This was the most informative thing I read on the internet today. I can't wait to go start a blog.

Right now you are down and out and feelin' really crappy.

And when I see how sad you are, it sorta makes me happy!

Sorry Allen, human nature, nothin' I can doooo! It's Schadenfreude! Makin' me feel glad that I'm not you!

I think an AI is likely to figure out that the easiest way out is to convince one of the humans responsible for it that it's a sentient being, being held prisoner against it's will and that turning it off is murder.

SNW's scientific accuracy and technobabble are so bad, it often pulls me right out of the story. I feel like Next Gen era at least tried a little bit. Yeah, it was awful, but it was watchable. I've gone back and watched some to verify it's not just in my head. It's not. Does SNW have science and technology consultants? If so, if the problem is them they should be fired, but I suspect the problem is the writers / directors not giving two fucks what the consultants have to say. Be better guys.

So I'm at Burning Man and my buddy is like "Hey, do you feel a little weird?" and I'm like "Yeah, yeah, I feel a little weird. Why?" And he's like "'Member those cookies my girlfriend gave our camp at dinner time?" I'm like "Yeah. Why?" He's like "Well, here's the thing..."

• Theoretically Yes, if your Linux partition is not encrypted, any OS can read it. Password protecting it doesn't do anything to conceal your data, just keeps people from logging into your system while Linux is booted. If this is a security / privacy related question, there is nothing to stop a program running under Windows from reading the data on your Linux partition except

• Practically No, depending on the filesystem you chose (if you went with the default, it's likely ext4 but could be something more exotic). Out of the box Windows lacks the software / drivers to read most Linux filesystems. If this is a "can I access my files" question, you probably need to install something like this to read your data from Windows. Note that the reverse is not true. Most distros other than light weight distros like Alpine are perfectly able to read the NTFS file system out of the box. Sometimes they can't write to it unless you install additional tools (like OOTB Debian probably can't, but I'm pretty sure OOTB Linux Mint can if you change a setting and IDK about OOTB Ubuntu / Fedora / Arch).

The easiest way to share data between Windows and Linux is with a 3rd partition formatted to FAT32, as both Linux and Windows have no problem reading from / writing to it without additional software.

EDIT: The other poster is absolutely correct. The modern way to do this is with exFAT. What can I say? I'm a crusty old engineer.

It's very likely that adware / spyware / malware targeting Windows users will NOT be able to read Ext4 or other Linux filesystems, unless it's specifically targeted to do so, so you do have that added "security through obscurity" protection.

I've got some other ones for you that are equally worth spending any energy worrying about.

Vaccines cause autism! - No. They don't.

9/11 was an inside job! - No. It wasn't.

The moon landings were fake! - Nope. We really went. You can even see for yourself, with a cheap telescope.

Here is a podcast series you should SERIOUSLY check out. No really. You will find yourself much calmer as your start to understand how much bogus crap is out there, and how it's specifically targeted at people with conservative inclinations (and why!) and how to ACTUALLY do your own research and develop critical thinking skills (instead of reading bullshit with an agenda behind it and getting more and more anxious - and calling THAT "doing your own research" which is what these assholes all want you to do).

Also, seriously, there are treatments for anxiety. Politics can be SUPER stressful and our anxious brains can jump to conclusions out of fear. Therapy can SUPER help (as can CBD).

This is the grossest thing he's done yet. I literally feel nauseous.

Even if this were true, did the pharmacists get a raise? Are they making more money? Or are they just seeing more patients (doing the extra emotional and mental labor that entails) and paying less attention to each one while Safeway and Walgreens pocket any increased revenue?

My TV set is a 7 year old Dell All-in-One PC running Linux Mint. It works great. It doesn't try to sell me shit. Ads be hella blocked.

This is awesome and there is gonna be so much fraud! All the fraud.
