Testing with a Linux Mint Debian Edition live USB. I will probably prep with the same version of Linux, as the Intel i7 seventh generation CPU is probably not supported by Windows 11.
Windows isn't an option for me either for the last 20 years or so.
I refurbish and sell computers, specializing in ThinkPad laptops. Some of my customers want Windows, so I offer both that and Linux as Operating System options.
My every day carry laptop has Linux (Devuan) with an Intel seventh gen processor in a ThinkPad X270 laptop. Good series!
I've been happy on #LinuxMint for the last few months with a newer laptop (i7, usbio cam, etc.) and highly recommend. All the pkgs freshness of ubuntu without the horrors of snap
i normally don't indulge in celebrity gossip however this stuff with brigitte macron being possibly a tranny is pretty weird. maybe she is, maybe not but the way they're trying to silence the "conspiracy theorists" made me want to investigate, and they seem to be involved in all sorts of creepy incest and pedophilia
I’d say “net payer” and I wouldn’t just count “pay taxes”. Depending on jurisdiction, you have people that RECEIVE more from things like tax returns and school credits than they pay in. Only the people with a NET payment should vote. Not specifying that would allow a lot of “tax payers” to pay $20, receive $80 and then vote for another $20 more.
"Israel began evacuating most of its diplomatic mission staff in the UAE" Israel's National Security Council: “It is believed there is increased motivation for revenge” following Israel’s war with Iran, “in addition to rising anti-Israel incitement and pro-Palestinian sentiment" "Israel’s 12-day war on Iran and its recent escalation in the Gaza Strip are clearly making the region less stable. Meanwhile, diplomacy seems to be absent"
Teachers might be some of the most retarded humans on the planet. I don't know if anybody remembers hooked on phonics, but my mom started that with me around 3. By third grade, I was testing for the GATE program (that's some weird shit) while reading and comprehending at a sophomore in college level. I'm no genius, I just know how to learn anything
Go against the grain. The majority of the world is dumb and they want to keep you dumb with them.
In my parents generation (Russian, gen X), it is assumed that a child should be able to read and write before they go to school. 4~5 year old kids should already be reading, and slowly writing. Takes much longer to improve handwriting, but the basics can and should be learned in kindergarten, or earlier if the kid is up to it.
_WAR! Visa & Mastercard BAN Video Games After FEMINIST OUTRAGE, But NEW LAW COULD STOP THIS_
What's next? Payment processors banning pro-abortion videos over Christian outrage?
Your outrage does not justify banning whatever does not actually directly violate the rights of others. If it did, then outrage over such bannings would justify the banning of those who use their outrage to justify banning what they disapprove of.
Feminists are outraged over video games for adults and have pressured payment processors into banning video games they dont like.This is debanking at its wor...

Ayer mi hija se fue a jugar una partida de rol con sus colegas. Un amigo suyo se había comprado una de las cajas de inicio de D&D5 y se animó a dirigirles la partida introductoria, usando personajes pregenerados y tal.
Mi hija ha jugado conmigo de director muchas veces, y como siempre va diciendo por ahí que es una actividad muy divertida, es la *experta en rol* de su grupo 😂.
El colega que le dirigió la partida ayer tenía algunas dudas, así que le pasó a mi hija un whatsapp con las dudas y estuve un ratito grabándole audios para que mi hija se los reenviara, con consejos, resolución de dudas y tal.
Al parecer le sirvieron de ayuda, porque la partida no fue mal. Según mi retoña, se notaba en algunos casos que el chico les iba dirigiendo un poco para que no se desviaran de la aventura, algo que no es habitual en las partidas que dirijo yo, en la que mis jugadores tienen mucha más libertad para hacer lo que quieran. Pero es normal cuando estás empezando hacerlo así, luego ya vas cogiendo más confianza y tienes más herramientas para improvisar, dar libertad, etc. Suele coincidir con el momento en el que, como director de juego, te das cuenta de que lo importante en una partida de rol es que los jugadores sientan que sus decisiones son importantes y que tienen libertad de intentar lo que sea. Eso es mucho más importante que la propia aventura en sí.
Me alegro de que los chavales jóvenes se animen a ponerse a dirigir por su cuenta (tenían todos entre 18 y 19 años). Entiendo que empezaran por D&D, que es el juego de rol más famoso, aunque espero que, si se animan a seguir, prueben también otros juegos 😀.
Author complains that everybody wants TLDR, nobody cares about "depth".

I'm not a fan of HOA's - and sorry if your situation succumbs to homeowner 'rules' - but the house across the street and kitty corner from us has a new paint project in the works and it's turning heads. It's a two story home, much like other's in this community that were built in the late 1800's / early 1900's. It's a work in progress that started with roof line trim work in dark green. Then, the top third of the front was painted a salmon color. As I came home today I noticed that the south side had been painted a lime-ish green! Which leads me to believe the pinkish paint is some kind of wood preservation coating (?) Crews are still working.
If I were an ideologically opposed journo I would have just referred to Niggy as Sachiko throughout the article as a meta joke, but they clearly have no sense of humor.

@yogthos No concept has done more damage to our environment than the pursuit of efficiency. It has always led to a totality of greater consumption and harm. Just like with AI, where total material, energy and water use is growing at alarming rates.
The tech industry has done such incredible harms to out environment, hiding behind it mantras of efficiency, innovation and progress
@yogthos I don't think so. The initial argument was about the huge and growing water demand from Big Tech.
You cannot remove capitalism from its technologies. It was the Scientific Revolution that supercharged capitalism. First we make the tools, then the tools make us. There is no neutral tech. We are accelerating into a Sixth Mass Extinction and a global civilizational collapse because of the type of concentrated elite cultures that only modern surveillance capitalism tech could enable.
technology very obviously exists outside capitalism, and some of the most rapid advancements in technology happened in socialist countries.
The argument that technology necessarily leads to capitalism is completely baseless in nature.
Meanwhile, focusing on technology is fundamentally misguided because unless social relations change, there is no path towards any of these problems being addressed.
@yogthos I agree with you that the underlying issue is social relations. That's the whole focus of AI and social media: to individualize us and break up communities, so as to gain more control and power.
I'm reading a good bit about how Indigenous cultures approach tool / tech development. Very slow. Almost total opposite to the way the West approaches tech.
There are other ways and we need to try and find them.
that's certainly how this tech will be applied by the ruling class. However, pretending that the toothpaste can just be put back in the tube is naive.
The solution is to create community driven alternatives and wrestle control away from the oligarchs. It's the exact same thing platforms like Mastodon are doing with social media, and it's working.
It's also very telling to look at how differently this tech is developed in China compared to the west.
In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with Bloomberg’s Asia Tech Correspondent Annabelle Droulers, Alibaba Cloud Founder and Zhejiang Lab Director Wang Jian...
@yogthos I agree there is no going back. I can only see civilizational collapse coming. The question now is to prepare for what comes after, and I agree 100% that community driven alternatives are the only alternatives worth pursuing.
@efialto I completely agree, although I'd argue the rapid visible collapse of USSR was also receded by a quiet decline. Similarly, the west is in a phase of the collapse where it's not overtly visible yet. Eventually it will hit an inflection point when the collapse becomes visible and dramatic in nature.
As long as people remain brainwashed by politicians, the longer we’ll all continue to suffer. This guy clearly doesn’t see the bigger picture. And no, #bitcoin doesn’t fix your IQ! Unfortunately!
@verita84 I was in like a computer lab thing filled with kids not too long ago and every single one of them was playing Roblox. But it didn't look like Roblox. They were all playing different games inside the Roblox engine.
There was one kid playing on de_dust, but it wasn't counter-strike. It was Roblox that was skinned to look like Counter Strike.
Roblox isn't a game. It's a platform and game engine, and Roblox corp gets a cut of everything.

@scottdhansen that’s what it sounds like to me. In this case we are talking about master drawings that we are being used for inspection purposes. We are trying to develop a consistent numbering system for features/dimensions on a drawing so consistency. But to me, it sounds like a bunch of woke doublespeak. I already know where the master is kept, I’m not looking to replace it, only to be notified when there is a change to the master print for inspection purposes/updates.
Everyone has differing methods of tracking changes to drawing files and methods to promote the working copy to master. Some control this through process and others through computer system checks and balances. It's however critical for certain elements of the business from quality control / production / engineering to all be on the same page with what is being released. I could expound but would probably bore half the fedi. 🥱
I went to the funeral home to pick up my certified copies of Lisa's death certificate. I brought in Gidget, of course. One of the people working in the back office wanted to hold Gidget while I signed for the documents and Gidget didn't seem to mind too much. She obviously wanted to be near me but she was ok.
Seeing how she killed herself in black and white on the death certificate was... I don't know... unsettling. I didn't actually see any of it for which I'm extremely thankful. The person on 911 told me to go check to see if she was dead and I kept saying in a desperate voice "I can't, I can't, I can't" so I never approached her. I just saw her laying on the floor and saw a tiny bit of blood on her leg and a bright piece of paper on the dresser (we'd never have paper like that in the room where it might give her a headache). I knew none of that was right because she would never lay on the ground in a million years with her condition. So I knew in general how she did it, but I didn't know the specifics. So I'm unsettled.
Tondokument: Prof. Peter J. Brenner – Die Amtssprache ist Deutsch. Über den Sprachgebrauch im Behördenalltag
In unserer Sendung „Tondokument“ hören Sie einen Vortrag des Germanisten Prof. Peter J. #Brenner unter dem Titel: „Die #Amtssprache ist #Deutsch. Über den #Sprachgebrauch im Behördenalltag.“ Aufgenommen wurde der Vortrag am 14. Mai bei der Belegschafts- und Personalversammlung des Landratsamtes Nordhausen in Thüringen in der Aula des Herder-Gymnasiums. Eingeladen zu dem #Vortrag hatte der Personalrat des Landratsamtes. Der Vortrag thematisiert die normativen Voraussetzungen und die aktuellen Praxisprobleme in der Behördenkommunikation: Verständlichkeit und Rechtssicherheit, zunehmende #Sprachenvielfalt in der #Bevölkerung, #Gendersprache und Political #Correctness.

"y'know I'm fine with the change" well yeah of course you are idiot, you never cared about him at all until a mainstream movie covered it. people thought Superman was boring and cringe and now everyone's "hopepilled" and "feeling inspired to do better". there's no independent thoughts or analysis in people's brains.

Freispruch für Michael Ballweg – und die Lehren für Justiz, Politik und Medien
Es ist ein Urteil, das in seiner Konsequenz weit über den Angeklagten hinausreicht. Nach 43 Verhandlungstagen, fast neun Monaten #Untersuchungshaft und einer über zwei Jahre währenden öffentlichen Debatte hat das #Landgericht #Stuttgart den Gründer der #Querdenken-711-Bewegung, Michael #Ballweg, vom Hauptvorwurf „versuchter Betrug“ #freigesprochen. Gleichzeitig wurde er wegen „versuchter #Steuerhinterziehung“ verwarnt – das Strafmaß für diese Verwarnung beträgt aber nur 30 Tagessätze à 100 Euro und wird zur Bewährung ausgesetzt.
Ein Freispruch in einem #Rechtsstaat sollte eigentlich eine Selbstverständlichkeit sein. Doch die Geschichte, die zu diesem #Urteil geführt hat, wirft schwerwiegende Fragen auf – nicht nur über den Zustand der #Justiz, sondern auch über die Rolle der #Medien und das Selbstverständnis der #Politik in #Baden-Württemberg.
Just think, there are enough vacant homes in the U.S. that every homeless person could have multiple vacation homes, just like the billionaires do... except for the fact that those vacant homes are owned by those billionaires and deliberately kept vacant.
It's about time someone stood up against these right-wing religious nut jobs that have pushed censorship and other laws that have primarily benefited politicians in the name of 'protecting' LGBTQ, women, and others and can't comprehend the difference between fantasy and reality. While I'm against the use of violence there is a HUGE difference between 'violent' video games, or in this case creepy sexual fantasies and people committing actual violence. When you pass a law criminalizing thoughts your committing a VIOLENT act that isn't justifiable. Banning actual violence (without consent) is justified, but not some sickos fantasy. Just like it's not justified to ban violent video games just because some small percentage of people will commit actual violence.
They aren't "right-wing religious nut jobs". They are a group of anti-porn feminists (or as pro-porn feminists call them, "SWERFs"). The feminist movement is full of infighting which is why some feminists and LGBTQ+ rights activists are pushing back.
