It would be even better if in addition the borg only offered assimilation to individuals by choice, defending their right to join with overwhelming force and leaving everyone else alone. There would be a whole moral to-do about prisoners choosing the collective and the borg showing up to get them and then the Starfleet people who are lonely decide to go and then someone thinks they need to save one of those people so they go in with a plan to destroy the collective from within but realize that everyone is there by choice and they have the option to leave but don't.

Because the federation changes over time, there are good times and bad. One of the core values in many Star Trek stories is redemption through change, it's the central idea of this one.

Also because the federation is an allegory for whatever real world good guy alliance you believe in and fascist elements coming and going from the federation are a commentary on the real world.

I second this. I need to try guix, nixos has been my daily driver for years now.

Maybe try kscreen-doctor? I don't use kde regularly but that showed up in a search.

Try using alsamixer, check for channels that are muted.

Also check if your distro is saving and restoring alsa settings every boot and remove the settings file

Everyone should know most of the time the data is still there when a file is deleted. If it's important try testdisk or photorec. If it's critical pay for professional recovery.

I'm having this problem on two second hand hp business machines with ... I think discrete graphics but now that I'm writing this I never bothered to check. I'm running Ubuntu on them and they basically run Minecraft and flightgear a few times a day. Not every time, but eventually when either machine attempts to enter suspend mode it will instead crash and stay like this until a manual hard reset. I suspect this is related to certain software running when suspend is initiated but I'm not sure.

I'm not using Ubuntu much myself these days and I've never used a Radeon GPU, any advice or ideas would be appreciated. If anyone wants to dig in I can get hardware info and logs, I'm feeling lazy at the moment.

Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist.

Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken.

However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports.

Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

Any thoughts on why cat /sys/kernel/notes gives me:

I'm beginning to look into another issue I posted about, but this struck me as odd

Help w/ crash (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by mvirts@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)

Fysa, humans are born with moveable skull plates to accommodate brain growth and development after birth. You learn a lot being an active participant in parenting children.

Also brain size correlates weakly with intelligence scores, but is not a major factor.

I've been procrastinating a fix for a vibration that is speed related on my xc90. It starts around 45mph and comes and goes up to 65 or 70... I broke some stuff 'diagnosing' it, and once I fix that I'm going to take the awd driveshaft out. I'm assuming a bearing is bad, any ideas? I want to repair the driveshaft because it's really expensive to replace.
