“we’re bleeding money” so lets get my mother-in-law who is already in a long term care facility to move in and not pay a dime which will end up costing us MORE in the long run as she’ll need to be cared for.
But you own 7 other units, why not just sell one or two of those if you’re “bleeding money”.
I just wish people would be honest every now and again and simply say “We make a lot of money but we want to make more.”
easily bypassed though. literally just refresh your browser a few times and it’ll stop asking you for 2FA.
it’s because with Archinstall it tells you what to do/setup as opposed to the user having to utilize something like the Arch Wiki to set it up. So it acts almost like any other distro install. It walks you through the process.
I would suggest when you decide to give Arch a go for the first time to start out with something like CachyOS to get your legs under you so you can easily understand it. That being said Arch is painfully easy to install now thanks to Archinstall but going the CachyOS route it’ll install the packages you need and then you can understand what you do and don’t need when it comes time to install regular Arch. Otherwise you might just install Arch and then wonder why some stuff doesn’t work because you didn’t install certain packages.
I’ve gotten more free games from EGS than buying anything and I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything on EGS. that’s all it’s good for to me.
if you like vim navigation there’s Qutebrowser. I use that as my daily driver and I love it. will never use another browser again.
start with Mint, get your legs under you, after a couple weeks or so if you want to explore try something else. it’s as easy as that.
about 1 or 2 times a year, consistently, Windows for whatever reason would kill my wifi on my system. uninstalling and reinstalling drivers wouldn’t work, hard resetting wouldn’t work, nothing. Just randomly disabled my wifi and looking online the ONLY solution was a complete reinstall of the OS. I don’t know why it did this, but it was an annual thing for me to have to reinstall the OS just to get wifi working again.
I had enough. decided to try a live usb of Linux Mint and I liked it so I installed it on my system. after 2 weeks I switched to CachyOS and now i’m on NixOS.
annnnnd the NDP sided with the Cons on this one.
I’m never voting NDP ever again. cowardice shills. And I don’t even like the Liberals.
I’m not handing over my ID and info to whatever data collection company simply because I want to potentially view something on social media.
You believe sites just magically know who’s under 16 or not? because if you do I got some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you.
it’s not though. I just tried it and you can’t highlight text and then scroll through fonts. you still need to know specifically what font you want or know all the fonts installed on your system. Unlike photoshop where you can highlight text and then scroll through the fonts you have installed which will change the highlighted text to whatever font on the fly. Gimp still to this day doesn’t do that.
if this improves how gimp handles fonts I’d use it.
now that is one VERY controversial and brave opinion. I admire you for it.
it’s fine. The only difference I’ve seen is how some other Canadians are treating Americans now. just a bit more cold towards them. Other than that specific thing it’s not an issue.
it’s expensive here. Groceries are a crap shoot and if you have the ability to shop mom and pop then that’s your best bet. Thankfully I live in Toronto near an area known as “little china” so I do all my grocery shopping there and I save an absolute ton. better quality food imo too.
Rent is a crap shoot pretty much every where in the country. you’re not going to find US prices here at all. And if the place you do live is connected via a transit system to a major city then rent is going to be about the same as if you were actually living in said major city. so you’re looking at paying well over $1200 a month for just about everything. anything below that? you’re one lucky bastard.
Everything else is expensive because in Canada there’s very little, if any, competition and that’s by design. like 3 grocery chains, maybe 3 telecom providers that all provide phone, internet, and tv service so they all work together and adjusting their prices. The Canadian government is essentially in the pocket of these companies so you won’t get competition at all as the government basically won’t allow it.
It’s been like this for a very long time. Canada is expensive, has always been expensive, and will continue to be expensive because the powers that be want it that way.
I use NixOS myself and I love it, i’ll never use another distro again. plus with distrobox I don’t even need to use another distro, I already have all the major ones on my NixOS System.
If you do decide to go the Nix route keep in mind there’s really no right nor wrong way to have your system set up. it’s all personal preference. Some people will say flakes are the way to go, some people will say the opposite. Some people like having their system in modules, some don’t. Some like using the home-manager, some don’t. It’s all up to you. All I will suggest though is if you do try Nix set up a Git repo somewhere like on codeberg for it. Just makes things easier.
10 USB sticks? why? just use ventoy and throw them all on an external SSD or something. that’s what I do. can even use that with specific dotfiles you need for each distro along with ventoy. much easier to deal with than 10 usb sticks.
Krohnkite is fine and all but it’s quite janky with certain programs.
ok champ.
The other day I needed cash and my regular bank wasn’t near me so the idiot that I am decided to use a TD ABM. $5. it cost me 5 friggin dollars to draw out $20. if I weren’t in a rush Id have said fuck that but god damn, 5 god damn dollars just to use their ABM?
