Warming up while using my phone. My parents kept the house at 19°growing up, and I took an hour in the shower not even masturbating, just warming myself to the bone before I had to shiver for the rest of the day.

Greece would look great with the Norwegian house colors imho.

HOAs essentially have rules for everything and force you to have your house conform to whatever standards were established when your house was built.

In the US, many municipalities cannot “afford” to expand municipal services to new developments, so instead said developments will establish an HOA that handles basic municipal needs (ex: trash, water, electricity, paving) along with other niceties like landscaping. The idea is that you are paying as a group to fund things in the neighborhood (but you of course still pay property tax to the city/county/state).

People shouldn’t be able to be told what color to paint their house. More people should experiment with wild colors inside and out.

iOS 26 has progressively gotten better on my M2 iPad Pro. It was a stuttery mess during the betas.

This is exactly my experience with these kinda people. Many of them see the negative outcomes and are glad that outgroups are suffering, even if they are feeling negative effects themselves. I think there’s a long way to go before they feel like they can’t take it anymore.

That’s not possible though because the electorate makeup of rural counties has changed so significantly. The 76 election was 51 years ago… lots of things have changed in that timeframe. 51 years ago, California and Vermont were Republican strongholds, and Missouri was a powerful bellwether that was only wrong once between 1904 and 2012.

100+ seat loss isn’t possible in the US. City/Suburban ideology is the polar opposite of the rural one. Our system gives disproportionate voices to people who live in rural areas. Young people today have left their rural communities for the cities because it’s not possible to lead a comfortable working life in rural America anymore. The Carter flip was only possible because the democratic base was diffused across many rural counties; that’s not the case anymore.

First thing I wanna implore you do is create a separate partition on your boot drive for your /home folder. Distro hopping is super normal when you’re starting out, and by separating your home folder makes distro hopping very easy.

Bazzite, like others suggested, is your best bet at a first attempt because it’s much harder to cause irreparable damage with a stray terminal command.

All of the apps you listed should work just fine under Linux. Bazzite ships with Steam and Lutris (it’s a game store aggregator) to get you started with gaming. Use Microsoft 365 online or one of the open sourced alternatives like libreoffice for office apps. The rest of the programs should either be able to be run with wine/bottles/WinApps.

A 1050 is kinda paltry by today’s standards, so just don’t expect a big bump in gaming performance or super snappy emulation.

Option 2, with more emphasis on the login component. My files are safe, but I don’t wanna bother my buddy to 2FA me every time I need to reinstall Linux for whatever reason.

Omg thank you. I’m gonna try this out tomorrow

New problem: they have 2FA as well

Yes, lol. Long story short,I don’t have the password because it’s a shared account

It is; I want to reinstall my OS without losing my Dropbox install

I’m not, I’m on xubuntu at the moment

If only they had wideband in the US ☹️

I still don’t understand why this is a thing… there has to be less than 1000 people that use camera control in any advanced sense. More people would use an IR blaster than this.

No

I can totally see it going the same general way as TVs.
