the option is definitely there on android and desktop. but if iOS is still so simplistic to not have a common filesystem for the user and apps, I don't know where could it put the export file

edit: I was misateken, it seems they have removed the function from the android app

Previously it was just societal expectations but apparently it's not that anymore.

since when is going to the dentist the only societal expectation? since when is that a societal expectation at all?

• education lot of places that force you to install spyware for the online exams
• banks that intentionally break their websites on "unsupported" systems
• workplaces where people work with computers, basically generally, becausre of ms office and supervision software

I was trying to show that android is not really Linux. it has lots of changes both to the kernel and the userspace

to a similar extent as windows is DOS

here is the low-level documentation on sleep on linux, and the ways you can initiate it: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.html#standby

I would try if setting mem_sleep to any of its values and then sleeping fixes the issue. read this file first to know which options are available on your system, and what is the current default.
if none of them works, try to write freeze or standby into the state file to see of any of them works, in case your system does not do sleeping by writing mem into this file.

if this is a firmware issue, hopefully one of the ways that don't involve the firmware could work until a better solution is found.

the Arch Wiki has mostly the same info but with more (or different) details: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate

it also mentions what are your options if deep sleep (which is real sleep) does not work.

let us know what results you got

I don't think anybody requires you to do so. you do that for your own health

so you use the integrated graphics of the ryzen, right? you can check in KDE's info center, to make sure

windows may have a workaround for your hardware. It's relatively common for popular hardware to not work according to specifications, unfortunately, and that results in all kinds of mundane behaviour like this

logs are mostly at 2 places.

kernel logs are read with the dmesg command. use the --follow parameter if you want it to keep printing new messages.
dmesg does not save logs to disk.

broader system logs are read with journalctl. use -f for it to keep printing. the journal records kernel messages, but it only shows them when you specifically request it. you can find the param for that in man journalctl.
the journalctl (journald actually) saves logs to disk. but if you don't/can't shut down the system properly, the last few messages will not be there.

some system programs log to files in /var/log/, but that's not relevant for now.

if you switch to a VT as the other user described, you should see a terminal prompt on aback background. log in and run dmesg --follow > some_file, some_file should not be something important that already exists in the current directory. switch to another VT, log in, and run sleep. try to wake up. see if you could have waken up, and if not check the logs you piped to the file, maybe post it here for others to see.

also, what did you do after setting the deep sleep kernel param? did you rebuild the grub config, and reboot before trying to sleep with it? that change only gets applied if you do those in that order.
there's an easier way to test different sleep modes temporarily, let me know if it would be useful

after wake up, does the numlock button change its light when you press it?

"freely"* (Terms of Service and Privacy Policy applies) using a service that you are basically expected to use by society around you

oh it is. most of us are not switching for fun, but because microsoft is extremely user hostile and exploitative

go away with that fucking mentality. microsoft really thinks they can do anything with their slaves

it seems useful, but I think it should appear in the moderation log. and the log entries relating to a post should be visible on the post's page, possibly by clicking an item in an overflow menu

but mod editing probably should be limited to metadata.

alternatives are totally worthless for the only useful property of cryptocurrencies, which is private payments

I don't get what the others are talking about, there is nothing after this, even through scribe or on an archive.org snapshot made recently

Taking him down would put the fear into the rest and, hopefully, get some intel on the other keyholders through the IRC backchannels.

Is it possible to set a password for sudo on Android? I've never seen anyone talk about it.

on android you don't use sudo, or if it is possible, it is not the usual way. usually there is an app that controls access, and when something wants to start a new program with the su command (switch user), the app pops up a prompt about whether you want to allow it. this prompt can be implemented terribly insecurely or not (or rather the "backend" of it really).

the most common root solution nowadays is Magisk. it only modifies the bootloader. it is open source. if you look up how it works, its like a sophisticated malware, but handing control to you

Sucks that I can't control sensors with root. Sensors are my biggest fear on all phones.

you can't for the modem. but for other apps, you can, if that's worth anything. to me it does, because some sensors are not gated by a permission (gyroscope, compass, magnetometer, proximity sensor, light sensor)

what android version do you have? on newer ones there's a developer setting to allow to have a "sensors off" quick settings tile

Well, shit.

if you don't need the modem, you may be able to safely wipe the partition holding its firmware. but look it up if it is safe for your phone! it should be, but who knows. also, make a backup! not 1, but 3!! it holds identifiers like the IMEI, and if you lose that.. you can't really just think up a new one, or the carrier may ban you and another poor soul

what is the process of using these, generally? (I assume there are variations)

are there ATMs that work without a camera pointed at your face?

it is not at all detrimental to privacy. it may be to security. different things.

of course, until you install something that uses root and mines data. but there are plenty of tools working with root that don't do that.

you most probably can't switch off sensors even with root, effectively. that needs a hardware based switch that just cuts power to the sensor, and requires your physical action to turn it back on.

Intel ME on android is ARM TrustZone, I think, or at least probably that's the closest, but take this with a grain of salt.

but I doubt that a highly complex OS is running beneath general Android as we know it

afaik the modem often relies on a linux based system

If anyone at Proton is reading this [...] I'll stop leeching resources once I finish migrating to my new email provider.
