Sure, here are instructions for getting Linux Mint running: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
These instructions are for creating a USB flash drive that functions as both a live environment or an installer. If you don’t want to install it yet, this allows you to try it out while booting just from the flash drive, without modifying your hard drive at all.
Do you have any evidence of major AI generated memes and comments? Sometimes I see an obvious AI image (and down vote it), and some communities are made for the purpose of AI so I blocked them. But aside from that, have you found much generative AI slop?
And if so, how would you fix that in code? Some sort of captcha? I think the volume is low enough that it wouldn’t help.
First choice: 292 K
Second choice: 9 C
If we’re talking only outdoor temperature, third choice is 100 F, because air conditioning exists, and my peppers would thrive.
If it’s ambient indoor temperature too, then I pick 9 F, which is unpleasant, but survivable. At 100 F indoors, you will be constantly sweating for the rest of your life.
If gender is what’s in your pants, then twice a week my gender is your dad.
When you switch to an admin account on Windows, there are still files owned by “TrustedInstaller” that you can’t touch, and processes owned by “System” that you can’t terminate.
Linux doesn’t have that. When you switch to root, you can kill any process. You can modify or delete any file.
I haven’t used it in the last several years, but from about 2014-2018 any time I tried to download, it required registration, and any time I tried to register, it just didn’t work. It was some problem with the javascript in their site. Probably related to captcha or something. Yes, I tried multiple computers, multiple browsers, even tried registering on a library’s computer.
Looks like their site is less shit now, but it’s still awful.
Sorry if it wasn’t obvious, I’m using sysvinit.
My favorite is Debian, with systemd uninstalled. At this point, you can’t install Debian without systemd, but you can uninstall systemd after OS installation.
It used to be that most desktop environments in Debian depended on libpam-systemd, which depended on systemd and systemd-sysv. More recently, desktop environments just depend on libpam-elogind and elogind which is only part of systemd, and allows you to use sysvinit.
I prefer sysvinit mainly because I find it easier to create custom services out of my own programs. My success rate at doing this in systemd is 1/3, and in sysvinit about 10/10.
I also had a problem where a Debian-based embedded system had some kind of broken NTP client running on startup, and due to systemd, I couldn’t figure out how to disable it. It would set the time to several years into the future, as soon as it first got a network connection on each startup.
Purple: You have eaten beets recently. Green: You have had a Vitamin B supplement.
You could just counterspell it. The “no spells in the building can be countered” and “protection” clauses only affect it after it enters the battlefield.
So, it would go to the graveyard, its owner would be banned, and nobody could take any turns. They would have to postpone the tournament until the next day.
My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.
This survey doesn’t distinguish between levels of cloud service provider, so I was a little confused.
Virtual private servers, cloud virtual servers (like AWS), cloud-based software where you provide code or a program and the cloud system runs it on a server of its choosing, and cloud-based systems where someone else provides the software (like Google Docs).
Kanopy looks like they use Widevine DRM. I will continue using other DRM-free sources.
The GPL explicitly allows redistributing without charge, even if you paid for it. If they didn’t want their program redistributed, they shouldn’t have licensed it under the GPL.
Their entire security model depends on knowing file extensions, but they still hide them. Even if you enable it, there are some extensions that still won’t show, like .lnk (shortcut file). You can absolutely have executable code, and therefore malware in a .lnk file.
And it was GPL, so it wasn’t even copyright infringement.
It would be profitable if they taxed pollution according to the damage it causes.
I assume bash scripts using jpegtopnm | pnmtopng are also in the neutral good category (from Netpbm).
The Nintendo 64 had no 64-bit games.
They probably would have taken more flash and RAM with no advantage in performance.
Last company where I faced external suppliers, I had to take a training where they said we couldn’t accept any item worth more than like $20, except food or alcohol during a presentation. But we could accept such items on behalf of the company, and they would be raffled off to a random employee. One time a guy in purchasing got a giant brass horse head from a Chinese supplier. I guess nobody signed up for the raffle, so it became a permanent fixture in the cafeteria.
