  • Maybe if the US Army had cooperated it wouldn't have been so terrible! At least it provides a chance to see Phil Hartman.

  • And rarely you get to see gems like this from the movie Sgt. Bilko (1996):

  • Personally I would definitely focus on figuring out the underlying motivation for the OS hopping, but just in the interest of maybe saving some time having to re-setup everything you might consider:

    • I've never used Windows 11 so it might have even more insidious tendencies than in the past, but generally the rule-of-thumb for multi-booting has always been to install Windows first. Other operating systems tend to be more considerate about not stepping on other installs they find and their boot loaders more flexible.
    • If the budget allows you could also just use a different physical disk for each OS and either disable one in the BIOS or manually disconnect one to choose which OS to boot into.
    • Maybe just running a virtual machine or live-boot would satisfy the FOMO aspect?
    • Making a snapshot image of your configured install to restore from would also speed up the process of toggling between environments.

    Just throwing out ideas, best of luck to you :)

  • I won't even pretend to have any insights what might be causing the psychological compulsion to constantly abandon and reacquire operating systems - but just from a technical perspective, do you need to completely reinstall the OS instead of just maintaining a multi-boot setup?

  • Thanks for the summary image and link to a new channel to check out! I love that the video just immediately jumped into topic without any fluff or calls to action at all. Likely going to try my luck with a Granitestone griddle to replace an ancient one with some gouges around the edges that's probably giving me hyper-cancer.

  • If you're a legitimate news site, why the need for so many accounts created within the last 24 hours? Why do you care so little about your "brand" and professionalism to ensure your website isn't incomplete and is presenting a good face for the world? Small businesses care about their appearance and generally want to show that they are as good as the large players in the market, what you're doing is coming across only as a scam artist trying to make a quick buck without caring about the methods used.

  • If you just give inforation from another source and credible why should anyone visit your website instead of the source? You aren't entitled to ad views just because you can steal content or generate AI nonsense. Stop making throwaway accounts to spam links to your site and maybe try building trust by interacting with the communities you're flooding if you need attention and want more reader

  • Just a heads-up, this is another spam account pushing a garbage website.

    Other accounts recently created that link to this site include:
    @xmod@leminal.space
    @xmod@lemm.ee
    @watyuhhgg@kbin.social
    @ROG43@lemm.ee

    Below is what I included on previous posts, they have since updated their website to "correct" the oversights but I'll include the old info. for reference.

    Why the sudden switch in address names? Why is the contact us page just a gmail account and no additional info or even a generic web form? Unlike the other sections, the "about" page isn't in English at all.

  • What kind of filament is that printed with and are you concerned about it failing over time? Especially if there's spinning disks in there I'd be paranoid as hell about it falling.

  • Just a heads up, this is another spam account pushing a garbage website. @xmod@leminal.space [<-now banned] & @xmod@lemm.ee are both newly created accounts linking only to this site.

  • the only way to download it is with a premium subscription

    This doesn't help you on a mobile device, but in case others weren't aware of its existence, there's a great open source tool for downloading from many/most websites: yt-dlp

  • "...if it was as an..." hurts my brain

    Totally legitimate user,
    You only link to central24 so I have to assume you have some connection to it; its/your publisher is listed as ZwadTech but the footer link (zwadtechcom) doesn't resolve and general web searches for that term only returns the central24 website. Where do you source your information for your totally legitimate articles? I noticed there aren't any authors listed.

    Why is this domain only linked to by newly created accounts (4+ of which have been banned)?

  • There's a great (and short) video about encryption back-doors by CGP Grey: "Should all locks have keys? Phones, Castles, Encryption, and You." (Piped link).

    "No matter how much we might wish it, there's no way to build a digital lock that only angels can open and demons cannot. Anyone saying otherwise is either ignorant of the mathematics or less of an angel than they appear."

    EDIT: I still hate you Piped bot.

  • Someone else asked if this was a real thing (I also had my doubts) so I did some quick searching -- as far as I can tell this is legit. I also found a macro photography site that has a bunch of adorable pictures.
