Yeah, it was it. Why was it starting by default though? I don't recall fiddlying with pipewire at all...

I created a new user on this system but anything with sound plain doesn't work - the main user of the system has no issue though.

I already added the new user to the audio group, pulseaudio and pipewire are started by xfce during login too.

For example, when trying to open an mp3 file with mpv I get this:

[ao/pulse] The stream is suspended. Bailing out.

[ao] Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse'

Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

Audio: no audio

I figured my comment was more dismissive than helpful so I'll elaborate a bit. I was following the website a year or so ago and noticed they were constantly updating their articles so I subscribed to their RSS feed.

Then I saw a lot of conspiralogical weirdness, enough to quickly retaliate and unsubscribe.

They also have an article about forum software where they praised some imageboards while dismissing raddle because it's leftist.

There's another website about web browser privacy called privacy watchdog or something, it's partially based on the DD's articles but with no conspiralogical BS in it (unless they're added it recently).

The author of the article is a COVID denier if I remember correctly.

Be safe, and good luck.

Thank you good stranger!

@[email protected] I don't see your reply from my instance for some reason so I'll reply this way.

Try to get asylum in a less awful country.

Easier said than done unfortunately.

BTW, just want to point out that the implicit assumption here is that OP is queer, and wants to fund a support group. But it’s also possible that OP is homophobic, and wants to find queer people in order to publicly out them.

This is a fair concern although I doubt bigots would ask here instead of e.g. Reddit.

Yeah... I also read their wikipedia pages and they seem to sell a lot of sensitive info of their users. Not very trustworthy unfortunately.

Thank you, I'll look into it!

Most people are on a local FB-like social media that's extremely toxic. Also requires a phone number for registration... but I will think on it.

Someone actually recomended datapps to me to find queers so thank you for this warning. Though I would skip them anyway because they're such a privacy nightmare.

There's an option in settings, although it isn't perfect.

Experience doesn’t matter because if you’re inexperienced you have to go outside your Comfort zone, if you’re experienced you got there because you like going outside your comfort zone and you will constantly stay in that state.

I was experimenting a lot during my early Linux months but then I found what works for me and settled with it. I don't leave my comfort zone much anymore.

Not really, uBO blocks some known stuff like cookie notices while Kill Sticky removes every fixed element on a webpage. It's actually more similar to Reader View.
