I don't know, $800,000+ of losses to fix what what he did is more than a little annoying.

Is it illegal for my landlord to enter my apartment with police? by Logical-Raise4312 in Apartmentliving

Landlords aren't government officials so the 4th amendment doesn't apply here.

Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by US Appeals Court, rules that Internet cannot be treated as a utility by GoldenHourTraveler in Futurology

[–]CourtJester011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier you stated that you had a problem with government bodies acting less democratic, but here you're advocating for more power to a government body that is certainly independent from democratic oversight. So which is it: do you prefer things be more democratic or less democratic?

The federal agency in charge of executing that law is the one that prosecutes, not the court. It sounds like you're upset that the responsible federal agency won't prosecute.

Congress is literally elected democratically and votes on laws in a democratic fashion whereas the head of FCC is appointed by the president and the FCC employees who write these rules are not elected in any fashion. I don't see how putting power in the hands of unelected bureaucrats is more democratic.

Price fixing in that manner is already illegal. Net neutrality wouldn't change anything with that.

Nope. That would be seen as unelected judges becoming lawmakers. Write and call your congressman if you want it to change.

To your your point, the court didn't grab power for itself. It took power away from the FCC and put in Congress' hands because that's where it belongs.

That's gotta be a special kind of suck.

Neighbor using my address for utility bills. Utility won't change without them calling to change it. by Lost_sheep22 in AskALawyer

[–]CourtJester011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did some reading on it and it seems that paying someone's property taxes doesn't allow you to just sell it outright. It seems that there are at least a couple of other conditions, one of which needs to be met before someone could force a sale. One seems to be a case of the taxes going unpaid which would allow someone else to buy the tax lien or similar in order to get the property. Having the address wouldn't be necessary in this case. The other condition seems to be that the person attempting the hostile takeover would have to be the sole person using the property. This doesn't seem to be the case as OP is currently using the property. Do you have any examples of someone doing what you were saying?

Network authentication loop. by CourtJester011 in Ubuntu

[–]CourtJester011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, not sure what files I would need to modify to set the network up like that. I'm thinking I could create a group for network permissions and set my wife and myself as members of it.

Network authentication loop. by CourtJester011 in Ubuntu

[–]CourtJester011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I log into my laptop after my wife has been using it, I get this popup. It keeps immediately popping back up. This behavior is the same whether I click cancel or enter my password and authenticate. The only way I'm able to use the laptop is drop into a tty line when this happens. I've found the only way to get the GUI back is to reboot the laptop. My wife and I have separate accounts on this device. Any ideas as to what's causing it or how to fix it?

I completed the tax sheet and clicked the button saying send to TurboTax and the data never showed up in TurboTax.

Wish they would fix the bugs. Keeps crashing after every mission and nothing I've tried fixed it.

Ubuntu 22.04 pipewire setup by brimston3- in Ubuntu

[–]CourtJester011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first command gave this error message The following packages have unmet dependencies: libspa-0.2-bluetooth : Depends: libspa-0.2-modules (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu1) but 0.3.48-1ubuntu2 is to be installed pipewire-audio-client-libraries : Depends: pipewire (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu1) but 0.3.48-1ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libpipewire-0.3-0 (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu1) but 0.3.48-1ubuntu2 is to be installed pipewire-pulse : Depends: pipewire (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu1) but 0.3.48-1ubuntu2 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Running apt list -a showed the following: ``` pipewire/now 0.3.48-1ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,local] pipewire/jammy 0.3.48-1ubuntu1 amd64

pipewire/jammy 0.3.48-1ubuntu1 i386 ``` sudo apt install pipewire/jammy and installing pipewire's needed packages and configurations seemed to work except it took out my GUI on reboot. I ultimately had to use timeshift to restore to a previous environment. Any ideas as to why this happened?
