fake. pipewire is actually awesome.
that nagging sleep issue though? yeah…
This is a joke right? Yesterday I saw a post that outlook was a problem for them
Yes it’s a joke referencing the two Outlook instances issue, but for Linux people
Haha thanks. I feel dense in retrospect
Sometimes satire is hard to detect in this joke of a reality we’re living in.
Ain’t that the truth. Have a good evening!
Funny thing, but it’s windows I got problem sound problems with. Randomly decide to ignore mic, speakers doesn’t get out of “phone call quality mod”. Every time I need to disconnect then reconnect just for my colleagues to hear me out.
Linux? No problem. Easy effects run perfectly too (except when low CPU availability… But everything at that point gets problems)
Real talk, though: why has Linux taken at least five tries (OSS, ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, PipeWire) to get audio right?!
OSS came first, then got replaced by ALSA after it became proprietary.
PulseAudio is a userspace audio server to which programs connect. It manages audio settings per app, then sends everything to ALSA. JACK is the same but with a focus on low latency.
PipeWire is a modern drop-in replacement for both, and also has support for video on Wayland.
And then there’s also sndio, ported from OpenBSD. This does basically the same thing as OSS/ALSA.
I’m still waiting for the latency to be viable for playing guitar with an audio interface.
That’s the thing about open source. Someone always thinks they can do better
That’s not a feature thats exclusive to open source though. Circular reasoning like this just distracts from the fact that software just like hardware is constantly evolving, even in personal spaces. Thinking someone can do better has no relevance on the “open source” aspect or the political leaning.
They’re not supposed to have both installed.
Pipewire is newer and emulates PulseAudio so that it can be used as a drop-in replacement. There’s literally a command called
pipewire-pulserelated to this.It makes me wonder if they really have both installed or are mistaking Pipewire’s emulation for an active PulseAudio installation, and so it’s just Pipewire that’s acting up.
I’d say reboot, but being in space might be one of those times where that’s a non-starter. In which case, they’re going to have to get their hands dirty unpicking system hooks and trying to reattach them all again as and when Pipewire’s working again, assuming it doesn’t do that automatically.
I never had a problem with either Pipewire or real PulseAudio back when that was current. I had motherboard sound physically pop, requiring the purchase of a separate sound card, but never a driver issue, so I can’t even imagine what might be going on.
I’m pretty sure this is a meme based on the real report that they had 2 instances of outlook on windows and not real.
Wait, they had two instances of not real? They are learning too much.
Dad, don’t do this in front of my friends. You’re embarrassing me.
Sorry I am autistic and often don’t know how to properly formulate my thoughts into sentences :D
Systemd just keeps asking me for govt id, I didn’t bring it with me to space
Thanks Dylan
What the hell linux distros are so far back in time that they have audio issues? I haven’t had to do anything in maybe the past decade and even when distro hopping it always worked?
Or is it super niche hardware? I haven’t heard of any real people using anything other than mobo built in audio since like 2007.
I just installed Pop!_OS this week and have this problem constantly. The point I had to write a service to watch for all my audio devices to vanish and restart the others.
“lol it’s just satire” meanwhile people are thinking audio, gaming, whatever is an issue on linux
as a few year old linux convert, getting used to it is the biggest hurdleIt’s a joke about the two outlook instance issue
I mean sure but, like… 2005 called, they want their mail order ubuntu cd back.
is it me or is this portrait intentionally stylized to look sloppy
I think the answer is that slop tends to make everything look well lit and soft like a portrait. So by association, portraits now look like slop.
Yeah I guess that is actually what is happening… combined with… 99% of pictures people see these days are taken with phones or webcams, with different methods of doing color balancing, and different standards for lighting and color grading.
Whereas it used to be, in the before days, in the last century… you’d probably most often see a person pictured in either a school photo, a mugshot, a portrait done for some other occasion, or basically a polaroid, which would be recognizabley differently exposed/styled (basically) from the rest.
wdym?
Astronauts are following the same photo format as they’ve always done, and the penguin is wearing a tuxedo.
The image looks like the contrast was increased too much for unknown reasons.
Huh.
To me it looks like an actually very well colorbalanced photo… maybe something to do with image formats, different kinds of viewing devices, some kind of HDR process working oddly?
EDIT:
Also, the background, the backdrop, its … the actual pattern of the material is that its lighter and more colorful in the center, and then does a kind of noisy circular taper to black, toward the edges.
Thats not an exposure or contrast error, its an intentional choice, meant to emphasis the center of the image, but also allow the well lit people on the edges to be clearly discernable, in detail.
Its a fairly common practice in more traditional portrait photography.
