Because programmers. Pulseaudio isn't really a down to the metal sound driver system like ALSA. It's a 'sound server' that sits atop it. Without Pulse or something like it you can't really do volume per application, or handle different sample rates easily, etc, etc.
Unlike most Lennartware, I don't think people would have a problem with what it does, if it wasn't frequently 'what's jacking up my sound'. (Also unlike most Lennartware, now that I think about it, it embodies the Unix 'layering' fetish that makes kernel devs hate ZFS and embrace the mess that is
I call it Straightwave.

By far the worst feature of systemd is its binary log files. What was Lennart smoking when he thought that was a good idea?

This might have been true when chucklenuts started writing Pulse, but hasn't been true in years. ALSA can do so much of PulseAudio's job now that there's even a compatibility shim over ALSA for folks who can't stand Pulse. https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse

Hector's still a dickhead, but I am a little sympathetic here. If you contribute to a large open-source project, the likelihood that you'll have to deal with a maintainer who's a prima donna or retarded or both is pretty high. But he's making north of £30k a year on his Patreon from this, which sort of takes away his right to complain.
Also, while checking this I did kek at the fact his top Patreon tier is "Exceptional Endorser". He's certainly exceptional.

Even if Hector hadn't spun the whole bullshit story about byuu or wasn't teetering on the edge of trooning out himself, I still wouldn't touch Asahi Linux because Mr. Rosenzweig, the man who's responsible for the GPU driver on M1 is also a tranny.

And a brony, apparently.
Good call, friend. Those are excellent reasons to steer clear of Asahi.
ETA: Actually that YouTube vid isn't him, but he references it at the end of his pony physics autism paper that I linked.

The master/slave terminology was probably discussed before but I recently found it written in the official documentation for Podman. The moralfagging is so tiring.

The UNIX model, if a ball of whatever shit two idiots in the 1970s had laying around could even be called that, is undeniably bad, but SystemD makes it even worse. I like the term an acquaintance uses for someone like Poettering, a wrecker. They're hired to infiltrate and wreck things so that they refuse to work reasonably, or gain onerous requirements. Trannies who receive corporate money for what amounts to running a protection racket with harassment instead of firebombs are more obviously wreckers, but both groups are wreckers.
However, logs should be structured as, say, easily machine-readable records appended or otherwise stored somewhere, not a wasteful message intended for humans that will likely need to be understood by a machine as well. It's much easier to make a record human-readable than a line of variable characters a proper record.

They support this shit because it means those nasty volunteers are wasting their time rather than properly competing with Apple, Google, and MicroSoft. Even better, it helps to drive away the intelligent people. At best, those companies may change their documentation, but they're just having some idiots or machines doing it anyway, so it's no loss to them.

The math is wrong because its over simplified. This is grade 12 level of physics, which is very advanced for a brony anyway. There are some lavish assumptions like about the pony mass, the gravitational constant of the eqwhatever planet or the fact that the pony is accelerating at a constant rate. But the wrongest assumption is no air resistance. Whatever the air resistance coefficient Cx would not be, air drag force is proportional to the square of velocity. What this means is that for an object as light as a pony, at speeds near mach-1 the air resistance will be a few orders of magnitude bigger than any other force acting on the pony and that his model does not make any sense at all. So he made up the entire math.
And the most lolworthy part is that he could have done it right and leave the air drag coefficient as an unresolved sybol that could later be calculated numerically based on some 3d model and pricy software, and that would be something actually carrying scientific or educational value.
Instead he just tried (and failed) at impressing other idiots with Kinematics 101 dick slinging with fancy words which makes it just pathetic.

it's even worse when you look at the history of ALSA and linux sound.
tbh at this point everyone should stop being turbofags and just use OSS (again). if it's good enough for freebsd, it certainly is for linux.

Damned if I can get my bluetooth audio to work with anything but PulseAudio. I still miss OSS on OpenBSD.
