Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.

You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I’m sure you can run it on anything.

I had to go back to check…

Also Joker makeup.

Your phone’s email app is a client, but I digress… I hate using the browser to access emails. I use many different email accounts with multiple email providers to compartmentalize my emails and avoid spam. I used Thunderbird for years before switching to Geary and now back to Thunderbird.

My first time trying to get my mother to switch from Windows to a Linux based OS wasn’t successful because there was too much friction and inconvenience for her, and she wasn’t willing to even entertain the idea of Linux for years after that. My second attempt was successful because Linux is much more user friendly than it used to be 13 years ago, and I changed my approach to make it as frictionless as possible.

Firefox just set to block 3rd party cookies + some basic extensions like adblocking and some easy privacy stuff is a good way to go about it, because it’s better than what she used previously and it doesn’t become inconvenient to her. She doesn’t know what an operating system is, or what cookies are… She just uses the computer to browse the web, emails, and light office work. She even says she prefers the current setup (though that’s because her old computer was chugging with Windows and runs smoothly now with a less bloated OS)

No need for noscript, deleting cookies, fingerprinting, or user agent stuff… Only introduce these to them if they express interest in privacy and are interested in learning more. If you try to thrust it upon them too suddenly they will just think “Linux isn’t a good user experience and is only good for tech enthusiasts and programmers”.

I only used it to follow some artists I like, that’s it.

I stopped using it when squacker stopped working, though I don’t think I’m in that statistic because I never had a twitter account.

Exactly. And Linux already has a lot of ARM support… The question is, will Qualcomm’s instruction-set translation system be available to non-windows users or not. It’s possible they have a deal with Microsoft (like the chip will initially be exclusive to Surface devices, and only later be available to other hardware vendors like AMD giving Lenovo first dibs on their big workstations CPU’s) and work together to do it, and then it would mean that x86 emulation on Linux would take longer to catch up, but if they make it available, this could be really cool.

Either way, if the hardware exists, you can run Linux on it. You can even run Linux on Apple Silicon thanks to Asahi Linux, it’s amazing how fast they are progressing to a quite usable machine with zero help from Apple (I don’t have one but one of my buddies is using it on his Mac mini).

Also, I want this chip on a smaller version of the steam deck to basically run a Switch sized system with a decent battery life.

This is very exciting. I would love to have an Arm laptop with 20 hours of battery life that would compete with Apple Silicon.

Classic CNIDA…

Instructions unclear; bought a friend on eBay…

I’m sorry to hear that, and I hope you can interact with the positive people in your life more while establishing boundaries with the worst ones if not avoiding them all together. Also, hope you manage to add new supportive people into your circle.

Is your wife Italian?

Transintolerant people don’t care about the wellbeing of trans people because they don’t see them as people in a similar way racists don’t see minorities as people. The transintolerant people in your life delude themselves into thinking they are helping by trying to convince you not to transition because they subconsciously believe you will lose your humanity once you transition. This is the same reason gay kids were subjected to punishment by their homointolerant parents including literal torture, because the parents believe that being gay makes you less of a human and they think they are saving your humanity.

If you’re an adult, they have less power over you, and it’s perfectly reasonable to distance yourself from them, or cut off contact entirely for your own well being.

As a cis guy, I may never know what it feels like to come to such a realisation, but I can empathise and support my friends who go through with this kind of experience, and I believe that it is the duty of people like myself who are in a better place to support the ones who aren’t by both directly supporting trans people emotionally and also to attempt to educate transintolerant people to be more accepting.

At least now you know what has been eating you for so long. Like Morpheus said to Neo in the movie The Matrix:

Neo: I can’t go back, can I? Morpheus: No. But if you could, would you really want to?

You can’t unlearn it, it would only hurt you more trying to pretend like nothing has changed. I hope the people in your life will support you through this.

Right, Mr “Free Speech Absolutist” who bans critics of his and cries about it like a little kid.

She threatened legal action against a guy who made a website that tracks her private jets’ flights using publicly available information and the internet doesn’t like it.

Tell me more about the Soviet Onion.

Wasn’t there a plugin that does that?
