If the group is for ovarian cancer sufferers and they require a diagnosis to participate, discriminating on sex is just needless complexity. Why open up ambiguity (e.g. for intersex cancer sufferers) when it’s already determined by the diagnosis?

Depends entirely on your distro. Some distros, within weeks, other distros will take up to a few years. Just depends on whether your distro prioritizes bleeding edge or stability.

/dev/md127 is probably a raid 1 from a previous installation. Assuming you don’t need the data on it, you can either delete or ignore it.

I’m not familiar with this exact installer, but I have installed Debian a bunch before. Judging by what I’m seeing here, you probably need to do a bit of manual labor. I’m guessing you first create partition tables (usually gpt), then raid partitions, then combine them into a raid, and maybe then put lvm on top of that again, and finally a filesystem. If you’re planning to go the lvm route you probably want to create a smaller raid on the start of the disk for /boot (250-500MB should suffice) separate from the lvm, because last I checked you can’t boot from an lvm volume.

They were attractive until they started talking.

Person of the Year is not an endorsement of their practices, it’s really just whoever dominated the news cycle that year. Both Hitler and Stalin have been Person of the Year. Sometimes it’s not even people, like “The Computer” in 1982.

Depends. Employees can be forced to sell their shares. There are also other scenarios where shareholders are forced to sell for other reasons.

I hate Facebook as much as the next guy, but they did create React, as well as some other contributions.

I’m guessing the old CPU was simply defective, and they needed to replace it to install any os.

I never heard of that, and I doubt it happened. Apple won’t touch anything with a GPL license.

You should be able to set up letterboxing using either xrandr or your window manager, although I got pretty unsatisfactory results when I searched for “xrandr letterboxing”.

What are you using to draw on the screen? That would determine how best to achieve this. I’d expect it to be doable regardless, but the path there would be different.

It was in 2005, these days people tend to recommend Mint to the beginners.

They know exactly what they’re doing and how people feel about it.

They haven’t made money on Windows in years. Nobody has been willing to pay for a new version of Windows since XP. What they do make money on is cloud services. So Windows is a loss leader.

Just like the cheap rotisserie chicken at Costco is there to make you walk past and look at everything else they’re selling, the modern role of Windows is to funnel people towards Microsoft cloud services, which is what makes them money. Step 1 of that process is to make sure you create a Microsoft account.

One of two things happened:

• They implemented it just now, and it’s nice of them to ask

Or:

• They’ve been doing it for years, and now legal told them they need to ask

That doesn’t make it better.

The first thing a novice user learns is to slap sudo in the front if they don’t have access to do something.

You could also try live-booting Debian and see if it works out of the box.

Yeah, if I met you I’d never know! It could be one of thousands others with the same hat!

Surely, what they need is an upgraded and more expensive VR headset.

I certainly did as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s. I found dirty magazines before I had access to the Internet, and after I visited both pornsites and outright gore like rotten.com. None of it harmed me in any way.

If anything, the various shock sites we were tricked into seeing, like goatse, tub girl, lemon party and 2 girls 1 cup were worse, but even those weren’t too bad, and I appreciate understanding the cultural references to them.

The real question is whether seeing some porn is actually a problem. I’d argue not, provided there’s also sex ed teaching you that porn does not model healthy sex or relationships.

Dude, most other countries, bar the dictatorships, have more changes happening than the US. Most other countries don’t have two-party systems with filibusters, debt ceilings disconnected from the budget, and whatever else.

Any country implementing parliamentarism, especially those not implementing first past the post, will have a lot less stalemates, because there are multiple other parties to make horse trades with. Do you have experience with any other country’s system of governance?
