  • Your power button is the chunky button that powers the pc on and off. Typically you’d push and hold it for several seconds until your computer shuts off, ditto for starting again.

    It probably looks like one of these and is on the front or top of your computer case near the front, odds aren’t has an LED.

    It’s usually advised not to press it unless you have to, since apps like to close and save and stuff before they get shut down so the button doesn’t give your pc time or notice to do that.

    Luckily in the “start menu” or whatever UI element where there are buttons for navigating the list of apps there is usually a built in button for shutting down the pc, saving the currently opened stuff to RAM and putting the pc into “sleep”, possibly a similar function called “hibernate” too. On Pop if you are using GNOME or (I think) Cosmic as your desktop, those elements aren’t the top bar in the upper right. Otherwise you should be able to simply search “shut down” in whatever search menu/launcher pops up if you hit the Alt key.

    Your firmware update might ask you specifically to use the power button on the outside of your pc case, but it should prompt you on screen if that’s necessary.

    I hope this helps! You probably wanna get any updates you’ve been putting off done, it could even help without mouse issue.


  • Regular, non-expert internet users find it interesting, or even amusing, to generate images or videos using AI and to send that media to their friends. While sophisticated media aesthetics find those creations gauche or even offensive, a lot of other cultures find them perfectly acceptable. And it’s an inarguable reality that millions of people find AI-generated media images emotionally moving.

    You’re describing the internet equivelant of ignorance and figurative poverty, where people don’t have the knowledge or the resources to make better choices (fast food deserts, faith healers, the PowerBall) because they are institutionally deprived. This is the same class of users/consumers that big companies look for those exact same qualities in to shill the exact same AI garbage to because they don’t know anybetter. This article is suggesting Mozilla flood the streets of a poor neighborhood with their own crank because their crank is cut less. I see the argument as bad, I see the premise as evil, and I see the rhetoric as manipulative. Respectfully, no.



  • Prop 50 passed in California in response to Texas’ redistricting. Other states would have to have a competitive congress and the states that need it most are red as hell. In the case of Texas, their redistricting effort was a national push from the party to consolidate their hold on the house, which was easiest to do in Texas because its already gerrymandered to shit and you can pass whatever you want there. However, the most conservative city in the most conservative county in the state keep going nearly purple on them. If you want Prop 50 in your state its going to take a serious groundgame and a charismatic figurehead like Newsom (hocks loogie). Its not possible without a strong local democrat party and some states are too electorally captured, it will take unseating untold numbers of Republicans in those places to even have a referendum. Whats going to kick off now are further redistricting efforts around the country from all states that are solidly one color or another.

    I invite you to take a look at what the coffee actually did to her before you keep running your mouth. NSFL. If you would not like to look, I offer my services as a transcriber to describe it in depth for you. Whatever I can to make this awful lie McDonalds perpetuated to finally go away.




  • The terrible title makes it seem like autistic people do not experience empathy. I would say there is a ten to one disparity in the capacity for empathy autistic people hold versus the capacity for empathy people are willing to demonstrate readily toward autistic people. Somebody brings up Republicans and that bothers you, here’s a thought: are you sure your country has a conservative element that isn’t following behind where American conservatives are leading with their increasingly openly eliminationist actions?

    Its like the fact that A LARGE SUPERPOWER run by IRRATIONAL NAZIS might come up in your day to day life as regards the rights and dignities of minorities as you use this PLANETARY INFORMATION NETWORK.

    Ohhh feddit.uk. My friend your LABOR party is practically synonymous with our conservatives at this point.




  • One can present a state of derangement independent of their normal mental health but which does endanger those around them while the state is ongoing. I hope you are not falling for garden variety concern trolling but even as a non-local user I wanna say I do appreciate your commenting (and that of the individual who filed the report) to prevent casual ableism.
