (VST, LV2, CLAP). I recommend Surge XT as a great free synth. Windows VSTs need something like yabridge to wrap wine and the plugin.
Not sure about your bug, but try using pipewire & the jack interface with reaper. Ping me if you need more assistance.
There is a good chance that there are A-W, Y and Z social media companies too. Some may be legit (eg. marketing on existing social media platforms), and others more for trademark squatting.
It mostly runs. An Azure-optimized HyperV build is the primary hypervisor I think, but I'd wager that most customer VMs on Azure are running Linux. However, if you want to run Windows in the cloud, it's a decent option.
My experience with Azure has been less than stellar. They have good API documentation, but tooling & core compute is a bit janky. The web UI is also a throwback to a past era, but you can't really avoid it when debugging issues which you have to do often during development. Then the developers want to forget all about it ... which is a problem when something inevitably breaks.
Indeed. I wonder if LinuxNet / #linux is still around, actually. That was interesting back in the day, and later meeting many of the characters at conferences and meetups. IRC was great. Patches by email, otoh... Good that it is possible, but PRs/MRs are nicer.
Oh I don't know... twitter was probably seen as good tool for more pump & dump and other financial scams, not to mention the opportunity to influence worldwide politics.
Then there's the wish to turn it into an everything app with micro transactions at every step of the way. Such a beast wouldn't get far in the EU, and probably not the US either.
