Ukraine hits back against Rheinmetall CEO's housewives' drones comments

Ukrainians have criticised German arms maker Rheinmetall after its CEO dismissed their ​country’s drone-focused defence innovation as basic technology put together by housewives in kitchens.

For Kyiv, ‌drones have been critical to its war effort against Russia and are a source of pride as the country has fended off a bigger and better-armed enemy in four years of fighting.

“If every housewife in ​Ukraine can really make drones, then every housewife in Ukraine can be the ⁠CEO of Rheinmetall,” Zelenskiy told reporters in a WhatsApp chat.

"Military spending as a way to preserve lives and sovereignty? Where's the profit in that!?"

I got some new #bluetooth earphones with a relatively high quality #mic, but it sounds really disappointing on #Linux, even with #PipeWire handling codecs. Initial investigation seems to suggest it's just *how things are* on Linux.

Has anyone had any success getting high quality bluetooth mic audio on Linux?
