It’s a work computer. Talk to your IT department.

Frankly, you have no business setting it up yourself at all, unless you have a good reason to need it, explicit permission from your boss, etc. Or if you’re a software engineer or IT admin type employee yourself (but if that were the case you probably wouldn’t be asking this question).

Also, my experience is that if you as an employee need multiple operating systems (e.g. developing an app that supported Windows and OS X, as I did in a previous job), you should be furnished with a second machine instead of being expected to dual-boot. For a company, the hardware cost is trivial compared to the labor cost of your lost productivity screwing around with dual-booting.

I understand everybody’s got to start somewhere and I’m sorry if this comes across as harsh, but outside of a very limited set of circumstances (e.g. being the sole IT guy at a small company trying to self-teach), this is literally Not Your Job.

Obviously, your next print is a replacement tension adjustment pulley thing, as is tradition.

only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

I think that’s a point that deserves more attention. Considering the “long tail” of niche communities and that the propaganda surely isn’t evenly distributed, it’s very possible that the big default and political subs are mostly propaganda and other shilling at this point.

The petro-fascists are Hell-bent on destroying satellites (and ground-based observatories) measuring climate change, and the article should’ve been more explicit pointing that out.

Zero useful information about which routers are vulnerable. I’m just gonna assume my fully up-to-date OpenWRT with a non-default password isn’t.

They should move the “KDE Neon” name to this new immutable version.

But why? Is there really not already some other project that does that, that the dev could join instead?

Let’s be honest: if Google’s spam filters were biased they’d be filtering and suppressing Democrat emails, not Republican ones.

Never mind AI; drive-throughs themselves are absolutely shit-tier urbanism and ought to be outlawed.

Literally illegal. Only AMD and Intel have the patent cross-licensing rights to make x86 chips. There used to be a third company (Cyrix and subsequently VIA), and (maybe?) still is, but it hasn’t been relevant to the desktop CPU market in decades.

The real competition will come from ARM-based computers.

Not me! I switched in 2017, right around the time Windows 10 “telemetry” (read: spyware) was getting backported to Windows 7.

It was a rough first couple of years, gaming-wise, but I managed to get by playing mostly Linux-native games and using PlayOnLinux with pre-Proton WINE for the one or two games important enough to justify the hassle.

(INB4 “weird flex but OK”)

I gotta admit, I was pretty conflicted about Proton when it was first announced, since there was a lot of fear that it would reduce developer impetus to make proper Linux-native games. I’m not actually sure whether that came to pass or not, but I feel like the issue is a lot less important than it seemed at the time.

My first thought reading the headline was ‘the Earth is healing,’ LOL

But the article is about these sites breaking Florida law, and they are.

No, that’s not true. You cannot break a law when the government in question has no jurisdiction over you. The sites are not breaking Florida law because they are not subject to Florida law in the first place.

Why should any website operator be held responsible for complying with every stupid law in every podunk shithole jurisdiction everywhere in the world? By this logic, every site should comply with whatever unhinged BS North Korea and Saudi Arabia insist upon, too – is that what you want?

If Florida doesn’t like these websites that are not hosted in Florida, that’s Florida’s problem, not the website operators’, and Florida can do its own damn geofencing itself.

Yeah, it was Europe’s fault for getting the US to replace its utilitarian “to promote the progress of science and the useful arts” basis for copyright with ‘droite d’arteur’ moral rights (via the Berne Convention treaty) in the first place.

On other issues like immigration or racism, they are on a MAGA-level. There is no big controversy because it is widely taken for granted that European nations are ethno-states. This is less so in the former colonial powers Britain and France. But they have their own baggage that gnaws at them from within, just like the history of racial segregation undermines the USA.

What about Spain and Portugal?

What do you mean? New Zealand is the big winner in that classification, what with Zealandia being one of the biggest masses of sunken continental crust on Earth.

The main reason my wife and I don’t have location sharing set up isn’t because of trust or lack thereof between each other, but because I don’t trust proprietary/commercial location-sharing services.

I’ve been meaning to set up a self-hosted system (mainly because it seems like Home Assistant could do some neat automations with that info), but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
