😧 "I'm a giant piece of shit!”

Protip: get a head start on that countdown by showing up late.

Yeah, but we want to increase the adoption rate of Linux. Surely an announcement by this White House would have the opposite effect

I guess I should play it then (and 2, judging by the replies). The only one I've played is 4, which has some really fun gameplay, and one of my favorite villains ever, Pagan Min. I didn't care much at all for the overall conflict or most of the other characters. What kept me going was taking out the outposts, climbing the towers (until it got repetitive), hunting, and flying around in that dinky little helicopter.

Guess I gotta replay that one too now...

Thanks for reminding us to resist giving in to confirmation bias. And thanks for the summary! I'll go read the article now for the full picture

Edit:

Is PwC advising clients not to worry if an AI pilot project fails, and push ahead with a large-scale deployment anyway?

I hope that any cultist CEO that rolls out this crap gets bitten hard by their hubris, that they become an example for the rest

I use the complex 12-step setup involving a couple of side jumps and rolls before jump-slashing through the gap next to the wall

The scene where Moss calmly sits down to compose the email gets me every time

And the OG SNES version has the best English translation. A hill I would gladly die on 😤

Opportunity? More like responsibility.

That's just me when I smell a fresh pie that my neighbor left on the windowsill.

Their donors did, and the Dem party obeyed.

I'm not typically a fan of overly loud exhausts, but when it's sensible I can make an exception. My WRX is, to my knowledge, all stock. When I start out up, it's slightly louder than the average car, but the tone is very low and smooth. From inside the car, it sounds beautiful. Nothing like the typical Infiniti muffler-delete that makes my eardrums bleed.

 

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!
