I tried Wayland again and it still fucking sucks. What is even the point? :akkounamused:

@mischievoustomato @newt
The window of WinAMP running under wine inside a Puppy Linux VM running in VirtualBox patched to use kvm as underlying virtualisation technology doesn't get scaled up properly — the version of Arial font from Office'97 looks blurry! What a mess, how do people even use this shit if it can't handle even such common use cases properly! 😤

@m0xee @mischievoustomato dude I fucking hate that Winamp is still literally the only good music player that works in L'Eunuchs. This fact drives me crazy.

@newt @mischievoustomato
I don't even have a music player in most of my systems, I only have cmus on the one plogged into the amp, listening to music on a computer is overrated 🧐

@m0xee @mischievoustomato at this point, I fully expect to learn that you have some ungodly Firewire contraption to listen to music.

@newt @mischievoustomato
I do of course, but it's not even necessary as I mostly listen to CDs anyway? Does that cover the expected level of retroelitism or do I have to up my game and switch to a vintage Vitrola?

@newt @mischievoustomato
Turns out Apple has dropped support for Firewire: discussions.apple.com/thread/2
Basic functionality still works — on newer Macs with two converter dongles, but it's impossible to use it for professional audio in this state.
