GNOME. Eagerly waiting for cosmic.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will have to go to Gaziantep next time I visit Turkiye, the food there seems incredible.

Good eye, it is indeed Hafiz Mustafa!

Would definitely recommend it, we tried a few different spots including Karaköy Güllüoğlu and Hafiz Mustafa was our favourite. Note this is from 2019 so am not sure if things have changed.

They raised almost $5,000 to help South Africans fight racial discrimination.

Try both out as flatpaks if you're on Linux and keep the one you like as I did :). I think both flatpaks come with the full suite.

I ended up sticking with OnlyOffice and feel it will probably work better for most people doing things like writing documents and spreadsheets with various formatting, tables, charts, formulas and equations.

I am mainly a Google docs user (and in the past MS office) as most people are and the OnlyOffice UI and workflow is much more comfortable if you're coming from these products. Things work and look the way you would expect. LibreOffice UI feels very clunky and dated (even after trying different layouts). For example, charts look really bad by default in LibreOffice. OnlyOffice seems to work pretty much just as well as gDocs/MS office so far in my limited experience for most scenarios.

As part of my effort to reduce reliance on gDocs I am planning on setting up a self hosted Nextcloud office instance and it is based on OnlyOffice so it is more motivation for me to stick with it!

Good point, edited!

PPD comes default on most distros (I can at least confirm for Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora on the GNOME variant). I am not sure about KDE variants but they should support it too even if it's not pre-installed.

You can check if it's running with the following command:

$ powerprofilesctl

However as the 0.20 release which supports p-state just released recently most fixed point release distros won't have the newer version. In this case you would need to update it manually.

I am running Debian testing and it has the new version while stable does not.

Also want to appreciate the idle efficiency improvements! My AMD laptop only loses a few % of battery life after idling overnight (with the default s2idle sleep mode). A huge improvement to my older work Intel ThinkPad which loses over 25% overnight...

[-] supermair@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yes, Zen 2 and above support p-states! You might need to update your bios and enable CPPC if p-state is not showing up.

You can confirm by running $ powerprofilesctl and seeing if CpuDriver is amd_pstate.

[-] supermair@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Yes. You should not use tlp anymore on any AMD processor that supports p-states. TLP does not support these and it's own logic may conflict with the CPU. Use PPD and let the processor itself take care of the optimizations!

AMD has been on a roll over the past year making significant strides in power management across the Linux stack.

Most of this work is centered around support for p-state.

To take advantage you should run a newer Linux kernel. Here are some of the improvements from each recent release:

Use power-profiles-daemon 0.20+ which sets the appropriate p-state driver based on the selected battery profile.

Upcoming changes:

Kudos to AMD principal engineer Mario Limonciello for driving these changes across the board!

This is one advantage of increased competition (e.g. from the Apple M series); the entire ecosystem is pushed forward.

I am personally benefiting immensely from these improvements on my new Thinkpad t14s with AMD 7840U (battery life going from 4-5 hours to easily 10+ hours).

Finally we don't have to settle anymore for underwhelming battery life on Linux laptops :)

Did people even bother reading the article? A medical exam is literally one of the ways listed to skip the period if a woman does not want to wait:

The period can be dismissed if the woman agrees to undergo a medical examination to prove she is not pregnant or if she remarries her ex-husband. The period also ends if a woman gives birth.

You are backing your claim with a factually incorrect example.

For an actual reference, here is the verse you are misquoting:

https://quran.com/2/282

O believers! When you contract a loan for a fixed period of time, commit it to writing. Let the scribe maintain justice between the parties. The scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught them to write. They will write what the debtor dictates, bearing Allah in mind and not defrauding the debt. If the debtor is incompetent, weak, or unable to dictate, let their guardian dictate for them with justice. Call upon two of your men to witness. If two men cannot be found, then one man and two women of your choice will witness—so if one of the women forgets the other may remind her [1]. The witnesses must not refuse when they are summoned. You must not be against writing ˹contracts˺ for a fixed period—whether the sum is small or great. This is more just ˹for you˺ in the sight of Allah, and more convenient to establish evidence and remove doubts. However, if you conduct an immediate transaction among yourselves, then there is no need for you to record it, but call upon witnesses when a deal is finalized. Let no harm come to the scribe or witnesses. If you do, then you have gravely exceeded ˹your limits˺. Be mindful of Allah, for Allah ˹is the One Who˺ teaches you. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Footnote [1]: Generally speaking, there is a difference between witnessing and giving testimony before a judge. Verse 2:282 talks about witnessing a debt contract, not giving testimony. To fully understand the context of this verse, we need to keep in mind that 1500 years ago women did not normally participate in business transactions or travel with trading caravans and, therefore, not every woman had the expertise to witness a debt contract. Even if two women were available at the time of signing the contract, perhaps the primary witness might not be able to recall the details of the contract or appear before a judge because of compelling circumstances such as pregnancy or delivery. In any of these cases, the second woman will be a back-up. Some scholars maintain that one woman can be sufficient as a witness so long as she is reliable. As for giving testimony, a ruling can be made based on available testimony, regardless of the number or gender of the witnesses. For example, the beginning of Ramaḍân is usually confirmed by the sighting of the new moon, regardless of the gender of the person who sights the moon. Also the highest form of witness in Islam is for someone to testify they heard a narration (or ḥadîth) from the Prophet (ﷺ). An authentic ḥadîth is accepted by all Muslims regardless of the gender of the narrator. Moreover, if a husband accuses his wife of adultery and he has no witnesses, each spouse must testify five times that they are telling the truth and the other side is lying. Both testimonies are equal (see 24:6-10). In some cases, only women’s testimony is accepted while men’s testimony is rejected, such as testifying regarding a woman’s pregnancy or virginity.

For many people living in poverty, Eid Al Adha is the only time of the year they get to have fresh meat.

The meat is portioned into three parts: one for yourself and your immediate family, one for non-immediate family and friends and one for those living in poverty. Excess meat is frozen or dried to prolong use.

Many charities also accept donations of animal hides to generate money.

It serves an important economic function in many countries by funneling resources from the rich and urban areas to rural and poorer areas.
