Well I guess we now know whether we have kept the republic as Franklin warned. The answer is no, we have just lost it.

And look at that, AOC turns 35 in October (minimum age for presidency)! If only half of this country wouldn’t see her rise to such a stage as some affront to their white misogynistic identity, we could actually see real progress take shape.

But yeah, Biden should not have ran and should have let someone younger and more cognitively astute in-the-moment take the stage. He’s probably a good person and probably a good family patriarch, but he is past the point of needing to step down.

I mean, we do have recourse — Congress — who have the power of impeachment. The problem is that they are spineless and won’t get rid of the three lying pieces of shit that Trump got confirmed.

I’m so, so sorry.

The installer is garbage in my opinion. But aside from that, the distro is probably fine.

I’m one of those users :)

Well-deserved, I’m sure.

Awarded to an institution or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial acceptance, or both.

A little curious of why Torvalds hasn’t been a recipient of this award. He has two quite notable pieces of software that has lasting influence and enormous commercial acceptance.

No.

Hmm, yeah my PC is about 2-3 years old now and it booted just fine. If normal Arch can boot (EFI ideally), then Garuda should be good.

Congress is the authority over federal judges with respect to impeachment and trial. Since Congress is spineless, nothing will be done.

Everything said in that article makes me very happy to have switched to Firefox.

Google can dress this up all they want, but a happy byproduct of this (for them) is that they can now purposefully ignore rules/filtering for their own sites, such as youtube, since it puts the real control of such filtering with the browser (and the company who created it) instead of the extension. Yes there is a trust concern with extensions. And yes, there is a performance hit with extensions vetting each network call. But that’s the price we, as the user, should continue to have the power to choose to pay, but Google is forcing us to go their way.

Thanks Mozilla, for providing user choice.

GloriousEggroll among a few others, and Valve of course, are the main reasons Linux gaming is now effectively solved (aside from anti-cheats where there’s nothing to do if some developers don't want to support Linux).

I haven’t yet watched the video, but I agree I’ve not needed to use Steam beta at all. While it’s around 70% of tracked games being labeled Gold or higher on protondb, I have found that with proton-ge, 100% of the games I’ve tried have worked without issue (on the order of 30ish games thus far).

I won’t be going back to Windows, ever. So it kinda stinks that some devs just won’t support Linux for anti-cheat (like Lost Ark, etc). But it’s a price I’m willing to pay to not be spied on.

I’ve done my part!

I'm sorry you're having to deal with that -- especially for a technology we'd all like to see in that space to provide good competition to the main two. Thanks for your efforts to push that forward!

I feel that pain, but probably not to the same degree. I've backed over 300 campaigns on Kickstarter and Gamefound. I've had around 8 that didn't fulfill and didn't give a refund -- somewhere in the vicinity of $500-800 worth overall. It's maddening when it feels like our money was either stolen or at best, wasted.

Yeah in my 25 years of experience, none of them have ever done that.

Ventoy is great as others have said, and probably would do what you want since it has its own installer and is its own bootloader, and can boot isos loaded on the USB drive.

If you want something that works, in my experience, as well as Rufus, maybe take a look at Balena Etcher, too.

We’ve all done stupid stuff like this. The trick is to pad time into estimates to account for it :D

No. Stop. Think of the C-suite’s golden parachutes. Whatever shall we do.
