It’s not even to make money, they already do that. They need GROWTH. More money this quarter than last or the stockholders don’t get paid.

I think given the current political situation this is the right call. No one knows what the Russian government might compel otherwise innocent devs to do.

That said, we (and I mean society, not any particular individual) should be mindful that we don’t slip into bigotry.

I saw this quote a while back “if you only make code that works in chrome you aren’t a web developer, you are a google developer.”

I use Ubuntu, I’ve used Arch, Debian, Fedora, Pop and many others too. I use Ubuntu because all my hardware works out of the box. Snaps are inoffensive imo. I have just as many issues with abandoned debs or flatpaks and I usually just use whatever package is more maintained.

The most annoying thing about Ubuntu is how slow the packages are sometimes to make it to a release.

I find the tech interesting, but the rush to commercialize it was a bad idea. It’s not ready yet, total uncanny valley.

So long-term it did not resolve my issue. I also tried updating pipewire using PPA repositories. still have the issue.

I just installed last week, could that really be messed up already?

 

I am running Kubuntu 24.04 and I have an issue I can't seem to figure out. I am using my onboard intel sound card with optical output. The sound is great, but every 5-10 minutes the sound turns into a loud mess of noise (its hard to describe, kinda like static).

After some tinkering I have determined that what is happening is the sound card is outputting volume much higher than expected. If I turn the volume down to just above mute, I can hear the sound normally its just badly over-driven. The volume levels in my mixer look fine, so I'm really confused. If I am in firefox, muting the sound for about 10 seconds will resolve the issue when I unmute, but if I am playing a game, I have to quit to fix it.

I've been searching the web for several days and found a couple possible solutions that involve disabling snd_hda_intel powersaving modes via module options. But they have had no effect.

I also found one article with a nearly exact description of my issue on Archlinux forums, but the guy never figured it out, it just started working after an update one day.

Is there anything else I can try to fix this?
