Eventually switch to every day but that's a great starting place.

The way somebody is socialized and raised isn't inextricably linked with their sex. Also, intersex people are routinely assigned a gender, although thankfully that's changing.

Fantastic news. I definitely have to go AMD next time I upgrade my GPU.

Funniest gaming news in a while! But I imagine it's a welcome feature for players.

You could be a bit kinder about this software project developed and hosted for free by volunteers.

A bit of advice: expect experimental and early development software to break every so often.

This isn't niche at all, but gbatemp is fantastic. Lots of emulation, modding, romhacking, general gaming discission, etc.

But that's a live environment that doesn't save anything you install, right? That's not what I want.

Seasons 1-3 are on the private tracker I use, torrentleech.org

If you're desperate you could pay for a seedbox membership to get a "free" invite. You must not cancel in the first month or they will ban you afterwards.

Edit: I just did a search on Yandex and found a few promising results. Search for something like "departures torrent travel show"

I buy CDs and encode them myself with Lame or buy from Bandcamp. They live on my computer and I add them to my phone as desired. I also have spotify because tbh you can't buy everything.

I used to use Google music for streaming my own files, but they put that into YouTube Music. I can still stream the files I uploaded using the YT music app but it's clearly not the main intended purpose of the app.

Pros: Good selection, direct access to a few scene groups (scene groups upload mostly on private trackers and these are leaked to public ones systematically), a base level of trust that long time uploaders won't upload viruses, fast download speeds.

Cons: most have requirements on keeping your ratio high which is hard to do if you don't have good upload bandwidth, there may also be a requirement to seed torrents for 10 full days (total, not consecutive) if you can't get to a 1.0 ratio on a given torrent. Your account can be deleted for inactivity.

There are some sites with a freeleech tag which means that downloads tagged with that don't harm your ratio but seeding helps your ratio. In the one I use, you still have to seed for the 10 days. In my experience, because I don't have a seedbox or a good up connection, I rarely can successfully seed at all to build ratio so I am somewhat limited in what I can actually download (only torrents larger than 14 GB or a box set) without throwing my ratio in the toilet.

I could pay for a seedbox or a premium membership to fix this.

Well it's all just shitty and confusing because each state has its own laws that are constantly being activated, passed by state congress, and temporarily or permanently being struck down by state or federal judges and maybe reinstated by other judges higher up. It's quite hard to keep track of for the average person.

Many women are refusing to take jobs in anti-abortion states. It is generally recognized that states can't prevent people from traveling to receive medical care, but that hasn't stopped the craziest republicans from trying to pass unconstitutional laws.

Abortion by medication still hasn't been successfully outlawed, so that is a possible option almost everywhere if you get telehealth services. However a judge in Florida tried to revoke a popular drug's FDA (food & drug administration) approval unilaterally which was a blatant power grab.

There have been an increase of news stories about women forced to endure terrible denials of medical care. All national elections since the Roe V Wade overturning have seen republicans underperform. Especially if there is an abortion rights referendum (direct democracy) on the ballot. But not all states allow referendums, and even if they do, a petition is required first. Most states are relatively close to another state where abortion is allowed, but not everyone can afford to travel.

In some states, hospitals or women's health centers close altogether because of the unclear regulatory environment makes it hard to know what will get them in trouble. I see a story like that every month or two.

Yeah, I booted a live usb installer for Ubuntu with budgie (I created this by writing the Ubuntu ISO to a 32 GB USB drive using Rufus). Then I booted from the Live USB and chose another USB 64 GB drive to install to. It seemed to take quite a long time (all night) but the installer was showing a prompt to restart and a completed message when i woke up.

I actually was never able to boot from the new Ubuntu install other than using the target USB drive's bootloader to boot into my old Linux Mint on another drive.

The Linux Mint kernel was listed on the Ubuntu Grub menu along with Ubuntu and Ubuntu Recovery and I was able to select Mint and successfully boot to Mint. After installing Ubuntu, when trying to boot from my Mint drive without the Target Ubuntu USB connected, it gave an empty Grub prompt.

From there I ran timeshift to restore the old bootloader and everything else.

The reason I'm fairly certain it was a new boot loader is that it had a gray background where my old one had a black background.

I have Windows on a 1 TB NVME, Mint on a 200 GB SSD, and a 1 TB data HDD, as well as the 32 GB USB live stick and the second 64 GB which I chose as the target to install to. Because the sizes are all different, I think it was unlikely that I chose the wrong disk to target, as I double checked the name and size was correct.

Right now, I don't need help fixing it Windows and Mint are as I want them after a Timeshift restore. I just want to know how not to ruin my old Mint Grub next time I install a second Linux on USB.

Edit: switched around to match chronological order. To clarify, when I say "target usb" I am referring to the 64 gb usb I installed to from the Live environment.

I just checked and it's not on my private tracker.

I don't understand how anybody could see this market consolidation as a positive! Yes, in the short term ABK games will be added to Game Pass, but once Game Pass is the only "game" in town, the price gouging monopolistic behavior will follow.

With the stroke of a pen any of these people could prevent tens of thousands of deaths from malaria or tuberculosis with zero change to their quality of life. That's why their wealth is disgusting.

Their customers had infinite money to spend and they still didn't build a top of the line submarine. Absolutely deserving of a Darwin Award.

I had wrist pain typing only once. It was when I played a typing game for hours one time.

You might want to try one now that you have an ergonomic keyboard. It can help your typing speed. Just limit to an hour or two at a time 😅

I get results searching for peertube on DDG.

Have you ever tried SearxNG? It's a foss meta-search engine that anyone can host an instance of, or you can use some one else's instance.

Stupid question but can you swap the cables on one end?

I've never has thai coffee before! The flavor notes sound delicious.
