As a former ADHD kid myself (as in, former kid, still ADHD), I would at least worry about how the condition might affect their academic, social, and emotional development. I was an unfortunate Gifted Kid and picked up a lot of knowledge from cartoons (back when cartoons had educational value), but that came with the cost that I never learned discipline, and never learned how to study. I know that my consistently falling test scores confused and devastated my parents.

But all that was two decades ago. I hope that ADHD is more understood now and kids don’t have to remain undiagnosed and untreated.

That is literally the central plot of Gemini Home Entertainment.

That’s a fair point. I rarely read comments on news articles, but morbid curiosity overpowered my self-preservation instinct.

The comments under the article are a special kind of braindead.

Exhibit #1 of why every vote counts and every voter is needed.

I tried dual-booting Win10 and Arch for a few months. It was problematic.

I had to set the clock every time I switched because one expected the hardware clock to use UTC time and the other expected local time.

NTFS on Linux is not good. The driver works, but there are fundamental differences between NTFS and Unix-like filesystems that makes cooperation difficult (e.g. NTFS uses ACLs instead of the user/group ownership and user/group/others permissions of Unix). Windows also places additional restrictions on the filesystem (e.g. NTFS supports file names that contain :, Windows doesn’t) that can completely bork the volume if violated.

But the worst offender, and what made me nuke Windows entirely, is Windows Update. It completely fucked up the boot partition, deleted the bootloader, then died and left Windows unusable.

These are all issues that can be solved, if you know how to solve them. My advice is to go cold turkey and delete Windows from your life.

Leah Rowe probably hasn’t stopped laughing since this was published.

YOUR BODY BETRAYS YOUR DEGENERACY.

(edit) I assume you’re mounting the NTFS volume using fstab, which is how you should mount internal drives. If you’re trying to use the file manager to mount it dynamically, you really should look into how to use the fstab file.

I’d like to see your mount options.

As others have said, it’s best to explicitly mount it with the rw option.

Second, because NTFS doesn’t understand the Unix-like file ownership of users and groups, you have to specify the UID and GID of the mounted filesystem using the uid= and gid= mount options. If you don’t specify these, all files within the NTFS volume will appear as being owned by root. Use the uid=1000,gid=1000 options to mount the volume as owned by your user.

Third, use the windows_names option as well. Otherwise the filesystem will allow you to create files with illegal names, and that will completely fuck up the volume when mounted on Windows. For example, the : character is permitted by NTFS, but not by Windows.

Although, in general, just avoid using NTFS on Linux if you can. The driver is good, but there are too many basic conceptual differences between NTFS and most Linux filesystems.

If you can’t find the motivation to start doing a lengthy task (like cleaning the house, gardening, or working on a project), force yourself to do it only for 30 minutes. It’s not an unreasonably long time. By the end, you’ll either have gained enough momentum to keep going and finish it, or if not, you’ve still made 30 minutes of progress.

A boring release is the best kind of release. It means that most of the effort went into stability, compatibility, and bugfixes.

If you want updates to be exciting, install Arch, but only update it once every six months. You can even run bets on which system inroduces some breaking change that forces you to reach into its guts.

Server admins across the world now consider you a threat.

Do people actually believe Apple’s hogwash about privacy?

I know this is fake because he wouldn’t just say he hated it, he’d definitely try to claim it’s some kind of woke democrat psy-op.

I choose Skynet. Can I choose Skynet?

“You kneel at my throne, unaware it was built of lies.”

Mine was “why can’t you be as hard-working as (whichever kid got the highest score)?”. Unless that kid was me, then it was suddenly irrelevant. Did fucking wonders to my work ethic.

My setup is two screens side by side and one above. KDE Plasma 6.1 can handle it without issues, and you can make panels on any screen.

One of the most significant drawbacks of Wayland is feature fragmentation between compositors. Unlike the X11 stack of X.Org server + window manager + compositor, Wayland compositors have to implement all of Wayland in themselves. They have to serve as the display servers, plus manage window positioning, plus render the clients, and all of that within the confines of Wayland-protocols. Building a compositor is a massive task, which is why middleware like wlroots is such a big deal. It also means that WM-agnostic tools like xrandr and xdotool are more difficult, sometimes impossible to implement.

Consider that Wayland is still heavily under development, and that new protocols have to be implemented by every compositor separately, and that the development of wayland-protocols is an ongoing fucking trainwreck – fragmentation is inevitable, and some compositors will not have the same functionality as others (GNOME being a particularly nasty sandbag). Similarly, things that don’t work as expected in one compositor might work perfectly fine in another.

Right now I would consider KDE Plasma to be the most feature-complete compositor that is also beginner-friendly.

Meanwhile you get the one thing X has: It works.

You mean I’ve been doing everything, from work through CGI to gaming (with 120 FPS mind you) on a display that doesn’t work?

Wayland has many issues, sure, but it’s not even close to the point where “it works” can be used to distinguish it from other display protocols. We (and by we I mean anyone willing to dedicate their life to it) could do a lot to bring X11 up to modern expectations, but it’s just not worth the effort. X11 will outlive the cockroaches, but claiming that Wayland is not a functional display protocol is incorrect and uninformed.

X has been around forever, it sucks

That right there. X11 was released in the mid-80s and has become an unmaintainable patchwork of additions. Nobody wants to develop or maintain the code because changing one thing breaks five others.

Wayland also takes advantage of 3D acceleration, since each window is a plane rendered in 3D space. There’s no longer a choice between massive input lag with a compositor and massive screen tearing without.
