  • This aspect of pipewire, the possibilities of routing audio and video between applications and devices, should be amazing. It’s not, because most apps try to do it themselves.

    Give me an OBS where everything is a pipewire sink, and the result is a pipewire source. Give me Firefox that doesn’t talk to cameras and microphones, but opens pipewire sinks for inputs and sources for outputs (this bit is already ok). At that point I’ve got a full studio setup with remote interview capability perfect for podcasts, audio or video.

    Maybe this is all coming together slowly and I’m out of date, but last time I tried it was so frustratingly close but not possible.












  • BLM and ACAB are very American centric movements/sentiments. Hence why I took your comments to be American focused.

    Whilst I’ve heard the phrase “thin blue line” before, it’s never been something associated with racist overtones or subjugative ones in my experience. More that the police is a small community protecting the larger population.

    As such, someone using it context of not allowing the proliferation something is reasonable, if possibly histrionic in this case.







  • Just learn the basic POSIX commands (there’s probably 20-25) and understand pipes. Then you can do pretty much anything you’re likely to need from the command line. Sure, there will be more modern flashy friendly tools that come along. Some you’ll integrate into what you do. Some won’t have enough staying power to remember.

    No notes. No googling or LLM. Just don’t skip to the end.
