The power saving might be the port powering down, not the display.
Next step: Apple removes hardware from box and ships aspiration only.
This sounds like a power saving activity, which might not be caused by the OS, check your BIOS too.
A Statement From Linda Ronstadt
Sept. II, 2024
San Francisco
Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it. I need to say something.
It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful. tolerant spirit.
I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women. immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance although there’s that.
For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture.
There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.
Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.

P.S. to J.D. Vance:
I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?
I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.
I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.
I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.
Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.
It absolutely is.
It’s possibly also how they’ll get broken up by the DoJ.
I think that every single provider tracks your activity and the vast majority of them use it to optimise their service income from you, either by giving you better engagement, ie. making you use the service more - endless searching for content for example, or by selling the captured tracking data to the highest bidder.
I experienced this crazy onslaught of advertising to the point of reducing how much I watched YouTube. I was pretty upset and not at all inclined to pay, especially since YouTube was even putting ads on my own videos without me seeing a single cent, because my channel is too small.
Then my partner bought me a few months of a Premium Subscription as a Christmas gift.
It was pointed out to me that I watched more YouTube than any other streaming service which I was paying for.
Combined with background music on mobile, it’s changed my life.
I’m still unimpressed with the business model, but the alternative is so far worse.
Find me a self publishing video platform with the reach of YouTube that doesn’t require self hosting and I’ll happily move my content there.
You could use a cron job to grep through the file and reformat the output into a webpage, markdown, or plain-text file.

Bruce Perens is currently working on a new licensing model called Post Open requiring that business with sufficient revenue to pay up.
In my opinion it’s criminal just how often this happens. Big business making obscene profit off the back of volunteer work like yours and many others across the OSS community.
Some people in Australia absolutely have ideas like you describe, fortuitously the rest of us don’t have to vote for them.
A.I. or Assumed Intelligence
Australia has compulsory voting with penalties for not voting. It ensures that people who don’t think they have a voice or that their vote doesn’t change anything actually are required to make their voice heard, even if they think that it doesn’t matter.
Is it just me who is sceptical about anything new from Intel at the moment?
Mind you, this is not the first time that this feeling has existed, there was a standing joke amongst IT professionals in the mid 1990s that the sticker “Intel Inside” was actually a warning label, referencing the Pentium FDIV bug.
If wishing made it so.
On Android every single browser links the system font size to the web font size. This does not guarantee that the font is readable on web, just that when you make the system font bigger, the web font size (mostly) increases.
The system font size is used everywhere, on every UI element in every app, not only the web, on the home screen, the keyboard, etc. etc.
I don’t want a bigger system font, because it reduces what’s visible on the screen and fundamentally it doesn’t actually fix the web.
The Google Message app is currently the only one that allows you to pinch zoom and increase/decrease the font size.
Finally, on desktop you can use Ctrl +/- to change the font size. That’s what I want mobile pinch zoom to use.
As for zooming in on an image, on desktop, the Ctrl +/- also (depending on the stylesheet) will change the image size. If you need more, you can open the image in a new tab and use Ctrl +/- to zoom. All of this could work exactly the same as on a mobile phone with pinch zoom.
As I said, if wishing made it so.
Does this mean that they also fixed this on mobile, so pinch zoom changes the font size, rather than the whole page that forces you to scroll in two directions to read larger text?
It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…
