Make sure to disable Windows hybrid sleep. If your system isn't shutdown properly and you access the Windows partition from another system that can destroy data.

If you just want to keep the data on the Windows partition and usually don't need to run Windows, I'd remove the Windows drive and keep it somewhere safe, and get another SSD for Linux. That way, the two systems are completely separate and can do nothing to each other.

Swap is mostly a crutch for too little RAM, if the system doesn't have enough the best solution would be an upgrade. If that's not possible, consider zram-swap, or if you have to, swap to an SSD (that will reduce its lifespan, though maybe not in a relevant manner). If you swap to an old HDD you won't have much fun using the system.

Already showing us how he wants to protect women.

Proud enough to show their faces?

Disgusting.

Canceling votes is a good start, but they shouldn't limit it to people they know, and even if all votes are cancelled, you still need more to actually win.

What an insight, he must be a tactical genius.

"Free speech" just means "I want to spout garbage without pushback (like fact checking) or consequences."

So what's the open source alternative you found? Sounds like it needs more advertising.

Since they don't seem to care about it, start using "tweet" for every social media post to devalue them further.

Tax them out of existence.

Why does he need a defense? We already know he's weird.

https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist is supposed to remove AI slop from the results of various search engines. Wants the uBlacklist browser addon though.

Weirdo in chief.

If we can't manage to keep Earth's ecosystem thriving to support us, we certainly won't be able to create a new self-sustaining ecosystem elsewhere. And without that, there's no chance of any non-Earth settlement being able to sustain a healthy human society and culture long-term.

Without some serious (currently impossible) terraforming, Mars colonies are limited to deep caves or heavily shielded buildings, no outside to relax, nowhere else to go. Have a look at the list of crimes in Antarctica, a similar situation where people are stuck together, that's not a good environment for mental health, and it will be worse farther away. A Mars colony (edit: or space station) owned by a private company will be a corporate prison, the inhabitants are 100% dependent on that company - who would voluntarily put their lives into the hands of the whims of some narcissistic hoarder with no empathy or regard for workers?

"If I can't have zero genocide then I don't care to vote against the candidate that is very likely to be even worse."

Especially with only two candidates with a chance of winning, a vote doesn't mean unconditional support for everything that candidate wants. Sucks, but if you want to make your wishes known more specifically, you have to do more than just vote (if even that) and complain on the internet.

We haven't solved the "disposal" question of using fossil fuels, and those turned out (or were known along) to cause much bigger problems.

Number 10 Downing Street, the address of the UK Prime Minister's Office.

Individuals owning their own means of energy production is obviously unamerican.

Why aren't those clowns laughed out of the room as soon as they open their mouths?

Modern cheats for multiplayer games don't modify local files (or attribute values in memory), since the server validates everything anyway. They're about giving you information that's available but not shown in the game (like see-through walls, or exact skill ranges), or manipulate input (dodge enemy damage, easy combos). Those cheat can run in kernel mode (or at least evade detection from user mode), so the anti-cheat needs kernel mode to be more effective.

There's also Rust for the Polyglot Programmer which seems to be a generic version of those.

Calibre can create a full text index to search through everything (well, for files that actually contain the text, and it needs a lot of space).

Nothing, some people just dislike the slow pace of its development or some design decisions and fork it (and in the process remove or break less used functionality, like Podcini can't read any feeds on my old Android 7 phone).

Maybe this should have been the initial announcement before they pushed it onto users. Though obviously some of the backlash is due to inept media going (as usual) for clickbait instead of research and actual reporting.

They're such a bunch of weird cockwombles.

He kinda did answer, basically "we'll have import tariffs to pay for all we need including child care" while making it sound like other countries would pay for it. But of course that's stupid because the money will come from the people who buy the imported goods, i.e. Americans.

You agreed that either Trump or Harris will win. Your vote can only threaten one of them, by voting for the other or an alternative candidate. Same with not voting, the winner won't care about your missing vote.

That means no action you take in the election will harm both candidates, ergo there is no way to vote against both of them.

Although I hope they also considered what happens if there's two of them on a circuit

The regulations allow only for one. If you want a bigger install than that you need individual approval I think.

Or a lost little dog that misses its master.

I'm advocating for the outcome where the candidate that doesn't want to jail their opponents and use the military against protestors wins, so that you can continue to make your disagreement with parts of their policy known.

The current system (or voter inertia) doesn't allow you to vote against both. One of them will win, your only decision is which one you want (or despise less). If your vote doesn't threaten their win, then when you vote for neither you're voting for the winner.

I'm glad to see that you're doing more than just voting, which I was advocating for in the first post you answered.

How does that help disempower the fossil fuel mafia?

What a silly weirdo.

Audiobooks have a simple workaround if you can find a version of the book in text format to download, just index that.

Move your lightly cupped, relaxed hand behind the fly. Then suddenly accelerate and grab the fly that got startled into flying into your hand by the movement.

You could try laughing at them instead, but maybe then they start the punching.

Modern meters take that into account (and you'll get one by the energy provider if you don't have it already when you tell them you installed such solar panels), everything that's used in your home gets balanced against what you produce, regardless of which specific circuit uses / provides energy. (Only immediate usage though, and if you add a battery that can save your excess energy instead of feeding it back into the grid you roughly quadruple the cost so that's quite a bit more expensive.)

I only know 16 amp breakers (~3600 W), not sure if lower current circuits are commonly used in Germany. In my experience every socket can power devices like a toaster or lawn mower, so they're all suitable for such solar inverters.

I'm unconvinced that pulling back from space programs will make Earth's ecosystem thrive.

My point was more or less the opposite: Anyone interested in space exploration should also be interested in keeping Earth well livable, because that is needed for its success.
