Windows 10 loses support today, and a lot of computers can’t upgrade to Windows 11. Linux is the solution, but it can be difficult for beginners.
We’re happy to help! Hit us up by DM, phone, or email and we will help you install Linux on your old Windows 10 machine.
This service will be pay what you want - if you need it free, it’s free, if you want to tip us, tip us.
We’d recommend the following:
- a USB thumb drive at least 8GB in size you can erase everything on it
- a backup hard drive to store all your data, just in case
- an afternoon
Good Linux starter distros:
- Linux Mint
- Elementary OS
- Fedora Workstation
- Bazzite(best for gaming PCs)
Back up the data on your Windows machine by copying C:\Users\ (your username or account folder) to an external drive. If there’s more than one account, copy them too.
@RatFriend We can not only do the thing, we've been doing it for longer than the kids, let's show them something to aspire to
@bagelcollie Time for an extended support bra
@thufie Ordinarily I'd be concerned that this is being used to curate scraping content for AI datasets, but the bubble's bursting so who cares \o/
You can report AI generated slop web results in duckduckgo under the triple-dots "caterpillar menu". This improves the spam reduction capability of https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ and other searches with an AI-generated content filter enabled. So at least no other human has to see that nonsense again.
@vapor Yeah, rotating cylinders were popular for artificial gravity, I just had the thought of rotating space itself instead
@amandac It's okay, I told them there are treats at the flea caravan!
I'm looking for a lawyer, specialising in contract law, specifically one that is licensed in the state of Illinois, USA. Someone friendly to free software and knowledgeable about technology in terms of legal matters.
Preferably pro bono, but I'd be willing to pay reasonable rates. Nothing concrete yet, but I seek a consultation.
If you or someone you know meets my criteria, please contact me on info@minifree.org
Time is of the essence, if I'm to proceed with my plans.
Death Mention, Family
@KelethDragon I'm so sorry, that is so sudden. I'm glad you had the chance to connect with her like that even to the end. You have my condolences
@amandac They tend to wander so I'll put them away somewhere safe--OH NO HORNET BROKE THEM OUT
@Nine @NanoRaptor rip the battery out of the poll!
@Anke Maybe? I remember there being a ship that was propelled by equations in Gunbuster...
Wait, I remember I also met a cool mage and reunited with another, the latter of which was literally just Carmine from Solatorobo, and they each gave me athames
Even further from this random thought
I don't even know where this thought came from tbh. My dreams were about picking up a Wii U that got sent to a fictional hotel I stayed at briefly
While half-dreaming, my brain produced the thought that artificial gravity could be created by rotating space around a vessel, creating centripetal force without changing its orientation.
That sounds entirely unnecessary but it's funny
Question and/or maybe help:
I would *really* like to get off YouTube and shift my video scrolling to #peerTube but the cognitive/executive function hump to get there is beyond me.
Would it be possible for somebody else to set me up an account on an appropriate server (I might have a few vids to share myself) and find a bunch of fun follows (ppl nerding out in their special interests n whatnot) and then transfer the account over to me?
Is that logistically feasible?
Anybody wanna do it?
