Bluetooth mic is currently broken for everyone that uses wireplumber and libwireplumber.

Which is basically everyone using the up to date version of those packages.

This affects everyone. If you turn on your Bluetooth mic on it the system hard crashes.

Yes. I’m using it right now. There are many ridiculous broken things like the one mentioned above. I can give you a few more that affect everyone if you want.

I really feel like I’m being gaslit by people here on Lemmy saying that their system doesn’t randomly breaks. When major functions just break out of nowhere for everyone and stay broken for arbitrary number of weeks or months.

Indeed. I think you just have to accept a half broken system if you use Linux.

If you accept that’s the trade off for less spyware you won’t be disappointed.

Most popular games still don’t work.

And stuff randomly breaks. Most recently turning on a Bluetooth mic crashes gnome.

Apparently there’s a fix coming but insane that stuff like this can be broken for a whole month.

It’s both really.

When I was publishing my first paper after sending it in to a professor for review a few times he called me in and went line through line of the whole paper for about 4 hours explaining to me what I needed to fix and why.

A lot of it were things that came down to experience and that no book education could have given me.

People that believe they can make significant contributions need to go through the proper process. But ridiculing them before they even attempt is not the way to go.

A good point that Angela made in her video from what. I remember. I watched it a while ago was that these crackpots always have grand theories. It’s never a small contribution. In that sense. A good filter is just asking them to show why we should listen to them before putting effort into it.

You think you found a way to make warp drives work ? Show us a prototype.

Edit. I did live in the midst of academia for a while. But from my experiences. Reaching out to people in other universities. They had no real way of verifying a priori that I was who i said I was. And.no one ever told me to fuck off and very few people ignored me. From memory no one did. So it does make me wonder what kind of insane message that person is sending and to whom.

I’ve had a couple friends sprout bs like this.

What I’ve done with them is I ask them to check her twitter out with me. If more than 7 of her most recent 10 tweets at any time aren’t anti trans bs I’ll agree with them that she’s defending herself.

I’m gonna invite you to whenever you see this message go on her twitter and count. Then come back and tell me if she’s just defending herself or if she made it a huge part of her personality hating a minority.

I’ve traveled the world playing tournaments for a little bit. Won a few. Crashed out in some others…

The big conventions feel insanely cool. It’s like you’re in the game but irl. You are walking down the elevator of your hotel and it feels like just being in the game when you are surrounded by people that you with. It’s super cool having people come up and hug you and you go “oh who’s this?” And it often turns out it’s people that you have shared hundreds of hours with.

The actual competition I’ve always felt it’s all about who can play the least bad. As far as I could tell. Everyone plays worse on stage. For a multitude of reasons. At the end I was playing extremely chill and care free and it showed in the results.

Also something less obvious. Tournaments always developed their own meta. Which I always heard comments from people from home “why didn’t you follow this meta thing. Why did you play such weird strategies?”. It’s because truly if there’s a big competition going on. Everyone good is there. And it’s not even worth getting practice on the normal servers. You have to scrim over and over the people there and that develops its own meta.

Is it worth it? Uhhh. I’ll always cherish those memories. They were truly great years. But I would say for me nah. Not worth it. I’ve always wanted my career and life to be about some other things. And as much fun and surprisingly how well it all paid. I don’t think it was worth the many years I spent doing that and nothing else.

Amazing memories though.

Just checked on the map. There’s a stretch of about 11 miles that I consider to be home. I lived most of my life smack in the middle of that stretch .So about 5 and a half miles radius?

It just doesnt work half the time. I avoid them as much as possible.

I’ve been using arch since archinstall came out. I never installed it reading the wiki.

I sleep like a baby and everything works.

I’m aware of that identity. There’s a good chance I misunderstood what she said about it being just a notation.

She did. She spent a whole class on about the fundamental theorem of algebra I believe? I was distracted though.

This very nice Romanian lady that taught me complex plane calculus made sure to emphasize that e^j*theta was just a notation.

Then proceeded to just use it as if it was actually eulers number to the j arg. And I still don’t understand why and under what cases I can’t just assume it’s the actual thing.

Oof. Hard to say. I did it for so long and so early in life that I’m not even sure what would have happened had I not done it.

I don’t like mental meds though. And I don’t think any of them ever helped me. They have always either made me extremely risky behavior prone or just numb where the days blend together and months go by in the blink of an eye.

I was still a kid. At my first session I opened up hard. I spoke nonstop for the whole hour.

When I was walking out I asked them “now what?” And they replied “Now it’s a long battle”.

That stuck with me.

People have answered most questions. The gaming thing is a total lie though.

Some specific games will work kinda okay. The vast majority will work worse. And a good chunk of super popular games won’t work at all. Just dual boot and keep gaming on windows.

People in here straight up lie to push for Linux when it’s really not necessary. It’s great at what it does. And it’s improving in what it doesn’t.

Flatpaks are problematic enough on its own and I avoid them when at all possible.

I’d never want to make my whole system flatpak based. That’s the opposite of what I want.

Mhmm. I’m doing 30x10 x3 + 30x30 x1. That’s 2 hours working every three. Been working wonders.

What was the issue there ?

Why don’t you try saying something critical of China but not racist, and see if it gets removed?

Me? Sure.

The Tianamen Square Massacre was shameful.

From what I’ve read, in our instance, it’s being critical of China that gets you banned.

But I don’t know how much of that is people being straight-up racist/xenophobic and then conflating it with being critical.
