When I read your comment, I internalized "sorted" as "sordid." I guess either one works!

What's their next attack target, puppies?

Remember the time one of those shitheads shot and killed her own dog?

"BILLY EYE LASH" probably

Lever guy should be smiling for being presented with the easiest decision of his life.

Holy shit lol, that's my sister and her cat! I never thought I'd see them on Lemmy!

Dunno why PowerToys isn't bundled by default tbh.

PowerToys give the user more power, which goes directly against Microsoft's own goal.

Also, less seriously, "toys" implies the user might enjoy the experience, and you know they can't let that happen.

So they've (officially) done nothing wrong? Does that imply that it's not wrong to laze about while a shooter—who they obviously knew about—works unimpeded to hollow out classrooms with a fucking carbine?

Infinite money sounds great, but if you activate this glitch the Law faction becomes hostile toward you and their aggro range is increased.

There is a similar cheat that you can activate with a cheat code, but your parents need to input the code on the title screen before starting your game. You'll start in "New Game +" with huge bonuses to cash and influence. The Law faction becomes friendly toward you, and the MegaRich are neutral instead of hostile, and they'll even forgive minor grievances sometimes.

I never learned the code so I can't help much more than that. Sorry 😔

More people should watch Peep Show. I couldn't stop myself once I started the binge, despite how incredibly awkward the scenes can get. They did some really great stuff with the POV and inner monologue aspects.

That Mitchell and Webb Look is also very good, and yes, there's more to it than "Are we the baddies?" and Numberwang!

You mean there's more of me out there?!

✅ No buffering, music starts instantly

✅ No connection issues

✅ No monthly money drain

✅ No arbitrary access or availability revocation

❌ No immediate access to any song I want to hear, but

✅ I'm patient

Should be "financial security" imo.

The prospect of not even being able to afford a "cheap" roof over my head scares me regularly.

Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!

TL;DR: Have a very expensive laptop and want to make sure I can create a partition on two SSDs in RAID 0 without messing up everything.

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new to Linux and I'd like to get Mint running on my Windows machine. I used Ubuntu way back in maybe 2010 and I didn't really get why it was so great, except for "holy shit look at the kickass desktop cube!" I also use Arch By The Way with my Steam Deck, but that barely counts as "using" Linux.

These days I'm much more privacy- and FOSS-minded (not to mention more tech-savvy and comfortable with the CLI since becoming a web dev) so I'm ready and excited to take it more seriously. I definitely want to keep Windows on here to keep a more reliable option for playing games.

Now to the meat and potatoes: my laptop came with this storage configuration (capture from the product page): From my limited understanding of RAID 0, the two m.2 drives are used as if they're one, with the data being "striped" across them. Would that lead to any issues when I create a primary partition for Mint? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the last thing I want to do is ruin my laptop.

Here's what Disk Management shows, in case the additional info. is needed:

I would really appreciate any advice y'all can offer!
