How is PulseAudio still there? I mean, sure the protocol is still there, but it’s handled by pipewire-pulse on most systems nowadays (KDE specifically requires PipeWire).

Also, PulseAudio was never designed to replace ALSA, it’s sitting on top of ALSA to abstract some complexity from the programs, that would arise if they were to use ALSA directly.

TBF they only switched to building from git after they were notified of the backdoor yesterday. Prior to that, the source tarball was used.

I assume you already tried disabling WiFi power saving in the steam deck developer settings, right? Just asking because you mentioned this in neither of your two posts and because I also fixed my 5GHz connectivity issues this way.

EDIT: Nvm, overlooked it in your first post.

Automatic Semicolon Insertion (ASI) has (sadly) been a part of JavaScript longer than 2016. I'm not sure exactly when it was introduced, but this document from 2009 already contains it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120418215856/https://ecma262-5.com/ELS5_Section_7.htm#Section_7.9

IMO it's bad practice to rely on ASI since the semicolons may not get inserted where you expected them to. The following snippet

const x = 0
const y = x
[1, 2, 3].forEach(console.log) 

is interpreted as

const x = 0;
const y = x[1, 2, 3].forEach(console.log);

which raises a TypeError.

There are more examples of ASI not doing the right thing on the web, so I don't agree with "Javascript doesn't need semicolon".

Ah, hatte früher auch eine Zeit lang ein StartSSL Cert. Dass die so shady waren und dass es sie mittlerweile gar nicht mehr gibt wusste ich nicht.

Nett hier mal etwas aus der Region zu lesen. Fahre öfters mit der Bahn und habe mich letztens erst gefragt ob die Steuerung der Signale durch Ziehen von Drahtseilen nicht total störanfällig ist, vor allem wenn diese Drahtseile teilweise kilometerlang sind. Es ist aber definitiv ein netter Anblick diese alten, mechanischen Signale an der Strecke zu haben, statt der üblichen Lichtsignale.

Laut dem Artikel wurden hier ohnehin irgendwelche Kabel geklaut.

Sometimes it does take a few seconds for me as well, but not even close to a full minute. That must’ve been on an HDD, right?

Sure, but in this case the bash prompt tells us that it’s located in the root directory.

The explanation is most likely incorrect though. A more obvious cause of this error is that the current working is the root directory (/) and that they’re logged in as a non-root user, thus trying to create the file /woman without sufficient permissions.
