Jesus Christ can you at least be accurate?

Speaking of accuracy, your comment seems to identify the wrong issue. Navigating the install menus in a non-Arch linux distro is pretty much analogous to Windows. The biggest difference is that Linux distros don't have 3-4 pages where they sneakily try to include privacy-breaching clauses during the installation.

The real issue is starting the installation in the first place. Windows is easy, because hardware manufacturer's have en masse bent over to willingly present themselves to Microsoft, Linux doesn't have this advantage and users must figure out how to get around the 7,000 different Secure Boot UEFI configurations before they can even start the installation process.

forgot they call weed drug

~~Clearly you didn't, because weed is completely unrelated to this story. You saw the word 'drug' and assumed it must mean 'marijuana'.~~

Edit: You know what, this response was pretty dickish. Sorry. Ignore the above.

Some people down vote popular things because they are popular.

Didn't downvote this myself, but I can understand why some people would. I have personally blocked numerous users and communities who post variations of the exact same post over and over and over again.

There are only so many times I can read the same bloody thing about Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Israel, and Linux.

I agree. Trump/Musk/Netanyahu are arseholes. Linux is awesome. But I don't bloody well want to read a variation of the same post every single time I access Lemmy.

I can't think of a single VR game that has come out that felt like a fully fleshed out game. The games I've played the most have all been ports (e.g. Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Forest) because native VR games are typically only 3-6 hours long.

Meta really make it annoying to use too. My next headset will definitely not be a Meta.

I promise you that koala is not being pensive, it's probably just constipated; koalas aren't really known for their intellect.

Though being constipated is unfortunate because that means its babies are probably going to starve (koalas feed their shit to their young).

They're really doing everything in their power to destroy their own business model, aren't they?

No idea why Australia is orange

The map is pretty misleading tbh. For Australia, it looks like it's using data from 20 years ago and takes into account the entire population from that period.

For perspective, in 2023 only 2.48% of male children were circumcised.

Personally, the only people I'm aware of who are circumcised were circumcised in a different country before migrating to Australia.

Magic. That is the only way they can enforce this drivel.

Absolute stupidity and a waste of taxpayers' money spending so much time on this nonsense.

These incompetent morons are pretty much guaranteeing that they will lose the next election. In the middle of a housing and inflation crisis this is what these fuckheads decided was important.

I loathe the opposition, but it's hard to defend the sheer incompetence the Labor Party has displayed their entire term.

Hi.

Does anyone know why is there a red cross on the icon here?

This device is a Corsair USB flash drive. I initially thought it may be because the data was corrupted as there were a couple of years where it remained unconnected and I know SSD does not like that. But I formatted the drive (ExFAT) and it still shows up with a red cross in Nemo file manager.

Any idea what this actually means?

Thanks for any insight.
