I don't think the regular user even knows what WebGL and WASM are, they will just wonder why their browser game isn't working and then google the cryptic setting that they have to …

No. I don't want to continue this discussion based on this line of questioning, sorry. Let's be good people and not fight, I'm sure you're a kind soul.

>there is nothing wrong with doing such, there is zero track to you that someone somewhere on this planet is tinkering with an operating system you do not agree with the design dec…

>but the integrity questions still remain. For those previous elections? No, they don't. The elections themselves are settled. You are asking questions about something different wh…

Please avoid making this argument, it's a false equivalence. Youtube is not self-censoring those things. If you want me to ask a similarly misleading line of questioning based only…

I've read about plenty of this, all of that is completely normal. Every election people will try to game the system. It happens. We deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes …

I don't see how I am missing the point. Everything you've said would be mostly within the guidelines. Where you would get into trouble is if you did start saying "Nixon really won"…

>It's like a blueprint for what to review further. Why? Something going viral on social media is not proof or evidence that it happened or not. And as you know, without these polic…

>You could strip out systemd and put in a custom init system that doesn't conform to the typical Unix daemon startup expectations. I actually don't think you can do this, or would …

You spent a lot of time explaining this and I agree with everything you said. But that's a really long-winded technologist's way of putting it. I'd personally phrase in a simpler w…

I tried really hard to like SerenityOS but I think the decision to make it a UNIX-like POSIX system is a mistake. The POSIX API is outdated and broken in a lot of ways. I wish peop…

With a reputation system you'd still want to do your due diligence and manually check things. Even the most trustworthy people make honest mistakes sometimes.

Blind people can also get malware...

Not sure about other browsers but this is incorrect for Chrome and Firefox. They both have flags to disable WebGL and WASM. Please be careful not to spread misinformation, we owe i…

You may want to try this project: https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse But I don't recommend using only ALSA without a sound server on a desktop, the usability of it is pretty bad.

Well I don't usually need to connect audio from Firefox directly into a DAW or synthesizer. And technically that could still be done with Jack, it's just a bit harder to do because…

Sure, but that's one distro.

Sorry, I don't mean the article is trolling or bad-faith. What I mean is that the author seems to have been trolled and the article is only responding to that trolling. That's just…

I'm not a GNOME developer and I have no idea what you mean by self-righteous. I don't particularly care what the "right" way to do things is, I can only notice areas where there ar…

I don't know about alsa, I don't remember what happened when I tried that years ago. Yeah Unix permissions is bad, Pipewire is definitely better there. The security is a big improv…

I think they break third party apps because it's a real pain to keep maintaining a bunch of incompatible old versions of an API forever. Also your last paragraph doesn't follow to …

>Really? You think programs can't just load all of the libraries in a given directory? They can't, a library implements a specific API. >except they still boil down to the exact sa…

I can't agree, ever since jack2 I actually never had any problem getting it to work with pulse. You may be thinking of jack1. Pipewire does make it easier to do this though.

In my opinion, that article is pretty insubstantial and is mostly just responding to the same 4chan trolling mentioned in this wiki. It's just not a productive line of discussion a…

>Your assumption that everyone cares about this is false, there's no "misconceptions" here. The only misconception is the one that GNOME is the center of the Linux universe... whic…
