I mean, he seems to be hinting at that now, but he can’t really do anything else. “Whoops. Didn’t think this button I pushed would do that” is just not something he is able to say, even if it might be true. Then again it would be difficult doing something this extreme accidentally I would think.

If China stops exporting these to the US that should influence the trade deficit in the way Trump is looking for, right? Isn’t that what this was supposed to do according to Trump? So he should be happy about this, right? Because it’ll bring the manufacturing of the minerals home? /s

Technically I’m still on it. I just stopped interacting there. Might post on some of the niche crafting subreddits sometimes in the future because I miss those on here. For everything else Lemmy is far superior. Decided to “switch over” when I found out that half of my comments and posts got shadowbanned.

Thanks, I’ll look into that!

I’m loving mailbox.org as an alternative to Gmail and Magic Earth as a replacement for Google Maps. Also I’ve been using Ecosia - both the browser and the search engine. Sadly the search engine is just a reskinned bing, but they are involved in the project of making the first real EU based search engine. And once that’s out I’m looking forward to using that.

Good call. I have 2 hard dives and really thought that if I didn’t touch the win 11 drive it couldn’t possibly cause windows issues. Lol. Not making that mistake again.

Good for you! Nuking windows is indeed the end goal. Dual boot for me is a proof of concept as a step on the way.

I use a lot of adobe programs, like photoshop, illustrator and Lightroom. The standard MS office stuff and a bunch of games both via steam and the EA AppStore, some of which are windows only. Mind you, I know most if not all should work using wine (or similar) or have good alternatives. But I’d rather try first before nuking windows.

What I can mainly find about Austrialia is that that a local LGBTIQ+ organization called “Equality Australia” has released a 5 page document to warn people.

I tried setting up a dual boot Mint next to my Win 11 last night. Just so I can experiment with getting all the (replacement) programs of my Win 11 install to work on there… froze during install and was busy for hours getting my boot files for Win 11 back.

I’m not a technical genius or anything and now I’m scared to try again. I assume it’s way easier if I would just rip the bandaid off and do it in one go. Sadly too much relies on me still being able to use the computer close to the way I could before. Ah well. Another day, another chance to nuke the boot files.

I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.

Are you saying that the Verge is not a news website? Because I’m pretty sure that the removed post was a link to a perfectly good article.
