We would love to, if not for the accumulated knowledge which can’t be (easily) found elsewhere.

A solution to a problem that shouldn’t even exist

Strange. I have a 4a 5G model. Had some issues with lint 2 or 3 times, but everything else is fine. Might be just manufacturers skimming on quality as usual.

My Pixel is going strong for 4 years and the USB-C port works like on day one. Comparing that to my old Samsung J7 which I also had for 4 years, that port struggled 3 years in. I think most of my microUSB devices had worn out ports after a year or two of charging.

Ok, but we have to start somewhere, don’t we? This is the same type of thing like all the awareness campaigns. The effectiveness can’t be measured that easily and societal change is slow. Most people would love if things changed over night and tomorrow brought a new, better world.
How long did workers fight for basic rights? How long did people fight against monarchies and absolutists in favor of democracies?
Blizzard was the holy grail of gaming up until the rumors started floating around. Then came the evidence and the boycotts. Most of their clients have no interest in gaming news and heard just the hyper around Blizzard games (just like Bethesda). Spread the word as far as you can to reach those people and change will follow.
The student protests you mentioned started fairly recently compared to the opression and brain-washing that have been going on for decades. It takes idealists and public pressure, and not careere politicians to change society. If just a few of those see a growing mass which they can ride to secure their position, they sure will at least bring some positive action.
We can disagree on the methods used, but not on the goal. You are free to fight the same battles the way you see fit. Don’t forget that most of the traffic to Lemmy came from the Reddit boycott - myself included. I stayed and so did many others. Even if it is just a small dent in Reddit’s profits.

There is absolutely ZERO need for such hostility. If you disagree, do so respectively or if you for whatever reason can’t, just downvote and move on.

I don’t see it just as a performance, but rather a way to find like-minded peopel and build a community that will eventually get things rolling in the right direction. Every movement needs some kind of criical mass to achieve something and a call to action -no matter how miniscule and benign - is a good way of setting things into motion.

The target audience are we, the tech literate people who give a damn. It’s then on us to propagate it further to those who are affected, but unaware. Build a critical mass and things will get rolling.

POS would have been funnier

I’ve never seens this mentioned once anywhere

That last one is just a personal attack.

I second this. Pulling any info from ANY AI model without verifying it is dangerous. IMO anything that is AI generated deserves to be smacked with a ban hammer.

I wish most other sites didn’t patch out this method :-(

Bumble did chenge that. Now the woman decides who has to start the convo once they match. You can also set some prompts for the other person to reply to.

Might as well try. I have a spare SSD lying around. Tnx for the assistance!

No probs! I checked all the F-keys and non have the session initialized. The logs say that SDDM segfaulted. That’s the last message. I typed it out in the commend above if you want to take a look.

Seems like you were right. I checked my logs with the monitor turned off and the last logged message is SDDM segfaulting.

I checked the logs and can’t find anything interesting. I am not that knowlagable so you’ll have to forgive me. I used journalctl -b -k to get the log from the current boot and piped it into grep for searching. There is no mention of kde, x11, xorg or wayland. Ok, editing this while typing. SDDM is segfaulting. I have no idea what that is, but another comment mentioned it. The message reads sddm-greeter-qt(1387): segfault ar 1b .... libLayerShellQtInterface.so.6.4.1... Guess that’s the issue?

Ehm, what? I am pretty sure you are in the wrong post.

I’ll check them tomorrow. Should I look for some specific messages? Or the general KDE init process?
