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, Dashlane for passwords 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.

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.

Honestly that is something I’ve always been ok with on Kickstarter. But it’s 50% scams now of people who never intended to deliver anything in the first place and Kickstarter is taking a lot of steps to protect the scammers in this. The only reason I ever back anything on there anymore is because of campaigns by companies I trust will at least try. I trust Pebble will try, so I personally am very tempted.

I too appreciate this potato.

Wish I could take credit. I’ve seen it around and it just fits perfectly when it comes to all those tech bro’s and the way they are acting in relation to politics and power. It’s now just part of my vocabulary.

I love Pixelfed specifically because of the artsy, visual inspiration. I dearly miss browsing through my instragram feed and getting incredibly inspired by seeing people create amazing and beautiful things, including using techniques and crafts I had never even heard of before.

Pixelfed is starting to kind of be that for me, but Reddit did some of that too. Some of the most niche crafts even had their own subreddits. I just want to be able to be inspired by my social media feed again - ideally without algorithms aiming to get me stuck there. And without the broligarchy threatening to take it away at any moment.

Sure, but I still suspect that we’ll get a large influx of crafters and other artists that will be visible in Lemmy directly. Still very much excited

This is absolutely perfect! The crowd I am following on Pixelfed is pretty much exactly what I am still partially missing on Lemmy. So excited about this. Thanks for sharing!

Also never underestimate how many bots there are. And how many users have 10+ accounts. Seeing less evidence of that on Lemmy so far, though who knows honestly.

Fair enough. Turns out while every single news article reporting on the plant scream study talks about it as “pain”, the scientists themselves made no such claims. Merely calling it “stress” in plants.

Thank you for giving me a reasonable response that made me look into it further and educated me - the way I feel like would have been beneficial initially instead of what actually happened in that vegan group.
