The female presenting character on the right says that the male presenting one on the left becomes her in the future, and is gay. When he says he ‘likes girls’ she agrees, because a trans woman who likes women would be considered gay.

There are some assumptions I’m making , but I believe this is the intended meaning.

From what I’m reading, autoclean would remove any local packages which couldn’t be download (i.e. they are out of date). This would indeed fix the issue, but your packages could still be missing critical udpates.

When possible you should definitely run ‘sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade’ to get the latest stuff installed. If it says you’re up to date then that’s awesome and no further action is needed.

This is almost always the issue. Apt is not like yum and pacman, you must first run apt update or it will inevitably fall out of sync with the current packages when you try to run install or upgrade, etc.

Yah, left in 2024.

In DNS and all Unix style host resolution generally (documentation on the file /etc/resolv.conf details this), all clients have a domain search list, usually set by your DHCP server, which for Google owned computers is obvs google.com, but it can be several domains.

All they need is to set up an A record for go.google.com (its more likely googleplex.com) which runs a link shortener/expander site, and their employees can use the shorthand form of go/linkname for it to be expanded for them in their browser.

They could also set an entry in every corporate computer’s local hosts file for ‘go’, and deploy it automatically using ansible, chef, etc. Or configure it in the company wide HTTP(S) proxy that all clients are configure to use. I forget now which method it is, and there are of course many other ways to do it than these.

Anyway go/linkname is a huge part of their culture as mentioned by the other commenter, and I was also triggered seeing it.

I have indeed seen that XO-CE script. But is it true that you have to delete and recreate the container, rather than just doing apt update? AFAIK XO_CE is just a debian VM.

Put single quotes around the URL.

? and & are special characters, and the shell will think you meant something unintended if you dont protect them.

This is a bit of a hack, but while you wait for a new drive or laptop, you could install Linux onto a thumb drive and run it from there.

When you use Rufus to write the image to the flash drive, it should give you the option to create a persistent storage section with a slider to say how much of the drive to allocate to that. At least this should keep Microsoft from destroying the data on it, lthough it will probably ask every time it starts up whether you want to format that drive.

This way you can just use whatever your BIOS boot key is, probably something like F12, to boot onto your Linux and keep it away from Microsoft :)

These replies are mega cope. It’s not slightly incorrect, just incorrect or very lazy. It’s mentally exhausting to try and read this way, and they do not capitalize beginning of their ‘sentences’, nor ‘I’, etc.

Writing in this way does not make one come off as the next e. e. cummings, they just look very uneducated.

“Turns out we’re both teachers.” Posts a 90 word run on sentence.

We are all doomed.

Bitcoin is basically only mined via ASICs now. You can still mine something like ETC but honestly chains have (rightfully) been moving to far more efficient consensus using Proof of Stake.

For the amount of electricity you would need to mine a meaningful amount of BTC, you’d be much better off buying spending $50 or $100 worth of BTC or ETH every week. Either hodl or DCA sell when prices bounce up.

This is a fantastic creator, very happy to be supporting them on Patreon. I think this might even be hotter than the nude version.

Yes you’ll fuck things up. Don’t keep anything remotely important on it and screw around with it. That’s how you learn. Blow your install away intentionally, try a different distribution the next time. There’s a lot more variability between distros, and more customizability compared to Windows too.

If you want to learn something new and different anyway. It’s definitely not like Windows except at the most surface level; you can get by in the GUI for almost everything until something goes wrong, but that’s exactly when you want to have been learning cmdline stuff, so you can try to salvage it.

I was looking for a smaller (14" and not bulky) gaming Laptop, and ended up with the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X. And I’m very happy with it; feels fairly future proof with 32GB of Ram and runs NixOS like a champ.

Only has a GTX 3050 though, so it’s not for the highest end gaming, but that’s never been my priority anyway, it runs BG3 quite well and that’s the beefiest thing I’ve thrown at it.

As mentioned, Minisforum and Beelink make great APU-based Ryzen systems which are going to give a great bang-for-buck. Get them from Amazon vs their dedicated website as some folks have had shipping delqys with the OEM website. ETA Prime does great reviews on YouTube of these boxes and shows what the FPS is like on some current, a few years old, and retro games for each one.

If you want the smallest possible system, with room for one the smaller form factor discrete graphics cards I’d say the NUC 9 Extreme works very well. I have a GTX 1650 in it and it is perfectly fine.

Steam Deck with a usb c dock is also a great option.

Funny how “muh freedom” means you should be able to not wear a mask, but others should be disallowed from wearing masks, even if they have actual safety or health concerns. Very consistent.
