Trans rights are gamer rights!

Essentially, more-or-less, broadly speaking, predominantly, etc. (for debatelords, that they may peper and solt it as they plese)

  • I finally installed Linux, but I'm having a mixed experience

  • Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

    Yes, easily done.Open KDE partition managerCreate your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.Once it's transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check "automatically mount on boot"

    You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

    In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!

  • Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

    Jump

  • Apparently I'm wrong and Pop_Os uses systemD-boot not GRUB, which is surprising to me because unless things have changed I've always thought of systemD-boot as being underpowered for a lot of use cases.

    If I'm reading the wiki correctly here, I think it's saying systemd-boot cannot launch windows because it's on another drive? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot#Boot_from_another_disk

    But on the other hand it's interesting that it's able to "see" the windows partition so I might be completely wrong.

  • Well it's there at least. Hmm. I don't know a whole lot about windows but you can certainly get back to those boot options you saw before by pressing shift while booting, which will open the GRUB options. I'd give the windows boot manager another shot from there.

    If that ends up working you can change the grub settings to wait for input instead of automatically booting pop. If that doesn't work then something is probably wrong with windows and I would just try reinstalling since it sounds like you don't have anything on there yet.

  • From Pop_OS, if you launch the "disks" program, can you see the other drive there, and the NTFS windows partition on it?

  • Vegan food: The west vs India

    Jump

  • Thanks for the warning, didn't know that was a thing!

  • Vegan food: The west vs India

    Jump

  • Oh really? I didn't know they made it without. I just checked mine and it says it has >100% of all the b complex vitamins in a serving (2 tbsp). I do live in the US but I got mine online.

  • Once you discover nutritional yeast it's hard not to get enough B12.

  • Vegan food: The west vs India

    Jump

  • When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it's only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn't a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.

    If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that's just part of your diet, so don't @ me with your natural=good nonsense.

  • I guess you don't know what a Continuous Glucose Monitor is. It's a medical device that is attached to my arm with an adhesive pad that monitors my blood sugar continuously, and reports it over bluetooth to my phone. What you're talking about is a glucometer which I also have (freestyle lite)

  • Reading my blood sugar off my CGM without taking my insulin pump out of my pocket is huge actually. I'm using a $25 pinetime for that.

  • We should make theory copypastas for propaganda

    Jump

  • What if we had something like a wikipedia for the site, with a "simple english" "no theory" mode like the real wikipedia has? That way we could all work together on it, and you could copy paste from there.

  • Would you update the widely recognized Communist symbol of hammer & sickle for the 21st century? What would you update it to?

    Jump

  • I heard a suggestion once that we use an aspen leaf as an American socialist symbol. If you don't know, a grove of aspen trees is connected at the roots. One giant organism sharing resources. As such they're the first to rebound after a fire.
