  • Disable suspend when the laptop lid is closed:

     bash
        
sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitch=suspend/HandleLidSwitch=ignore/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf
sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend/HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind

    If you are in a TTY, you can blank the screen before closing the lid to prevent burn-in. After running this, come back later and press a key to turn the screen on again.

    alias blankscreen='setterm --blank=force; read ans; setterm --blank=poke'

  • What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?

  • When exiting an airplane, it is more efficient to remain in your row until the row ahead of you has accessed their belongings. This includes people that have no overhead luggage. Sometimes someone's overhead luggage is behind their seat and it causes noticeable congestion/delays if there are people standing in the aisle obstructing their path. An exception could be made for patrons that need extra time for mobility issues, but this is usually arranged in advance with the flight attendants. Having said that, it's best to make every effort to exit with expediency because there could be others that have very little time to reach their connecting flight.

    It's safe to generally assume that most others are equally (or more) tired of being on the plane and want to leave ASAP.

  • You leave once the ride is over! And not a moment before!

  • In the meantime, the Liberty phone seems to be the closest option for a US-made smartphone. While not entirely comprised of US-sourced components, the PCBs are manufactured in California, as well as device packaging and assembly.

    April 10 update: Right on time, the author of the OP's linked article has now published an article on the Liberty phone.

  • Sharks are too dumb to be malicious. Dolphins, on the other hand...

    Jump

  • Animals don't have the same moral framework as humans, and their actions are often driven by instinct or curiosity rather than a concept of morality. If we can somehow prove that dolphins have a concept of morality and decide to act upon what they consider immoral, then I suppose that some could be considered malicious/evil. Given their cerebral volume, I believe dolphins have the cognitive capacity for this, but I'm not aware of research that proves it. If anyone has any scientific journals on the topic, that would be an informative read.

    If they do in fact have a moral compass, that leans into a wider topic: absolute versus relative morality.

  • Purism is slowly correcting course regarding refund policies, but meaningful improvements take time. Also, the letter from "Purism" to Rossmann came from a Purism volunteer who had no authority to publicly represent the company.

  • TIL it’s the right of women of all ages to go topless wherever men can in the states of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas and Oklahoma, including all their cities.

  • Yes, Portland had decriminalized public nudity if participating in a peaceful protest, while not engaging in sexual conduct, and away from certain restricted areas like parks and schools. The annual naked bike ride is an organized peaceful protest that chooses its route appropriately as to not encroach on any areas where public nudity would otherwise be prohibited.
