That’s really interesting. I wonder how voting works (or doesn’t) for US researchers in remote parts of the world, like McMurdo station?

Estrogen, yes. Trans guys are fucked if we’ve got to order testosterone off the internet.
The elites don’t want you to know this but the geese at the park are free you can take them home I have 458 geese
I was in class when the debate happened, and too much Trump is exhausting - I’m watching the Daily Show recap right now. Something I’ve noticed is that somebody actually did Trump’s makeup correctly for the debate, he didn’t look like an Oompa Loompa for once.
Ooh, a choco taco is way better than a sticker!
(Sadly, the Choco Taco was discontinued a couple years ago.)
Abolish the corn welfare system. 95% of corn is not grown for human consumption. Let’s grow more of our own food.
Uh… I am not opposed to this, as a vegetarian, but… uh… the logical conclusion of this policy would be extremely unpopular. The corn that’s not for human consumption is used in industrial and manufactured products (and ethanol, which is something we actually should get rid of, it just doesn’t make sense as a product) and in livestock feed lots. If you stop subsidizing corn, meat gets more expensive.
I’m just glad it’s not Tubgirl.
I’m going to disagree with you on the “is Mac better than Windows” front - I think there’s good arguments either way though. At least with a Mac, the end user is still, mostly, who they are designing for. On Windows the end user is becoming the product.
Another Jak and Daxter could be awesome, but I was so thoroughly disappointed in the Crash Team Racing remaster a few years ago it has basically made me give up hope that nostalgia-based games can be more than cash grabs.
Are bean memes wholesome?
We’d get Jesse Ventura out campaigning for Harris/Walz if Hulk got swapped in, and I think he can talk effectively to the brain worm demographic. Would be funny for the rest of the country to learn even more about Minnesota politics, and Jesse is the “yeah, so?” kinda weird.
Some of them killed Nazis, which is pretty based.
Yeah but that broke GRUB and had a pretty specific error message associated with it. I don’t think problems with grub look like what OP is describing (although I don’t know enough to say for sure).
Anecdotally, I’m running a Fedora Atomic-based OS alongside Windows and that Windows update didn’t cause any problems for me.
Well, at least you’re forcing people to pace themselves.
Got an extra USB stick and an old laptop kicking around you’re okay with wiping? Ideally 4GB RAM but 2GB would be okay. Start with Linux Mint and follow their installation guide - verifying the ISO image in Windows is probably the toughest part.
Or make absolutely certain you’re on the official Mint website, torrent it and don’t bother checking, I’m not your mother. “Who the f**k checks those anyway?” (Mint hasn’t been hacked since, but it’s part of why they’re pushing verifying, they know that their users have been targeted before. Also if something goes wrong with the download the install will fail and you’ll waste more time than if you just checked.)
If you don’t have a spare computer, a live USB can let you try Linux without making changes to your computer, but it’s going to be slow - a proper install is going to be a much nicer experience. If you’re okay without persistence (ie you can’t change anything or install additional programs for the next time you boot into it), just follow the Linux Mint website’s installation guide and stop before the actual install step. For persistence, try this method instead, but you really don’t want to use it long term, USB sticks aren’t designed for this.
Once you’ve tried it live and you think you like the desktop environment, but if you’re not sure you’re ready to fully commit, if your computer has an extra slot for an SSD you could buy a second one and dual boot, that’s what I did. (Dual booting on the same drive is doable but more of a headache, and even on a different drive Windows doesn’t always play nicely.)
Bazzite, it’s based on immutable Fedora. But it made sense for my use case because it’s one of the more consistent at working out of the box with Nvidia graphics cards and I wanted the gaming stuff, but Plasma should be more or less the same everywhere. I’m not sure which version of Plasma it’s running but Bazzite is generally pretty up to date with everything but I can’t check right now.
Windows 10 is being supported until next October, you’ve got more than a month. That said, I’ve been on Linux for just over a month and I’m so much happier with it. I really like KDE Plasma as a desktop environment. I made the leap because I was unhappy with Windows, but at this point I genuinely prefer Linux.
How’d that Windows update go? Did it break your grub?
