Yep, this is the daily routine of a Linux user.

I think the comparison with Lemmy is moot, since Lemmy (or the Fediverse as a whole) isn't owned by one centralized entity. Twitter quite literally has a Nazi as its owner. Sure, progressive people still have tools at their disposal to be able to use Twitter, but I think it makes sense to question why we should use such a platform.

I guess I mostly agree, though, I disagree that it isn't acknowledged. From what I see, piracy oftentimes is explicitly precisely just because people want something for free (myself included tee-hee).

The preservation argument has gotten a lot more prevalent, and I agree that there are a lot of people who use that as a justification for pirating while not actually working to preserve the media they pirate, but I at least see far more people who don't justify it at all. Not that they have to, IMHO.

What's missing in PipeWire for it to be "pro audio"? Genuine question, since I've been making some music casually and heard from music producers that it's actually quite good.

If you're interested, I have a good experience with yabridge for running Windows VSTs in Linux-native DAWs. If it's the applications themselves, then I have no experience. I ran the FL Studio demo in Wine for a few minutes but that's essentially the end of my experience, since I have Reaper.

Seems to have an ALSA UCM configuration since 2022: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/issues/220

If I've understood this correctly, it should just work, and PipeWire should understand the interface.

Debian is good :)

I myself love Guix, though, so I get why you wanna run NixOS as well.

Yeah, sometimes people use loli stuff which is definitely a red flag for pedo behavior IMHO, but posting with a MILF is quite literally the opposite xd.

Yup, that's what happened when I found out other people were trans. I was like 'You can do that!?'. The feeling had always been there but seeing others made it obvious that you don't have to just be dysphoric and depressed.

I don't read this as the discussion disenfranchising young men, rather just stating that the broader disenfranchisement of the working class has its effect of making many men vulnerable to far right rhetoric of a day where many white cis-het men did not have to try, like at all (at least, that's the rhetoric).

I read this as saying that we need to counter these societal issues on multiple fronts; not pandering to right-wing men, while also not letting the far right rhetoric take hold of younger men. Offering a good alternative which actually helps them (leftism) instead.

I formatted all my C code in High School with the GNU style. I'm not sure my teacher even read the code :P

I mostly write Lisp today, but that GNU style still has a special place in my heart. As long as it's automatically formatted, I'm fine with whatever style, though.

I think they got democratic socialism confused with social democracy (which is understandable given the similar names). The difference is that democratic socialism is... well, socialism and that social democracy is just liberalism with a social safety net.

(Side-note: Socialism is in essence about organizing the economy democratically so the fact that tankies have coopted the term to also mean totalitarian state capitalism unless democratic is added as a prefix is such a shame.)

Check my comment. Democratic socialism is correct here. Social democracy is what you're explaining.
