Like I said it's a personal bias, mainly about Google. The only time I had to use it was with RH's cloud and if it wasn't for their good documentation I would have dropped the client. Everytime I looked under the hood it reminded why I hate being a developer around 35% of the time.

I don't like their idea of what a docker-compose replacement should be. And reading issues and limitations about podman pod commands is very discouraging. I would love to hear what others are using and their experiences though. I avoid anything Kubernetes because of a personal bias.

>GStreamer is intended to be a swiss army knife of multimedia, PipeWire is meant to be much lower level, more like what alsa-lib, JACK or libv4l2 provides.

>PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It aims to support the usecases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack and at the same time provide same level of powerful handling of Video input and output. It also introduces a security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.

If only they could help us, Firefox supporters, by stopping with the stupid market campaigns that only damages the brand. And the amount of nagging features are becoming too much. Even with my huge user.js it's like every couple of updates I have to disable something. Last week was the extensions recommendations inside about:addons, and I already had disabled "Recommend extensions when I'm browsing". The other was an icon (Firefox Sync?) added to every single browser install I manage and a tab asking me to login. How about a do-not-nag-me flag?

In my case it's for my local development environment. I also have personal projects and I do freelancing so I was tired of having multiple computers and using virtual machines.

Getting my pc compromised in any way. My data is very important for me, both personal and from clients. Or an attacker gaining access to my accounts or servers. I also don't like telemetry but that's outside this topic I guess.

WSL 2 requires Hyper-V. I wouldn't enable that even if you pay me. Windows already crashes too much, when you add Hyper-V to the mix it's a nightmare. I don't know how what or why it just screwed any PC I enabled it. I could swear my PC also became slower but I don't have any data to back that claim.

Android is open source but without Gapps you can't use 90% of the mainstream apps or certain features (Google Play Services, Frameworks or whatever it's called now). That's why Android without Google is a complete pain, and why microG exists. We're already locked in.
