the day there’s a widespread apt or pacman hidden malware

You mean like all the recent exploits on the AUR? It's already happening. Digital hygiene is a responsibility that many don't take seriously.

The word is “kidnapped.” Not vanished, not disappeared. Kidnapped.

Language matters. Stop reporting falsities via soft language.

Get out of the way and let us get what we have coming

Say no more fam.

I’m not.

We live in a society and enjoy or use services that benefit all. Schools, roads, infrastructure, etc. all need to be paid for. I have no problem paying for taxes to do my part, and have never had a desire to avoid that responsibility. I live in a society. It benefits me, and I pay back into it, just as everyone should.

I have a problem with the people who have the most to give not doing so. They’re leeching off society without giving back to it.

Give me more of this and less of the politics. This is what I come to Lemmy for.

Wrong community. This is for shitposts, not depressing factual information.

This is freaking awesome. Only a few years ago it was exciting to see a fusion reaction last a fraction of a second.

Hah, guess they're gonna have to run Linux. Windows 11 would choke on 8 GB RAM.

Good point, but it looks like it's still ongoing.

Important Edit

The information below applies to emergency mode boot when grub is intact but OS isn’t booting. It doesn’t apply to grub rescue. Sorry about that folks, I screwed up here and don’t wanna misinform.

—————-

Protip: If you see this error, press”e” on grub boot to edit your commands and add the following to the end of the kernel line in grub:

fsck.repair=yes

Then boot.

Fixes the issue like 90% of the time.

I know this is a meme, but shit like this is why I allow wild growth on my property. First year I owned my home the ground got muddy as hell from the new build since the ground was all dug up and tilled.

From the second year on I’ve only mowed a path for my driveway and the front walkway and the rest grows wild. Sweetgrass and other native plants anywhere from like 1 to 3 feet tall and the area is high desert (Colorado) so the “weeds” suck up any moisture they can get, no flood, no mud. It’s great. I’ll never understand MFers in the rurals curating lawns.

Plus, it looks nice, and the deer in the area seem to like it as well.

Damn, I’ll have to keep not subscribing!

I live in a rural area over 30 miles from the nearest city in a town with a population in the low thousands. The nearest place I can get any goods is over 4 miles away. I’d be completely fucked without a car.

I know that’s not everyone’s situation, but just pointing out there are people living in remote places with no other transportation options.

I had to check the community and link, because I could believe he would say something like this.

90s/early 2000s Civics were great. Comfortable ride and well maintainable. WTF is mom on about here, an ‘04 Civic is a great car.

My senior class in high school, the French and History teachers got together to plan a senior trip to Canada post-graduation, with stops in Montreal and Quebec. They let us have beers (on our own dime) if we wanted since the drinking age up there was 18, and one of my history teachers even offered a few of us Cuban cigars the last night of the trip since there was no embargo in Canada but we couldn't cross back into the US with them. Was a pretty good time.

We were warned the Quebecois could be kinda douchey to non-native speakers, but I found the whole trip was pretty chill, and as long as you were at least trying to speak French to them, they were more than accommodating for directions and help. Was a really memorable trip, 20+ years later still a very fond memory. Good teachers are great.

The fact this is even necessary makes me want to shit a brick.

"Do you want to make an online account?" No. "Okay, please set up your local account."

That should be it. And honestly, even that's egregious to me. Signing into online bullshit should be opt-in, not opt-out. Thank goodness I don't use Windows anymore, finally wiped the last Windows machine in my house this past week.

Yeah, don’t accept trash from strangers.
