Hi everyone. Please don’t scroll but read this and give your best input. I’m not asking for money yet.

i made 2 reddit posts about this under the chicagoapartments subreddit i wanna put this here too: My roommates and i are dealing with a shitty property management company. it’s been a week of our bathroom ceiling leaking and slowly caving in before they finally came to tear it out but we have no eta on when they’ll actually fix it. they said they will replace the bathtub upstairs to fix it before closing the ceiling but haven’t given any coordination or eta on when.

we’ve put in maintenance requests for months and when they finally do something big we’re left with dirt and debris dripping into our bathroom tub and we have a mold test running. we don’t have a way to bathe or anything like that and we’re stuck with a slow and incompetent management company.

how do we actually progress through this?

we’re renting from first western properties by the way. chicago illinois

Looking for recommendations for privacy focussed email services .

Eine Freundin hat gerade bei einer Datenübertragung (https://faq.whatsapp.com/209942271778103/?cms_platform=android) von #WhatsApp von einem auf ein anderes Gerät anscheinend ihre gesamten Chats der letzten Jahre verloren. Nach der Übertragung gab es auf dem neuen Gerät (beide #Android) einen Fehler, so dass sie dann ohne Chats da stand.
Auf dem alten Gerät ist WhatsApp jetzt im Zustand, als ob sie noch gar nicht angemeldet wäre. Die Datenverzeichnisse sind aber noch auf dem Speicher des Telefons. Ein normales Backup ist nicht vorhanden.

Kann man da noch etwas retten? Gerne #teilen bzw #boosten!

So last week Arch Linux on my desktop started freezing during resuming from #hibernation.

My attempts at fixing that have only made it freeze while entering hibernation as well.

I did manage to get suspend to RAM working though, which is better than nothing, but won't cut it for me.

Having no hibernation is gonna wreck my workflow.

I am dual booting and hibernation allows me to make that work.

Unrelated sighting of an #Arch User in their natural habitat:

Has anyone on here written a blog post about how to safely and completely wipe a corporate windows laptop for personal use, but keeping the activation key.

Seems like a blog post someone in the fediverse may have written.

Any Godot wizard in the room? I have been trying to generate an outline on a tilemaplayer hex following the mouse for a couple of days now, but no cigar. Do you know any resources or tutorials I can check? Thanks!

¿Sabéis de algún programa que sirva para tener localizados objetos que tienes guardados en bolsas/cajas? Algo que te permita ir sacando fotografías de los objetos que has guardado y asociarlos con un código numérico o QR que tenga la caja, de modo que puedas ver todo lo que hay guardado sin tener que sacarlo o poder buscarlo sin necesidad de revolverlo todo.

It's old, but I only discovered it today

Who do I contact for consulting for things like work, migration, navigating life issues, escaping abuse, etc. internationally? Am very lost on that front, so I'd appreciate something to help me figure things out.

Hi all
I need #help from the #flower people on here.
Can anyone help me identify these flowers? INaturalist has no idea.
I know that Steven transplanted them but we don't remember from where.

I want to make my partner a simple database (~3 tables, i think), because I think that's the "right" thing to use (as opposed to excel / google sheets). But, I've never had to create a database thingy before.

Seeing this as an opportunity to learn some #DuckDB or #SQLite.

Seeking #recommendations for a simple (GUI) interface for interacting with the tables.

#LibreOffice Base or something else?

#suggestions welcome

Hello Masto !

I'm desperately looking for a game that is at least ten years old, all text. It starts with "You're Nothing" then, after a click and a loading time, "You've got Life" and from there, a whole bunch of choices are offered to the player: earn money, knowledge, etc. Except that, little by little, the choices diminish. Does that ring a bell to anybody?

Please boost !

Hello Masto !
Je cherche désespérément un jeu qui date d'au moins dix ans, tout en texte. Ça commence par "You're nothing" puis, suite à un clic et un temps de chargement "You've got Life" et à partir de là, tout un tas de choix s'offrent au joueur : gagner de l'argent, du savoir, etc. Sauf que petit à petit, les choix s'amenuisent. Ça vous dit quelque chose ?

Le partage est doux !

So roughly once a week nowadays, Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS just stops responding to all keyboard input. I haven't found anything I can do at this point besides killing it and restarting it. I haven't observed any obvious commonality to the failures.

Any suggestions on how to fix (or just debug) this? Would jumping through the hoops to migrate from snap to the deb packages that Mozilla releases possibly fix this or make it easier to debug?
