I don't have much hope that they will get the justice they deserve.

I'd love to see the "religious right" wake up a bit to what being "conservative" has actually come to mean. The current level of cognitive dissonance has been a long time in the making.

Another vote for Kobo here. I have a Clara 2e that i really like. It can use Overdrive to get books from the library, or you can just load books yourself either over USB, or download documents using its built in web browser. The browser would also let you look at an online planner, I guess? There isn't one built in. The slow screen updates make using the browser pretty impractical for the most part, though.

Blowing up the boat in the first place.

Nice. I'm happy to see RCV more in any context. Get it into the conversation, if nothing else.

I can't really tell what in looking at, here. But that is an incredible shot.

My guess is that the amount of sprawl in America is a big contributor. It means there's a higher barrier to biking, which in turn means that fewer people do it, which then means that there's less effort put into biking infrastructure (and the sprawl also directly makes building infrastructure more expensive), and so then the people who do bike have to be more intrusive on other traffic. So then there's tension between the drivers who end up inconvenienced by bikers, and bikers who feel threatened by drivers.

If you’re going 1/4 of the speed limit and there’s no biking infrastructure, please stay off the road. I’ll probably get hate for it, but blame the state for not providing safe infrastructure for cyclist.

This goes both ways. If there's no biking infrastructure, maybe its you who should blame the state for needing to go around or stay behind the cyclist. The road is theirs as much as it is yours.

I'm also a big fan of the smaller bubba mug that I have (https://www.amazon.com/Bubba-Stainless-Steel-Travel-Handle/dp/B00XMH7MRW/). It's cheap, sturdy, and easy to clean.

I would trust political advice from a doctor way more than medical advice from a politician.

Rooting for Murdoch makes me feel dirty.

Sound cutoff issues (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.
