- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 3 weeks ago:
Personally, I would not recommend diving into Linux headfirst by installing it as your only operating system. If you can afford an additional small drive (128GB should be plenty), I would suggest buying one and installing something like Linux Mint on that, while putting Windows on your main drive.
That way, you can switch between them whenever you want to (when you turn on your computer, you can just use a menu to choose which drive to boot to), and get somewhat familiar with Linux before deciding if it’s worth your time to really dive in.
(There’s a way to put both operating systems on the same drive, but it’s really easy for something to go wrong and end up with one of the operating systems inaccessible. Since you’re inexperienced, I would avoid going that route for the time being, and just keep both on separate drives.)
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 5 weeks ago:
No, you should not “generalize” when those generalizations are negative and targeted at a specific group of people. That’s called stereotyping and is widely considered a bad thing.
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 5 weeks ago:
That’s a pretty sexist outlook. I don’t think the image makes an entire 51% of the population angry. And I think people like Jeff Bezos show that not all men require “so little to be happy”. It’s almost like genders are not hive-minds, and generalizing anything that broadly is only going to result in looking like a boomer who complains about how terrible their spouse is.

Ha, I just came here to post this! It’s seriously cool, and the Navajo’s history in the semiconductor industry is something I never knew about.
I would love a rug like that.
- Comment on File Storage on YouTube | YouTube 2 months ago:
This is such an incredibly dumb idea. If this “storage method” was to gain any traction, Google would figure out how to shut it down, either by banning accounts (removing all your data) or worse, instituting a policy of removing videos that don’t reach a certain view threshold. Just pay a few dollars for reliable storage, whether from Google or Proton or whoever you like.

Even then, anyone can use inspect element to make it look like it says whatever you want.
- Comment on Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels? 6 months ago:
Funny enough, a number of years ago a giant 4chan archive surfaced which included a lot of the very first SCP posts that had been lost. It actually confirmed that 173 was posted after Blink aired, meaning it was almost certainly inspired by the episode. Not that it makes the SCP worse, but it’s some interesting lore.
- Comment on MattKC announces plans to develop an open source DIY WiiU gampead 6 months ago:
Perhaps, but Nintendo also seems happy to let people forget that the Wii U ever existed. Also, they seem to not care as much about non-piracy/CFW releated hardware mods- take the 3DS capture card as an example, AFAIK it was never targeted by Nintendo since it very clearly was not meant to facilitate piracy.
- Comment on What do companies get out of rewards programs 6 months ago:
They don’t really need to associate it with a specific person (although I’m sure they’d love to)- they can get plenty of data just within the context of what a single person buys in their store.

First, the IRS is doing a pilot of it’s new Direct File program, which is free. Not everyone qualifies but it’s worth checking: directfile.irs.gov
If you don’t qualify, FreeTaxUSA.com is what I’ve always used. It’s dead simple, especially if you don’t have any weird tax situations like investment properties or inheritance or anything. It’s $15 for state taxes, but federal taxes are free.

You know that you don’t have to declare copyright in every comment you make, yeah? All I can think of is the "Tryin’ to make a change :-/" SMS signature meme.

Remember that MakeMKV is your friend! And that you might need to load a custom firmware onto your drive to be able to rip 4K BluRays.

How would that affect battery life? The battery would charge a little slower since some power is being used by the screen, but the slower charging would actually improve battery life slightly.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
A link to a different page that happens to have a download for something copyrighted is not itself DMCA-able. Well, in theory you could DMCA anything you want, and some companies are way too overzealous about it and fall into the “abusing the system” category, but I can’t imagine that this post would ever fall under their spotlight.
- Comment on Why do new sites embed tweets? 11 months ago:
Umm… No? That’s quite a conclusion to jump to when a quick Google search would show that no such thing exists.
- Comment on Why do new sites embed tweets? 11 months ago:
Exactly. Also, screenshots can easily be doctored. An embedded tweet could not be, since you could easily click the link to see the original tweet.

- Comment on What happens when people die with metal on or on them? 1 year ago:
Because the person you replied to is acting purposely obtuse? It’s clear that the OP was asking what is done with any non-organic materials that may be inside a person when they die. Are they removed? Are they left to be buried in the ground? What about cremation? That’s pretty obvious to anyone with above a 5th grade reading comprehension, so a snarky reply is unwarranted and obnoxious.

“Soy boy” is commonly used by MAGAs as a derogatory term to mean a feminine man. There was some rumor about how soy could mimic estrogen in the body (not really true) and so they believe that eating soy products makes men feminine. This is obviously bullshit, but maybe it’s somehow spiraled from “real men shouldn’t eat soy” into “no one should eat soy”
- Comment on Are there alternatives for RedGIFs? 1 year ago:
I would say that the images are either explicit enough for RedGIFs or safe enough for imgur. Not sure there’s really much in-between
- Comment on Are there more secure pin backs other than the subpar butterfly ones most pins come with? 1 year ago:
Not yet (I want to find a pack with a more sane quantity before ordering) but I’ve used plenty of things that are held in place with set screws over the years as an avid tinkerer and I can almost guarantee this will be much more secure than a butterfly clip
- Comment on Are there more secure pin backs other than the subpar butterfly ones most pins come with? 1 year ago:
I literally just learned that these existed when Amazon recommended them to me randomly, they use set screws so they’re much more secure than any other type I’ve tried. You can probably find them at other retailers with some searching!
- Comment on Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 1 year ago:
Holy crap! After hearing how anal Nintendo got about their character designs cause of branding after Super Paper Mario, I was positive they’d never remake this. I’m super excited!!
