In the end, I had a 2 pages-document of pros and cons for leaving church…
Some of them:
If I wasn’t part of Christianity and had the choice to join, would I do it? No.
The scandals
Their actions to keep the scandals under the radar which made it even worse
Wasted money in Germany. A bishop in Germany bought a bathtub for 15k €. That’s a prominent case, but there are a lot more
The fact that the church is literally a throttle of evolution.
Still no equality between men and women (I’m sure, they’ll do that at some point. But it’s the church. So, it’s gonna take 600 years)
No proof of existence of a god or whatever
There are n religions saying, their god is the real one. At least n-1 of them must be wrong.
Only 3-5% of the money you pay as a member via taxes goes to charity (in Germany)
The “Bistum Köln” in Germany has so much money… They started investing it and bought shares of companies.
I became a member of a religion when I was < 1 year old. I confirmed it when I was 13??? Most other live-relevant decisions are 18+. This should be the same here.
Religion lessons in school felt like a waste of time
Church is a black box. No one knows what they are actually doing, how much money they own, …
Church has an own “justice system” in Germany, which is terrible.
Most Christians prefer not acting christian when they are challenged.
I didn’t want to finance an Anti-LGBT group
Ratlines, a.k.a. “How the church helped Nazis to escape Europe after WW2”
… and 10 more points.
Also, I found only 3 or 4 very bad arguments to not quit
And when I realized that the only thing keeping me in there is “fearing” how some people (mostly family) might react when I’d quit, I knew, I had to quit as soon as possible.
When closing and opening my MacBook, it’s necessary to execute sudo rmmod brcmfmac and then sudo modprobe brcmfmac. Only executing the 2nd command is not enough.
Your first 2 paths under /etc have a description like this:
kernel modules to load at boot time.
The problem I’m having is that I have to reload the module when the laptop was closed and reopened.
So, I think, the first 2 paths won’t work, right? It’s not boot time?
Something like the 2nd path was described in a tutorial about getting started on a MacBook with Linux. I remember it.
But the path you described does not exist on my system.
I have a path /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/, do you mean that one?
This contains 1 file (probably created by me in the beginning) called lid_wakeup_disable:
<span style="color:#323232;"> #!/bin/sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># /lib/systemd/system-sleep/lid_wakeup_disable
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Avoids that system wakes up immediately after suspend or hibernate
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># with lid open (e.g. suspend/hibernate through KDE menu entry)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Tested on MacBookPro12,1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">case $1 in
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> pre)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> if cat /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep -qE '^LID0.*enabled'; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> echo LID0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> fi
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> ;;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">esac
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>
Do I add rmmod brcmfmac; modprobe brcmfmac; (without sudo) at the bottom?
I’m thankful for any help to get rid of the service.
I’m a software developer (my background), I was always kind of interested in it, but primarily the fact that Apple stopped giving my 2015 MacBook Pro OS updates, including security updates, which forced me to do something.
And yeah, Plasma or GNOME is pretty much how the OS looks like.
ber of instances grows 100x, all existing instances face an increase in costs even if they didn’t gain many more users, because they’re receiving more messages from federated instances,
The German feddit.de hosters (the one I’m using and probably the 5th largest instance) declined donation completely when I last checked…
I think, I red about the hosting situation of the German feddit.de (probably the 4th largest lemmy instance) and that they don’t take donations, because it’s “not that expensive”…
