Limerance

The interesting thing about this article is how rarely these subs are caught.

Most Jews are Zionists, as in they want Israel to continue to exist.

The cranky unhappy politics wonk endlessly droning on about the evils of the world are a drain on everyone else’s joy.

Cute. Might buy and then play with it for an hour. Then put it with my other unused tiny computing devices.

Could be nice as a controller for something portable.

a non free alternative I can recommend is Tricount. It’s best feature is that is also works offline.

Social Media is the reboot.

Do you know how to do that in windows? How did learn?

I‘ve gotten a library card last year and that a fantastic decision.

Depending on the Pi, you will be limited to USB2 speeds.

For new Linux users it’s best to stick with well established and supported distributions. Then it’s easier to find solutions for common problems.

It’s good practice to look up what the commands do, you enter when you find a solution. Read the man page or other documentation of the command you’re entering. It doesn’t need to be everything, just enough to get an idea what it does.

Also: take notes when you find a problem and how you fixed it. You can go back to them later.

sound and screen dimming

You can’t give a general answer to this. There are several different software stacks for sound on Linux. A typical one goes like this, but can look different.

Kernel - driver - ALSA - PipeWire - desktop environment - application - user

There might be an error at each of these levels.

In the simplest case, it’s a bad configuration, where the volume is set to 0 or mute somewhere in this stack. So try different applications first to play sound, also try playing sound from the terminal. Change volume sliders in different places.

Then go down the stack. Try playing sound with ALSA directly using aplay and speaker-test.

Finally go down to the driver and see if the hardware is detected. Depending if the soundcard is connected via USB or PCI use lsusb or lspci.

Find out the type snd chipset of your soundcard and then search if there’s a driver for Linux already. If you have new or unpopular hardware, it can take a while (a year or two) for a driver to be written, tested, and accepted into the kernel. Then it has to go downstream to the distributions until you get it. So for new hardware you might have to do some additional steps like finding a driver and compiling a kernel yourself.

It’s also worth checking the log files of the audio stack (ALSA, pipewire, or whatever your distro uses).

screen dimming

The stack looks like this:

Kernel - driver - X11/XOrg or Wayland - compositor - Desktop Environment (KDE, Gnome, etc.)

The error might be the keystroke not registering, the desktop not sending the right command, the display driver not supporting dimming, a bad or missing configuration. Again work through the stack. Find out what your distro uses.

Try setting the brightness through the terminal for example.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Found the link you got this from https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html

It doesn’t mention Sway.

The reaction to this incident were a new code of conduct, new mods, apologies, and more. https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandCommunityChanges

Was this an isolated incident? Did it have consequences later on? Was the mod removed from the Discord?

Could you provide a link to the source you copied this from?

The Sway website only links to an IRC chat, not Discord. https://swaywm.org/

Same in the official subreddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/1fk968u/sway_discord_or_matrix_or_irc_server/ Only IRC, no Discord.

That’s a violation of international maritime law.

If you want to enact a full naval blockade of a country, then that’s an act of war.

Starting a direct war against Russia is what Europe has tried to avoid.

Depending on the Pi, you are limited to USB 2 speeds for the external drive. That’s enough for many things, like streaming video, but doesn’t cut it for regular transfer of large files.

What do you think of China‘s Invasion of Korea and Vietnam around the same time?

Exactly. Berlin has a large ecosystem of left wingers of many different shades, including pretty ideologically deranged ones.

Here’s their wall of text they published with reasons for this attack.

Could also be a typo or autocorrect.

Leftist groups have made several similar arson attacks on infrastructure over the years.

It’s always the same modus operandi. They find essential cables, break in, then burn it down. It interrupts trains, public transport, phone networks, electricity, and such.

Then a long statement is published with lots of words about stopping capitalism, military production, climate change, etc.

The ones suffering are always the weakest.
