2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
- Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Bluetooth mic is currently broken for everyone that uses wireplumber and libwireplumber.
Which is basically everyone using the up to date version of those packages.
This affects everyone. If you turn on your Bluetooth mic on it the system hard crashes.
Yes. I’m using it right now. There are many ridiculous broken things like the one mentioned above. I can give you a few more that affect everyone if you want.
I really feel like I’m being gaslit by people here on Lemmy saying that their system doesn’t randomly breaks. When major functions just break out of nowhere for everyone and stay broken for arbitrary number of weeks or months.
Interesting. I have a Bluetooth headset, but I haven't used it in months. I may give it a try next week and see if I can make myself late for a meeting I don't want to attend.
I try not to wait for a patch on Linux, because many packages move at the speed of volunteerism. Although, I find that Microsoft generally moves at a speed of "well fuck me", which is...different, at least.
That doesn't mean I'm stuck waiting, though. I've generally been able to roll back to a version before the bug.
Searching for "libwireplumber mic crash" brings up a number of solution discussions across a surprising number of OSes.
As you said, it seems widespread!
If you share your OS versions, someone here may be able to help with your specific path to relief.
The arbitrary weeks and months thing is good feedback. Thank you. I often recommend Linux Mint, and I think people like me need to amplify the message "don't wait, roll back" for new Linux adopters.
