@forrestguid #PipeWire - like #SystemD - fixes a lot of issues and I think it's unfair that people literally harass people like #Poettering that do this vital yet thankless work.

People should be thankful that people like him put up with toxic trash of Stallmanists and Haters, because I would've reconsidered if the pay to do so is good enough.
