Nice okay, alright so just wondering what distro you running with and what hardware do you have?

We can break it down from there to see if you are being affected or not.

Thank you for the reply. You are correct, I understand it's a system service and something that people wouldn't really notice if it's been updated or maybe their distro has recently migrated over from pulse audio. Hell maybe even unknowingly following some random guide while trying to do something or fix something. All that we know from OP is that they are asking how to tell if they are affected.

My question was as basic and as generic as it could be. Has your battery life been quite poor as of late? As in have you had to plug in your system more throughout the day?

Regardless of technical experience or aptitude most people would notice a change in the norm of using something they use daily. If they don't, there wouldn't be any questions and it would be the normal day to day.

Now my thought process was to see what they said, yes or no for the battery life. And then to get more info to put together something they could follow and either confirm impact from the bug or not.

Hey not a problem dino, I get it your post is quite helpful.

Now jog my memory, how did you help the person asking if they're affected by this bug or not?

The 13 others that have a problem with my question also chose to not offer anything useful for ops question.

Yes that's exactly what the person you replied to was saying.

DMCA was built to save IP, however it's routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.

That's on the company for paying pennies for their dev and production roles.

Well technically it's not Google, it's their mother company Alphabet. Tons of companies are built up like this.

I get what you are implying but it's quite the norm.

You also on a bandwagon for the price of fuel? Food? Transportation? Taxes? How about the fees you pay your bank for having an account?

While I agree that there are a ton of bad landlords sadness is there is no decrease in price anywhere. Insurance, property taxes, cost of repairs/enhancement, maintenance.

The majority of renters would have difficulty keeping up financially even before the price spike during COVID when rates were low. Now both the price and mortgage rates have gone up and fucked everything even more.

Anyway back to my point why is this the sword you actively choose to fall on when I believe it's one of the smaller problems to be ranting about.

Not OP, but for a while I tried using Ubuntu and Mint but kept on having random issues with my printer/scanner combo (Brother) and a couple of other problems that I don't remember before I just gave up and switched over to pop.

Been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years now and even the one time I did have something go sideways I was helped by people on the Telegram channel.

On a side note there have been a couple of ranking lists released on YouTube and one of them noted that the desktop is a bit outdated but I really like the tiling window manager that pop has. Sure it eats shit sometimes but as of recently I haven't had to think about it at all. I'm excited to see the new desktop that they are currently developing as well.

Lol it's because too much weird shit is normalized in the States. It's up to every other country to point out that something is stupid or wrong.

I think they meant why wait to switch to Linux not the why wait to purchase newer hardware.
