This kind of question comes up in many areas. And which software you use is less critical compared to politics. Of course you can use google and advocate foss, if your question is to be taken literally. It would not be the best thing you could do, but what would even be the best thing? Using software is not helping anyone (exept for software that takes your data or mines crypto while you use it or something). You would need to donate, contribute or bring people to do these things to really help the software/devs. Use which software/service you are comfortable with using.

Blocking a user and removing content from a platform should be relatively easy and fast which should prevent organized crimes. Sueing someone afterwords takes way more resources and time.

But a platform can remove content without getting sued. Why sue them too? Because if you don’t sue their asses they don’t care.

Of course moderation takes time and can’t be perfect and this should be considered when suing the platform owners. And yes this could help the assholes, but I think you can report such behavior to the fbi or someone.

No, because these things should be private. Social media however needs some kind of moderation. edit: also go blame the user too, but that should be a given

I think to blame/sue the company that is nearest to the user should work fine. (following is hyperbolical) If you don’t do it that way, then yes it would be slippery because the big bang would need to be sued. But that makes no sense.

What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?

ALSA; low level, not really recommended to use directly. JACK; professional audio. GStreamer; idk exactly. Pipewire supports applications using any of those.

Yeah. The only language I didn’t have the right version for in the past was python. I just wanted to make a joke about standards vs implementations.

I was thinking about bash scripts that use bash specific builtins. Some of those require >= x version.

; was missing

cat
while read -r l; do echo "$l"; done <

cat -e
while read -r l; do echo "$l"$; done <

cat -n
n=0; while read -r l; do n="$((n+1))"; printf '%5d %s\n' "$n" "$l"; done <

cat -b
n=0; while read -r l; do [ -n "$l" ] && n="$((n+1))" && printf '%5d %s' "$n" "$l"; echo; done <

Do we also need more doctorates?
