Never heard of this, but it seems like an interesting idea. Probably not something I would use myself, but I wish y’all the best of luck!

Windows 10 has been sitting unused on a separate drive…

Maybe you could clarify a few things. You say Windows was on a separate drive, but then you talk about dual booting. Do you mean that Windows was on another partition on a shared drive, or do you have two separate hard drives?

If you have Mint on one hard drive and uBlue on another, seems to me what you should be looking at is adding an entry to Grub. I’ve only ever done this with Limine, but I would imagine it similarly involves editing some config and running a rebuild command to refresh Grub. There should be plenty of info about how to do this, given how old and ubiquitous Grub is.

If it’s two partitions on the same drive, it might be similar, but I don’t know.

Tbh though, I’m at a loss as to why you want to dual boot an atomic distro and a typical one. You should be able to do almost everything a normal distro can do by using Distrobox. If you prefer having total control over everything, why bother with an atomic distro? What problem are you trying to solve?

I’m with you. I think there is some value in trying to reach the people on the data-harvesting platforms, but I would rather see that coupled with an incessant campaign to guide people into the Fediverse. At the end of every post, link to an article about how to do it. Do a monthly reminder about migrating and how & why the Fediverse is better.

I genuinely appreciate the work EFF does, but I think that this move is long overdue, and they could be doing more with their platform.

Hell, you can also get Portmaster, which is still open source.

I agree, I don’t know why this bit of software is getting all this attention.

It’s not an exploit. It’s a built-in setting in Signal, and the Android options are identical to the one displayed above. You can turn off notification history in Android as well, so it has no stored record of cleared notifications at all.

Neat, I thought this one was Windows-only.

Yeah, they’re a bit territorial, so that would be something to see!

Also there are already a lot of binary blobs in the kernel, that also makes me nervous a bit.

You can compile your own kernel, you know?

Yes and no: the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prevents the government from overtly favoring one religion over another, so if they want Bible studies in public schools, they’ll have to equitably provide Catholics, Satanists, Muslims, Witches, Polytheists, etc. the same deference and inclusion in teaching materials as Protestant Christianity.

And yet none of the attempts in the last decade have stuck. Same SCOTUS.

This is just political theater.

He knows Trump can’t be long for this world, so he’s trying real hard to be a global bully.

Too bad for him, nobody buys it. He’s not attractive, he’s not funny, he’s not winsome; he’s a lame duck with no chance of filling Trump’s fetid shoes.

I doubt it. States have tried over and over again (both recently and in the past) to require the Bible, to require the 10 commandments, and on and on to no ultimate success. The Establishment Clause is clear, and this is more political theater from a Republican dominated government trying to gin up support for the midterms by creating a spectacle.

Idaho.

They’re not an activist organization. Americans United or the Freedom From Religion Foundation are the ones who will most likely be fighting this.

Thanks for this! That’s kinda what it sounded like. I’m going to have to give this a try this weekend.

Never heard of it, like ever.

Seems like such a great investment, therefore. /s

What a great April Fools puzzle!

I don’t like this April Fool’s joke. A bit too close to reality.

Just an idea:

• Get an HDD
• Use dd to clone your NVME Windows drive.
• Install Linux on your NVME.
• Boot Windows from the HDD as you find you need it (which I suspect would be a lot less than you think).
• If you find you need to go back to Windows, just reclone onto the original drive.

I bet you’ll eventually reclaim the HDD, though. I kept mine for about two years, and I nuked it last week, because I hadn’t even opened it, much less booted it, in over a year.

Can I ask about the last bit? Is it like having different dev environments or profiles, and you can just use them as needed?
