No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Mac OS Ventura 13.5, m1 Mac.

Background: if a video player like free tube is active, the screensaver is prevented from running.

If you force the computer to sleep anyway the screen goes off - so far so good.

If the lock screen comes up, and a video player like free tube is active, the screensaver will not activate on the lock screen, and the screen will not turn off for power saving. So the computer would just sit there with the lock screen up forever. So if the computer gets awake on lan packet, or the mouse jiggles, or anything turns the lock screen on. It just sits there burning into the monitor. It's very annoying.

How do people get the screensaver to work on the lock screen no matter what? Is there way to override the preventing sleep status for media players?

I'd prefer that media players can't prevent the monitor from going to sleep. I often use my Mac as a secondary monitor video player while doing other things, so if it turns off it's no big deal I can just wiggle the mouse. But this tends to mean that there's always a video player active on that computer. So that means the screen never sleeps. And I often come back to find the monitor just burning energy, and slowly burning into the screen.
