I think the meme-ness here is shaky, but I for one will allow it.

stop, this

Stop calling me Stop.

I absolutely love the Apple 3.5mm wired earpods. I have several spare for when apple decides it’s bored of them and stops supply.

[TVs] rated for long continuous use

Or, what we used to just label “TVs”. The ones not rated for long continuous use should get a new name; perhaps “weak TVs”.

English as far as I know doesn’t even have a word in common usage for it.

Staling. One L.

In reality, it’s “gone soggy from humidity”. The plastic layer ‘preserves crispness’.

typically happens when you’ve switched users via su or sudo rather than logging in directly,

1. I wish typical scenarios were the only ones we had – it’d be a trivial solution.
2. This is a largely unmolested install because I don’t want to be debugging my desktop. If I had a point other than whingeing, here, that would be it: when the default, vanilla, least-tuned setup falls over on the regular, then it’s fundamentally a failure at its “you had one job” task.

it got really hard to use pulse

Pulse was another tumour by Lennart. I have no regrets in its passing.

You mean someone thinks they need to do better not by enhancement but by complete replacement. See: Systemd and its own flailing.

actually awesome

It shits the bed about weekly for me. I’m glad it’s working reliably for someone.

Wow. I’ve just stepped out of the office for a rage break because pipewire shat the bed again. It’s amazing how sound seems to be a solved problem 5 or 10 years ago but now it’s just offal.

edit:

$ systemctl status --user pipewire
Failed to connect to user scope bus via local transport: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=<user>@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)

wheeeee

Your first question is a challenge to understand and could do with clarification. The second question is orthogonal to the disputes and membership situation, and may be unaffected if the people involved don’t conflate the two.

Literally’s absolutely over-used, and usually used wrongly. I think we’ve lost our collective memory of Valley Girl Dialect – so grody.

“The ask” and “the spend” are a newer bit of scumbag coke-addled salesman dialect that has crept out into the light. Someone will ask “what was the ask on this?” where they mean to ask what the request or question was. Similarly, salesman use “the spend” in place of “the invoice” or “the budget”.

It’s like when “do lunch” or “action this” was used unironically.

The list of people who let Perfect be the enemy of Good grows at the end of every American school year. Republicans LOVE single-issue voters since they’re easy to manipulate. Source: 2024 election.

I thought Australia implemented some sort of ID verification?

To answer the question as written, you did think so. I’m mostly certain of this. Glad I could help.

Heh.

She’s of no further value, you mean? You forget that Trump doesn’t pay his debts.

#bothSides, right?

Nah. The vendors will kill their ecosystems earlier and all the established internet-of-trash will be e-waste quicker. We’re still using a portal-TV unit and loving it, for example, but so many other products brought out during the sudden rush will be killed while still on umbilical .

Ha! They used to run Unix.

Or …so I hear.
