RIP 😭

I had the same problem - see this thread for solution (you have to scoll down to the middle)

in short, delete or rename this file: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

I’m not technical enough to think it through carefully but I’ve always thought there was an opportunity for an organization like USPS to develop email 2.0 - something that gives people some kind of verifiable and secure email address so that users can easily find each other whilst filtering out spam (or to have spam taken into consideration in the design at the outset). You would design it based on strict standards that would be difficult to get around so that big tech could not easily co-opt it, and adopt for some kind of critical function (taxes, voting maybe?) so that it would encourage adoption en masse. Make it distributed so that users can selfhost it easily, safely, and securely.

Jealous that you’ve seen them in the wild!

Probably a California Condor at the San Diego Zoo.

There’s no such thing as almond milk. You know how I know ? Because there’s no almond tiddies.

With apologies to Lewis Black.

There, ftfy

Five Guys is ok but is also 25-30% more expensive than most of the other places listed here, at least where I live.

The problem is that the cops are on their side.

The label is in Chinese (simplified characters common in China) and translates as “100 rainbow chrysanthemum seeds”. I have no idea whether the contents are what the label claims.

This is not distro specific advice but: when starting out you can use a virtual machine like VMware to test drive Linux without having to repartition your drive. VMware is free for individual non commercial use.

Wireless APs are the way to go - make sure to get ones that support VLANs for better network security.

What’s wrong with nano? I love nano. As a general thing I love Linux programs that are terminal based but also have a decent UI. Neomutt comes to mind for email.

For work the only thing that holds me back from using Linux is Office 365. The web apps for O365 are just not up to par for anything other than the most basic tasks.

Point taken lol

Linux Mint is instant Nescafe - pour in hot water and it Just Works. It doesn’t necessarily taste the best but it gets the job done.

For more complex documents, O365 does not work well, sadly.

agreed! If there were ever a linux distro that Just Works, it would be Linux Mint.
