@valigo Got a dual boot asus, only got problems when i reboot from Win to lin. Weird stuttering. Turning it off and on, booting straight into linux, everything works fine.

I just thought of a very good "no sound on Linux" joke, but then I realized that I didn't have any sound-related issues on Linux in many years at this point. Or rather ever since PipeWire became mainstream. When was the last time you had sound issues on Linux? The joke was "on Linux, nobody can hear you scream" btw, but typing it out now it's kinda cringe ngl.

@kotosharik @sult "The Sea! Alas! I have not yet beheld it. But deep in the hearts of all my kindred lies the sea-longing, which it is perilous to stir. Alas! for the gulls. No peace shall I have again under beech or under elm." Вот что Леголас сказал про этот момент )

@sult @valigo Там скорее начинаешь чувствовать невыразимую неизбывную печаль из-за гибели мира с которым ты очень глубоко связан, сочиняешь душеразрывающую балладу на пицот тыщ строф с перечислением всех этих Финголфиналгонов, и вот тогда уже да.

я недавно задумался о том, что будет с настоящим бессмертным/неуязвимым существом через пару десятков миллиардов лет, когда от земли ничего не останется, от солнца тоже не особо много че, а ты где-то болтаешься в пустоте весь такой неумирающий

@frizkedblizz I mean, regardless of what userspace you're gonna use for audio, eventually it all arrives to Alsa :)

@valigo i had sound on artix before i even installed pipewire

@AGulev I had this with Zoom periodically, but not with Google Meet, or with Slack/Discord built-in thingies.

It's been a while since I last used Linux as my daily OS, but during our morning calls Linux users are usually easy to recognize: microphones often don't work on the first attempt, and something always seems to go wrong. Of course, this is probably more of a Linux software issue (device prioritization and similar things) not the OS issue, but it keeps happening over and over again.

So far the most common source of issues for people are: 1) bluetooth speakers/headphones 2) niche laptops with spotty driver support Makes sense!

Еще как предвещало - примерно так и прописано ) Ну не прям с космическими аппаратами и прочим сай-фай, а вот метафизически. Здесь, на самом деле, еще глубже. Потому что нас в общем и целом ждет та же судьба не Земле, если мы её не спасём через миллиард лет или типа того, когда тектоническая активность остановится и greenhouse effect начнет превращать Землю в Венеру. Ну и если проводить эти параллели, то космические эльфы могли бы "просто" беречь свою Арду )

@valigo ты эльф разрабатываешь мега космический аппарат сваливаешь со сраной земляшки в новую звездную систему через миллиард лет земля взрывается умираешь хотя ниче не предвещало

@_dyuz The only bluetooth device I have is PS5 controller and it works fine :D

@valigo no issues with sound for many years. but still cant make bluetooth headphones with mic work properly

@777Nikitf Windows user found!

@valigo Never

@ninjaaron_0 Everybody seem to hyper-focus on network part of the question. But what about all the local stuff? JPEG images, true type fonts - stuff like that

@valigo I am inclined to speculate that this has no practical cost, because the NIC translates the network stream to the appropriate bit order for the CPU, and byte-swapping is a 1-cycle operation and is susceptible to pipelining. Plus, you're mostly waiting on the network anyway...

Kinda crazy how little-endian CPUs won, but then network stuff and major binary formats are big-endian. So we are all sentenced to reverse bytes forever.

@Milandesunee By making a big commercial game in a programming language you are also making. What is better to test the ability of your programming language than a big fat commercial product?

@valigo By releasing a game on very recent hardware?? What?

This is how you stress-test the programming language btw

The difference is - people who say "all art is political" usually mean that this is some inherent characteristic of the art itself. In case of Tolkien, he lets YOU, the READER, to find politics in his art IF YOU WANT TO. See the difference? For example, one could argue that in LoTR war is good, actually, because it allowed Free Peoples of Middle Earth to get this over with. And they have thought of few alternatives that would keep the conflict localized, or frozen, potentially for a thousand years.

@valigo @rfleury In OT, aren't u re-affirming all art is political? Tolkien disliked locking the reader's imagination into a real world event through allegory, rather than letting the reader exercise through applicability. "War is bad" is political, so is "War is bad, because this War".

This is one of the worst manifestations of the spiritual rot in modern media. Authors use art as propaganda to attempt to dominate the minds of their audience, ruining the art in the process. Tolkien said it best:

@songohab @rfleury In English. I read it in Russian a long time ago when I was a kid, so don't remember any of it and can't compare with the translation. But I would encourage you to try it in English. At first you're gonna look a lot of words up, but you will get used to the language very soon.

@valigo @rfleury Are you reading it in English or translated version ? I wonder if original is the best way to consume this content

@mvidia84853 Nvm I saw your bio. It's acme text editor from Plan9
