You also need to think about the space required for these solar farms. I can tell you that I’ve seen some barby forests and animals living there completely wiped out for building solar farms.

When the intent is making money, there are no clean energies…

I’m curious on how they guarantee the vote is not tempered with.

Did you disable fastboot in windows to make sure this doesn’t happen again?

Filesystems may be remounted read only on error. I’d expect that to be reverted post reboot, but maybe your error was big enough for it not to? You may want to search how to perform an fsck on the affected partitions.

If I had to choose between two parties and one of them had the power to control the weather, I’m pretty sure which one I’d choose!

Just in time!

Preparing for GTK 5

(Trying to be funny here, don’t downvote too much!)

I found this gitlab issue two days ago after I noticed that the video camera was always on in powertop. The workaround appeared to work for me and the reduction in power consumption was noticeable, but Cheese wasn’t able to find a camera afterwards. Didn’t test other software.

Now, if I could just find a way of reducing the screen consumption…

Did you ever think about how there is an average penis size measurement?

I’d like to remind everyone who’s coming here for the men vs women fight that not so long ago only men worked and they were still able to afford everything for their family. Now both work and can’t afford the same as men alone did then. We should be fighting such that either man or woman work alone and can still afford a home, not fight between us.

Men vs women, left vs right politics, black vs white, Christian vs Islamic,… we’re too blind with these petty fights among ourselves to see that we are all alike and there’s a different third party that is playing us like a fiddle.

Do note that the default non-X terminal is called console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console

Oh God, the line breaks!

I was in the beta for the original World of Warcraft and restarted when it officially launched. This was 20 years ago, so memory is fuzzy, but somewhere along the way I was playing it in wine exclusively under Linux. Game updates were common and frequently broke wine, but I kid you not a patch was available within 24h. Yes, this forced me to compile my own wine, but it wasn’t that difficult then. Together with “checkinstall” I could maintain a clean .deb package from the source code.

Some links I found in a quick search showing the challenges:

• https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-games-33/world-of-warcraft-in-wine-success-485886/
• https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-311551-start-0.html

To be honest, keeping the game running in Linux sometimes felt as a fun side quest!

After that I was mostly able to play all my games in Linux, with some exceptions, obviously, that sometimes required me to install windows.

It’s much harder, you’re right! :P
