I have to use a windows machine at work and without fail I have to restart it by early afternoon because it has nearly ground to a halt. Usually right when a client turns up and wants to see their work.

It’s an absolute embarrassment.

Boom. I love Quadrapassel.

One of the first linux apps I ever installed

“I take full responsibility for my Arch install” is one of my favourite lines from a linux youtuber.

Thanks for the reminder!

That’s really good of you to volunteer. I hope I can too.

I’m going to be a fellow member and I don’t care at all that you came from America.

There’s work to be done - let’s all get stuck in!

I gave them the benefit of the doubt in the run-up to the GE and for quite a while afterwards, thinking that they were just playing it cool and trying not to spook people before getting on with a genuine Labour agenda.

What did it for me though was seeing Scott Morrison being asked what the best way was for people to effect change in their country. He basically said it was to form a faction within a major political party and take it over. A lot of people had already been saying it but that was when I realised that’s what happened to Labour.

From what I gather now, Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership was actively sabotaged by a set of staff within the party who then took it over and have since been using their leadership to purge typical Labour members who oppose them.

When people started saying this stuff a few years ago I suspected it was a conspiracy theory and that the rightwing media were mostly to blame for stitching up Corbyn but everything we’ve seen them do confirms it. It’s completely outrageous.

I was a Labour member but I’m done with it as a party - it’s too open to abuse and as such is a magnet for slimeballs.

Apart from reflecting my views, this new party is going to have authority in the membership, which makes it fundamentally more trustworthy and transparent. I’m genuinely excited and hopeful about it for this reason and others too.

This is the only thing in politics right now for me. Looking forward to getting involved.

Yes, I’ve updated to 25.06 which I think is the latest version. I was also having some issues with waking from suspend but they are fixed now I can manage the lid switch in Coreboot.

I was also experiencing your same issue, just tried @[email protected]’s recommendation, and my computer shut off completely as desired.

Which recommendation?

If they still wanted to use ‘AI’ to summarise or interrogate it, they could then pass that text to something like Jan on their own hardware.

Star Labs Starbook mk7, ‘made for linux’, pas moins.

Ah OK got you 👍

How do I do that? Bearing in mind the display is off when this happens.

I’m not familiar with using logs but looking at them now and filtering for the word ‘failed’, most of the entries around shutdown contain “dbus-daemon[1248]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit ‘dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service’: Refusing activation, D-Bus is shutting down.”

There are also a couple of “fwupd[2375]: 17:22:25.596 FuPluginUpower failed to query lid state”

And one of these: “NetworkManager[1332]: <warn> [1757956947.0782] dispatcher: (51) failed (after 0.004 sec): Refusing activation, D-Bus is shutting down.”

Does any of that shed light on the problem?

Not recently. When the laptop was new I had Fedora on it which was worse. Then I switched to Debian when Trixie came out and it’s been much better but still happens occasionally. Over time I have tried different settings in Coreboot though - perhaps I should reset everything there to defaults.

Unfortunately not. A couple of times I’ve shut down and closed the lid and come back a couple of hours later to find the fan still going…

Beautiful light 👍

NHS will die under Reform unless Labour start getting their act together.

Or we get behind a progressive alliance.

I use YUNOhost on a VPS and it came with email out of the box. Which is just as well because I had no previous experience self-hosting!

I think I had a couple of emails get marked as spam in the beginning but everything has been totally fine for the last 2/3 years.

Just off the top of my head:

• Gypsies & travellers
• Jews (duh)
• People with mental health problems
• Unemployed people
• People with the wrong regional accent
• Academics and people with university degrees
• People who voted for Jeremy Corbyn
• People who have the wrong internet connection records (great now the Home Office has those isn’t it?)
• Cyclists
• Vegetarians
• Hipsters
