Election reforms. IRV, public campaign financing, nix the electoral college, proportional representation, etc.

Is that even a close call? If Trump called me a shithead I'd wear that as a badge of honor. If Mr Rogers called me a disappointment I would question my life choices.

Sound cutoff issues (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by ProfessorScience@lemmy.world to c/pop_os@lemmy.world

Hello! I'm pretty new to pop_os and linux, but am trying to switch over from windows. I've been having some sound issues where it seems like sounds get cut off. It seems to most noticeable with something like doing duolingo from my browser (lots of short sound clips of words and such; if I click on words quickly, then spotify playing in the background will stop playing briefly). I've tried disabling sleep, as described by https://support.system76.com/articles/audio/, without luck. I've also noticed that I see errors listed in pw-top which sometimes correspond to sounds getting cut off. That is, sometimes I notice a cutoff without seeing an increase in the number of errors, but when I notice an increase in the number of errors it usually corresponds to something getting cut off.

Is there a way to see what the errors from pw-top are? Or suggestions for other things I should look into? I've looked at dmesg and systemctl status --user pipewire.service (and pipewire-pulse) but the only error I see is a nvidia-drm thing which seems to be innocuous. I've also uploaded my alsa-info results, if that's useful.

"Don't elect the other guy" campaigning is strongly incentivized by first past the post voting, unfortunately. Not that that's the sole cause, but... it's certainly not helping.

Doesn't take a "church boy" to not assault someone, dipshit.

I mean, going from this example it seems like everyone should be afraid of good guys with guns.

It is, and I'm fine with Evers using it to either secure school funding, or have the courts codify what the limits of the veto powers are.

Whoa, spoilers man, c'mon!

Woo! Let's get less gerrymandered!

Back in Davenport, as Hannity wrapped the town hall, the crowd’s reaction left no confusion over how Trump’s town hall and his remarks landed.

They gave him a standing ovation.

I need an adult.

I can't understand why they wouldn't be disallowed from working as electors in any future election full stop. Limiting it like that seems like almost no consequence.

He didn't. This was a last minute payout by Twitter prior to the change in ownership. He's trying to not pay them retroactively.
