I wonder if there will be a bus promising an extra £350 million a year for the NHS if Trump colonised Greenland?

Scary thought, given how badly Starmer is doing, Farage might gain an even louder voice…

Windows on an external drive isn’t officially supported if I remember right. Your screenshot seems to support that.

Honestly, I’d be leery of installing an OS on an external drive as they tend not to age well with heavy use.

Are you trying to necro a laptop with a dead drive? If so, depending on the model, it might just be worth replacing the internal drive so then you can go ahead with your dual boot plan.

Also, quick tip, install windows, then disable fast startup in windows, then disable safeboot in your bios. Otherwise, when it comes time to install mint, you might hit issues with windows saying “NO, MY DRIVE”.

If you install mint and get no grub screen, just boot mint with your live usb and look up repairing grub - should be nice and easy.

Teaching in a school has greatly changed over the past 3 decades. It’s still a rewarding career, but not one I wanted to stick with - the pressure to work miracles is too high, and the support just isn’t there to do so.

Sounds to me like the UK should just drop all the agreements it made to avoid tariffs and give trumpler a solid kick in the balls.

Fish eye is another

Edit: as are both the guy’s eyes

Sign language bar?

God help the companies enforcing this - as soon as the first leak drops it’s going to be a pr nightmare.

I already use geany as my main DE! It’s got a lot of great features, but it’s not really a notepad app.

Notepad++ is, at its heart, a text editor.

It’s lightweight, can run portably, and has some oddly specific but useful features such as dual window linked scrolling, syntax highlighting, and even allows regex for search/replace which is neat.

You can use it for coding (I use it for short python scripts), but that isn’t it’s main use.

VScode is, primarily, an IDE - not really something you use as a plain text editor.

Both kings bongcloud, both hoping their superior grasp of theory will win the cat over to their side.

I always preferred the term “wallet warrior: dating edition” since it captures the spirit of the thing.

For those who want to stick with Windows, Notepad++ is far superior anyway.

Oddly enough, Notepad++ doesn’t really have a full featured native Linux alternative (as of my last deep search around June 2025).

Deploying traditional counter

Ad allergy - when the API went I tried default and fled screaming into Lemmy pursued by 100 “hot singles” ads.

Good and evil are subjective - the idea behind “humans are a virus” is an implied negativity. Thus the counterexample mapping to a good virus ;)

Not all viruses are evil, so it might hold up?

It’s risk vs harm:

Men suffer from higher risk (non-consensual alimony, scams, and catfishing (etc) are all too damn common) but lower harm (these are all nasty, but manageable if you look after yourself and follow basic safety).

Women suffer from lower risk (violent men are not as common as the media makes out) but much higher harm (sorry but dead or trapped in physical abuse trumps the lot, not much you can do to protect against these).

Psychology says the women are going to be a lot more cautious (we fear big losses with low odds more than small losses with high odds).

Gents, just take it on the nose that cautious ladies are playing a smart numbers game. Ladies, make sure to make it up to the gents later on in the relationship (we love chocolates too, especially the “sorry I suspected you of murder” kind).
