Oh heh, yeah, o’course! I wasn’t really meaning that seriously, more just riffing off the thread of silly $HOME expansions. :3

Probably good to mention that in case someone comes along and thinks /home/$(whoami) is actually a good idea though, hah.

(Mac has normal users’ homes in /Users!!)

Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on and pop it in the toaster oven for a couple minutes and now you’ve got cinnamon toast!

… Feet cinnamon toast.

I think they probably mean that voting for Trump precludes people from being good and kind?

Bit specific, but for opening an audio device other than default, you should use the API of a sound server. Pulseaudio’s for instance. The new hotness is Pipewire, and it has its own API, but it also supports the Pulseaudio API and AFAWK most clients (apps and things) are still using that.

The sound server sits on top of ALSA and handles all the routing and mixing and shit. ALSA is lower level than what you need as an app/user program dev.

(Pipewire also supports the JACK API. Music apps and such used to use JACK because it was lower latency than Pulseaudio. Which meant you had to stop Pulse and start JACK and lose all sound from your other apps and it was a right pain. Pipewire just does both.)

A) Fuck ICE.

B) Let’s mock them for being evil, not for being fat. There’s actual reasons to hate them, going “oh haha look how fat they are” just hurts regular fat people.
