I mean, I'm Canadian and live in Scotland, if I didn't have trans family and friends who are poor, LGBTQ, and absolutely not white, I'd be having a bit of a laugh too. The suffering is still a bit close to home for my likes.
Edit: as below, forgot to add the bit about anyone who's not a man. Zip2 said female, I will leave it as not a man
Best thing that could happen is if it goes down with Trump, Vance, Musk, and Kennedy all on board.
Yeah, but the show would be funny instead of sad, uncomfortable, and the root of a lot of people's existential dread...
It's not a bug, it's the system working as designed
That's fair man
VPNw
It's a little known FOSS project, it piggybacks on TOR network and several other VPNs. The "W" stands for wank, as unfortunately VPNw only allows porn through to the user's device, if a non-smut site is accessed VPNw injects millisecond flashes of tiddies n cacks full screen every 45 seconds. Highly recommended, can't ever be too safe out there on the digital seas....
Never forget the broad bipatisan support for blind support of the genocide being carried out by Israel.
The current Republican party is definitely the worse of the two, but it's small margins. The Democrats, with a few exceptions (that I'm sure would be Independents if there was actually any point to that in the American electoral system,) only barely qualify as liberal these days. They keep shifting further right to try and capture some of the less rabid "disenfranchised" republican voters. End of the day this is doing damage to American democracy too.
I only had an underpowered laptop that could barely play modern games.
I would like to point out that not all modern games have stupidly high requirements, and I might argue that the ones that do could actually optimise their shit to work on lower spec machines.
So I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on the Surface Pro 4, trying to decide if I should pick one up and slap Linux on it.
Opinions were.....mixed.
I got a decent deal on one, and that's partly why it's taken me so long to post an update. It was cheap because the previous buyer had returned it to the seller claiming that there were power issues. The seller said they hadn't encountered said issues in the hour or so of testing they did, and I call fucking bullshit!
Once powered off or restarted it was taking up to 48hrs before it would grace me with booting up. And usable time ranged for 15mins to an hour before system lockup resulting in either a freeze until battery run out, or immediate system shutdown, and another 12-48hrs wait to power it up again. Obviously this is suboptimal.
Part of the issue, possibly unsurprisingly, was windows and the stripped down BIOS. After turning off secure boot, turning off the "battery saver" mode(restricts charging to 50% of total capacity) and scrubbing windows off the drive like a crusty booger...things have improved. I'm still unable to restart the device, restart powers down, but no power up. Wait times to power up again went from probably 36hrs average to 2hrs average, and if I just don't turn it off, the system is stable.
My time with Nobara on the surface has been really enjoyable, everything is just stock, I've not wanted to muck around too much and get attached in case I can't figure out the actual root cause of the power issues.
As such, not really much else to report other than Nobara running well, and pretty much everything running as well or better than when windows was installed. Touch functionality works slightly differently in Nobara than Windows, but that's not really a bother for me.
If any of you greybeard wizards has any ideas on what might be happening with the power cycle issues I'd appreciate some suggestions. I think it may be a battery issue, but I'm waiting on a hot air station to be able to open it up and have a proper look at it's guts. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with temps, that was my first thought but that didn't pan out.
Track I made a few months ago, and a picture to go with it by one of the AI generative programs.
The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.

I have an alt on .ca, I find there's a pretty good mix of beliefs there. And a fair number less tankies than where this alt I'm on is....
