Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn’t match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?...
Sometime HSP just stopped working so now I have to do calls with my laptop built-in mic.
Also, some programs like Zoom just fail to use the right output device no matter what I choose in settings. I just have to make headphones the fallback device for anything to work.
But the most annoying thing is Linux somehow stealing the playback when my headphones are connected to multiple devices. Even when nothing plays on the computer but does play on the phone, there’s no audio. I have to disable/disconnect my computer to use headphones with phone when my computer is in range.
Visit takeout.google.com and select Google Podcasts to export your Google Podcasts data in OPML format.
I wonder when that became a thing. I migrated at the beginning of the year and had to manually add all subscriptions because Google Podcasts had no way of exporting anything.
That’s the case for many counties but that’s only between the banks within that country because that’s all that one government can require banks to implement. The EU has to do something to get things moving between counties, otherwise nobody is going to agree on anything voluntarily.
To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?...
I might be the minority who was affected by this but how they handled the physical goodies last year was the last straw for me. Unlike all the spammy contributions that rush to it, I didn’t rush creating some pointless PRs on the first day or whatever. My last PR finished its embargo period a few days before the end of October. They even sent out a congratulations email, but when I clicked the link and went to the website there wasn’t anything there. Only when I checked their discord, I saw others with the same confusion and someone semi-officially saying they might’ve run out. It’s obvious they didn’t even ever consider running out and had no system in place to handle that.
Other than that, some of the rules they introduced in recent years were also so detrimental to meaningful PRs even though they thought it’d motivate that, instead of spammy PRs. Clearly that didn’t work at all and actually had the opposite effect in some cases. It was a lot easier to get spammy PRs counted than meaningful ones.
I could rant in more detail about the latter if you’re interested, but I’ll refrain right now.

That allows processes to be reused but the interpreter must still be set up cleanly each time and torn down. That includes things like open files, database connections and application configurations.
Pascal is a simpler and more limited language, so it’s not entirely surprising. It also has less and smaller standard libraries to link in.
As to C# and F#, what’s wrong with the difference? The functional coding style of F# prefers immutable data over possibly mutable ones in C# and that requires more allocations and garbage collection.

Only mic and camera? It should also turn off GPS, accelerometer, etc. Filming the inside of my pocket isn’t the biggest tracking concern. People are just afraid someone’s watching them masturbate all the time.
