It's a little confusing, at first you say you'll need to use the terminal to correct "something about your particular hardware or software setup may require special tweaks or install that requires typing" then later you say "I now have my Mint OS on a portable USB keychain that I can use on any PC."
It doesn't seem these two statements could both be true. But regardless, I'm glad you appear to have found a working solution to whatever problem you were trying to solve. I believe the greatest strength of Linux is that in general the problems are solvable whereas in closed source systems they are often not and in fact are often discouraged either to make more money or just simply exert control.
I just upgraded a Linux box I build in 2018. It had a Ryzen 5 1600 and 16gb DDR4. Previously I'd replaced the video card with a Radeon 580. But with that config it sucked at video games, pretty much unplayable. Replaced the CPU with a Ryzen 9 5900 and slightly faster 32GB DDR4 and now all of a sudden it plays older games great. Probably the most challenging game I've tried is Doom from 2016 or whenever which isn't much to brag about but the CPU upgrade made a huge difference. The video card and CPU was about $450. Definitely worth the money. It feels like a totally different computer.
As a side note, I'm generally not a big fan of generative AI but it was helpful in deciding the upgrades. In particular it pointed out that to upgrade the CPU I needed to update my motherboard BIOS. Double check everything for sure but it provided solid suggestions.
Hard to argue one way or another with the one sentence statement in the original post. I mentioned that a social safety net is important but that there should be an expectation of work. Work doesn't necessarily mean toiling in a factory for some wealthy capitalist. Ideally it means work towards self-improvement, which can mean a variety of things, including toiling in a factory.
Hardly worth engaging with someone who immediately starts with a strawman argument. I never said anything about worth or owned. But ironically I think most would consider the squirrel pretty hard working. I don't think many squirrels expect someone else to build their house.
Well, the reality is that it does take work to live, sort of by definition. That is unless you envision life as existing in some sort of techno-uterus, being pumped full of nutrients a la the Matrix. But seriously, a fulfilling life does take work. A social safety net shouldn't mean there is no expectation to work. There should be both.
When I was that age my main exercise was commuting by running or biking. I got additional sporadic exercise doing miscellaneous sports. Having kids made it very hard to do more than that. I'm not working now and have the time and energy to do much broader and consistent exercise.
Turning your commute into your exercise regimen is great. Be warned though that the human body is great at optimizing and will quickly adapt to that specific routine. When you vary off that routine you'll find you're not in as great of shape as you thought. But you'll be miles ahead from where you'd be otherwise.
Hyperion by Dan Simmons. A very imaginative book. Which could be considered a backhanded compliment. I dont think he always gets it right but on the balance it's an engaging read. Best of all its a trilogy so more books to go. Hopefully the quality keeps up.
When reddit announced that they were going public I knew the end was nigh. Money corrupts everything. What made reddit cool was the users and reddit just wanted to suck that dry. I was happy to leave but I pretty much just lurked on Reddit so it wasn't that hard.
Canada would then be more US than Canadian at that point. US + Canada should keep United States of America name. The question is then what to call the other country. Kingdom of Christ? The 1950s?
Flip-flopping on states rights is conservative bread and butter. When conservatives control the federal government there is no such thing as state rights and when they don't it's federal overreach. This endless news cycle with these talking heads ceaselessly babbling is normalizing that words don't actually matter. Politicians will say the exact opposite thing with equal conviction.
Yes, I heard that but I think that there is almost always somewhere to move. My guess is that the police thought she didn't make that effort. Probably the police didn't make it very clear what they wanted before the escalated.
Isreali security was complicit with the Oct 7 attack.
The breadth of knowledge demonstrated by Al gives a false impression of its depth.
Sell nvidia and buy amd.
Banning third party apps was the symptom. The root cause was Reddit going public. The lust for cash ruined Reddit for a lot of people.

Come on Leo, there's money to be made. This isn't the time to consider consequences. If I don't get it someone else will.
But seriously, it's a pretty good argument against a guy sitting on $10 billion talking about wealth inequality.
I'm not sure I want to follow Charlie Kirk career path. It sort of seems like a dead-end.

Haha! Now if only the point of work was to make you happy! If research showed it made your boss wealthier then everyone would be WFH tomorrow!

Once Reddit announced they were going public I knew it was over. Money corrupts everything. I definitely spent (wasted) a lot of time on RIF.
Hadn't heard of that before. Thanks for the reference.
