    okay here me out:

    Pipewire is one of the best pieces of software I used. It has a cool ass patchbay and unlike PulseAudio I’ve never had it crash on me. It is the best thing that happened to Linux audio

    I was blown away when I connected my phone to my PC through Bluetooth and phone audio started playing through my PC. It just worked without me touching anything

    I also really like how “Linux Studio Plugins” are standalone apps that you can run. I don’t produce music or anything but I still use stuff like equalizers and spectrum analyzers. It is insane how flexible the “each app has inputs and outputs you can hook together” architecture is.

    PulseAudio probably also had some of these features but I never used those because pulse would fall apart every time I touched it. Pipewire doesn’t

    Broken Linux audio is about to become old news

    With the amount of deaths coal power causes, we are also feeding it present day people. Also applies to any other electricity consummation

    Only if there was a alternative…

    👏if you want to censor something, don’t write it 👏

    Writing is a tool for communication. Writing something implies your desire to communicate it.

    This might land a little controversial but I’ll go one step further and say you should not censor racial/homophobic slurs if they are not being used for offense. For example:

    “I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a f***ot”

    (I obviously censored it here because lemmy prob. has a filter for that shit.)

    In this sentence, I am not attacking anyone and I am simply trying to communicate a bad act done by somebody else. The message of the sentence is not homophobic in any way and me censoring the nasty word definitely didn’t change anything about the message. People can still hear that word loud and clear.

    So if you think including the word would be offensive for people, and think it’s not a crucial part of your message, simply don’t write it.

    “I hate my cop neighbor, I heard he called my niece a homophobic slur”

    There you go. You did not communicate the word f***ot and your audience did not receive it. A successful example of self censorship

    I am 20. I hate algospeak so bad. But “ahh” kinda stuck in my tongue

    “ahh” feels like the sound you’d make when you try to say “ass” quickly

    I feel like “ass” and “ahh” conveys different feelings so I use them interchangably. But I still cringe a bit because “ahh” originated from algospeak

    There was a browser extension which both blocked ads and simulated clicks iirc. That comes with a processing power cost though.

    But that only benefits the advertisement agency (eg. google ads) and doesn’t do much harm to the advertiser imo


  • I’m gonna say posting screenshots is kind of parallel to the purpose of this place. Lemmy is an aggregator, a platform where content from other sites is linked/reposted.

    Original content is still important, as without them, the website would die in a few weeks. But we should not ignore the value “crossposted” stuff adds to this place. I read a lot of great, original stories under the thread shown in your screenshot.

    [email protected] is a perfect example of this. It is filled with unoriginal content and screenshots but I genuinely learned more stuff in the comment section of that community compared to “serious” science communities in other platforms. That also has something to do with the quality of fediverse users of course, but my point stands
