Nice okay, alright so just wondering what distro you running with and what hardware do you have?

We can break it down from there to see if you are being affected or not.

Thank you for the reply. You are correct, I understand it’s a system service and something that people wouldn’t really notice if it’s been updated or maybe their distro has recently migrated over from pulse audio. Hell maybe even unknowingly following some random guide while trying to do something or fix something. All that we know from OP is that they are asking how to tell if they are affected.

My question was as basic and as generic as it could be. Has your battery life been quite poor as of late? As in have you had to plug in your system more throughout the day?

Regardless of technical experience or aptitude most people would notice a change in the norm of using something they use daily. If they don’t, there wouldn’t be any questions and it would be the normal day to day.

Now my thought process was to see what they said, yes or no for the battery life. And then to get more info to put together something they could follow and either confirm impact from the bug or not.

Hey not a problem dino, I get it your post is quite helpful.

Now jog my memory, how did you help the person asking if they’re affected by this bug or not?

The 13 others that have a problem with my question also chose to not offer anything useful for ops question.

Has your battery life been about half of what it used to be after installing pipe wire?

[Yes] [No]

Yes that’s exactly what the person you replied to was saying.

DMCA was built to save IP, however it’s routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.

That’s on the company for paying pennies for their dev and production roles.

Lol our own government partakes in such activities on the regular. RCMPs little statement is fucking hilarious.

For example take a look at arrivecan, the COVID tests that were rushed into approval, the charity(?) thing with Trudeau.

Now don’t get me wrong these crypto scammers are just as shit however, one of these scenarios you can avoid with some due diligence.

Well technically it’s not Google, it’s their mother company Alphabet. Tons of companies are built up like this.

I get what you are implying but it’s quite the norm.

Cool

You also on a bandwagon for the price of fuel? Food? Transportation? Taxes? How about the fees you pay your bank for having an account?

While I agree that there are a ton of bad landlords sadness is there is no decrease in price anywhere. Insurance, property taxes, cost of repairs/enhancement, maintenance.

The majority of renters would have difficulty keeping up financially even before the price spike during COVID when rates were low. Now both the price and mortgage rates have gone up and fucked everything even more.

Anyway back to my point why is this the sword you actively choose to fall on when I believe it’s one of the smaller problems to be ranting about.

The vulnerable are already being exploited. Now they’re thinking about the children.

You’re correct but they’re not taking about lotto/gambling winnings

Not OP, but for a while I tried using Ubuntu and Mint but kept on having random issues with my printer/scanner combo (Brother) and a couple of other problems that I don’t remember before I just gave up and switched over to pop.

Been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years now and even the one time I did have something go sideways I was helped by people on the Telegram channel.

On a side note there have been a couple of ranking lists released on YouTube and one of them noted that the desktop is a bit outdated but I really like the tiling window manager that pop has. Sure it eats shit sometimes but as of recently I haven’t had to think about it at all. I’m excited to see the new desktop that they are currently developing as well.

Lol it’s because too much weird shit is normalized in the States. It’s up to every other country to point out that something is stupid or wrong.

I think they meant why wait to switch to Linux not the why wait to purchase newer hardware.

Oh man, I was a bit worried. I paid for top dollar equipment for my rig and I would hate for my system to not sweat with a malnourished start menu.

The thing is I believe that statement is a bit misunderstood.

Calculators were already becoming pocket sized back in the day, but using it to calculate things if you don’t know how to use it is where the actual problem is.

Hence the reasoning to learn how to math vs only having the device.

Nationalize Telco, Groceries, Insurance, Utilities, Education. For local, by local.

If done correctly (big stretch here, and without the corruption that is already blatantly happening within our borders) it should drive prices hard enough to increase competition especially if someone wants to maintain a company. No more of this bullshit multi named single company operations.

Lol two greedy companies who don’t have to actively do anything nor take accountability for any neglect on their part are of course happy to get more data and data points for nothing. Color me surprised.

What I don’t understand is how people are completely complacent with this solution which is supposed to make housing more attainable.

As a country we are not new to dealing with loans, credit, nor credit history. The system has been around for a long time.

The problem is not people having too poor of a credit score or thin of a credit history to be able to obtain a mortgage from a bank. It’s the basic fact that if you’re Canadian you are going to be fucked financially in at least 3 different ways at any given time.

To simplify I know companies will never pay employees what they are actually worth. It’s a nonsense game of carrot or crop. But if the cost of living wasn’t so high it makes reaching for a dream easier.

Now back to this rent reporting program. Who is this program actually for? Its not for people with an established credit/loan history. For people that currently have bruised credit, adding rent payments to it isn’t going to help in any way. Going to take 7 years for whatever that bruised the score to fall off regardless of whatever it was.

Time to name and shame that’s some of the stupidest shit I’ve seen in a long time.

I know ATB so a Treasury not really a bank but they had an infuriating way of logging in as well.

After dealing with the big 4 I ended up using simplii for a while and they seem alright.
