Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?

The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine....

I guess I’m not understanding the question…

You have a laptop connected to a docking station.

You have linux PC connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

You want to use the same monitor, keyboard and mouse on both machines? Switching between the two?

The monitor is the easy part, lots of monitors have multiple inputs, so you put the Linux PC on one input and the laptop dock on the other. Switch video inputs using the buttons on the monitor.

The keyboard and mouse would be tricky without a KVM switch. In theory, with a wireless keyboard and mouse, you could connect it to both machines, but you’d run the risk of using one and sending garbage data to the other if both were turned on at the same time.

I’d just get a KVM, that’s what they’re there for.

Typicaly the way a KVM worls is you connect both computers to it, then a single monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Flipping the switch on the KVM moves the keyboard and mouse input, and video output, from machine #1 to Machine #2.

So, best case scenario… Post was made by a troll unrelated to any of the jurors and this whole thing can be safely ignored.

Worst case? A juror leaked verdict information to their cousin, who blabbed, verdict gets set aside for jury malfeasance and this whole thing starts all over again…

I really hope it’s a troll and they get prosecuted for attempted interference.

Republican Operatives Swoop in to Help Cornel West This Election (newrepublic.com)

”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.

As a person? He’s a great guy and PHENOMENALLY intelligent. He did the “Philosopher’s Commentary” on the Matrix films, which is worth a listen.

He shouldn’t be running for President though. ;)

Last I looked he was on the ballot in 6 states? It’s 5 months to election day, if you’re racing to get on the ballot at this point, your campaign is over. Pack it up.

If God chose Trump, why did he lose in 2020?

Why has he lost in court, after court, after court?

Playstation consoles are weird because Sony just can’t let go of old hardware (unless it’s the PSP).

The PS1 was in production from 1994/1995 (Japan/US) to 2006(!) So it technically overlapped both the PS2 and PS3(!)

PS2 ran from 2000 to 2013.

PS3 2006 to 2017.

You shouldn’t be able to file a recall petition without some kind of evidence.

If you come in with “well, I believe it…” the correct response should be “Well, I believe you’re an idiot… go home.”

“Not liking someone” isn’t a reason for a recall. A recall should be done for cause, otherwise, vote against them, or hell, run against them.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Will of the people is called “an election”.

If you don’t like someone, vote them out.

It there’s active malfeasance, that’s when you don’t wait for an election and run a recall, or an impeachment if a recall is not an option.

But “I don’t like you” should never be the reason. Otherwise every election would end in a recall.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Many states require recalls be run for cause, I personally believe ALL recalls should be run that way.

If you don’t have a reason for a recall beyond “feelings” then there is no reason for a recall.

See how it works in Washington as a good example, this prevents frivolous recalls.

ballotpedia.org/Laws_governing_recall_in_Washingt…

“Article I, §33 of the Washington Constitution states that a recall can only occur if the targeted public official has “committed some act or acts of malfeasance or misfeasance while in office, or who has violated his oath of office.”[1]”

Show the evidence, run the recall.

No evidence? GTFO. See you next election.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

No, what they are doing in Nevada is an imagined grievance. They have no evidence, because nothing was done. No recall should be allowed without evidence.

I mean, being lenient with a rapist would be a breach of official duties and is well beyond the generic call of “well, we don’t like you.”

Here in Portland we had a problem with the DA failing to prosecute people, which, you know, is kind of his job?

We didn’t recall him, we just voted him out in the next election.

We’ll see if the next guy wants to do the job starting in January.

The difference is civility violatons are 100% unambiguous.

What Ozma was doing required absolute proof and that did not exist until their admission.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

We did end up doing that in World News when one user dominated the front page by posting 19 articles at once(!)

I don’t think Ozma quite hit that level, and it wasn’t really the volume that was the issue, it was the desire to be continually, relentlessly, negative.

Starting from here:

lemmy.world/comment/10473647

Yeah, there’s nothing actionable there. The downvotes and replies do the job.

Guy is making a provably false argument, that’s proven to be false.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing in their comments is overtly homophobic. He’s arguing that someone didn’t say something they clearly said as a college student.

All of which is provably false as per the comments and downvotes.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

What he’s engaging in, in the second link, is Christian apology, not overt homophobia. He’s not saying LGBTQ+ is the devil, he’s explaining why Christians might believe that.

Which is a whole OTHER deal:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_apologetics

Again, not actionable. If they were to come out and say themselves “I’m homophobic” or “gays are teh debbil” then, yeah, that would be removed.

But this whole “homophobia because it’s two steps removed”? Not so much.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

The comments are not, in and of themselves, homophobic. Not actionable.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Because you are the one continuing to demand they be removed for homophobia when they are not, by themselves, homophobic.

I’ve explained to you, repeatedly, why they are not actionable. I can’t help you accept that fact, but guilt by association is not against the rules.

Ping me when they, themselves, are being homophobic. As of now they are not.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

(sigh) One more time…

That user DID NOT call the LGBT community demonic.

If they did, that comment would have been removed.

What that user DID DO was explain what justifcation a Christian fanatic would have for doing so.

Doing it themself? Homophobia.
Talking about why someone else did it is NOT HOMOPHOBIA.

And for the person reporting my other comment, my having to explain this is ALSO not homophobia!

This discussion is over.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

You are clearly misrepresenting what I am explaining to you in no uncertain terms:

You denied that saying the LGBT community is demonic is even homophobic itself,

Here’s what I LITERALLY TOLD YOU:

That user DID NOT call the LGBT community demonic. If they did, that comment would have been removed.

Let me explain it to you like this…

Someone makes an incredibly stupid comment.

I explain why they might think that way.

That does NOT, in and of itself, make ME stupid. It’s not an agreement or an endorsement of their stupidity, it’s not a value judgement at all. It’s an explanation.

So some idiot preacher makes an INCREDIBLY vile and homophobic video.

Somebody else explains how that tracks because Christianity has a skewed world view.

That does not make that comment intrinsically homophobic.

Had they gone “He’s right! X, Y, and Z!” that would be homophobic and would have been removed.

THAT IS NOT WHAT HE DID.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

You do know that your entire comment history is visible here, right? You get that?

So when you say now “I clearly stated that I was not trying to say the user called the LGBT community demonic.”

That’s EXACTLY what you’re saying when you demand, repeatedly, that their comment be removed for homophobia.

If the user did not make that assertion, the comment is NOT removable.

Here’s what they said:

“The organizations supporting the movement are acting on reasoning based on philosophy that Christianity has historically identified with the devil. It’s no joke his language is theological, i identify this as a Christian perspective. He’s probably identifying the philosophy since the organizations themselves he labels as demonic. Obviously, he never said the people are demonic, and as fake news this article is, they manipulate to say he’s accusing the homosexuals as being demonic. It’s a fake news tactic.”

There is not one word of homophobia in that quote. Not a single word. It is not removable and will not be removed, at least by me.

You’re free to disagree, you’re free to downvote, it does not break the rules.
