its presidential pokemon and, now that they have trump, they plan on breeding him hard.

looks like the house of saud has placed its bet.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

but seriously, modern FOSS distros (yes, debian is modern, damnit!) are amazingly good. you have an exceptionally high probablility of switching and staying switched.

phew! good thing I still have a few 386sx AMI BIOS boards handy. no ones shopping around zero days on those anymore, right?

from the same comedy troupe that brought you last seasons blockbuster hit, “the sanctity of marraige” comes the sequel, “for everyone but you!”.

understood. tinycore is a live installable distro, so you can still test it on bare metal.

pick the GUI flavor and kick the tires for a while.

the repos are browsable inside the package manager - I would imagine they are browsable outside as well, but I have never had cause to do so.

honestly, give tinycore a shot. fire it up in a VM and take a look around - it really is an amazingly useful distro.

I wonder… where will they end up storing 29 tons of cocaine? 🤔

so shall we assume that convicted felon drumpf was, at the very least, informed of this operation between truckoads of “hamburders”?

shall we also asume that anti-vaxers everywhere will eschew their murderous complicity in what was clearly “gubbermunt propaganda to control our freedumbs”?

The U.S. military is prohibited from targeting Americans with propaganda, and Reuters found no evidence the Pentagon’s influence operation did so.

yeah, and I have some beachfront property in Florida to sell you. quick sale required.

fscking hell, man.

have you, and I say this from a place of concern, been living under a rock? there are deep time reasons for the current state of the region and most of them are a direct result of imperial powers (UK, US, et al.) sticking their self interested cod pieces into other peoples sand.

perhaps I am misunderstanding your comment, but the apparent level of reductive “us vs them” ideation is not helpful.

damn skippy, it counts. 👍

if the install had finished and the installer was simply reading the flash drive to clean itself up, unmount filesystems and reboot, then chances are you are fine. However, as a personal rule I never allow an installation to go into production if there were any unexpected anomalies during installation. its just not worth the risk.

agreed on the batterygate thing. ars did a pretty decent writeup on the reasons behind the CPU throttling.

my issue with Apple has always been their… “its magic!” bullshit. that marketing leads to more and more e-waste as other manufacturers follow the sucessful Apple marketing trend, because, you know… its NOT actually magic and batteries are consumable items.

“Ford, how am I supposed to operate my [insanely expensive] digital watch now [that the battery is broken]?” guess i’ll just get another one!

The only way to circumvent this problem is to invent a battery that doesn’t age. The person who does that is going to be a _very _ rich dude.

or how about easily replacable batteries. yes, they can be designed in a sleek, apple-y ergonomic way. but its much easier and more profitable to make battery replacements a phone killing endeavour. this applies to other manufacturers as well.

and I realised I was seeing lemmy literally come alive!

thats a rather soul stirring realization put to words. :-)

well, perhaps. but there are a plethora of escape routes if/when it gets too bad for them.

hey, windows users… your OS actively hates you!

that is all.

pretty sure thats a goat. rugged, contrary and independent. one might even say… the Greatest Of All Time.

indeed! had I not posted this, I would be asking the same question!

so, its quite a bit more mundane than you might have hoped for.

a mix of…

• ~40% locally served internal pages (mostly zabbix, mail/web server monitoring, some development pages, etc).
• ~60% non-local pages - currently lots of retro computing stuff, debian stuff, github (sigh)

the most recent page I opened was an archive.org page on TI-84 firmware disassembly.

I make heavy use of Firefox containers for separation. honestly, Firefox is an absolute workhorse for me. if the Firefox ecosystem were to fall into the void, I would be dead in the water.
