Wait, aren't windshields supposed to be either tempered or laminated? How in the hell is a huge shard able to be broken off like that?!
It seems if the locking doors don't ensure you cook in the event of a fire, the windshield will cut your entire head off. Great safety standards there!
Edit: as someone pointed out it's probably the reflection of that traffic light. Hating the cuck truck is cool, but quashing disinfo is much cooler 😎
The lesson here is don't troll these idiots, they'll fucking believe it and then start passing idiotic laws for non-problems.
Exactly this. Just like flat earthers (and that super bizarre one about time cubes or whatever), the rubes will gobble it up and eventually people will get hurt over it.
Another one is the Birds Aren't Real meme, which I think is pretty funny, but you just know that an innocent birdwatcher will get shot some day because an extremely mentally unwell person will assume that they're some government spook checking on the "drones".
Oh I agree 100% on your point about using a guide, but I have this weird fixation on beating it as if I had gotten it on release when I was a kid. The only thing I'm allowing myself is a PDF of the manual that came with it, and no save states. I finally played and beat Super Metroid just recently with the same restrictions (on my childhood SNES and a real cartridge!) and it felt very satisfying.
As for my long-term patience, I have a second monitor and countless hours of long-form YouTube content to keep me entertained through the mundane moments.
I'll definitely give Samus Returns a try as well. Thanks for the recommendation!
Metroid II, the original one for Game Boy. I want to play AM2R eventually but I want to properly appreciate the work that went into it. And I'm trying my hardest to do it, so far successfully, without consulting a map.
So far I have:
After more than seven hours I'm starting to go insane, but my stubbornness knows no bounds. I've seen every room of the game at least 20 times and probably bombed every single tile. The only place I know for a fact is new is, well, entirely submerged in lava. I'm at an impasse 😞
Lancia
Sad to see that name here, but they're nothing like they were in the Group B days. At least my ultimate dream car will never have ads, even if I'll never be able to afford the car itself 🥲

Have you been following Kitten Space Agency? I so badly want it to be what KSP2 could/should have been.
Do we have a phrase for this yet? Like, we have "bit the onion", so would this be "planted the bulb"?
Your comparison is more accurate than mine, but when I first saw that top-left image I immediately thought of Kiddy Kong with that stupid smile.
Incoming executive order to rename it "Enola Happy (of America)"
Welcome to Lemmy! It's much, much slower here, but a lot of people (myself included) see that as a plus.
Please don't be discouraged if your niche hobby isn't represented here. I'm not one to talk, but if the community for it doesn't exist, go ahead and create it! 😁
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!
Ah, you may be right. I can see it now!
