As a Minnesotan I’d like to point out that Walz really isn’t a progressive, however, like Biden, he’s repeatedly shown a willingness to welcome everyone to the table, and (generally) not stand in the way of progressive legislation, even when he personally doesn’t agree, so definitely not the worst choice. But I say double down on minority women, nominate lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan instead, let’s get the first native woman in the White House!

I actually switched to Ubuntu full-time way back in 2006 when I went back to school (anthro major), specifically to help me focus when using my computer and not get distracted by playing video games. Of course, nowadays with wine and proton on steam, that might not be as effective. But it worked well for me, never experienced any issues with word docs opening in libre office (or rather open office back then) or vice versa. There was once or twice where I had to use a computer in the lab in the library to run some niche program or another for an assignment, but not a big deal.

we’ve been weakening in that regard over the last decade

That’s the thing, we really haven’t. 2016 got a lot of press because Trump lost by the narrowest margin since Bush vs Gore, but if you look at the actual vote totals, Trump didn’t do any better than the last 4 Republicans, slightly worse than Romney and Bush in 2004, in fact. The only reason it was as close as it was was due to the terrible turnout by Dems for Hillary in 2016. 2020 results were back in line with the norm, with Biden winning by 7+ points. So don’t believe the media’s click bait hype, Minnesota is not and never was in play. (Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t need to vote, and don’t forget the down ballot races, which are arguably more important. And have you all voted in your primary yet? Early voting is open, election day is August 13th)

Alternate perspective: Minnesota’s new Uber and Lyft law just cements their duopoly in place

Wait, so he’s admitting hunter’s laptop is a hoax? Or is his ephedrine addled brain having trouble keeping track of all of the lies?

The fuck is the “laptop from hell”?

This dude’s train of thought is, “my constituents are fucking morons, they’ll eat this shit up!”

You mean the ones where all the comments say [deleted]?

Xcrement

I had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.

On Android, I use Feeder and Nunti. Both are open source and available on f-droid.

What version? I had a similar issue, but it was fixed when I updated to 0.55.

It’s so laughably dumb, and has absolutely nothing to do with the franchise, clearly just a money grab. I just have zero interest in the whole psycho killer chasing screaming girl genre in general, so it amuses me to see a sequel so off the mark. And I’m an old mst3k fan, so I appreciate a quality bad movie.

I still say Halloween 3 is the only movie in the franchise worth watching. Fight me.

Could it be a connectivity check for captive portals?

Crack a window, Willy

I’d suggest checking out the official installation instructions linked at the top of the mint homepage. They’re pretty good.

I feel like Friedkin is underrated as a director, he’s done some great movies even apart from the big ones (The Exorcist, The French Connection). Cruising, To Live and Die in LA, Bug, Sorcerer.

Wages of Fear is one of my all time favorites, and while Sorcerer isn’t as good, it’s still worth watching. I’ve driven down some hairy unmaintained logging roads for work, so I always get excited when I see someone make bad driving decisions that they have no choice but to commit to. Can’t back up the hill, no room to turn around, guess we’re going over the bridge, guys!

I don’t believe that’s possible, the best you can do is foss apps with android auto compatibly. The only one that shows up as an option for me on my phone is VLC, but I’m sure there are at least a few others. Someone on the fossandroid community said osmand works with it earlier today, but I don’t remember seeing it show up as an option (but that was with a rental car a year ago, things may have changed.)

I think that’s a bug, and doesn’t mean anything. Unless there’s a new bug I’m unaware of, which is completely possible.
