  • Not op. I installed windows 10 on my custom built desktop and my kids custom built desktop, on VM, etc. Have not had a problem and it was pretty simple overall. I’m sure some folks do have issues, though. Shit happens. Is windows 11 shittier for install? I’ve never had the desire to try :)

    I’ve also installed various Linux distros on the above and a few other computers (Mint, Nobara, Fedora). Aside from Mint not working with my AMD RX 6600, no problems there either, really. And these distros installed easily.

    Again, ymmv. I knew Mint would probably fail because the 5.19 kernel does not seem to like my GPU. That’s why I switched to Nobara in the first place (iirc the 6.x kernel wasn’t available at the time)










  • FWIW it is doable :) since I have Fedora (37) and a separate /home and / device. Btrfs in my case.

    How did you deal with the home sub volume?

    I will edit this with hopefully useful info about my fstab etc. in a few min…

    — okey dokey —

    Here’s my fstab. I had to comment out the home subvol and mount /home

    UUID=02b32afc-3e05-412b-8781-xxx /                       btrfs   subvol=root,compress=zstd:1 0 0
    UUID=e82e80a8-b169-4127-90ad-xxx /boot                   ext4    defaults        1 2
    UUID=D358-0ADF          /boot/efi               vfat    umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
    #UUID=02b32afc-3e05-412b-8781-xxx /home                   btrfs   subvol=home,compress=zstd:1 0 0
    /dev/disk/by-uuid/7b194608-a407-4c2c-a0d8-xxx /home auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
    

    Permissions on /home mount point (before mounting device to mountpoint):

    $ ls -la /home
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   0 Jan  5 20:47 .
    dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 166 Feb 27 18:36 ..
    
    $ sudo getfacl home
    # file: home
    # owner: root
    # group: root
    user::rwx
    group::r-x
    other::r-x
    

    Relevant output from df

    $ df

    $ ls -ldZ /home/mes

    # file: home/mes

    group::r-x
    other::r-x
    

    Let me know if I can give any additional info.









  • That thread is some wild shit. Certainly makes me stop and think about some things. Which is good.

    So like, what’s wrong with showing a black Pope? Why should we assume hypothetical Popes can’t be black? Pope Francis appointed the first black cardinal, Wilton Daniel Gregory. It’s bound to happen one day. And I don’t think it hurts for people to be presented with that possibility. I think that’s good. Of course the Catholic church is problematic but this isn’t about that. Like, asking for a pic of someone in a position of power should absolutely show diverse people.

    But like… In terms of historical accuracy it seems just as insane to show ethnically diverse Vikings as it would be to show ethnically diverse Mongols, Cheyenne, Zulus, Bolsheviks, etc. Right? Now if I ask for pics of fantasy-world Vikings (etc) then go for it.

    Asking for a scientist in his lab…yeah I’m ok with AI going, “fuck you, women can be scientists too, sexist asshole.” 😆 Is it truly necessary to reflect someone’s bias back at them? And so what if it shows all women? If it does, now the men asking know how it feels to feel unrepresented. (It might be problematic if men are never, ever, ever shown no matter hoe many times you ask).

    Speaking of, I can imagine it would be fucking annoying for my identity to be ignored by AI. More of the same shit after years of being underrepresented everywhere else, right? So hey great, don’t fall into the trap of training the AI on biased data and having it spit out biased results.

    Of course …elves and pixies and gnomes apparently are all white… Smh.

    Imagine growing up in a world where comics and media and everything else never shows anyone like you. Fuck that. That’s fucking dumb. And boring. Show me different people. I like different people.

    But this Gemini thing? I mean ok, It’s good they tried to be more inclusive. But I think they did it kind of ham-handedly. They need to go back and think about this quite a bit harder. It feels like a forced afterthought. It’s giving “oh, shit, everyone is white, quick, slap some diversity on it so we don’t get in trouble” vibes.
