Question for my GPU-having friends - Lemmy.World

I’m having this problem on two second hand hp business machines with … I think discrete graphics but now that I’m writing this I never bothered to check. I’m running Ubuntu on them and they basically run Minecraft and flightgear a few times a day. Not every time, but eventually when either machine attempts to enter suspend mode it will instead crash and stay like this until a manual hard reset. I suspect this is related to certain software running when suspend is initiated but I’m not sure. I’m not using Ubuntu much myself these days and I’ve never used a Radeon GPU, any advice or ideas would be appreciated. If anyone wants to dig in I can get hardware info and logs, I’m feeling lazy at the moment.

Bad faith representation should be a crime - Lemmy.World

We can try a criminal case with the slimmest possible amount of information. Why is bad faith action not criminal in modern democracy. It amounts to fraud of the highest degree. To me the most blatant form is those elected representatives who changed political party after election, but includes any elected official acting contrary to the platform they were elected on. Democracy cannot survive this kind of fraud.

Idea: burn the corporate veil - Lemmy.World

In the wake of recent events a widespread disgust with the behavior of corporations has been in the spotlight. Why do companies act? Mostly ‘for the shareholders.’ This is why Twitter is no more, why openAI is an empty husk, and possibly why our planet is headed towards a climate disaster. Note this Ferengi-esque drive to profit is entrenched in our model of a corporation: It’s entire purpose is profit. When we think of a corporation acting in the interest of it’s shareholders we only think of actions that result in profit in dividends or stock prices. Why is this the only way corporations act in the interest of shareholders? Because shareholders, owners, only take financial risk when owning a corporation. Owners are inherently protected from the consequences of corporate actions. Corporations commit crime. It happens, and it is difficult to pin down who is ultimately responsible for these crimes. Sometimes it is an employee who truly is responsible, but sometimes the company itself created the conditions requiring employees to break the law and sometimes the company decides the penalty is worth the profit. Imagine how the balance of competing interests would change if instead of treating owners as disinterested observers, responsibility for all corporate actions was evenly divided by ownership stake. Fines, asset seizure, court orders, prison sentences, felon status all trickling up to those ultimately responsible: owners. The best interest of shareholders would no longer be limited to maximizing profit, but also minimizing prosecution risk. This would not stop bad actors entirely, but would remove one of the evolutionary pressures that selects for their success.

Help w/ crash - Lemmy.World

Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash… And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I’m suspicious of. Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support… Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don’t respond, SysRq doesn’t work)
