Sure, here are instructions for getting Linux Mint running: https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
These instructions are for creating a USB flash drive that functions as both a live environment or an installer. If you don’t want to install it yet, this allows you to try it out while booting just from the flash drive, without modifying your hard drive at all.
I feel like the US is more like a Second World country. By “Second World”, I mean the countries that are more aligned to Russia than to NATO. That description now fits the US, unfortunately.
Do you have any evidence of major AI generated memes and comments? Sometimes I see an obvious AI image (and down vote it), and some communities are made for the purpose of AI so I blocked them. But aside from that, have you found much generative AI slop?
And if so, how would you fix that in code? Some sort of captcha? I think the volume is low enough that it wouldn’t help.
I think people are more pissed off and divided than they have been in a very long time. It’s hard to say how close we are to a civil war, though. There’s been a lot of propaganda for a long time saying “violence is not the answer” (even though sometimes it is), and “violence has no place in our system of government” (even though the government abuses its own monopoly on violence to imprison and kill innocent, peaceful people).
It feels like the media in the US is less reliable than it’s ever been in my lifetime, and would probably suppress as much as possible any information that would support open rebellion.
First choice: 292 K
Second choice: 9 C
If we’re talking only outdoor temperature, third choice is 100 F, because air conditioning exists, and my peppers would thrive.
If it’s ambient indoor temperature too, then I pick 9 F, which is unpleasant, but survivable. At 100 F indoors, you will be constantly sweating for the rest of your life.
If gender is what’s in your pants, then twice a week my gender is your dad.
When you switch to an admin account on Windows, there are still files owned by “TrustedInstaller” that you can’t touch, and processes owned by “System” that you can’t terminate.
Linux doesn’t have that. When you switch to root, you can kill any process. You can modify or delete any file.
a Tennessee Highway Patrol checkpoint
These checkpoints are illegal in all of the US. Cops can’t stop a driver without a reason. I know that’s not much consolation to someone who is arrested during a stop for no reason.
She drove because her husband, Hilario Martínez García, 46, is undocumented and cannot obtain a license in Tennessee
During a traffic stop, cops can ask the driver for a driver’s license. There is no reason to ask the passengers for ID, and if the passengers are asked, they don’t have to give ID. They may have to give their name in some jurisdictions, but cops usually need a reason for asking for the name, and being a passenger at a road checkpoint isn’t a reason.
It seems clear to me that these cops are operating outside the law, and probably have been since before this immigration stuff.
The cell membrane is the wall of the cell. I know it’s less catchy, but human cells don’t have a cell wall.
I’ve had several funny AI results in my searches lately:
This doesn’t change the fact that 47 is the current problem, and is the one currently talking about nuclear war. No matter how bad Biden would have been on this issue, he is currently irrelevant.
Are you going to provide an explanation you think is more correct? Some kind of correction, or citation, or just say “you’re wrong” without further comment?
The first half, because of testosterone.
The second half, because of prolactin.
It’s not really that simple, but it’s part of it. And I’m not a doctor.
Last company where I faced external suppliers, I had to take a training where they said we couldn’t accept any item worth more than like $20, except food or alcohol during a presentation. But we could accept such items on behalf of the company, and they would be raffled off to a random employee. One time a guy in purchasing got a giant brass horse head from a Chinese supplier. I guess nobody signed up for the raffle, so it became a permanent fixture in the cafeteria.
