I parboil my rice for 5 mins and then wash them before cooking after reading a UK guide that said it might reduce arsenic and heavy metals.

Sorry to not really answer your question, but I’m just curious what distros and kernel combinations you’ve tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don’t support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I’ve heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it’s an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I’ve seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn’t on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it’s really not supported.

To answer your question a bit. I’ve honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don’t even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don’t suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.

That sounds safe

Children are not dumb. Talk to them and answer their questions honestly in a way that won’t make them more worried. Talk through any plans you think they should be aware of. And most importantly, listen to them, a child that feels safe and secure with their caregivers will tell them what’s bothering them at random times, like during play.

If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

I like how they took a helicopter and made it less safe

I’d say use it would be better to make and decorate paper mache eggs so as to not add to the plastic demand. Also it sounds more fun to make with kids.

Yes two drives is much better than using the same drive to dual boot. However be aware that windows update will at some point break the Linux install even if installed on a second drive. There’s a few steps you can take to avoid this like making sure the boot partition and booy manager ate both on the Linux only drive but Microsoft messing something up is an inevitability.

If on a laptop with only one drive, you could boot to a USB drive or USB external enclosure for an SSD.

Ideally, you should back up all data to an external drive which is only plugged in during backups (unplug when installing another os). I would even recommend windows users booting into clonezilla and cloning their windows drive as it is really easy to overwrite or format the wrong drive.

Not when the geo group can earn a profit off of a detainee. Especially if they get to make an example out of someone who was both here legally and was exercising freedom of speech as is protected by the 1st Amendment.

This means we no longer have constitutional rights.

Its a private platform. They can do what ever they want.

Politicians and other public services should stop using it while they still can.

You have to click something, then unclick it…a computer won’t second guess itself.

What are peoples thoughts on simplex?

This is the stuff I think about when I’m solo.

That’s just vibe couping

In stock android 15 it looks like this.

Im not an android dev but I think the difference here is it’s a secure lock. Which means that encryption is engaged and requires the decryption string to unlock which means that biometrics are not asked for.

It doesn’t require root. Device admin is different.

I currently run this app on android 15 without root and it runs very well. However I just noticed that it seems to not have a new release in a few years and should probably be considered orphaned. So I might recommend ParanoidsPal-PrivacyLock instead.
