This is one of many comments I’ve seen on several posts that have recommended Mint. I’m currently playing around with Ubuntu, just because it’s the one I’m most familiar with from back in the day, but since the drive I’m using is temporary I might do a wipe and then load Mint and see how that operates.
If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.
I have a 10 year old laptop that I had to get rid of the hard drive for and am installing an nand drive and want to use to re-familiarize myself with Linux on it. Especially since my main desktops are too old to upgrade to Windows 11(not that I’d want to anyway) and I figure going Linux now will save me from scrambling when the pooch gets thoroughly screwed after Win 10 updates end.
This is probably a good place to ask, but when ditching windows for Linux, what’s a good distro to go with? Preferably one that has a good WINE interface.
They may not be alive but prions scare the ever living fuck out of me.
There are some people in this world who are smarter and more motivated than we are.
And then there are people who get a head start when their rich daddy gives 'em a bunch of money and they get lucky with how they invest that money but pretend to be a genius anyway.
Terrorizing military targets is completely different from terrorizing civilians. Civilian terrorism has never been an effective tool for the people doing the terrorism. It has always resulted in a huge backlash that basically destroys whatever movement it’s working for.
No, there were pro-Palastine people at the event who were being anti-Semitic and she called them out. But in the article you see that while she has called the attack by Hamas an evil act she also stated that it was brought about by Israel’s treatment of Arabs in that country. She’s been asking for them to not slaughter innocent Palestinians since the beginning. It’s literally right there at the end of everything you quoted.
“The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment," the congresswoman continued. "It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.”
Mostly it’s a Word doc with extra steps.
It’s not actually fascism, it’s modern feudalism. The push for a more totalitarian government in all of the countries you mention is being funded by the super rich who want the working class to stay firmly under their thumb. And the plebes who are voting for the oligarchic candidates are really just voting to become serfs to their new lords and masters.
They haven’t. Secession isn’t possible, at least not the way they’re* talking about doing it. And the very act of trying is called rebellion in which the federal government will then have the authority to arrest and detain the state government of Texas. Which, quite frankly, would be amusing beyond belief. I can only wish the dimwitted pinhead GOP of Texas were that astoundingly dumb.
Why not use Plex if you love it so much?
But what if they post one good meme and I miss it???
So so many restaurant staff did, it’s not even funny. 😅
Exactly! I mean just watch the movie “Waiting”. It is such an accurate portrayal that it should be classified as a documentary.
And she’s got that poofy hair so you can set your beer on her head…
At 50 years old I advise you to count the days and bless every one.
Same. I like having alternatives. And now that Sync for Lemmy is up and running I only hit reddit very occasionally for various niche things I like.
I’m quite familiar with the original comic as well as the author of the original comic and his various… proclivities.
I was referring to the necromanced comic spawned from it that was posted here.
Well this is the funny thing that has occurred in the last 24 hours. I have been playing about with basic Ubuntu and I installed Wine on it. But when I tried to come up with a Microsoft dependent application to test it out on I came to the realization that there are no applications that I use that are exclusive to Microsoft. Nearly everything I use is either web-based or has a Linux port.
Hell, even MS Office is web based nowadays. I think Windows truly has become obsolete, or at least out moded. That is for casual desktop users such as myself. There may be enterprise programs out there that still rely on Windows architecture.
Edit: P.S. the Ubuntu was really just a test for the machine I will be working with. I think I’m likely gonna stick Mint on it and give that a try after a new hard drive arrives for it later this week.
