goodguyamerikan··on Pipewire to replace Pulseaudion on Ubuntu 22.10
Take a moment to thank leonard Potter, who despite death threats from ignorant "fanboys" and incessant mockery from people who never wrote a line of non-bash code has made immense contributions to Linux being usable on desktop. If someday Linux does end up being usable by the average Joe, Mr potter would have had a huge role to play in it. Let's trmenytgat pipewire stands on the shoulder of giants and it replaces an excellent system (which sadlt rarely happens in Linux space)
goodguyamerikan··on The Verge is so bad they have me defending Apple [video]

But those are also likely to be the kind of users who would build bots and extensions for your website and help its growth.

There was a discussion around that but that was scuttled because aot was com inng up
goodguyamerikan··on Amazon’s Twitch, Discord, 4chan face New York AG probe after Buffalo shooting
I remember before Trump came and there were Islamist attacks across the world and praying was considered enough. (Besides worrying about victimized muslims). These actions seem excessive to me.

If powershell starts up instantly, I'll have to say goodbye to zsh
goodguyamerikan··on Kindle, ePub, and Amazon’s love of reinventing wheels
In Android I meant (sorry I wasn't clear) Your comment further shows how disingenuous their stance is
goodguyamerikan··on Kindle, ePub, and Amazon’s love of reinventing wheels
Truth is every last company on earth wants to monopolize and lock its customers. There's a reason why king of pretend-openness Google doesn't support carddav and caldav
goodguyamerikan··on Age 1.0 – PostgreSQL extension for graph database
Does anyone understand the official status of this and future development expectations I can hold?

This looks like the news is on pistgres official page so it has some official backing but the project itself isn't by the core team?

goodguyamerikan··on Tell HN: Discord Ignores Right to Erasure
Pretty sure he/she has a team that he/she only a public face of
