I wish pipewire would implement/facilitate the audio features of paprefs for sharing audio across the network.It's one of the gems that makes linux very appealing for people who have multiple machines and want to connect audio.For

Correction: Apple's war on FB/Meta/Zucc cost Meta $10B. Let's not disingenuously pretend they did it out their own good hearts and for people's privacy: they did not. Also more people overly attribute this loss of M

I'm the biggest web3 hater out there, but web1 or generally the "Internet" today is not decentralized at all.It's centralized through popular software protocols being used, the adressing system, the fact that you cannot

I think it's a chicken-egg question.Live streaming is expensive, indeed, but we can do more to send people to alternative platforms to create content.Platforms will generally expand their 'free' plans once they amass users an

What boundaries?As in, who knows (besides the higher ups at youtube, of course) what are the boundaries of the YT TOS?This is the problem with your argument(if you made it, i'm not sure).Nobody knows literally what the boundaries are b

The 'you're the product' is a legitimate argument, but this argument makes sense only if you are aware of the phenomenon.When you think at the scale of Chrome/Firefox, it doesn't.The reason is simple: the average us
