Oh Hell noo ☝️. I will never step on your grass. And if I ever do I will piss all over your street before I set foot in your yard.

He was convicted in a state court, not a federal court, so the rules are a bit different.

Additionally, elections are administered at the state level, rather than federally, so his home state of Florida makes the rules allowing or disallowing his vote.

CNN wrote a piece about it on election day.

Oof, bad news for you. Arc is on life support. The company is pivoting to development of a different browser.

Story about it from the verge.

I have the exact same little box for my HTPC in my living room.

It's possible something went wrong during your install or configuration. I'm running a different distro, but I had to do very little tweaking or configuring of drivers, since the hardware is pretty standard.

Do you have any display output at all? Dropping into a tty or accessing your machine over ssh after boot at least gives you a starting point to debug.

Some tools that you can use to gather more info:

  • inxi: prints out helpful summaries of system info for debugging. inxi --graphics should give you some info to work with. My output tells me that I'm using the i915 kernel driver for display output.
  • modinfo: prints out kernel module info. The output is lengthy, so piping to a pager is helpful: modinfo i915 | less
  • system logs: see if there are any useful error messages in your systemd journal with journalctl --this-boot --priority=3, or search for messages related to the i915 kernel module with journalctl --this-boot --grep i915

Apparently that would be enough to qualify him for Secretary of Defense

Totally agree with your assessment.

It's also important to remember that, even if AI/ML don't have a killer consumer application right now, those systems are really powerful for recommending targeted advertisements. That's why all the big tech companies are throwing money at nvidia to build out more and bigger datacenters.

Cullen Hoback directed another HBO miniseries documentary about QAnon. He's not a Q weirdo himself.

It is, in fact, a paid theme in Microsoft's Solitaire collection for mobile.

On this same train of thought: there's also git sparse-checkout which uses the skip-worktree bit under the hood, and may have an easier interface. I'm not sure though, I haven't used it yet.

I haven't seen git update-index --skip-worktree mentioned yet. You can read about the motivation for this feature in the git scm docs.

I have used it in the past when a professor wanted us to clone repos for assignments that included some opinionated settings for VSCode that I didn't want to use. Skipping the work tree for that directory allowed me to change or delete the config files without git complaining every time I pushed or pulled or whatever, and the changes I made remained local.

You could set up a couple git aliases to "freeze" and "thaw" your config files on the second drive.
