More expensive business-class laptops, like the T-series, is I think what RedHat and others give to their employees, thus they are usually better supported than cheaper consumer models.

Volksverpetzer liest glaub ich nur, wer eh schon deren Meinung teilt. Und zwar nicht um gut informiert zu sein, sondern weil man sich gerne aufregt und lustig macht. Das erfüllt mehr so die Funktion wie bei mir r/ShitLiberalsSay, oder wieso die Leute Bild lesen, nur halt für grünliberale Abiturabsolventen.

Nur als Beispiel wieso ich die nicht ernst nehmen kann: Die letzten Monate hat Israel eine ganze Welle an Desinformationen rausgehauen, das meiste davon wurde in Deutschland fast komplett unkritisch in der Presse weiterverbreitet. Und ich stolper in der Zeitung auch jetzt noch regelmäßig über Falschinformation, die bereits vor Monaten ausgiebig debunked wurden.

Könnte man meinen, das wäre gefundenes Fressen für das “Blog gegen Desinformation”, aber der letzte “Faktencheck” zu Israel ist mehr als 7 Monate alt.

While this is generally true, there are sometimes exceptions to this, especially during the freeze.

Even unstable slows down during the freeze, as the usual way to get stuff into testing is through unstable, and packagers, especially of large collections or important dependencies, opt not to disturb the freeze by dumping a bunch of bleeding edge stuff in there. Consequently you also get more new stuff in unstable shortly after a new Debian release.

I use tlp.

I also have a battery info using i3status in the status bar, and a script I named battery-check, which warns me via a dunst popup and a beep when the battery gets low:

<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set -eu
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">bat=/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">if [ ! -d "$bat" ]; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    exit 1;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fi
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">status=$(cat "$bat/status")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">energy_now=$(cat "$bat/energy_now")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">energy_full=$(cat "$bat/energy_full")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">battery_percent=$(( ${energy_now}00 / ${energy_full} ))
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">if [ "$status" != "Charging" -a "$battery_percent" -le 15 ]; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    dunstify -t 8000 -u critical "Battery at ${battery_percent}%"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    play -q -n -c1 synth 2 sine 600
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fi
</span>

I run this from my ~/.config/sway/config like so:

<span style="color:#323232;">exec sh -c 'while true; do sleep 180; battery-check || break; done'
</span>

I don’t think the problem is with GRUB.

There are various different ways in which USB keyboards can encode keypresses. I’ve seen some BIOSes that just cannot deal with some keyboards due to this. The USB keyboard driver that will be in use during GRUB should be the BIOS/UEFI driver. So I would try updating the mainboard firmware/EFI or try a different keyboard maybe? Or disable the GRUB password if that’s an option.

Was Hofreiter da nahelegt: dass Olaf Scholz im Sinne Russlands handeln würde. Es ist eine krasse, eigentlich ungeheuerliche Unterstellung, sie übertrifft alles, was Hofreiter in den beiden Tagen zuvor über Scholz gesagt hat. Nicht mal Friedrich Merz würde das dem Kanzler unterstellen.

Der Moderator lässt das so stehen, er hakt nicht nach, da bekräftigt Hofreiter den Satz noch mal: »Das sagen Leute, die sich damit beschäftigen. Dass das die eigentliche Hidden Agenda ist.«

Und niemand im Saal widerspricht.

Die Ukraine verliert, weil der Kanzler ihr mit dem Dolch in den Rücken gefallen ist, anders können sich Hofreiter & Bubble den Widerspruch zwischen Realität und den eigenen Brainworms nicht mehr erklären.

EU politicians at the protests in Tbilisi threatening “severe consequences” for daring to curb foreign influence. Wow.

Not even curb really, just make transparent when NGOs are getting foreign funding.

The US has the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which is actually stricter. The “Russian law” shit is just framing. Countries have a right to know who’s meddling in their shit, in fact meddling is illegal under international law. The fact that they feel this threatened by a mere transparency law speaks volumes.

How would you like it if some politicans from other countries (let’s pretend it’s Russia since you seem very concerned about them) came to your capital and threatened “severe consequences” for even daring to want to monitor foreign influence. These protestors are basically demanding to surrender all sovereignty to EU/US/billionaire funded NGOs.

Imagine living in country where core government functions, like writing laws, regulation, and social services are provided by NGOs which are beholden to foreign donors. No oversight by any local authority and definitely not beholden to the people. This is about as far from democracy as you can get, this will ruin a place.
