What's interesting about Western politics right now is that the more people #protest and resist, the more authoritarian governments become.
It's the only trick government have: silence dissent by arresting peaceful protesters and making laws to stop people saying things.
But this is only exposing the sham of Western free speech and democracy, and our leaders are only assisting this collapse in politics. The more they censor ideas, the more curious people get, the more people realise our governments serve corporations and colonialism over people.

TIL USB Type C management ICs have a "dead battery mode".
USB Power Delivery requires that the source and sink chat over the port's configuration channel to negotiate the voltage and power to deliver on VBUS. But that requires the downstream battery-powered device to be sufficiently on to run that negotiation.
IOW, if the battery powered device depletes its battery and the USB management IC loses power, when you plug a charger into the USB port, there's nobody there for the power source to talk to, electrically it looks like the cable isn't connected to anything. And so per the spec, the source provides none volts on VBUS in that condition. Your device really needs power, but it can't ask for power until it has power, and until then it looks to the charger like it's not even there.
You don't need to implement USB PD to be a USB device. Instead, you can place some resistors across a couple of the port's lines, which signals to the upstream device that yes, there is a device connected, and no, it doesn't support USB-PD negotiation and you should just supply the default 5V/3A on VBUS.
Dead battery mode is a trivial dead man's switch: the USB-PD management chip has an input signal, that it expects the local CPU/MCU to hold at logic high to show that it's alive. While the signal is high, the configuration channel lines are passed through to the processor, which handles the handshaking and negotiating.
But if that lifeline signal goes low, or the USB-PD chip itself loses power, then the configuration channel gets disconnected from the local CPU, and the standard "5V/3A please" signal resistors get connected instead. With that, the next time you plug the device in, it'll get the default 5V/3A, and can use that to boot up the USB-PD management silicon, flick the switch again to get control of the configuration channel, and do the negotiation to ask for more power.
Given how much the datasheets tout this feature, I presume it wasn't there in the first generation of USB-PD ICs, and that's how we got a rash of battery-powered devices that die unrecoverably if you let them discharge completely.
I guess technically you could also do the jump-start through the USB port, you just have to violate the spec and blindly supply 5V/3A on VBUS even if the sense resistors aren't there. Just long enough for sense resistors and/or configuration channel traffic to show up, then you can go back to obeying the spec.
... Come to think of it I expect aliexpress has a little cottage industry of boards that let you do exactly that...
Two slight corrections: you can't ask for "standard 5V/3A", you only ask for 5V. The available current is advertised by the source with Rp (which has 3 options: either USB standard 100/150/500/900mA, 1.5A or 3A), the device does not ask for it.
Also, providing 5V on VBUS without Rd on CC does not violate the spec. USB-C sockets are not supposed to do that, but plugs can. Otherwise USB A to C cables would be illegal.

Is it wrong to enjoy art made by bad people? I think it's a very complicated question and the answers will definitely have a lot of variation between people. What if it really is a good art? Or just enjoyable? Should everyone avoid it? People still listen music by Michael Jackson, for example, are they bad because of it?
My own approach is that qualities of what someone creates don't need to be inseparably tied to the personality or views of the author. Everyone can enjoy what they like without the obligation to find out details of the author and adjust their preference based on that. It's fine to make them aware of the problems, it's not fine to make them feel bad because they like something that is not wrong on its own. If you dislike the author enough for it to spoil their works for you, good for you. I also feel this way about some authors. But don't require it from other people.
That's my take. I'm curious, what's yours?

I've been testing this OS for a bit, but I'm having trouble where drives are shutting down prematurely, as if the power management is too aggressive when it comes to external USB drives.
My USB hard drive will shut down on whatever timer Linux is using, despite my VirtualBox machine actively using it via Shared Folders. I have to use the Linux host and Caja to wake the drive back up. Like what the hell?
My USB DVD drive will spin up stupid fast to buffer a lot of DVD video, then Linux spins the drive down and turns it off. Then the next time it needs data, the drive has to spin up stupid high speed again, causing the video to freeze frequently while the drive spins back up, way too fast no less for the task. Why not a simple consistent speed and keep the drive running while watching a movie? VLC if that matters, on the host Linux.
Is this a power management configuration issue? Are these somehow the same issue, or are they two separate issues?
What should I do to resolve/reconfigure?
Well shit, I figured out what the real issue was.
I'm on a laptop with only 3 USB ports, and I'm running a physical laptop hard drive on an adapter on one USB port, and a laptop CD/DVD drive on another adapter on another port.
Obviously that's probably pushing the power limits of the USB power, but it's worked before, so I didn't see why it wasn't quite working right now.
But this time I was trying a different DVD drive, an HP TS-T633P slot loader drive. Apparently that drive is extra power hungry compared to a conventional laptop drive, so I dug out my old tray loader drive.
Apparently the slot loader drive was competing with the hard drive for power, and they were apparently taking turns robbing power from each other. The system is perfectly happy with the tray loader drive though, no reconfiguration necessary!

Within our present high-speed digital landscape, we see an irrefutable fixation with the lives of famous people. Including cinema launches and best-selling albums to candid interviews and digital shares, fans are always looking for extra facts about their favorite celebrities. Most commonly looked up themes are famous people’s backgrounds and their birth years. These pieces of information not only fulfill inquisitiveness but also allow admirers to form a stronger bond with the celebrities they idolize.
A famous person’s profile is beyond being a list of accomplishments. It’s a glimpse of someone’s life path and career trajectory. When readers look up a public figure’s biography, they’re not just seeking to know where someone was from or what roles they’ve played. They want to understand the struggles, key moments, and defining moments that influenced the human behind the spotlight. For instance, discovering Zendaya’s journey from Disney Channel star to renowned actress and fashion figure adds context and inspiration to her success. Her profile doesn’t just list her achievements, but her approach to reaching those goals.
Years of life is a commonly queried point, and not just for mere curiosity. It often functions as a source of empowerment. When someone observes a young actress Millie Bobby Brown making it big as a teenager, it offers hope to ambitious youth. On the other hand, watching seasoned stars like Keanu Reeves dominate major film roles well into middle age proves that creativity and ability persist over time. Looking up celebrity ages give insight into the timing of their career path, highlighting the phases of their fame and how they’ve developed through the years.
Celebrity age usually consist of a comprehensive variety of private and career-related information. They usually commence with the person’s full name, date of birth, and birthplace. Afterwards, fans regularly are interested in the public figure’s childhood, domestic life, and their initial entry into the field. As their work develops, key achievements such as famous roles, awards, commercial endeavors, and charitable activities are often noted. Many also appreciate details on a star’s private affairs, such as their romantic involvements, interests, and even quirky interests that add human dimension. These biographies commonly feature hidden tidbits or interesting details that engage readers and deepen a star’s persona.
In a age where fake news can propagate swiftly, the value of credible and confirmed celebrity bios cannot be undervalued. Reliable platforms like the IMDb database, Variety magazine, and updated Wikipedia pages are regularly the main points of reference for reliable details. Whether you’re writing for a blog, media portal, or dedicated community page, it’s essential to regularly update content to display the fresh and reliable data about a celebrity’s age, latest endeavors, or personal milestones. The showbiz world changes swiftly, and present hearsay can easily evolve into trending topics, making timely updates a important factor of maintaining trust with readers.
Specific public figures generate ongoing interest when it comes to their profiles. Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, for example, commands interest for her music, private affairs, and financial intelligence. Followers are always interested to learn about her evolving reputation and occupational progress.
Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has ignited buzz thanks to his artistic background and quick ascent in the film industry. Pop icon Rihanna’s journey from singer to businesswoman and parent offers a layered and captivating story. Thor star Chris Hemsworth’s transformation into a international blockbuster actor and his real-world persona also keep fans clicking on his fresh developments.
Ultimately, public figures are more than entertainment icons. Their biographies demonstrate determination, grit, and originality. Whether someone is noticing a famous figure for the beginning, or watching their evolution for years, a carefully crafted biography and accurate personal facts link between notoriety and authentic experience.
Readers want depth beyond news—they want stories, value, and a purpose to engage. By crafting material that expresses the soul of who these public figures really are, you not only satisfy interest but establish a strong bond between stars and the public.

Those six blocks you used to walk have all had their lanes widened into stroads, one converted into a thoroughfare, and no attention was given to pedestrian infrastructure so crosswalks, sidewalks or bike paths are almost non-existent unless you're within 2 blocks of the school.
We have literally built most of our cities, or redesigned older cities that used to be pedestrian friendly and walkable, into a wasteland of asphalt and concrete designed exclusively for personal vehicles.

There has to be a reason other than "bikes suck and nobody wants to ride them," because in some places people go everywhere on bicycles and they love it.
So what, really, is the main difference between those places and your town, if it's not the quality of the bike lanes?

in reply to Nanook • • •A vicious cycle happened. 24 hour news reports every child abduction basically in the country, making parents feel that they're more common than they are. Kids freedom starts getting restricted. There's less kids outside, so parents are less comfortable letting their own kids out, and kids have less incentive to go out. At the same time, the number of indoor entertainment options explodes. As they stop being seen outside, the world adjusts to life without them.... Less crosswalks, less bikeable areas, less parks. With so few kids being outside the house, the parents who still encourage their kids to play outside or go do things become the minority and law enforcement fucks with them accordingly, as in this story, making parents even more reluctant to let their kids out of their sight.
There's some resistance to this. Free Range Kids comes to mind. People see the problem and want to do something. But as you can see even in this thread, people have so accepted "kids should stay inside supervised at all times" as the norm that it's an uphill battle.

15 minutes cities is just a concept that all or most of the typically important services citizens need to survive and thrive should be within a 15 minutes of where they live without REQUIRING a car. Modern car dependent culture is the tyranny if anything, and 15 minute cities idea is a response to that

Edit: and don't get it twisted, nobody is saying you should be forced to relocate either, it's a guideline for urban planning.
