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

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
The insane pricing creating a miserable push to do all the things is basically the entire Disney experience for families. I used to work in one of the parks, and people were exhausted and burnt out trying to do everything, and my advice to people visiting the parks was always “don’t try to do everything, try to pick some of it and enjoy what you do”.
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 went there on a field trip through my community college. The museum was amazing, definitely worth the trip if you’re in Florida.
Oh big time. I’m a transgender man and it was very noticable for a while when my body odor changed.
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?
I did not know what that link contained when I clicked it. And I am incredibly disappointed that it is neither a link to a porn site nor a Rickroll. You’re failing to live up to your username today, SatansMaggotyCumFart, I expected more from you.
(Thanks for the deets, the name of that porn alone is hilarious.)
I’ve been really interested in the PineTime, for the price point it seems like a neat little gadget. I’ve never had a smartwatch and I’d want something cheap to see if I like it, and with the PineTime I know it’s going to be less sketchy than anything else at that price point.
But everything I’ve read implies it’s not really a polished product yet. I’m really curious where it’s at and I’m perfectly fine with some garden variety FOSS jank but how much are we talking here?
There’s an article from this spring’s 2600 magazine that claims it’s all Bing results. I haven’t dug through their Python code and I’m definitely no expert anyway, but I’d also prefer not to post an article from a small independent magazine like that to let the people on Lemmy who do know more than me take a look.
In some states, it’s even better than that - there is no checkbox at the DMV, they just automatically register you to vote if you’re eligible and it’s a whole process to not register. My anarchist never-voting roommate was so salty when the DMV automatically registered her to vote.
Also we have day-of voter registration that you don’t even need a current ID to do, the list of accepted documents is pretty good, and if you don’t have one of those documents sometime who is already registered can vouch for you (of course, you can get into trouble if you vouch for someone who is not supposed to be voting).
Minnesota is very proud of our best in the nation voter turnout.
Be the change, post! Right now most of the posts in any given community are from a handful of really active people. They’re posting what they want to see or what they think everyone else wants to see. More posters and more diversity is a good thing.
I thought blocks were one way - you can’t see anything from the person you blocked, but they can still see your stuff?
