  • Way back in the day, I used PulseAudio’s network source/sink capability quite a bit; mpd running on my server with Pulse network was fun. I actually ran the Windows build of Pulse in my dual boot at the time so it could have a continuous mpd experience. (Yes I know you could just output to an encoded stream or whatever, but the seamless experience was Really Cool)

    I also didn’t really have any issues with Pulse even back then; honestly I kind of liked it. I stopped using desktop Linux well before Pipewire released, though :(




  • Always online aside, the reason Denuvo keeps being used is because for most Denuvoed games it takes a lot longer than a few days/weeks for a crack to be released, if ever - there is only one entity that cracks Denuvo anymore, and their releases are sporadic (plus they’re a bit of a … character). Plenty of games still don’t use Denuvo though, and those don’t even last a day.

    I don’t quite get slapping it on an always online game where you’re expected to connect directly to their game servers, though.
