I want to install Debian directly onto my USB drive. Is there an easy way to do this directly without having to reboot to run the installer?

Broken hinges legitimately should not be a thing, but here we are (thanks capitalism.)

Which gaming laptops can people buy and be sure that their hinges will not break even after many years of normal use? I'm fine with paying more if it avoids repairing or replacing it before it's past its usefulness.

I have one of those basic motor kits you can buy off of Amazon. I was wondering what steps I should take to make it so that I can turn the motor on/off with the press of a button, wirelessly.

I'm still very new, so any information you can offer no matter how basic will probably be useful to me.

If it's funded by taxes, it should be owned by the public.

Can't make jokes without getting deported from Australia?

Politics really is just a show for morons.

You legitimately don't need a lot of employees to make a good product or have a successful company.

I genuinely believe a lot of the bloat in modern companies comes from hiring people just to hire them, not because they add any significant value to either the company or customers.

The controller I'm using shuts off after about 5 minutes of idle time. I tried adjusting the value in Steam, but it doesn't have any effect.

Does anyone know where this value may be stored or how I can change it to be much longer?

I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

Whenever I left click over something that I can potentially interact with, I have to try several times before the prompt appears.

Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know of a solution?

Venezuela had glaciers?

It was based on debian, but moved to arch.

I think they did it because honestly, arch is better for desktop-usage due to its rolling-release model.

Bugs in debian stick around forever.

Is being a massive cunt a requirement if you want to be a GNOME developer?

Yep.

What the fuck?

Fuck zionists and their disproportionate amount of control over the world.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 29 points 4 months ago

No way. That's exactly what the IDF accuses Hamas of doing!

Every accusation is admittance of guilt when dealing with zionists.

They are right-wing religious nationalists. Just like nazis and republicans.

What? Lunchables are expensive as hell and have practically no nutrition!

Sounds like someone's palms were being greased to get them in schools.

I don't understand.

It's okay to discriminate against men but not transgender women?
