just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

There’s a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let’s say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

also having c/privacy in there is a bit conflicting, as most discussions about AI are not aligned with privacy.

also quokk.au

I could tell from my POV, there is a need for foreign labor in Japan. It was even announced at the Japanese embassy (in my country) most of the labor needed to care for the elderly.

another example just a few months ago https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2025/02/59f0c75e44f4-indonesian-bus-driver-to-be-1st-to-work-under-new-japan-visa-status.html

You can also take a look at r/japanlife, most of them are foreigners from western countries.

My laptop did not go to sleep

Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.

From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.

So I have this “can’t wake up” issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.

In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39

I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.

So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the “can’t wake up” issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

I guess you’re not wrong, could be the author took the character design from the manga.

I guess some webtoons have good storylines, so I keep reading them every week.

tbh, I never bothered to tell others about climate change and its consequences to our lives.

Back then I told my relatives, and they just looked at me like “are you out of your mind?”

not sure about apps, but dnscrypt-proxy has this option

I used this when I found out one of my coworkers was using my work laptop to play online games.

I have Linux Mint installed on my laptop, I just don’t trust M$ Windows with their AI crap.

also M$ has done deliberately

“Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don’t pay for the software. Someday they will, though,” Gates told an audience at the University of Washington. “And as long as they’re going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.”

There are good reasons why you should limit yourself from using cloud based services. Even you are paying for the service, they can change ToS however they want.

And free cloud services the worst of it all, because they want to take all your data., they don’t even care if it’s a confidential company document.

oh great news!!

I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.

they will also look for your social media activity in the last five years. yuck!

sounds like M$'s real face : Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish

not a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago

yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention
