Sure.

I could also shoot off both my testicles with an M1911.

Linux isn’t a product. You can’t think of it like a product. It is simply a piece of software and doesn’t care if you use it or not. It’s not “competing” with Windows, it’s not even playing the same game.

I don’t click on these videos ever. I know all the reasons already. I can’t change a mind that’s already made up either.

There is no need to use external programs anymore unless you want some kind of special behaviour (like the plugboard that qjackctl gives you). Pipewire has reimplemented Pulseaudio, ALSA, and JACK, which at one point in time were 3 separate projects.

Pipewire emulates all 3 seamlessly. So when you run a program through JACK, pipewire picks it up pretending to be normal JACK. To the program, it looks like you have a standard JACK server, but on the backend, it’s running through Pipewire instead. You should get the same low-latency too.

Do make sure you have pipewire-jack or the equivalent package installed.

Nope. Creative Cloud requires internet access for DRM.

You know as well as I do that Mozilla isn’t exactly a small community project. This isn’t a surprise to me.

Every major company does this, it just doesn’t make headlines. Plus I’m sure they know you can still install it outside of the store.

It’s not, and you don’t speak for the free software community.

Pi Picos (which are notably microcontrollers and not computers) have had clones for like $2 on Aliexpress for some time now, and devices like the Orange Pi and similar have existed for years.

Google also makes their own silicon now. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s caused a change.

It was a joke.

They literally tried this exact thing already and it accepted many trans women and refused many cis women.

I promise a lot of men want this.

Yeah until the AI goes all GLaDOS on all the engineers in the building.

Weed made all my days disappear. No matter how harmless it might seem I’m not recommending mind-altering drugs to anybody.

And I see modern “Christians” as deplorable but that doesn’t mean I get to strip them of all their rights.

Stallman just keeps being right*

*About software freedom

Distributions of Windows are an inherently terrible idea. Maybe look at amelioration scripts instead.

+1 for Pixels but -1 for Google’s “support”. You’ll never talk to a human with them. I love GrapheneOS on my Pixel though, and they’re really the only phones you can install it on cause you can re-lock the bootloader on it after installing. CalyxOS (fork of Graphene with slightly less sandboxing) does support FairPhone 4&5 and a few Motorola phones though.

Oh sure, I’m still learning so I thought you meant references as in pointers like in C++. But also, Rust isn’t a strictly object oriented language either. It shares a lot of similar features, but they aren’t all the typical way you’d do things in an OOP language. You should check out the chapter of the Rust book for ownership.
