Chromebooks have a special bios, it works with a chip on the motherboard to detect if chromeos is running or if some unverified os is running. If chromeos isn't running, it displays a warning message on boot. This behavior cannot be disabled.

You can; however it will always show a message that leaves you a keypress away from nuking your system on boot

I still use Firefox; their bullshit is less egregious than Chrome's and they are Chrome's only challenger. The ai features don't even come in to play unless you actually choose to use them.

This tracks; aws offers Ubuntu workspaces for their managed directory service since a couple years ago

This is very flawed. Israel, USA, and UAE deserve to be at the bottom of the list because they facilitate genocide, and USA is responsible for hundreds of millions of murders globally.

It's a great distro. You don't have to compile; lots of packages are available as binaries, but having the option to compile the latest version of things is cool. Definitely worth a try, especially if you were using arch before.

Huh, I mostly use apvlv and mupdf. They are command line binaries but they have a gui; I don't really see a point in looking at a PDF with something other than a gui.

I'm guessing the connection is that song by ace of base, "all that she wants is another baby".

I haven't tried fedora in a few years, but every time I have tried it, the installer failed in some way.

Opensuse tumbleweed, kubuntu. Both solid options for you. Bear in mind bazzite is an immutable distro and as such, it is not very customizable.

A bunch of small wins at work, so that's nice. A bunch of anti-human behavior from the disgusting ghouls who run things, so that sucks.

You need to update yt-dlp, ie:

        pip3 install -U yt-dlp


  

But first you probably need to install an updated python version; the latest yt-dlp needs at least python 3.10 iirc

God dammit the DNC pisses me off. Why can't they act like human beings for just five fucking minutes.

The 1907 comic strip Little Nemo: Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend was about a little kid who ate cheese on toast before bed having vivid and strange dreams

Arcadium 3: Space Odyssey - I've been playing the phone version. It's a horde fighting survival game set in space - you pilot a spaceship to harvest planets, buy items, and fight aliens to level up, unlock missions and ships, and acquire artifacts to help you survive better. The developer has 2 other space themed arcade games.

Practically speaking all open source software is communist, insofar as the capital, which in the case of software would be the source code and the means to build and deploy it, is available to anyone with the wherewithal to use it.

I have a cheap brother USB printer, the HL-L2300D. I got it for $80 refurbished. I get wifi printing with my phone through cups on my attached computer. You do need to install the ppd files from brother for optimal performance iirc.

Then it is working. That is what that code was checking for.

Specifically, -n checks if the variable exists and also does not have a null value.

If you want to reverse it, ie, check that those conditions are not true, put an exclamation mark in front of the whole thing.

You need to reference the value of the variable, ie:

 bash

    
if [[ -n "$VARIABLE1" && -n "$VARIABLE2" ]]; then
    echo "OK"
fi
