A YouTube channel that discusses Missing 411 style content: people disappearing under mysterious circumstances.
A running theme in their show is that overwhelmingly the RCMP are criminally negligent in their duties, are very quick to write off missing persons as runaways, do absolute garbage tier investigation, and that’s where my comment came from.
Not necessarily a topical episode but I like this one: https://youtu.be/f7389EXjdBg
Not the first time this week an article written in that archaic newsspeak style confused the shit out of me. “Journalist shot in 2020 protests dying from injuries.”
So, are they protesting the idea of dying of injuries? Are they dying of injuries incurred in the protests from back then? A simple “is” would have clarified everything but can’t have articles in our article headers!
Anyone who’s seen Lore Lodge says that they probably should be called a terrorist organization
Endeavour is great, I daily it and as a Linux noob it’s been very forgiving. My only annoyance is that I’ve been having some issues with the display where sometimes I’ll wake it up and will only get a black screen and no means of doing anything to fix it. My laptop also really doesn’t like me using any other DEs besides Budgie.
To claim that it’s entirely environmental is to flaunt longstanding understanding on how genetics works. Nobody looks at border collies, with their high intelligence, and say “oh it’s just environment”, or chihuahuas being territorial little shits and say “oh it’s just environment”. These dogs were ENGINEERED to be this way, it’s in their bones.
Pitbulls have been specifically bred for their toughness, their aggression, their locking jaw, and because you happened to get a couple good ones doesn’t invalidate the fact that they are statistically one of the most dangerous breeds to own.
The lady across the street from us used to own a small dog, I think it passed and she recently got an XL bully. She struggles to walk it, always looks angry with the dog, it’s always barking and glaring at me and my family. I have been carrying my gun more recently because I’m waiting for the day that dog decides to try to make a meal out of my two-year-old.
Why are dognuts the way they are? Just get a fucking pom.
Doesn’t affect me since I’m on EndeavourOS and they discontinued ARM support anyway!
Milk is a super food that is only supplanted IMHO by kefir. That shit is incredible.
I get both my whole milk and kefir from local farms. One is in town, and the other is only about 15 miles away. It’s the freshest, most delicious milk I’ve ever had and I can hardly stomach the store bought stuff anymore.
Can’t decide if it’s worth the effort to search for cats or just abandon ig
Instagram is way more aggressive. I can’t search for anyone on there without being blasted with highly questionable content and softcore
I’ve been hearing about record turnout and fears of a Trump landslide, I’ve heard that Trump will fail fantastically and nobody will vote R, it’s almost like all of this polling is basically useless propaganda.
Go out and vote. Ignore the pollsters. They all said that Clinton would win in 16
Just keep cutting down trees, building more houses, pouring more concrete and consuming more media and everything will be JUST FINE
I’m downvoting this comment specifically because you decided that you had to make your long comment in a larger font just to stand out from the crowd. Very spammy, dude. I’m sure your opinions are just as worth reading without you having to put flashing lights on them.
Why would e-homework be linked to Facebook.com? What a weird thing

Don’t worry friend, I recognize that Ubuntu is not quite as far into the ethical FOSS universe as some other distros but at the very least it’s a soft landing for an uninformed new user. I plan on using it long enough to get my sea legs and use my backup PC to test other platforms.
I don’t get this kinds of comments.
Yeah, I’ve never understood people making poorly written snide comments with absolutely zero clarification, either.
professional software
I use what I want and I’m happy with the pickings. I mostly use word processors for journaling and note taking, and the professional software I use (music notation and DAWS) work just fine for my purposes. I say, if I’m content with what I’m using, why do you have to be an ass about it? I don’t care what you use and I wouldn’t land in the comments just to put you on blast for your personal choices.
Oh man no kidding! I’m using a relatively slow, large Linux OS (Ubuntu) and even it is snappy as hell compared to W10.
As a recent convert, I completely love the idea of “One week of Linux” posts or reserving switch over stories to weekly posts or something. FOSS Fridays?
It’s always a heartwarming experience seeing someone passionate about a subject enough that they’d be willing to dedicate what was likely at least twenty minutes of their own free time to writing a detailed response to a stranger on the internet.

Your explanation was very helpful in explaining the process by which the BIOS is loaded. As I’ve continued to work on Ubuntu, I’ve been trying to hammer out little errors along the way and I believe that I inadvertently identified the problem with my dual-booting situation before. Whenever I load Linux, the system will load that ubiquitous screen where it does a filesystem check, etc, and I always get two errors: (1) VMX (outside TXT) disabled…; (2) ima: error communicating with TPM. I went into the BIOS and figured out how to turn the TPM on, and when I did so… what do you know, I started boot-looping again, just as before. Apparently I’m going to have to do a bit of troubleshooting to get Linux operable with the TPM, if I care enough about it to just undo a simple error message on boot-up that has no impact on my actual computing experience. But having his TPM chip before was causing boot-looping, perhaps due to a security issue with grubx, who knows, but for the time being I’m putting it on the back-burner.
re: Musescore
I appreciate the thought, and yes Musescore has been on my periphery a good percentage of my 15 years of using notation software. Musescore is an admirable project and I’m impressed with the steps its taken in the last few updates. Frankly, this has probably been the fourth or fifth time now that someone has hocked Musescore as a FOSS alternative to Finale, and while I get it, they are not truly one-to-one in compatibility, at least not yet. Finale is a boutique program, designed for professional use and it’s very feature-rich, especially as one gets into more specialized concerns in terms of unusual notations, etc. Finale works just fine on my system and I don’t intend on changing away from it anytime soon. I’ve been using it for so many years, it’s like second-nature to me. I couldn’t imagine dropping a software I spent hundreds of dollars on now for something else if I still get great mileage out of it.
re: Arch Linux
Following the last time you and I communicated, I actually saw a video from SomeOrdinaryGamers where Muta did a step-by-step installation of Arch on a new machine. It certainly seems more complex than Ubuntu, but at the same time, boy does it give you a rich experience in learning the intricacies of your system and how everything functions together. I am definitely going to be keeping Ubuntu on my main system for the time being, but I do have a blank ZBook15 gen 2 (I believe it has Mint on it right now? I haven’t opened it in a few months…) and I might have a go at installing Arch on it and messing around for a while.
My current project is going to be taking my secondary HDD, which is only a storage device now, and configuring its file structure to be easier to use with Linux, as well as clearing out all the legacy OS files from when it used to have Windows on it. I’ve been having trouble using utilities like rm -rf because for some reason, some files will delete with no issue, but then others will actually cause the drive to crash in some spectacular fashion, and I have to sudo umount -l then remount again with ntfs-3g just to get back to it. I can’t tell if its a permissions issue or something else. I know the drive is old and there are four damaged sectors, but the most recent SMART test didn’t seem to throw up any major red flags. I can delete individual problem files, but trying to delete a bulk quantity runs into issues at times. It’s weird. I don’t exactly want to format the drive because there’s ~0.9TB of personal files on there (that are all backed up both on a cloud service and an external SSD, no worries!), but so far I’m having fun learning some new commands.
Sporadically means more like, “At Infrequent but random intervals”
