It reads like different people wrote different sections of it

"nobody loves you" doesn't mean not having a lover (or fuckbuddy).

Why not ask him to personally murder a Republican governor? After all, your guy Trump would do it...

Carjackers (especially young carjackers) kill cooperating victims on the regular around here. My car isn't worth a human life, but my car isn't what's being threatened in a carjacking.

Yes, but the amount of it in the air globally is not increased by burning hydrogen. The processes that remove extra water vapor from the atmosphere operate on a much faster time scale than the ones that remove CO2.

The size of the recoverable deposit is also not that well known at this point.

Pine64 sells ANC earbuds that (for the factory firmware) doesn't have a companion app at all.

It was pretty bad at launch, but it improved a bunch just over the time I was playing it.

You said that Xorg being abandoned is the problem. How should we interpret that, other than a criticism of the decision-making process of the devs?

If you can go a few days without food and not die, that means you don't need to eat at all. Obviously.

I also hear that ALSA has some support for multiple applications per device nowadays, though I understand it is much less pleasant to use than a fully featured sound server.

FYI

Many older sound chips had hardware support for mixing multiple streams, and so the alsa drivers for those happily allowed multiple apps to open and write to the /dev/snd/whatever device. Life was good and people got used to doing it this way.

Nowadays (since like 2000 lol), sound chips generally expect a single pre-mixed stream. So the sound device for those is exclusive open. The libalsa devs made it possible to have the first app to open the sound device act as the sound server for every other app that tries to open it later. But it was complicated and fragile and just a bad idea in retrospect.
