…and?

Their country. Their rules.

I seem to remember seeing other stories like this about Jan 6 rioters and child porn. WTF is wrong with people?

My server is Debian. My desktop and laptops are all Garuda Linux.

Pete Hegseth is a fucking war criminal and he fucking better be prosecuted for this.

Not advocating violence, but shit like this is going to lead to violence.

I’ve had great success with Garuda Linux. I’m running the KDE “Mokka” version.

It’s quite opinionated, so be aware of that, but it’s been very reliable on my HP laptop (it even has hibernation support!) and the built-in apps are top notch.

Just be aware that Arch-based distros tend to shun things like Flatpaks in favor of their own repositories and the Arch User Repository (AUR), and there aren’t any friendly point and click app stores like KDE Discover or GNOME Software. You will have to install apps using the command line or tools like Octopi, which is great if you know exactly what you’re looking for, but terrible for app discovery.

Since I mostly use Flatpaks, I installed Bazaar. You can install Discover, but it only works for Flatpak.

I used to run Manjaro, but after it left two of my computers in an unbootable state after an upgrade a few years ago, I moved on.

Nothing inspires curiosity more than making something forbidden.

That kid is gonna find out ALL KINDS of information that his dad doesn’t want him to know about from his peers. Some of it good, most of it inaccurate, but you go ahead, dad.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I’m just parroting what the dishwasher repair guy told me.

Occasional cleaning in the dishwasher is probably fine, as long as it’s occasional. Dishwasher detergent contains enzymes that eat away at the food on your dishes. Just be sure and do it with a full load of dirty dishes, otherwise those enzymes will start eating away at whatever else is in the dishwasher. 

It’s why if you read the manual of your dishwasher, it will usually tell you to not rinse your dishes before putting them inside. Those enzymes need something to work on, and if there is no food for them to munch on, they will start munching on your glasses and dishes, dulling their finish. 

Pirate Santa Rap.

Someone please do this, and do it FOR REAL - none of that AI slop.

They want to keep it because it’s a double recursive acronym, GNU Image Manipulation Program, where “GNU” translates to “GNU’s Not UNIX.”

So clever.

It’s 2026. Can we please change the name to something NOT juvenile?

This is just e-waste. Please don’t buy this. The resolution is 480p. Spend a few dollars more and get something you will actually KEEP.

My very first PC (though not my first computer) was a white box 386SX running at a lofty 16MHz with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB HDD. The motherboard (which I still have) from an unknown manufacturer.

That single computer spawned a hobby and an eventual 28-year career in IT hardware and operating systems.

If you enter it in at boot time it’s not permanent, so it’ll either work or it won’t, but it shouldn’t break anything.

Mine is ‘HoloNet’, but it’s kind of a deep cut unless you’re really into Star Wars.

So it looks like the touchpad problem is a known issue with that particular model. A web search turned up an Arch Linux forum post from 2017 with the same issue. Unfortunately, there was no solution posted.

Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right? I have a ThinkPad A475 with a PS/2 trackpad that won’t function at all in Linux unless I add i8042.reset as a GRUB argument.

Maybe see if that helps?

And that’s why I don’t use PPAs, but you do you, I guess…

They’re heeeeeere!

Inviting world leaders to check out his merch store.

This is what has become of America.

Fuck Netanyahu in the ass with a smart bomb.

Genocide through bombardment is the same as genocide through a gas chamber.

Fuck Israel. “Never again,” my ass.
