It is fundamentally a theft of the autonomy, self determinism, and right to unfiltered information required for citizens in a functioning democracy. Loss of ownership is fundamentally a coup against democracy by overlords of neo feudalism.

Frame your argument as a citizen wronged by thieves and you will defeat the nonsense. Ownership of any part of your person including your digital presence to exploit and manipulate is a form of modern slavery; literally buying and selling people to manipulate and exploit them. Anything that has any potential to filter information, no matter how remote, unlikely, or illegal, is an act of treason in a real democracy when it lacks full transparency. Every digital device you use must be fully publicly documented with a publicly accessible toolchain for anyone to monitor or review. Trust as a policy is fundamentally opposed to democracy without exceptions. Trust is a trap of authoritarianism. Citizens are required to be fully informed and skeptical of all sources. For example, every mobile device made has a proprietary SoC processor and modem that are interconnected in undocumented ways. There is absolutely no way to know who or what is truly connected to these devices at any point in time. This is the real reason removable batteries no longer exist despite being more dangerous, wasteful, and an environmental disaster.

Close the fediverse, we already had a solution

Abolish digital slavery and publicly code and fund the public commons with no scraping or exploitation whatsoever. Restore the rights of autonomy and self determinism required for a citizen in a democracy and people will return to the culture that existed before google won its privateer piracy charter to digitally enslave everyone in exchange for free email and search results because the US was too backwards to fund the fundamental public commons required for real democracy and was itching for slavery again at the first opportunity of going unnoticed.

Not as of a year or so back. I’m not sure how it works but there are several settings available in the manufacturer’s app that are not in Linux. Only the hotkey settings from the fn+ function keys work. Dmesg spits out a block of unrecognized memory that is something like 8 or 16 bits long that is the likely culprit. There is some odd microcontroller on a serial bus that is unrecognized too IIRC but that I have never seen before like any of the thousands found on LCSC. Last time I checked linux-hardware.org, it looked like no one had solved this one on any of the scans. I’m not motivated to chase it down myself. Poking some registers or watching for the changed location after using the built in hotkey would be peripherally interesting as a general thing to know.

How does one find an unknown register in hardware for a similar but undocumented setting? My laptop has an undocumented microcontroller for the RGB keyboard. I can change it through the extra function keys but only to a 3 level preset and not the real fine tuned control. I can dual boot and change the setting with their app and it is persistent. If I could discover all registers their app uses I would totally ditch w11 and free up a good bit of space. I figure it is just a block of memory somewhere, (thinking like Arduino stuff), but I am clueless about how to find that at OS level complexity… If anyone here casually knows at a conversational social level here, like don’t go looking it up for me or whatnot

Guided fireworks or Estes rockets are the class of hardware needed. It must be a tenth of the cost of a typical drone, or much less is more betterer. Lots may miss.

What arm pit rock jawa and why it speak Franglish?

Isn’t there a universal interface for photon on any instance? I tried using them at some point but neither is compatible with my networking practices. In only use Alexandrite.

Society deserves more capable system thinkers

I’m 99% sure I know my killer is me… eventually as my spine falls apart and suffering massively increases with time. And I’m okay with that so long as it is my choice. When people talk about suicide, I strongly believe in the saying, “no permanent solutions for temporary problems.” But I strongly believe in this saying from both perspectives, aka “permanent solutions are your personal choice that I fully respect as an unalienable human right, if you choose, due to permanent problems.” Anyone trying to steal such an unalienable human right from another is exceptionally ignorant of the magnitude of potential suffering and is criminally sadistic as far as I’m concerned.

Sure, you can send me a nas with drives and another network switch, wiring, and pay for labor to run it, while setting it up to work with my hardware and firewall. I have no interest in these projects to support something maybe useful to you but that I already know. I’d rather just do what I do now and keep it to myself. I’m physically disabled with no meaningful income. Gatekeep your hobby and financial position all you’d like, but **** your random prejudiced negative vitriol towards strangers.

Not necessarily. Like I don’t have my YT stuff stored anywhere any more.

Shorter format stuff – sure, and that seems to be the only focus really for peertube now. Most of the YT stuff I posted was like bits and pieces of my journey of creating a product photography studio and progress I was making while still in my collar with a broken neck. I also made electrical hobby and bicycle stuff. I typically uploaded long format with 20-40 minutes detailing what I tried and what did or did not work when fixing stuff that is supposed to be unserviceable or undocumented and like reverse engineering type content. Some of those proved to be a reference I used many years later. My digital storage has never been at a very high quality level. Most of my motivation is like here on Lemmy; I want to share and just be a little social while maybe providing some useful tidbit that helps someone. I’d rather relegate that digital archiving to someone else mostly because my life has never been well supported or super stable.

We probably need to also get more of us actually uploading to peertube and posting stuff here with better integration.

First step is streamlining account creation and uploading. Is there a post goto for how to sign up? What servers are stable versus maybe not so much? Really useful video content is a major undertaking for technically useful stuff. I did several on YT in the past and some in the hundreds of thousands of views about how to fix or hack stuff where I was the only source posted. Editing something well is at least 1 hour per minute, and twice that with a good setup and recording. So like, I’d be far more bummed if that stuff got lost by instances disappearing. That is probably the biggest hesitation I have had. IMO, useful original content is the holy grail for this kind of thing, or maybe that is just my perspective bias.

Awareness of the audience is a critical factor in multiple hits and successful communication

You’re getting past my experience and into stuff I am half aware of on the periphery. I think you likely have an issue in the boot loader stuff. Like the bootloader initiates all the hardware onto handles that Linux then takes control over. IIRC Linux doesn’t implicitly trust any of this, but instead goes through it discovering what exists and where. Most touch pads on laptops are just an internal USB device, but not all. Some are actual hardware implementations. I had an old work Apple laptop that had a 40-odd-pin ribbon cable connection once – crazy.

It may be a situation where the touch pad is some oddball unique implementation or some hacked workaround specific to your machine. Check for scans of the same on linux-hardware.org and be sure to do a scan of yours too for anyone else. See if anyone has left notes or used other specific kernels. If some odd-ball thing works, it is probably in their scan. Do a GitHub search for the model. Sometimes that turns up something useful. Arch documentation is another. Gentoo has the documentation for all the low level stuff, how it works, and how to implement it in advanced tutorial form. Base Debian is the hardware hackers space. At this level of kernel configuration stuff, all distros are basically the same.

I have a less intrusive but similar issue with a RGB keyboard controller on a laptop that is outside of the kernel in unregistered memory.
