[LAU] Linux Audio podcast. episode003: commenting replies

[Louigi Verona]

"At first you sounded like you were announcing that you were giving up on
participating and maybe even using free software"

To be honest I was very surprised someone got it that way.

"Complaining wihtout offering any solutions is about the most useless thing
a human being can do with their time."

I respectfully disagree. I see no logical connection between criticism and
solution offering.

"None of these facts are specific to linux audio or even free software."

I argue that they are.
