Do any audio filters/plugins exist that are effective at disguising a voice in real time, such that it would be difficult to identify the speaker / match against samples of their unfiltered voice? (Pitch shifting is easy and widel

Steam creates its pressure-vessel containers using namespaces, and there is a Steam flatpak, which I think was made possible by some work a few years ago specifically for the purpose of nesting. I don't know if that work applied to fla

You might be confusing the .deb package format with the release cadence of the Debian Stable distribution.

MatrixRTC (aka Element Call) looks promising. I hope it develops into something nice.

You might consider Flatpak packaging. Flathub offers the org.winehq.Wine package, which you can use in the base and base-version fields of your own package's manifest. It wouldn't cause your code to be statically linked with W

Debian Stable is my distro of choice these days, mainly because it respects my time by avoiding frivolous changes, without getting in my way when I want to change specific things. Setting it up for modern gaming hardware required a couple o

That doesn't align with their choice of $HOME/.cache (to which users need to navigate much less frequently than $HOME/.local/share), nor with how few items $HOME/.local typically saves from landing in $HOME, nor wit

By "not publicly viewable", I mean that bsky.app (like Twitter) seems to demand login before showing the post. I don't see any sign of Pike restricting access to it. So I think your flag is unwarranted.
