  • Ah yes, the cherry-pick and ad hominem.

    The previous several paragraphs were more concerning.

    For example:

    MintPress News said it was a for-profit “regular news organization,” with an initial business plan where advertising revenues would exceed costs after three years.[12] MintPress’s anonymous investors were originally intended to fund MintPress operations until 2015.[2] The editor had investors, who Muhawesh claimed were “retired businesspeople”, but she would not name them, a situation MinnPost said was “unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site’s ‘About Us’ page is similarly skinny.”[12]

    The irony of your insinuating I don’t check my sources when my comment is about precisely that is both amusing and disheartening. Shouldn’t we all exercise this caution?

    This seems like good reporting, and there is literally 0 coverage from this angle elsewhere that I could find.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Palestine and inevitably Israel. I have lobbied my congressional representatives to cease support for Israel. I voted “ceasefire” in the Democratic primary. But because I happen to think the source you chose is questionable and come from a different instance, I must support the apartheid regime.

    And indeed I chose .world in the reddit API migration when .ml was actively encouraging sign ups on other instances, please forgive my terrible oversight.

    I hope you have a better day.




  • I’ve got a similar situation to your rental for my basement (the main floor drains separately). There’s a macerator/pump combo in an 8ish gallon tank in a pit cut through the foundation (lined with concrete) that elevates to the main drain outside the house. The pump failed a couple years ago and was not fun to deal with. Luckily it was exclusively laundry that day. Everything connected to it is vented.

    When we get pushed to connect to sewer (one way or another), my plan is to get a bit silly and connect at the lowest level so we can avoid the pump for the future.





  • Obviously you should relearn everything. Heck, pick up the Dvorak or Colemak keyboard layout while you’re at it!

    That toshy thing looks like the right way to go. Wild that this is such a complex issue.

    I had to go the other direction (Linux -> apple) for a bit and ended up remapping the caps lock key to command so I could approximate “normal” reflexive (pinky-based) shortcuts. It did sort of simplify copy-pasting in terminals.


  • The other commenter is giving good advice, but I think they’re knee-jerking a bit hard on the arch base. I presented 3 gaming oriented distributions. All have guardrails. All are opinionated. All are fully featured, user-friendly experiences.

    Yes, arch (by itself) is a bad idea as a solution, but so is gentoo, and so is Debian testing.

    I believe the issues they’re so concerned about actually apply to every rolling release distro like the others, but it’s the only way you’re going to get OOTB support for the 9700xt until the major release distributions catch up.

    Linux users have strong feelings and often let perfect at any expense get in the way of good enough and cheap. This is a demonstrably negative experience for new users.
