It's also helpful to understand when you're not completely powerless, rather than confusing complacency for inevitability.

I suppose you're right. We are powerless and griping on the internet is the only catharsis available to us!

I agree, but I also think we need to be aware of what we agree to when entering service agreements. Certainly for something like an ISP for which there is often a monopoly there may not be much of a choice, but even when you do have a choice, how often do you actually read what you're agreeing to? We have the option to try to vote with our wallets, but instead we've collectively just continued to sign up for services that have arbitration agreements. If companies see only token resistance to such contracts then they're not going to be deterred.

It's legal because people agree to it as part of entering a contract. And as scummy as you or I may believe it to be, people still enter into such contracts, and courts have not ruled them unconscionable.

Let's hope they do two or three other old Republicans! You know, just to be safe!

I had to reread the name. This isn't about Mitch McConnell, then?

Under his bill, the center directors have the sole, exclusive and unlimited authority to oversee, develop and approve the center's curriculum. They would also have all control over hiring and tenure.

OSU's human resources department recommended that the Chase Center fire a civics center professor after he tackled a cameraman, according to WOSU.

Bangup job, then.

 
 
 

I'd be interested in hearing recommendations for other music that is similar to the instrumental bit of this song starting at about 2:43

Sound cutoff issues (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by ProfessorScience@lemmy.world to c/pop_os@lemmy.world
 

Hello! I'm pretty new to pop_os and linux, but am trying to switch over from windows. I've been having some sound issues where it seems like sounds get cut off. It seems to most noticeable with something like doing duolingo from my browser (lots of short sound clips of words and such; if I click on words quickly, then spotify playing in the background will stop playing briefly). I've tried disabling sleep, as described by https://support.system76.com/articles/audio/, without luck. I've also noticed that I see errors listed in pw-top which sometimes correspond to sounds getting cut off. That is, sometimes I notice a cutoff without seeing an increase in the number of errors, but when I notice an increase in the number of errors it usually corresponds to something getting cut off.

Is there a way to see what the errors from pw-top are? Or suggestions for other things I should look into? I've looked at dmesg and systemctl status --user pipewire.service (and pipewire-pulse) but the only error I see is a nvidia-drm thing which seems to be innocuous. I've also uploaded my alsa-info results, if that's useful.
