Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://masto.doskel.net/@doskel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@doskel</a> you can thank <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Poettering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poettering</a> et. al. for the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PipeWire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PipeWire</a> stuff...

Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://piou.foolbazar.eu/@joel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@joel</a> I mean, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SystemD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SystemD</a> wasn't done by <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Poettering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poettering</a> because he had no hobbies - far from it.<ul><li><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SysVinit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SysVinit</a> sucks and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> needs to modernize and change solely because many components like <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xorg</a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSS</a> / <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ALSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ALSA</a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/OpenGL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenGL</a> are to be retired or are already only on life support.</li></ul>SystemD, like <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PipeWire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PipeWire</a> is a "necessary evil" because the preexisting solutions are slow, not adaptive, cumbersome or just don't work well at all (i.e. mixed (<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DPI</a> & <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/HiDPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiDPI</a>) screens with <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#X11</a> are just broken!<ul><li>People had years if not over a decade to fix those but they didn't and it's clear that a new & clean slate was necessary...</li></ul>
