what about denier-in-chief? Could someone use this ruling as a precedent to launch a lawsuit against him?

they don't have to be parasites. They do have a role but they are out of control. Government regulation should keep greed in check, and yes, it's not up to real estate businesses to decide that foreign investors can screw up locals.

ridiculing should have no place in public discourse, period. ever. Constructive dismissal however is a legit way to deal with populism and idiocracy

very typical con move: invent an enemy, make threat imminent, crank up insanity, bust controls, drop reporting, claim victory.

perhaps a better display of diversity would be a female leader which would definitely set party apart from L&C

Fedora 40 hands after updates seem to have been applied in c/[email protected]

we just "hard reset" the machine and it booted, but it is still perplexing why is this happening.

Fedora 40 hands after updates seem to have been applied (self.fedora)
 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

yes. In all fairness we're to elect the worst of two evils thanks to FPP election system. Any other party (NDP included) is not entering the picture because Politics became team sports supercharged with FPP. Despite my full dislike of Libs I will likely pinch my nose and vote for them, just because in my riding there's no chance is freezing hell NDPs or anyone else can take a seat from Cons...

yes, but this time it will be properly dismissed as "fake news"

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

Fedora 41 KDE crashes on dock unplug (self.fedora)

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

Youtube bumps me out (self.libretube)
 

I haven't looked at youtube content for a while, however lately I can't watch any videos using libretube. Something about "prove you're not a bot" which I assume is a consequence of google's crusade against add-ons and 3rd party tools. Is there a way around it or are we done with YT?

Window sills material (self.woodworking)
submitted 11 months ago by droopy4096 to c/woodworking

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

Wine gaming broken on Fedora 37 with Wine 8.12? (self.linux_gaming)
 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
