People who lobby with decision makers at major distributions for their software to be made the de-facto standard, instead of leaving it to the userbase, have a deeply anti-democratic mindset, and that makes them assholes.

I’m not blindly hating. I despise the asshole responsible for the choice being taken away from me for many major distros and I wish him the plague for his manipulative approach in getting there.

systemd

and a giant “fuck you” to Lennart Poettering for that. Not for creating an init system option - but for lobbying it into major distributions, instead of letting the users decide what they prefer. May he forever stub his toes on furniture.

Oh, a person of taste! :) May I recommend BunnyTrack maps? I played those a lot in the 2015 timeframe and enjoyed myself immensely.

Unreal Tournament 99 and Everquest. But those don’t even come close to needing a fraction of the hardware you procured :D

yeah, that’s another epic IT fail of humanity

wtf makes Microsoft think they can get away with shit like this?

I’d wager a guess it’s people dumb enough to constantly put up with shit like this?

I just had a light bulb moment as to what it is that annoys me about a large portion of US-american men: all the “dudes” temper & behaviour is adolescent - as if they never made it past puberty. Which perfectly fits the sexualized language being funny to those guys.

I’ll gladly have you explain to me where the pointe is here…

Ouch - I have heard that symptom before - luckily not an issue on my hardware…

A joke is some bit that’s funny…

are you that easily manipulated?

are you that easily manipulated?

That seems like an ugly workaround - using external hardware to pretend that internally there’s only 1 device. Not my preferred method, to be honest.

Been using debian for more than a decade and “it just works” has become truer every year. It’s a good distro, if you have no principle objections against systemd (which I do, but am too lazy to do anything about).

The one thing I am not happy about: Audio drivers on a Desktop computer

• works out of the box, but then messes up when selecting input devices from:
• line in
• headphones in
• USB camera microphone
• Audio in “sinks” - I believe those are channels allowing for active noise cancelling / preventing Audio feedback loops I had a whole lot of trouble with pulseaudio selecting the correct source when trying to use my mic in the browser.

On a Laptop, I’ve never experienced such issues, as all devices are integrated (apart from the headphones jack, I guess).

Just when I got familiar enough with pulseaudio, they replaced it with “pipewire”, which fucked up output devices:

• works on boot
• when I plug in headphones: it messes up the Audio output to HDMI and I have to manually re-select (on desktop environment) the headphones
• when I then touch the volume control (GUI), the output goes silent again and I have to select the “Port” headphones for the “Built-in Audio Analog Stereo” under “Output Devices”

drives me crazy since the last update - but it’s only an issue when using headphones, so for now I am living with it.

you dropped this “/s” somewhere along the line

In the end, web front-ends always allow to expose selected parts of any kind of internal (potentially insecure) protocols to the internet through a demilitarized zone that only allows https protocol.

It’s like being allowed to watch the data you are interested in through a glass window, but no touching :)

Webapp probably uses Exchange services internally and exposes only a web interface to the internet

Fast data transmission via TCP over a lossy link.
