Pipewire-pulse provides compatibility to programs that may not directly support pipewire yet.

Pipewire was developed to be a total drop in replacement to the Pulse audio sound server. It has compatibility layers that allow other things to talk to it.

Edit: debian is not showing pipewire-alsa as a hard dependency of pipewire https://packages.debian.org/trixie/pipewire

Years back this was the case with the Blu R1 phone I had. It had an inbuilt system app that was not removable that would harvest “advertising” data.

I stopped recommending non brand name phones for this reason.

That’s just it though. The developers can drop out over time, then some other corp can come in and control it, then close source it.

Consider their past statement going on a schizo rant against Impossible Meat for vegans. https://lemmy.world/post/36475130

This is such bad take only because it singles out rust for some weird reason. Tool total rewrites take work regardless of language

I understand the sentiment.

The move to a permissive license opens the door for these tools to possibly become closed source one day.

I’m sure all 12 users of artix will be very sad lol

What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github’s best interest as being “the” code platform.

You have totally missed the topic. This person is not asking where to host a project. They are asking about how to avoid even downloading a repo from github as if it’s some moral crime.

Newsflash, 75% of any operating system and it’s utilities are developed and put on github. You cannot avoid it and trying to do so only harms your own access to things. You might as well just cut off your own internet at that point.

Project developers, not the users downloading from them, have to be the ones to move off of github. That’s how this works.

Then cut yourself entirely off the internet, as it facilitates all of that.

This is honestly dumb. If you hate github then actively downloading from it and eating their bandwidth is helping your mission of killing them.

Where a project is hosted is irrelevant because if the platform shits itself one can simply just do git add remote someserver and push the whole project over to some new code hosting site.

You refusing to download from github is quite simply stupid.

Install Google opinion rewards and just accumulate the money needed to buy an ad free copy my dude.

Godot or if you like Lua, Love2D (engine used for balatro) are solid options to get started with.

You just move to user directory installation of most tools via brew on Linux. It’s not difficult. The Bazzite distro handles all this incredibly well via brew, flatpaks, and distrobox.

Flatpaks are good, especially compared to snap.

The future is atomic OS’s like silverblue, which will make heavy use of things like flatpak.

Tell me you don’t understand what you read without telling me.

What a stupid take.

I’d say look in a mirror and sit down, as you entirely don’t understand this proposal. This is not something that impacts old hardware.

Xlibre is run by a very unstable and shitty person. Pass. Just let xserver die

I legit thought I had stumbled into a shittysysadmin thread for a moment.

There is legitimately no reason to use snap for this.

Especially when this utility is a single fucking 217 KILOBYTE standalone binary.

Just download it from github and toss it in ~/.local/share/bin

If anyone is wondering the connection:

This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.

Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.
