    If you install Linux first and then Windows on the same drive, it will fuck up your bootloader.

    You can easily make Grub boot Windows, so just overwrite whatever fuckup Windows made, or install Windows first.

    It won’t happen with a simple update, though, that’s for sure. Maybe if you’re upgrading Windows to a new major release.

    I, too, am tired of the constant pessimism. Almost everything is improving all the time.

    On Lemmy it seems the biggest crisis is Google trying to make money off user data (as they always have been). Some people legitimately need to go outside and stop measuring world health by what mass media is currently telling them.


  • I think it’s completely insane to say that any of that is worse now than it ever was. Luckily you only meet pessimism like this in sheltered online echo chambers, so busy whining about Elon Musk or “Google bad” or other irrelevant bullshit, that they can’t see beyond their own bubble of ignorance.

    The fact that Twitter is dying or websites are collecting more cookies is not a world crisis. The rest of these issues are just caused by USA’s capitalist greed, and no amount of activism is changing that, evidently.

    I just have pack and extract functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.

    Wrote them 10 years ago and they’ve worked flawlessly ever since!

    Same in Denmark. It was 15 until recently. We also held the record for teenage drinking for a long time, and still hold “most average alcohol per session” or something.

    Yet we are statistically one of the “happiest” countries in the world. And take the most antidepressants!

    The result of this is that all drinking Swedes just have a huge storage of alcohol at home though.

    They also frequently drive all the way to Germany (through Denmark) to shop duty-free drinks in bulk.

    Scandinavian countries have “pant” on bottles and cans, meaning you pay extra for the container, but get the money back when you return it empty.
