Not much really as I usually stick to myself and write that way. I do have writer people I talk to but not always to solicit advice on social media.

Forget the old woman who lived in a shoe: A Michigander in her mid-thirties made a home in a Family Fare supermarket sign for nearly a year, local outlet MLive reported. The unnamed woman lived rent-free and went unnoticed by shoppers and workers until a construction crew working on repairs to the building’s roof stumbled upon her humble abode two weeks ago, Midland Police Officer Brennon Warren told the outlet. “She essentially made it home,” Warren said, describing how officers discovered a cozy apartment complete with desk, houseplant, computer printer, coffeemaker, and a cubbyhole of food. It’s unclear why and how the woman chose to build her nest there; police said she’s employed and turned down housing assistance when offered. When she was discovered, some of the store workers said they recognized her from around the property and that she occasionally seemed to vanish into thin air. They now have a new name for the legendary eave-dweller: “The Roof Ninja.” Authorities and Family Fare are working to help her find a new home.

Elle s’est assise.

A couple reminders given that PSF board elections are coming up:

  1. Your work in Python communities and ecosystems may already qualify you for a PSF membership class with voting privileges. You only need to contribute five hours per month to self-certify as a managing or contributing member, and I believe that there are many more people eligible for this than currently enrolled. https://www.python.org/psf/membership-faq/#what-membership-classes-are-there

Fixing broken suspend on Pop_OS
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/04/fixing-broken-suspend-on-pop_os/

My Linux laptop used to suspend perfectly. I'd close the lid and it would go to sleep. Open it up, it would spring to life - presenting me with a password screen. But, some time in the last few months, it has stopped doing that.

If I close the lid, it keeps running. This is unhelpful.

If I manually run the suspend command - systemctl suspend - the laptop blanks the screen then immediately turns it back on at the lock screen. It doesn't suspend.

I know that suspend physically works - becasue running any of these other command does properly suspend the machine. But powering it back up goes straight to the desktop - no lock screen!

  • sudo /lib/systemd/systemd-sleep suspend
  • sudo echo "mem" > /sys/power/state
  • sudo acpitool -s

The Fix

I found what was causing suspend to fail by running:

  • sudo systemd-analyze verify systemd-suspend.service

That spat out any errors in the suspend service. Highlighted in red was:

systemd-suspend.service: Failed to create systemd-suspend.service/start: Unit nvidia-resume.service is masked.

That was odd, because I don't have an Nvidia graphics card.

Looking in the relevant directory:

cd /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.requires

I found:

nvidia-resume.service -> /lib/systemd/system/nvidia-resume.servicenvidia-suspend.service -> /lib/systemd/system/nvidia-suspend.service

I deleted the nvidia-resume.service and nvidia-suspend.service files.

For good measure, I also checked what Nvidia stuff I had installed:

  • apt list --installed | grep -i nvidia

I used sudo apt purge to remove the remnants of any Nvidia stuff. Probably installed by mistake.

After that, suspend worked fine.

What "Fixes" Didn't Work

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, following lots of suggestions from various people on the Internet. None of these helped me - but they may be useful pointers to you.

I tried disabling everything in . I couldn't get PXSX to be disabled. But even with everything else off, the suspend didn't work.

Killing Bluetooth with didn't work. Nor did disabling WiFi.

I have an updated Kernel 6.8.0. I'm not sure of the ramifications of swapping to an older one.

Running https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1368 and then rebooting didn't make a difference.

Switching from Wayland to X11 didn't fix it. Nor did unplugging the laptop from power. No external peripherals or screens were connected.

The whole system - including Flatpaks and Snaps - was updated.

This shell script works. But there's no way to tie it in to having the power button pressed or the lid closed.

Why do fdroid main repo keep apps that has not been updated in 12 years ? Isn't it more logical to move apps that has not been updated in more than three years to the archive ?

Like i use an older version of android and every new app on fdroid works for me and keeping the main repo full of abandonware isn’t a good idea and will hold fdroid back on being a good app store . And its not like the apps are deleted or anything if someone needs them for whatever reason they can find it on archive and not...

@MinekPo1@lemmy.ml avatar

sorry but I believe you are mistaken , there is both control and moderation on both the main fdroid repo and other repos .

  • the official fdroid repo only requires apps to be fully FLOSS , see their inclusion policy
  • izzydroid requires the app to be both free and gratis , not promote “violence, hate, harassment, racism and similar topics” and to have limited tracking see their inclusion policy

other repos only include apps from a single project/dev

Making #shibori pattern is one of my ultimate highs in crafting garments. I do my best to document the process every time it happens because it’s so time-intensive and I don’t know when the next opportunity comes.

This latest pattern is called mokume (I.e. wood grain), and it’s my first time doing it!

Dasus, to world in The 10-year-old boy who has become the face of starvation in Gaza

have not issued a statement that Israel commits genocide, hence it is incorrect to assume they do.

Yeah, I knew it, you’re just a holocaust-denier. Ooh wait, no, wrong genocide. Or… was it?

en.wikipedia.org/…/The_Holocaust_and_the_Nakba

still is at ICJ and so far they have not issued a statement

They have issued a ruling, actually.

ohchr.org/…/gaza-icj-ruling-offers-hope-protectio…

aljazeera.com/…/what-has-the-icj-ordered-israel-t…

is in the ICJ’s ruling?

The ICJ confirmed that it does have jurisdiction to hear the case submitted by South Africa and issued six emergency orders to Israel, as follows:

Israel must take all possible measures to prevent acts as outlined in Article 2 of the 1948 Genocide Convention. This entails not killing members of a particular group (in this case, Palestinians), not causing physical or psychological harm to members of that group, not inflicting living conditions which are calculated to bring about the end of the existence of a people, and not carrying out actions designed to prevent births within that group of people. Measure approved by a vote of 15-2.

Israel must ensure its military does not carry out any of the above actions.

“It’s not a genocide, it’s just that our defense minister is yelling about ‘the extermination of human animals’, we’re bombing indiscriminately, having dropped more bombs in a week than the US dropped on Afghanistan in a year, killed over 12,300 CHILDREN, keep prisoners naked in cages outside, but it’s definitely just defense that we are entitled to.”

ohchr.org/…/israelopt-un-experts-appalled-reporte…

businessinsider.com/israel-palestine-confilct-bom…

(sources for the rhetoric and stats on bombs and dead children and abuse of prisoners)

That’s what most Israeli’s sound like. And then you think that people are “one-sided” when they don’t agree with your “NO NO NO NOT A GENOCIDE” delusions?

If there’s no genocide, why did the ICJ order Israel to “do everything in it’s power” to prevent one? Yes, there are still steps before the final verdict can be issued, but pretending you don’t know it is a genocide is downright disgusting.

Despite committing war crimes, it is still their right to defend against terrorists.

Yeah, but not if it involves committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

Do you understand that no-one purposefully perpetuating a genocide would admit to doing so, obviously?
