"I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community," Sheriff Owens said. "At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call."

His excuse seems to be that anyone could have called the police on the Burger King employees for giving someone the wrong order, to which I would say:

1. Thats still an enormous dick move and

B. Do you think that deputies would have rushed across town to deal with just any random crank, angry at a Burger King?

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

You're absolutely right. Everyone will be very worried and talk about the importance of security in the enterprise and yada yada yada until a cool new AI spreadsheet software comes out and everybody forgets to even check if their firewall is turned on.

But with that being said, if you have been looking for a good time to ask for cybersecuity funding at your org, see if you can't lock down 5 years worth of budget while everyone is aware of the risk to their businesses.

Ambien, not even once.

This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you'd have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

Don't forget USB On the Go protocols! shudders

A full desk-size mouse pad.

If you work at a desktop it makes a huge difference to overall ergonomics.

Also the squatty potty. Especially if you have a high toilet.

I think a lot of people get caught up in wanting Linux to "win" be getting more market share or getting XYZ software ported to Linux but Linux is doing great. Unlike Microsoft aggressively pushing Windows and sacrificing their own users on the altar of market share, Linux can just be.

More share would be great and greater software availability would be awesome but Linux doesn't need to "beat" Windows or Mac to be useful or relevant or good. It already is. And I for one look forward to any new DE's that anyone wants to make.

It would be nice to get some kind of more usable CAD program on Linux though but it's not up to Pop_OS to do that, it's up to Autodesk or a team of extremely talented FOSS programmers or a Blender Foundation situation where the whole industry commits to a new open standard.

Who knew the post Barbenheimer saviour of cinema would be Taylor Swift. She is also single-handedly expanding the NFL's fan base.

Is there anything she can't do?

I always took it to stand for Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement where people spent a bunch of money on a cheap can just to make it look cool without adding any actual functionality.

This is a great point. Anyone that says that the MacBook is a piece of crap has never used one (other than the first gen 12 inch MacBook) they are awesome and the design is great.

MacOS on the other hand really gets on my nerves and all of their anti-consumer stuff is enough for me to avoid them entirely. I won't even call them overpriced because a PC similarly equipped with a monitor as nice as theirs is just as much.

I wish there was a hardware designer as good as Apple on the PC side but because they are so good people excuse abhorrent business practices. You don't see people vehemently defending stupid things that Dell does for instance.

God I really hate to see Oracle involved. Everything they touch turns into an IP lawsuit.

If they really loved open source so much they wouldn't have close-sourced ZFS and OpenSolaris in 2010 after they were already open source.

CIQ and Rocky are solid but remember just because Oracle is the enemy of the enemy doesn't make them even close to a friend.
