It's not clear to me what Pipewire does with respect to video. The audio part makes sense, most talk of pipewire that I've seen focuses on using pipewire as a replacement to pulseaudio. But what exactly does it do for video? I

Co-ed sports for kids that train together demonstrate this well. I was a competitive swimmer from the age of 5 to 18. Girls and boys received the same instruction from the same coaches, did the same number of laps in practice, etc. Befo

If somebody robs me at gunpoint, I immediately know it happened. I can report it to the police, who will take the report seriously. If the police catch the guy (which is likely if he's a serial offender), the prosecutor will take it

In my recollection, github got popular fast because git was already the cool hype VCS. The kernel guys were the real trendsetters. It seemed like everybody and their mother was giving or attenting git presentations at work, college, LUGs,

Clean power and mountaintop removal are mutually exclusive. That is neither clean nor renewable. Among other things, the water that flows through mineshafts, collects in quarries, or over strip-mines is often toxic as hell. When you dig

Giving people the opportunity can only improve the situation. On social media platforms that permit longer comments, people often leave longer comments. And if nobody wanted to leave longer comments, then the twitter limitation would serv

No matter which side of that argument you find yourself on, the other side will reliably invoke the specter of genocide. If you side with the Israelis, you will be accused of supporting the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. And if you sid

The problem here is pigeon holing. When you are eager to classify people fast and efficiently into a small number of bins, you trample on a lot of nuance. For instance, suppose I thought abortion should be legal for the first N weeks, but

How big is the psychic industry? Most psychics I've seen have very cheap shops in the shitty parts of town. They aren't making much money as far as I can tell. Advertising though? How much is spent on that every year? It must

I'm sorry, this is a very bad take and analogy. A run inherently excludes people who cannot run. But a website need not inherently exclude the blind; websites are accessible to the vision impaired by default and it takes extra work

If advertising had no role in influencing people, then companies wouldn't spend fortunes on it.

I think the kind of product in question has a big role. A handbag should be relatively easy to inspect; look at the seams and look at the material. If both are robust and you like the way the bag looks, then it's a good bag regardles

From what I understand in America, small airplanes are required to have ELTs/EPIRBs, but airliners are exempt. I don't know why that would be, maybe lobbying.

Dehumidifiers are really just air conditioners, so at that point you might as well cut out the middle men and air condition the dish directly. An air conditioner will set you back a few hundred dollars, plus power costs.
