  • Thank you. In my case, unfortunately, changing the HandleLidSwitch* options didn't work. Luckily changing udev settings did the job!

  • Thank you for this 🙏. I tried the HandleLidSwitch* options, setting them all to "ignore", but unfortunately it didn't work in my case. Adding or modifying udev rules luckily did!

  • Thank you for this!🙏 I was going this way, but found that some udev config may need change, see update to post.

  • My laptop's lid doesn't have hinges, that's part of the problem. But besides that, it's simply something I don't want. For me it's enough if the power button and the "Fn" button wake up the laptop.

  • Linux @programming.dev

    How to permanently disable "resume from suspend" when opening lid?

  • That's the version that implemented the California-law-licking changes.

  • If you have a Lenovo laptop, these are the keys:

    Press Alt key (or whatever key maps to Alt, if you've made key remappings) and keep it pressed all the time, while doing as follows, where "Fn" is the function key:

    • Press Fn+s, release Fn+s, press r
    • Press Fn+s, release, press e
    • Press Fn+s, release, press i
    • Press Fn+s, release, press s
    • Press Fn+s, release, press u
    • Press Fn+s, release, press b

    You see the sequence gives "REISUB".

    When pressing keys or key combos, keep them pressed for a second or so. If you press a wrong key, restart from the beginning.

    Good luck! 🍀💪

  • A bit sad that Turing's machine isn't mentioned anywhere in their pages – but maybe I just missed the mention.

  • Admins decide which instances federate with each other

    Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but isn't this true as also for Lemmy, Mastodon, and the Fediverse in general?

  • It was exactly as you said; a difference I didn't know about. Also confirming that Kubuntu apparently installs them system-side, even if flatpak install ... is called without sudo, again as you inferred. I don't know how I managed to install them user-side in one laptop, but now they mirror each other :)

    For others interested, these two commands show the difference, as explained by another user in a cross-post:

     
        
    flatpak --user list
    flatpak --system list
    
    
      

    Thank you!

    Question about flatpak-related user folders

  • Thanks for sharing. I'd be happy if you posted updates on other stuff that works or that gives you problems after the OS change.

  • The fundamental problem is that age verification is bullshit. So let's not normalize it. It must be fought, on all fronts, including the FOSS front.

  • I wish, but I'm not so sure. Look at what happened with the Californian age-verification laws and Systemd for example. Some (arsehole, in my personal opinion) FOSS developers hurried up and bent over backwards to start complying. We'll probably end up having "Linux" distros that will comply, and Linux distros, probably distributed via secret channels, that won't.

  • The crucial point in this new press release is the requirement for "operating system developers like Apple and Google to verify users’ ages when setting up a new device, rather than relying on self-reported ages."

  • Very true:

    But when technologists tell policymakers this, they tell us that they have every confidence in our ingenuity, and also, they can't be certain we're not telling a Zuck-style fable about how the stuff we merely disprefer is actually impossible. They tell us to NERD HARDER!

    NERD HARDER! is the answer every time a politician gets a technological idée-fixe about how to solve a social problem by creating a technology that can't exist.

  • First of all we should submerge the EU parliament with protests, as we did for the chat-control question. Then protest marches, strikes, and so on. Then simple non-compliance. Whatever is undemocratic has automatically null morally legal validity.

    I think we can still use the https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ platform for this. Just need to change the text and protest against age verification.
