Afghan Women On Hunger Strike In Germany To Protest Taliban's 'Gender Apartheid'
  • Under us occupation afghan women were the freest they've ever been. They trained Afghan soldiers, built infrastructure and educated the populace, but as soon as the west left, the afghans put down their arms and welcomed the Taliban into power.

  • Use the default mesa drivers and use corectrl. Depending on the version of mint you're using, you might need to install the appropriate ppas (just google them, you'll find them)

  • help with users in ubuntu 23.04

    Hi everybody, I recently reinstalled ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop. I had a backup of my old home and copied that into my new home after installation, installed updates and rebooted. Sadly, I forgot to make myself the owner of those files before rebooting. Instead of the login screen where you would normally enter your password, It showed me a welcome screen where I had to create a new user. I did that, then fixed my earlier mistake, logged in as my real user and ran userdel to get rid of the account I had to create. However, now it always shows me this welcome screen and I always have to create a new user. If I go through that and log out, I can log in with my real user after clicking on "not listed?" on the login screen. I could just reinstall again, but is there a way to fix this?

    Linux Desktop Market share keeps increasing, 3.19% now. +0.07% for August
  • Powershell as admin then type set-service wuauserv -startuptype manual; stop-service wuauserv

    This will disable the windows update service. If you do want to run updates again (and you should do that regularly), just type start-service wuauserv and use the windows update page in settings.

    Linux is still way better though.

  • iwlwifi issues on ubuntu 23.04

    Occasionally my laptop will just loose all wifi connectivity. Running dmesg at those moments provides this output: [ 1588.714014] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Error sending REMOVE_STA: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5 [ 1588.714017] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed to remove station.

Id=1

    and running sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi results in this:

    [ 1588.961411] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed sending remove station [ 1597.465190] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux [ 1597.465235] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 1597.465342] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: HW_REV=0xFFFFFFFF, PCI issues? [ 1597.465353] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5

    I'm unsure on what this means and how to procede. Any advice?

    thumbnails in nautilus on Ubuntu

    I have a partition on a remote computer that I mount to my laptop via sshfs. That partition serves as network storage and thus has a lot of pictures and videos on it. But it does not have thumbnails for those. I have installed ffmpegthumbnailer, but that did not fix it. I'm on Ubuntu 23.04. Any ideas?
