Lmao the image of a coyote with a belt of iPhones around its belly and a laser mounted on a rotating turret on its back chasing the dot across the border is quite something.

Am I still going crazy or what, trade deficit =/= tariffs right??

Yeah, Adobe sucks major ass but while I’ve been meticulous for quite a few years to choose software that’s either FOSS or at least had native Linux versions, I can’t see myself doing the photography stuff in the alternatives. I’m moving more and more away from that work for moving images instead and the main programs I use for that do work (DaVinci resolve, blender). Thank you!

I’m a pretty advanced user on Windows and I sometimes use the command prompts but it’s pretty darn rare, and I certainly don’t have any commands memorized. I have a couple basic commands memorized for the run tool but even that rarely comes up. I don’t tinker with my machine for the sake of it though, ideally I want it to “just work” and I’d want the same thing from Linux. And I do want that but unfortunately there’s a few programs I need for my work that don’t run on it (namely lightroom and Photoshop). Spending time on Lemmy did make me want to install a dual boot mint though, I have a separate drive for it I need to move from my old machine, doing that soon^tm.

This particular program would work great in combination with old school German/Dutch toilets with the poop shelf, take a pic after the deed and let the program tell you how you need to adjust your diet.

All of that stuff is terrible for you anyway, I wouldn’t consume them even if they were made by my next door neighbour.

Unfortunately I do see them (a bit) in the Netherlands… Something them being a tax loophole for entrepreneurs (but they’re supposedly closing it). Definitely niche though, indeed the emotional support vehicles are the big German SUVs…

I think you think this thread is talking about the cybertruck but they’re just talking about regular pick up trucks.

NL has supposedly cracked down on the tax loophole which made these attractive to b entrepreneurs (something about imported vehicles), so hopefully we start seeing less of them over time.

Right that sounds reasonable then. Switching boot order is a piece of cake and the Linux drive would be the only 128gb one in the whole array (I have a lot of drives, including a setup with stablebit drivepool, will that work?). After I’m done with this current gig in a couple days I should have a small window of free time, maybe I’ll finally get to it!

Caveat number 3 is the reason I’m still on windows, I take it that’s still not an option then.

Yeah is that completely safe? I’m really tempted to try out Mint and I have an old M2 from my previous machine I could format and use for it. The PC is my work/editing station though so can’t afford any risk. I can’t really make the switch since I’m still dependent on LR+PS (Adobe…) but most of my other software should work, and I’ve just always wanted to get into Linux but not sure if it’ll actually benefit me and my work or if it’s just gonna cause me even more hassle than windows currently does.

I’m familiar with messing around in the BIOS, changing boot priority and formatting stuff and whatnot.

So we’ll have to go to libre office to spell arse?

That, and the inevitable bureaucratic nightmare that awaits for standardising across makes and updating the infrastructure.

Leopards, meet face, etc.

That’s right, they’re called 'l’académie française" and every year they update the dictionary with new words, take out old ones etc. The population then promptly ignores all of that and keeps talking however the fuck they want hahaha. But “inclusive writing” was indeed a big topic a few years back from what I gather (I don’t live there full time since a long time).

The French did make a huge thing about changing the way they write in recent years to include multiple genders etc, there was a big fuss about it.
