Not trying to question your motives here (seriously, I’m not) but I grimace hearing “we’re only months away from the election, we couldn’t possibly make changes now” because it has a perverse similarity to the argument Mitch McConnell used to ratfuck his way into an extra SC justice. And we all know how that turned out.
The internal speakers cutting off while docked seems to be a bug; I had the same issue and was able to work around it by following this comment.
For music, I have FreeTube and Tidal installed as non-steam games. I’d prefer if I could hit the media control shortcuts on my keyboard and control Tidal while I’m in a game, for example, but I haven’t found a way to do that. The closest I’ve gotten is by installing Decky Loader and the Music Control plugin.
By Grabthar’s Hammer, what an asshole
“It comes out of the fuckin’ ground. I couldn’t believe it!”
Bypassing Congress multiple times to provide weapons to Israel will do that.
Because I’m that guy: “hanged”
(disclaimer: language is a fluid construct, talk however you want, there’s no one “right” way to speak, some of us just enjoy being pedantic assholes)
I ran into something similar where the main Syncthing interface was limiting a folder to “Send Only” with that same “locked to read only” message. In my case I was able to work around it by going to the Web GUI and there I was able to set the folder in question to “Send & Receive”. I don’t know if it will apply to your situation, but you might give that a shot if you haven’t already.
