removing him from freedesktop is probably okay, and the distributions can of course do what they want, but blocking from the wikis seems inapropriate

how does it need systemd? also, you could continue using alsa using the wrapper, or you could use pipewire

except when you for example buy a spare part, which I know some people hate having the ability to do, but some of us actually appreciate

i think its reasonable that people who sell computer monitors also demand you purchase a computer or other output device from them. Why do you feel differently here? after all, a computer monitor needs a computer or other output device to work, no?

most traffic noise is not the engine, its tires and other such noises. modern cars, including combustion ones, make very very little sound

edit: for cars only, motorcycles etc make more

and asserting this to be true, do you really think these kinds of laws in ANY kind of way helps?

oh please, everyone knows that its referring to their immigration status or legality of stay in country.

you surely must realize that any rational person just shrugs off listening to what else you might say when you start with such ridiculous interpretations

the problem here is, that a large large group of people do want something "to do with them" (and "them" not just being "maga losers"), but that for NORMAL users that sign up and use bluesky, there are others who choose that they must not socialize with them.

normal people dont understand how they can join specific communities or instances or whatever it is on the specific platform, they want something like "twitter" and then thats where they are, they dont want "some weird twitter instance thats not the main one"

and do other countries really put their criminal official in jail? do they establish any kind of restitution to the victims?

can you really point to a single government where they dont illegally communicate outside of logged channels, or any such things, to scam the voters? or where they intentionally promise something they have zero intention of keeping, or lying about whether its possible. and of course some such things are not considered crimes because the very people who would then be violating the law would be the ones who MAKE the law.

the vast majority of politicians worldwide are super criminals doing things that if you or I did even 1/100 what they did, they would lock us up and throw away the keys.

its not really difficult to filter spam off. I spend more time dealing with physical spam in my snailmailbox than my email spamfilter

spam filters are effective at dealing with that

seems like he or she might have an anger and racism problem? "white people have been making these for years?"

PERHAPS instead of being angry at white people, they should look a bit into what they do in their own backyard.

yeah, downvote away :) but it doesnt make it not true, and thats why the downvotes will sting the downvoters so hard

and I propose that I take a 15% cut of all apple devices sold outside of apple stores. this should be super fair right? (of course one cant even fault them 100% since vast majority of people have been conditioned to think stealing more than that from everyone is 100% legit)
