Not just Iranians, something odd it's happening with the JPL people.
Shitty and brainwashed people in Middle East comes in both ways.
Can't wait to the Chinese secularizing all the Abrahamic bullshit by brute force -not by war, but my mere productivity and good reasoning- throwning all the Abrahamic legacy to the dust bin.
So, y'all think you are the center of the world, Mediterranean fools? The Chinese got everything you brag from Math in the same way (basic algebra, proto-integration). And, if any case... the Egyptians were before any Abrahamic nonsense. Heck, the Exodus was just a primitive form Nationalist brainwashing, a la North Korea. So, the days for the Mediterranian Jingoism -and oil, of course are numbered the day the Chinese set a working fusion reactor.
These middle eastern "civilizations" which torture and mutilate their own children... it's hard to see such barbarity winning out in the very long run against intelligence and human rights.
violence is the undisputed rule of life. rationalize the power of intelligence to whatever degree you may .... the bigger guy is still gonna wipe the floor with the smaller one. and if an entire homogenous block of the world agrees on a core set of violent tenets, they are bestowed a greater capacity to violence.
The issue was the rcs files were simply corrupt - no matter what tool you used the older deltas were just bad. Just people didn't notice/care as they were "old" revisions.
And I couldn't find any tool that supported the mks "project" files that linked multiple rcs revisions into a single "commit", so something a little custom was needed anyway. At least for the ancient mks version used.
Quite a bit of effort was put into it during the "official" migration, but they eventually gave up too as even the oldest backup archives they could find had the same issues.
The govemerment, 1984-like agencies and some others in Middle East will truly hate Guix and reproducible computing being portable to Powerpc and even legacy machines. There more heterogeneous your setup, the better.
Good. Let the slopwares collapse into themselves, from GNU/Linux, to Hurd (sadly) and Ubuntu.
Trisquel will be damned, but Hyperbola BSD -after Hyperbola GNU- will be like the Phoenix bird.
Anything Non-Zork. Even Adventure from Don Woods was half-consistent in some places. But having an "odd" geometry matched perfectly the environment of a cave.
Even so, surely it would have been easier and better to just fix or replace dmix (in kernel, in the existing data path) than introduce a userspace daemon, break API compatibility, and so on.
It’s been 20 years and pulseaudio is still flaky / high latency / incomprehensible. Professional flows that care use stuff like jack.
PipeWire replaced Pulse like five years ago; who is using Pulse at this point to make statements like "20 years" meaningful? It isn't really an ongoing concern.
Doing audio mixing well is something that is, for a number of reasons, hard to do in kernel. And if you're still using pulseaudio, why? The rest of the world's moved to pipewire, which also provides a jack-compatible interface.
TBH pipewire works much better than pulse, up to the point to replacing jack itself. But DMIX worked fine for non-professional user needs and with very low CPU usage. Yes, it was Jackd for the professional but Windows had ASIO drivers too.
This is the era where I was the lead on Ubuntu laptop support, and I promise you that dmix was not a trivial option to make things work out of the box.
I always had some Knoppix live CD/DVD which had better defaults than Ubuntu itself on hardware autodetection and setup. I think they used kudzu from RH for a good while plus custom patches.
Bear in mind the Knoppix creator had a blind wife, up to the point to creating A.R.I.A.N.E, one of the best distros for the blind (and it was merged with main KNOPPIX, making the distro one of the best accesible ones out there). Thus, proper audio mixing was mandatory.
With the bundled installer you could install it to as a Debian Testing install in the spot. As I didn't have internet at home, I remember using Knoppix before Debian Sarge because it had a huge amount of things to play and test without worrying about odd hardware setups.
Some of the context here is that that at the time, Ubuntu was aiming to work on as close to 100% of existing PCs as possible to make it available to the largest number of users. Knoppix had a lot of great features and also was very opinionated, and that had an influence on the set of hardware it worked well on by default. I evaluated basically every decision made there in terms of whether Ubuntu should adopt the same ones, and there were several that were just not good choices in terms of supporting the widest set of hardware possible.
dilloc began before the 3.3.0 release, in some previous git commits and it was amazing.
It's pretty easy to write a redirect menu item calling a script similar to a plumber/xdg-open
replacing the JS url's with non JS ones, a la Libredirect under Firefox/Chromium.
