Ah, so he’s a daddy

I’ve done basically the same thing with my computer. While I was still stuck with Windows, my main installation broke and took ages to boot. I installed another copy onto the same disk to run some software, then dual (triple?) booted with Mint.

Mine are all on the same physical disk, but the process should be the same.

The Mint bootloader took over from Windows, and presents me with a menu on boot. The default choice is Mint, which automatically boots after a few seconds, but it gives me a few options, one of which is the Windows bootloader. If I choose this, it gives me the same options as before I installed Mint, so lets me boot into either installation.

It goes without saying, but make a backup before you change anything, and remember that Boot Repair is available for most Linux distros :)

Holy shit, I think I love your parents 🤣

I mostly agree, but some small communities, many years ago, would go by oldest, continuing from where you left off last time. That was fantastic for the sort of place where you wanted to read everything for whatever reason. If that could be put in on a community basis, it would be great :)

I’m using Mint with a 3060 on my PC, and my wife has Mint installed with one of the very old low powered cards, a gt 710 I think. Neither of us have had problems with them 🤷🏻‍♂️

then go to the backwards time dimension and grow younger.

You might want to watch the end of that episode and see what happens to the cat first…

It’s a fantastic song, but the title is just Hurricane :)

I believe there’s a movie of the story too :)

That would be good because it would potentially explain some other conspiracy theories too, like the world didn’t end at y2k because we haven’t reached it yet. You could milk that for a while

I’m only just watching King of the Hill for the first time, and just saw the constipation episode. It would quite neatly explain Worf’s preference for prune juice.

If you haven’t already, give RawTherapee a try. I can’t compare it to Lightroom, but I find it a lot easier to use than Darktable.

Have you tried RawTherapee instead of Darktable? They both do pretty much the same thing, but I find RawTherapee much easier to use :)

It’s a ‘dumb’ solution, but you might be better off with a key safe. My mother in law uses one, and it lets the family have access if she’s working or on holiday and something needs doing.

The PIN can be changed quite easily, and there’s no chance of being locked out due to a power / battery failure.

f you’re using Ubuntu or Linux Mint, Zorin, PopOS, install the ubuntustudio package for pipewire (can’t remember how it’s called you need to search for it). It sets up pipewire audio correctly, so more plugins/apps work out of the box (without it, for example, Bitwig studio doesn’t even make a peep…).

Thanks for adding this 🙂

I’ve just started playing around with Hydrogen, the drum machine, as well as some video editing. I’m in the process of switching to Mint, but hadn’t heard of the ubuntustudio package at all.

If we had decent privacy, they could be amazing. Imagine something like Facebook, the way it used to be advertised, that could identity your friends and give you some of the information they’ve chosen to share with you.

Instead of trying to frantically remember your friend’s new partner’s name, you get a subtle name bar above their head. Maybe you get a reminder about their birthday, or a life event they’ve shared.

Unfortunately though, we’re currently stuck with the shitty version that going to extract all the data it can, and sell it to whoever can afford it :(

I’ve tried ChatGPT a few times to see if it’s useful for me, and it’s worked surprisingly well in most cases.

I made a website that needed two modal images, one on the top and one on the bottom. I wanted them to be enlarged when they were clicked on. I found a load of guides for getting one to work, but I couldn’t get both to work. A few minutes with a prompt got it working. It didn’t help me to learn JavaScript, but did give me working code that I needed quickly.

I’ve used it to fluff up some text. I’m not very good at making things sound good in text, so it helped a lot.

The latest one I’ve tried is getting camera settings for a dark gig setup. I was able to give it an old photo that was under exposed but gave an accurate impression of the room, and ask for recommended settings with the same lens, a new lens, and a flash. It gave me a selection of settings with and without the flash, including settings for rear curtain sync, so when it leaves a ghost trail behind the subject. It’s nothing I couldn’t figure out, but would have taken a bit more trial and error in the room. I probably wouldn’t have thought of the ghost trails.

If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, opening a link will take you to the link’s instance, like opening a new website. This will mean that you need to log in to post etc.

If you use Lemmy through an app, that should handle the links and make it essentially work like one big website. You can open links from any part of Lemmy and be able to post and comment from your existing account.

The only issue may be the fact that you’re on .ml. Some instances have blocked .ml and a few other instances because of what are basically political differences. That will restrict where you can post, and could be part of your issue.

Born to work on a mining / ore processing station while being taken advantage of by people from a far off planet? It certainly sounds like it!

I don’t know how to do it on Android, but look into variable bit rate (VBR) rather than 320 kb/s. 320 kb/s is a constant bit rate (CBR), and means that silence is given the same quality and detail as the busiest track, and takes up space for no reason.

The highest VBR setting, V0, is indistinguishable from 320, but saves space. Depending on your ears and the phone speakers, you might be able to drop the quality slightly and save more space 👍
