Maybe not the best example, but The Prestige was very fun. I thought the reveal was worth waiting for, it sort of felt like a whodunit.

Well, I don’t use a DE so your scenario of the new display not switching over right away is basically my life every time autorandr decides not to run on startup.

Wow, what a missed layup. Guess she wants to lose all of her goodwill? Fucking strange.

I would like to read more about this but I don’t want to have to sift through BS. Link?

Yes, and so I am no longer using it. :b

Honestly, I just kept some distros on a USB disk with Ventoy (amazing software for booting ISOs from USB) on it and booted them up repeatedly until I felt comfortable and found my favourite.

I really don’t think waffling around on Windows trying open source alternatives is the answer. Look up what the alternatives are, then boot up a live image and download them. Try them. Then switch if you like it.

This is coming from someone who used Windows from 1999 until 2023 and planned a transition to Linux over time (about a month) using a spreadsheet. It really doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult; I’m not a programmer or anything, I’m just a former Windows power user.

For anyone out of the loop:

Many of us at LightBurn are Linux users ourselves, and this decision was made reluctantly, after careful investigation of all possible avenues for continuing Linux support.

If y’all use Linux, then how the fuck do you not know about Flatpak, or even AppImage? Christ.

This happens in Canada too, you just extra fucked in the US because you also have to pay up when you go to a shitty walk-in.

I wish there was an easier way for foreign doctors, nurses, and medical staff to upskill, retrain, or otherwise have their credentials recognized so that they can continue in the medical field.

I’ve spoken to so many people (and their acquaintances) who can’t afford the money or time it would take to start over to become credentialed in engineering, law, and medicine. Agreements like the Sydney Accord help, but they don’t fix the problem.

Wow, and the kids are in Thin Blue Line shirts. What a weird family.

Surely the leopards would never eat my face!

The openSUSE installer supports more than 50 different languages but only a few of them have their full localization on the media. To add additional localization to your system, you need to invoke software installation once you have online access.

Yes, and ETFs have the best odds with pretty low, but relatively stable, returns. It’s fairly low-risk because that’s how index funds work. Retail investing is not really for me, so low-risk is the most I am comfortable with.

In this scenario, I only need to keep the money in stocks for 1 month. It’s not like investing in crypto, I’d lose barely any of it in that time if I lost anything at all.

No knowledge of the financial stuff, but maybe: put most of it in a variety of ETFs, hire a financial advisor and an accountant to help you navigate the system and the taxes, then cash out and donate it.

You spend it without giving it away. Then you give it away. Some countries give you a lot of it back at tax time if you donate to registered charities so you’ll even get something for it. I dunno, I’m a poor so maybe it wouldn’t work out, but it would be cool.

Gotta love some shit icing on the shit cake.

Do not do this. You’ll create a Frankendebian and your updates could (and probably will) break your system. Try to use a PPA instead, since Ubuntu is Debian-based.

And Elon Musk is 53. So?

Edit: This wasn’t meant to be about Musk, it’s supposed to point out that 59 isn’t old and that age cutoffs are largely arbitrary.

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. It’s nuts that a word means something totally different in one specific area of the world because it’s politically convenient to ignore what it actually means.

Yeah, it’s hard to explain in the US and Canada, where there are only two major parties, that they don’t represent two ends of a political spectrum. They’re just two dominant parties that have different ideas; on a lot of things, they even agree and don’t hide it.

I wish we, as kids in society, had learned more about specific right-wing and left-wing policies in history and civics so that this distinction could be made more clear. Or at least that we were taught what liberalism is and what neoliberalism is and how they’re different.

But we didn’t and weren’t, so when people think “liberal” they think “left,” and we’re all worse off for it.
