Doesn’t rclone work?

All those gains that were made in the 2010s? We’re at real risk of losing them as corporations try and triangulate their way to maximum revenue.

After Anheueser Busch welched, the right smelled blood in the water.

The progressive left is going to need to fight very hard and make a lot of allies because we’re so very close to snapping back to the 1990s, if not the 1950s.

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)

It’s amazing how only one side doesn’t want to appear partisan, while the other one is openly talking about jailing opponents, dissidents and the media…

…and we’re still getting “both sides” bullshit.

This is why the entire country of Canada is called Canada.

It’s called the Information Deficit Hypothesis.

And yes, it’s been proven wrong.

When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they’re supposed to do?

HP laptops–at least business-grade ones–are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.

Pirate an old, pre-CC version.

That’s what I do. Admittedly it’s Photoshop 3.0 on a Mac Quadra.

There’s one notice, and it’s in the System Settings app. And it’s a little red dot beside the iCloud section. That’s not really the same league as what Microsoft is doing, or Even Google’s nag to use Chrome across all their Web properties.

You’re right about the first-party apps that you can’t remove, but it’s also not the same as, eg, Edge where those apps are used constantly and your preferences are reset on every update.

On my Mac I set my browser to Firefox in 2018. It’s never reverted to Safari, not once, where Windows really wants me to use Edge and goes so far as to not just reset it periodically, but also direct start menu searches and in-app web links to an ms-edge: url instead of using the http handler.

Apple has problems, but this isn’t one of them.

Microsoft would like to introduce you to EntraID.

That’s the enterprise version of this.

Apple doesn’t actually make it at all difficult to use a Mac or iOS device without an Apple account. You’re asked once during setup and that’s it. At most there’ll be a red dot in Settings>iCloud.

The market has solved it.

You just don’t realize what the market has solved for. It didn’t solve the problem of expensive healthcare, it solved the problem of how to maximize profits for the wealthy.

That’s what people don’t understand about “the market”. What you think it’s doing isn’t what it’s actually doing.

Remove a wheel, seat and/or handlebars when you lock up. A lot, and I mean a lot, of bikes are stolen out of convenience, and not having a wheel means that someone can’t easily ride it away.

This won’t deter a motivated Igor Kenk-style thief that steals tens of bikes a day, but it’ll make you less of an opportunity to casual addicts looking to for a ride for the night or something they can flip for cash or drugs.

Ah, didn’t know that. I haven’t done a new install–just upgrades–on a laptop since either Squeeze or Jessie.

Did you use the Debian edition of Mint? Debian doesn’t include a lot of proprietary drivers and/or firmware blobs with its standard edition.

I can’t say that’s the case here, but it’s possible that Mint is either using Debian as a base, or at least following the Debian Free Software Guidelines.

There’s usually a nonfree firmware deb you can use, post installation. If you can complete the install and connect to the internet via the 7480’s Ethernet port, you should be able to get the wifi card working.

Because reducing the amount you buy is not an option, per capitalism.

An example from the debate around climate change: Plan cities that don’t require driving? Bad. Replace cars we already own with EVs? Good.

So now that microplastics are the new hotness, industry is going to run the same plays they did when climate change became critical: blaming and shaming us for their mistakes, and trying to sell us more stuff to work around the problem they created.

I’d love a new washer and dryer, but I live in an apartment and don’t get a choice and I can’t buy a house because housing is now an investment vehicle. I’d love to hang out my clothes to dry, but because we’ve gutted healthcare, social services and housing, they get stolen by homeless and/or addicts. I’d love to not have to wash clothes as often, but I have to go into the office and look “presentable” because we can’t have commercial real estate lose value by having people work from home.

How about we stop shaming people and bust the proverbial balls of capitalism instead?
