I don't think the regular user even knows what WebGL and WASM are, they will just wonder why their browser game isn't working and then google the cryptic setting that they have to change to get it to work.

No. I don't want to continue this discussion based on this line of questioning, sorry. Let's be good people and not fight, I'm sure you're a kind soul.

Please avoid making this argument, it's a false equivalence. Youtube is not self-censoring those things. If you want me to ask a similarly misleading line of questioning based only on trying to draw false equivalence from principles: C

I've read about plenty of this, all of that is completely normal. Every election people will try to game the system. It happens. We deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes we do a better job than other times. It's not fund

I don't see how I am missing the point. Everything you've said would be mostly within the guidelines. Where you would get into trouble is if you did start saying "Nixon really won" or otherwise trying to say the election

You spent a lot of time explaining this and I agree with everything you said. But that's a really long-winded technologist's way of putting it. I'd personally phrase in a simpler way: music is useless and has no value. It ser

I tried really hard to like SerenityOS but I think the decision to make it a UNIX-like POSIX system is a mistake. The POSIX API is outdated and broken in a lot of ways. I wish people would stop making UNIX-like operating systems, we have en

With a reputation system you'd still want to do your due diligence and manually check things. Even the most trustworthy people make honest mistakes sometimes.

Not sure about other browsers but this is incorrect for Chrome and Firefox. They both have flags to disable WebGL and WASM. Please be careful not to spread misinformation, we owe it to ourselves to research our posts well.

You may want to try this project: https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse But I don't recommend using only ALSA without a sound server on a desktop, the usability of it is pretty bad.

Well I don't usually need to connect audio from Firefox directly into a DAW or synthesizer. And technically that could still be done with Jack, it's just a bit harder to do because you have to create additional pulseaudio sinks fi

Sorry, I don't mean the article is trolling or bad-faith. What I mean is that the author seems to have been trolled and the article is only responding to that trolling. That's just my guess after seeing this 4chan wiki and after s

I'm not a GNOME developer and I have no idea what you mean by self-righteous. I don't particularly care what the "right" way to do things is, I can only notice areas where there are problems and then give suggestions. An

I don't know about alsa, I don't remember what happened when I tried that years ago. Yeah Unix permissions is bad, Pipewire is definitely better there. The security is a big improvement but I also wouldn't say that's any

I think they break third party apps because it's a real pain to keep maintaining a bunch of incompatible old versions of an API forever. Also your last paragraph doesn't follow to me because the whole reason these apps exist is be

I can't agree, ever since jack2 I actually never had any problem getting it to work with pulse. You may be thinking of jack1. Pipewire does make it easier to do this though.

In my opinion, that article is pretty insubstantial and is mostly just responding to the same 4chan trolling mentioned in this wiki. It's just not a productive line of discussion and doesn't make any sense in the actual context of

I've noticed a lot of smaller creativity/productivity apps are not available in distro repos. They're far too niche to get attention from distro packagers. However a lot of them are in Flathub and they work on any distro. I f

I don't really want to argue with you but I think you're still basing this on false information or on misconceptions, I'll try to clear things up. Of course you are free to use or not use whatever packaging solution you want
