Its a blessing in disguise that there have been server issues. It will hopefully spread users out better over other instances.

Linux technology advice 😍

Might be referring to philosopher Judith Butler's "gender performativity." Guessing by the similar name, I don't know what it actually means.

You should try installing vim ("Vi IMproved") and run the vimtutor program it comes with, it walks you through the basics. Vim is addictive.

Thanks for your answer. I will look into secure boot.

I don't want to customize the boot menu. Its just that in the boot order list grub shows up as a bunch of gibberish (see right above the entry for the windows bootloader). Im worried that this might mean something is wrong. If it can get the name of the windows bootloader properly it should with grub too.

(And you guessed right, its acer)

Lemmy-ui uses isomorphic rendering so comments do come loaded (just not all of them) on the first page you visit, no javascript needed. Did you mean it should serve all comments?

Sadly I dont know when it was added or if it can be turned off, Im not very familiar with it.

Of those I subscribe to, a few I don't miss reading:

• https://www.the-syllabus.com/ - A curated selection of articles and videos. Broad, it covers politics, tech, etc through careful journalism, papers and talks.
• https://www.aisnakeoil.com/ - Commentary and chapters from a forthcoming textbook. Tired of all the lazy hype so this is nice to read. By Arvind Narayanan (the PL researcher) and an AI PhD student.
• https://www.carbonbrief.org/ - Weekly summary of climate stuff, something important but Im too lazy to properly follow news.

Its happened to me. I just delete and repost which makes it work, which seems to mean it shouldnt take that long at all.

I agree that was inappropriate, but it won't work, on newer versions you have to pass --no-preserve-root to rm if you want to delete /
