My crippling anxiety attack

Yes, it has both a compressor and a limiter. I don't know how to set them up though.

What the fuck is this, an anachronistic parody of 1939? "What if Hitler had Twitter"?

For the sake of the world, I hope whatever brain-eating disease he's contracted acts quickly.

Switch from Pulse? No reason not to. Use Wireplumber instead of pipewire-session-manager, and consider installing pipewire-pulse if any of your scripts rely on pactl (or rewrite them to use wpctl, which does much the same as pactl).

As for Easyeffects, use the flatpak package to avoid dependency issues.

That's the point. It's a list of words that may or may not mean something and I can't make an assessment on whether or not it's bullshit. It's coming from Apple, though, and it's about privacy, which is not good for credibility.

1. It was doing new things.
2. It was easier to learn.
3. The other init systems were (are) stagnant.

Imagine trying to get new, young developers to adopt C or Pascal when the likes of Rust and Python exist. You can make arguments for a thing's superiority based on moral standards (which are always subjective), but morality is a poor metric. If everything was done based on that, the Linux ecosystem would be in the same state as the GNU Hurd kernel.

by using high-level multimodal feature descriptors, including visual similarity scores; locally stored geo-signals; popularity; and index coverage of landmarks (to debias candidate overweighting)

...and other sciencey-sounding technobabble that would make Geordi LaForge blush. Better reverse the polarity before the dilithium crystals fall out of alignment!

My entire house is 3000K

Your heating expenses must be absurd.

Orwell is a protest distro user and/or developer.

A while ago I watched a live stream of CSPAN (I think?) where the House failed to form a government for several consecutive days. The way the entire process started with a prayer, and the many references to religion throughout, is just as disturbing as the personality cult around Stalin. That whole gang is fucked in the head.

I remember ANFO from Mythbusters. It really hates cement trucks and train station mock-ups.

There's no reason to expect GNOME to implement it, and I'm surprised they haven't NACKed it.

How is KDE less keyboard-focused? I spent like ten minutes setting up kwin shortcuts and now have the same level of keyboard-only interaction as with any WM.

Pedestrians should be thankful that the windows gave out so easily, otherwise the body panels might've turned into giant shrapnel.

98 children yearned too much for the mines

20-disk RAID5 it is then.

Team building events back when I was working in a factory. One day every year we had the option to go to a crowded bar and have overpriced drinks with the same people we met every day. I didn't even like half of them (I was just polite and professional) and one shitty event wasn't going to change my attitude. I would've preferred a regular shift on an assembly line.

the other option was taking out a paid vacation day (non-American labour laws FTW)

aplay doesn't bitch about encodings or signatures or checksums or something not looking like a media file. If you do something stupid (like pipe an executable file into it), it won't tell you to go back to the child-safe play pen, it will pass the data to ALSA and do its best to render it as sound.

The Windows mind can't comprehend the importance of the freedom to fuck around. But, looking at your comment history, you're more of a professional contrarian and won't even try to do that.

You mean a service that translates between ActivityPub and another API? I'm pretty sure that's just a bridge.

As for the challenges:

• It would have to be maintained constantly.
• It would have to be updated to reflect changes to an API in a timely manner.
• It would need to handle different versions of APIs (goodness knows even Lemmy instance operators have trouble with that).
• It would need to handle features that don't translate one-to-one between instances.
• It would have to be transparent enough to allow a non-technical user to use it, but opaque enough that a non-technical user doesn't blame issues with the bridge on the connected services (see for example: the Bottles packaging kerfuffle).
• ...and so on. Lots of challenges.
