yup. works very well. been using it whenever an image fails to boot properly on my multiboot usb…

i hate siding with a megacorp like disney, but eric idle says it best (2018 version):

the bits for the ‘upgrade’ have been flowing-in through regular updates for months, with features left disabled… slowing those updates every single month. the upgrade time was just spread out in installments, instead of being paid all at once.

they were on a street that is also carries state and u.s. highway designation, just past the municipal boundary. small town here, there literally are no ‘subdivisions’ or hoa anywhere around.

just walking a mile down a road i haven’t been down in years, i spotted two of them. there’s been absolutely no local coverage about it… and scanning local municipal and town meeting minutes for the last several years–not one mention of them.

lastpass is already on my ‘stay far away from’ list, and have been on it for years:

a doctor scheming to put the lardass-in-chief on the unapproved drug could maybe… possibly… i dunno… be less than honest…

‘sales tax’ is collected and remitted to the state by merchants, but paid by the customer.

during my k12, we went from PET to apple II and gs (apple was wizards at selling their junk to schools), and finally getting out from under apple and adding a few 386s at the end.

he actually fits all four squares here. approach with caution

here in the midwest, i see random packages of frozen game meat from the food pantry every now and then. usually venison, sometimes bear… elk once, even. and not always packaged by a commercial meat locker, either.

i pieced together a comparable 2tb on pcpartpicker, using the cheapest reputable choices and vendors. it was about $200-250 less for the pc (without an os) in a standard matx tower form factor.

‘hybrid sleep’ does write the hibernate file before going into ‘sleep mode’. if you have an older system or one that doesn’t use ‘modern standby’ and you have an ssd, you might want to double-check that setting in your power scheme advanced settings.

the culprit is actually probably “fast startup” which writes a hibernate file every shutdown. every “normal” ‘shutdown’… close programs, logoff, hibernate, power off. this feature is unnecessary on systems with ssd but it continues to be enabled by default. it was created in the days of old to make hdd systems appear to boot up faster by not actually starting up windows on every power on.

hibernate isn’t enabled by default.

the other writer of hibernate data, hybrid sleep, doesn’t even exist on a newer system that uses ‘modern standby’… but is enabled by default on desktops that do not.

acrobatics on horseback is most definitely a thing. and it’s absolutely crazy the stunts they can pull off.

uh, oh. i bought two extra pair when i found some that actually fit and were ‘affordable’. still wearing the first pair, so these other two have yet to be taken out of the bags they came home from the store in. that was almost two years ago.

you’re on the right track, i think, but not bazzite–that carries a lot of extra stuff that isn’t necessary here. just ordinary fedora silverblue. clean up the app grid or put dash-to-dock on it and put the few launchers they need down on that. gnome is actually a good desktop for basic users that just need to run one or a few applications. updates are somewhat frequent but should be almost entirely automatic.

i have a few users like your parents on endless os, which is similar to silverblue, just based on an in-house immutable debian instead of silverblue’s fedora base. i rarely ever hear from them, it ‘just works’. i also have it at home, it’s currently my only linux desktop there (i do most my ‘work’ at the office, home is just doom-scrolling and media for the most part these days). updates are less frequent but endless is switching to a gnome os base with the next major version. that will probably increase the frequency of updates a bit compared to their older debian base. that upgrade to v7 should be mostly invisible to the user, they’ve done a good job in the past with upgrades.

many were there first, long before microsoft bought the site. but now? yea. why tf are people still using it.

and then there’s also this.
