Today on Barrack Road, Exeter, medical professionals lined up out side Exeter hospital to demand better. Our NHS is failing. Nurses, NHS carers, and doctors have been vocal, shining a light on our failing NHS, which has been left to rot by the likes of Tories and Labour government. As socialists, we also demand better. We call for a full restructuring of our NHS, offering incentives such as bursaries, retention schemes for junior doctors and nurses, adequate equipment, and hospital beds to meet demand. We also demand the removal of the corporate rot that has parasitically sucked our taxes out. We stood in solidarity with our junior doctors today, we stood with our NHS carers last week, and we will continue to stand in solidarity demanding meaningful change for all workers.

Another beautiful venture to Plymouth with Plymouth branch [Socialist Party *formally militant*](https://www.socialistparty.org.uk/). Today I had got together with comrades, about 8 to show solidarity at the Pride March. It was a truly amazing turn out and Plymouth branch were well organised through-out. moving with the march. We mostly went to show solidarity but also to speak with peraders about the strange [sponsor's Pride](https://plymouthpride.co.uk/) had. One of which is a military contractor [Babcock](https://www.babcockinternational.com/) who have been [vying for Israeli](https://palestinecampaign.org/psc-company/babcock-international/) contracts. Another [BT who are planning to lay off 55,000](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65631168) workers over the next 6 years as it pivots to ai automation. A somewhat unholy partnership. Most pride goers find irritation in this like myself, its purely monitory influence to elevate their ethical legitimacy whist being corpates bastards.

My second venture to Plymouth. More door knocking and speaking with Plymouth's working class in the lead up to the general election. We had a few people say they will vote [tusc](https://www.tusc.org.uk/): the party we support. we also heard a few say [reform](https://www.reformparty.uk/): A bosses party dressed up to entice the workers. As revolutionaries, we must educate our brothers and sisters, read the parties' manifestos, Labour, Tory, and Reform. In doing so, we can show people the true nature and present a socialist alternative. Later in the evening, the Plymouth branch held an open meeting in the industrial corner of the city, [LeadWorks](https://www.leadworksprojects.com/). A full room listened to an older lady and long-time member who read from papers to the Plymouth branch. She shared concise facts about our NHS spanning from its birth to the caucus and how it came to be such. The atmosphere shifted from informal to electric as members raised their hands, eager to speak next. Each one slammed the NHS harder about how the capitalists have sold it bit by bit from under our feet or how the NHS has failed us. Emotions were rightfully high, almost as if mourning a loss and a deep betrayal. * [NHS Documentry](https://piped.video/watch?v=ultKvnw2h3Q&t=252) Today I woke up at another comrades house who'd kindly put me up in their spare room, we quickly made our way to a picket line outside Plymouth's hospital. [NHS worker](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c722yxpgqyzo) about a hundred stood clutching signs along a busy T-junction. Horns beeping and chants echoed, the energy was high and outlook promising. I was also able to visit the [g4s strike](https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/plymouth-jobcentre-security-staff-face-9271798) outside the job centre. A slightly different energy from that of the NHS care workers, [g4s is owned by an american company](https://www.aus.com/press-releases/allied-universal-acquires-g4s-plc-creating-global-integrated-security-services) and it is doubtful that they will yield. We are currently seeing the beginnings of class consciousness awakening from its slumber and now we must push with determination, be active members as funding isn't enough, We have to be revolutionaries! Solidarity, squid.

Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war. recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider. I know cptsd is somewhat common and I'm wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

Samsung g8 monitor, ive been pining to upgrade my 1080p monitor and thought id go full hug with oled, 4k and higher frame rate (170hz apposed to my previous 144hz), first cardinal sin: polystyrene packaging. Second: its apparently smart which I'm taking to mean they added pointless software to it so to extract long term profit from users, have brand deals with streaming company's and to artificially age a product. I can see a smart TVs making sense, its essentially the evolution of the TV, in general, they started with big antennas and now they have smaller internal antennas, changes to broadcasting has allowed for this. But a monitor something that has always relied on a secondary system to function now has smart features, why the fuck call it a monitor? Its surely a tv at that point. Although my disappointment goes further than just the smart aspect, I'd be okay if there was a non intrusive app store, but no the controls have 4 dedicated buttons I will never use, prime video, netflix, Disney plus and Samsung TV plus. If I were to ever use these services I would do so through my PC, or if I had a games console (media centre) I would use that, which then posses the question of what's the point? Did they have old android PCBs laying about the factory and thought fuck it,.. Next issue is how Samsung want me to connect to the internet, its easy to press no to connecting, the issue come from hardware maintenance which is especially important with oled. Oleds degrade quite fast, if I left the monitor on for a day with windows desktop white theme constantly displaying I may run into burn in, so most oled monitors/TVs have corrective software that'll run on command or scheduled, most of these monitors also report its history of corrective operations but Samsung demands I download an app on my phone to view this information. Why can't tech just be one thing, now everything has to be some kind of Swiss army knife. Edit: thought I'd look at this app (SmartThings) to see how good/bad it is, download the app and permissions aren't too bad although I dont like that Samsung wants my location, anyway ive two option: top right sign in, centre get started, I click get started and get pulled from the app to my browser met with a message > "Browser not supported > Samsung account can only be used with the following browsers: > - Samsung Internet > - Chrome > - Firefox > - QQ Browser > - UC Browser > - Sogou Browser > - 360 Browser > - Safari > - Chromium > - Brave > - Microsoft Edge" I am using chromium on android... This is just ridiculous. Plus a redflag to Samsung needing me to be connected to the internet whilst using the application which uses Bluetooth to connect to the monitor. Another edit: multi screen is locked, I can't use two inputs simultaneously to create a split screen unless I connect to the internet. Ridiculous. I had this capability back in 2016 with my old lg ultra wide and now my hardware functionality is locked because I am choosing to stay offline. Who can I go to in the UK for anti consumer practice's?

I asked this same question on 3 different instances and render the same result

Edit: Go to bottom to read resolution: am trying to make a stable link to read t-sensor ```bash $ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/t_sensor-temp-stable-path.rules ``` ```bash ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", KERNEL=="hwmon*", ENV{HWMON_NAME}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'" ``` ```bash $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger ``` expected result, t-sensor temp2_input file is now linked in /dev/t_sensor_temp actual result no link in /dev ```bash $ cat /dev/t_sensor_temp cat: /dev/t_sensor_temp: No such file or directory ``` even after rebooting,and running ``` $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules ``` ``` $ sudo udevadm trigger ``` its still failing to create link. i have stable links in /dev for gpu and cpu which work perfectly Edit: so i may of resolved the issue and am adding this to maybe help others in the future worth noting i preface "may of" as im not sure if when a hardware change acures that udev will continue to link to hwmon* temp2_input i first changed the rule ```bash ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", ATTRS{name}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'" ``` kernel is now not present, "ENV{HWMON}" is now "ATTRS{name}" but with these edits the link still was not created. once i ran the command ` sudo udevadm trigger --action=add --subsystem-match=hwmon --attr-match=name=asusec ` then the symbolic link was created. its been frustrating but glad we got the in the end. if someone can shine a light on the strange behavior that would be great.

Good to see this instance is back up Last year I asked for assistance with account recovery, I enabled 2fa by mistake, instantly disabled it but alas I was met with the 2fa prompt after attempting to log back in. At the time this instance wasn't being maintain and I didn't get assistance or comment when I originally asked for help so now that this instance is active I am asking again. If its irretrievably then no worries but if I could regain access then that would be awesome User: squid.feddit I can give other information to the instance maintainer.

I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making several applications unusable. With this I disassembled and reassembled the card several times over several days its also connected in a custom water cooling loop. Was a stressful week and found no issues with the card other than the now removed BIOS chip, I then decided to load up another linux Wayland os and found all electron applications worked perfectly. Back to my main os I uninstalled wayland, electron24 and a few other dependency's and reinstalled. Lo and behold the system was fine.... Love you linux but holy. Had be freaking out over repairing a fairly expensive card.

Is the onus on the consumer? As much as I hate to say it I am pretty judgemental when it comes to people paying for subscriptions. While its wholly negative to have this mind set in the modern world is it such a bad thing. Like if we were all in a Lemmy community swimming pool and 80% of lemmys where pissing in that pool would I be unjust to be mad, my thought pattern here is by people supporting the subscription model will impacts everyone and it goes further than just more subscription only content, it impacts hardware where a lot of iot device and gaming device are less about serving the enjoyable media/useful features and more offering a portal to subscription services which impacts usabilities like rooting, custom ROMs, emulation, general tinkering, now every modern console, shady iot device has some kind of encrypted lock or circumventing that lock will also attract negative attention from corpos. At what point will consumer PCs start running locked down software with a locked bootloader. Should we as consumers stop buying game pass, Disney plus, vibrating massarg rings, mill kits, cable TV. As to not incentives corporations. I hope I'm not doom saying just general frustration and concern for what the future will hold. And I'd like to see what the general concus is on the subject

jc141 is a linux game repacking group that use .sh scripts to configure wine prefixes but also includes native releases allowing users to easily play games on linux. the script is bash and must be run with [dialog](https://invisible-island.net/dialog/) and from within the directory where jc141 games are stored. make a .sh file called `launcher.sh` or whatever else. paste the bash script, save to the dir that has jc141 releases and launch in terminal. personally i set an alias in bashrc that links to the .sh script [mozila paste bin](https://paste.mozilla.org/LoiiGaSH)

When I say arch I mean the arch distro and all of its offspring. Endeavouros Arch-gui ~~Manjaro~~ Artix --maybe not though My first enjoyable distro was manjaro, the manjaro element less so but using arch clicked for me. But even so if my first experience was using arch and archinstall then yes its not the easiest but its also not that difficult, arch is treated like a boss battle in darksouls. So when a pre configured GUI arch is recommend I would like to see less scar mongering.

Ive noticed over the last week that my connection with randomly drop, probably around once and hour.
