deadcatbounce, (edited ) to linux in cheapest new computer running linux <$500
@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

If it runs Windows it’ll run Linux almost certainly. The cheaper you go, the more likely you’ll have lower priced or older components for WiFi, Bluetooth etc which may mean that you have to dig some firmware binaries out to get the whole thing running.

If you can take a USB stick with you of a typical Rescue distribution, and can boot it up, you’ll know what will and won’t work easily. The bits that don’t work may need some minor fiddling. As I said, there are usually walkthrough blogs etc around.

Have fun.

deadcatbounce, (edited ) to linux in SBC's with better mainline Linux support than Raspberry Pi?
@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

Who said that (you have to use their custom mainline kernel)?

Fedora have an IoT distribution that fits the Raspberry Pi for example. There’s workstation and a ostree versions.

Armbian I’ve used in preference to Raspbian or whatever they call it today. I like the cleanest distributions as much as possible.

That’s all I have personal experience with, but there are others.

Meanwhile, others have suggested other boards. However, don’t think that Raspbian is it (pun intended).

The most stereotypical thing about teenagers are the people who are charged with bringing them up, or not.

That’s very good to read. It was only the sign-up that went badly wrong and getting on touch with them made it worse.

Hopefully I got a disgruntled Customer Service person on a bad day. One of those things.

Enjoy!

I really wanted to use Tidal because of the Linux thing and FLAC, despite the cost over Spotify etc.

Tried to sign up and had horrendous problems over such a simple thing. Gave up on them. Never had a problem with subscriptions before or since, unless you count insurance auto-renew!

If you’re not an Apple assimilate, Deezer is good for songs. Sadly, the part of their app that handles favourites really sucks.

They get really annoyed when you keep asking them about it every six months. What is it with us subscribers?!

@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

The sources are either the government, agencies of the government, or left leaning newspapers of record.

If you think they’re nutters, you need a check up from the neck up.

deadcatbounce, (edited ) to asklemmy in Anyone on here know where all the conspiracy people hang out?

They don’t be want you to know in case you’re a plant working for “the Man”.

Upvoted anyway. What could go wrong?

deadcatbounce, to linux in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)
@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

I don’t but i note increasing difficulty in upgrading/keeping prior extensions to the new version of gnome.

For example, “recent files” extensions for the top bar used to number in the threes I think. With the last gnome version there was only one which wasn’t the most useful of the lot. I use it because it makes it easier beginning again the following day, rather than the extra step of opening the file mangler. I’ll probably go with the majority and drop it once I upgrade to Fedora 39.

Looks like gnome is becoming more useful to people in basic guise, incorporating many of the extension functions within the main GUI, and so the once popular extensions are becoming unmaintained.

No. Egalitarianism is about egalitarianism. Feminism is about female domination. The clue is in the name. You’re that dumb.

There are no rights that men have that women don’t. However

Laws rightly protect against FGM, nothing protects against MGM. The child might have to have his penis removed, mangled to such an extent that it causes significant daily pain and all kinds of suffering, foreskin removal means loss of sensation. All totally legal.

Children don’t have the right to a relationship their fathers. 90% of divorces allocate children to the mother. I was a victim of that decision by diagnosed physically and mentally abusive narcissist. Women are the number one cause of child death or abuse. Number two is mum’s new bf. Dad’s are number four or five; they (ONS here in the UK) stopped publishing the numbers/ranking when certain groups objected to facts.

It is significant that the marital assets and income generally follow the person who obtains control of the children. The allocation isn’t about the best person to care for the children, it’s about the assets and income.

About a fifth of the children who go through DNA in the child maintenance payments procedures are found to have the incorrect person listed on their birth certificate. The rest of men having their assets, income and liberty at risk don’t know. UK Government FoI fact. Having a DNA test to establish paternity in France is not even legal.

“Under child support legislation it is a criminal offence to make a false statement or representation, and to provide false documents or information.

However, according to the CSA, there has not been a single prosecution of a woman for making a false claim. The figures showing the number of false paternity claims have been compiled using freedom of information legislation.”

The incidence of criminal convictions in the case of two parent households is the same as those of single parent male households. Single parent female households have much higher conviction rates for their children.

Male suicide is many times that of women but always men are never involved in the TV coverage. It’s always some women using the boy’s death for their publicity and victimhood. I know exactly what that’s like to watch, and know that the women involved are never going to try to help deal with the issues before or after.

Knowingly false allegations by women are standard procedure for a disagreement with boys or men. I’m not talking about mistaken identity or an accident. Everyone of age knows a someone who has had this used on a man as a threat to extract what they want or other leverage. The numbers of male teachers in schools has nose dived.

Here in the UK, legal aid except for domestic violence, cases was curtailed in 2010 (?), the following quarter as published by the government body CAFCASS, the number of restraining order applications increased by something like seven times if I recall. Coincidence? Seven times more men committed acts of domestic violence on a woman immediately after domestic violence was a requirement. We regularly hear on the media that another man has been released from prison after serving lengthy time fully exonerated for the rape crime he was sentenced, others are not so lucky.

As a result, the rape convictions for real female victims keep falling. It is well known that gay men and men in prison do not report rape. Ever.

Domestic violence incidents in lesbian households by far outweigh those in any other household including gay, straight, etc. The woman who set up the world’s first domestic violence shelter now actively campaigns for domestic violence shelters for men and children and disowns the feminists who refused to accept that men can be victims and took over her cause for equality. Her name is Erin Pussey. Google her.

There is continuous series of sexual abuse by female teachers of students in loco parentis (literally in place of the parent). Otherwise known as paedophilia. The media cannot use the word rape, even though that’s what it is, because the female teacher doesn’t have a penis. The relevant statute demands that penetration by the penis is the only definition constituting rape.

The invincibility of women that they feel for their outlandish views/actions has given rise to the concept of the Karen. There doesn’t appear to be a sustained male equivalent.

I can go on but you’ve already stopped reading.

@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

That’s not what I suggested.

I know quite a few who have no support for boys having the same rights that girls enjoy. If they did the law would have been written with males and females considered equal. There’s is no downside for girls asking for equality for boys.

Isn’t that what feminism is all about? Equality?

@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

It’s amazing that FGM is outlawed in much of the first world (plus America), but not MGM.

All guys want is equality. Yet ne’er a feminist around when men are the unrepresented victims.
