thanks!

any good trackers for good linux iso availability?

with torrenting i sometimes can’t find some more obscure distros i’m looking for…

what is your p2p method, out of curiosity?

library genesis. anna’s archive.

chances are, its there.

brazil. they can cost 50-150 bucks or even more here, depending on the book. technical textbooks can be even more expensive.

the efficiency of capitalism!

if you can afford it, wire the author the 50 bucks or so for the book, and explain why you did it. most of them will be thrilled to get the full 50 for the book, i bet.

if you can’t, well they wouldnt have gotten any money anyway.

library genesis exists, people. anna’s archive, anyone?

digital drm is the one fucking thing they push onto us that we don’t actually have to fucking deal with. thanks to our team of rippers and crackers people who hate this system.

leave amazon. leave netflix. leave whatever fucking streaming service you subscribe to, and stop being sensitive about rich people’s money.

but then oil tycoons wouldnt make mo money

both seem just as terrible to me

i mean, if you are attacking google might as well target their data centers.

im confused. why would they be migrating to wordpress?

put your money where your mouth is. install linux before fruit company removes your ability to do so.

threatening companies through a feedback dialog box isnt resistance. using foss kind of scares them.

dont trust your cherished family photos with google, lest a bomb falls on their hq and you lose everything.

i was about to send a screenshot, but i can’t reproduce it now. it freezes and stops responding to some or all input, and all the dock+appmenu icons are gone. its one of these or all symptoms, and i can usually reproduce it when coming back from sleep. logs say ‘broken pipe, error reading events from display’ i can update if it happens again.

I’m using the same generic ps2 driver for the touchpad. its an old alps glidepoint, i can get it to work perfectly with all features on windows 7 with the proper drivers, needless to say thats a bit unworkable.

on linux it works initially with multitouch scroll and everything, then gradually starts to behave like a wet touchscreen. ive tried different kernel versions, livebooted a couple different distros and tried a few very old solutions i found floating around, like using the synaptics driver for some reason. found it for cheap and replaced the hardware. nothing seems to do the trick.

edit: it did the thing, its usually functional enough for screenshots:

yes, they do this kind of propaganda to young people since gen x. its all bullshit.

the kids are fine.

ok it worked! thanks a lot! can’t believe it was that easy. Gnome spazzes out a little bit after wake sometimes, is that something i can work around?

do you happen to know a thing or two about diagnosing trackpad issues? or at least the right direction? 😂

what kind of driver could the keyboard be using? lsmod shows nothing beyond the HID driver, but thats being used by the external mouse which works normally after sleep.

lshw shows it going by /dev/input/event6 or something like it?
