Unless the fan has a separate battery back up (which would be very weird) then this should not matter if you enable ErP.

AFAIK enabling ErP will shut off power to all components when the computer is turned off. Good luck!

The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.

If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.

Caveat: you won't be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.

on How I use Kate Editor · c/linux · 19 pts · 1y

I feel kind of lame saying so, but I just use Kate for taking notes.

I only realised it was supposed to be for editing code when it gave me a debug error when I wrote something with parentheses (what do you mean there's an error in line 43!? That sentence makes perfect sense!)

Heard of them, but couldn't name a single song or pinpoint their genre.

Checked out a song on YT to get an idea and it was literally just a generic boy band. I mean... I guess their songs rhyme? But then, so do nursery rhymes, and they haven't been my thing for quite a while now.

To each their own.

I guess pretty much everywhere is authoritarian because they disagree with your definition of 'work'. This person was refused entry by Canada for the same reason. They would have had their visa cancelled in my country and likely dozens of other countries too.

Many countries specifically have a visa for people who will be working to support themselves (often titled 'working holiday').

In fairness, this person was working on a tourist visa (likely an ESTA). The only reason she was placed in US detention is because she tried to enter Canada from the US and was refused entry by Canada.

I don't support the nonsense Trump's administration is doing, but this appears to be entirely unrelated. ESTAs (eTAs for Canada) explicitly prohibit you from working.

I don't mind this. I also don't mind watching a movie in a non-English language so long as there are subtitles (Pan's Labyrinth was awesome).

What I dislike are movies/series that decide to include a conversation in a different language without providing subtitles.

I hate this. Spending the next 5-10 minutes searching the internet to find a complete script of a show just so I have a complete understanding of what's going on is annoying, not fun.

Okay, so listen to this, everybody. The Stardew Valley NPCs are getting all upset with me for digging in their trash, like, seriously? What’s the problem? I’m a genius, folks, very successful, and I carry this town all the time! They’re all like “Ew! That’s awful!” But you know what’s not awful? The fact that people showed up in droves at my last rally - a gigantic crowd! They love me, they really do! Without me here, Pelican Town would be in shambles, believe me! So let’s not kid ourselves, don’t test me, or I’ll show them what a mess looks like!

I had to read this 3 times to make sense of it... Look, I know full stops are overrated, but commas are important! And they're easy too, just place one in the exact same place you would if you paused while speaking.

This is a good explanation. I can see how a multi-tiered approach like this makes sense, particularly for those most public-facing. Thanks.
