I live in a ranching state (South Dakota) where beef is processed locally, and it's nearly impossible to get grass-fed meat. Sure, some of it is labeled "grass-fed" with a drastically higher price point (unsustainable for most people), but the whole industry is so corrupt and ethically bankrupt that it's a meaningless label, just like almost anything else you buy here.
It's a good video that addresses a lot of misconceptions. I do believe I'm an introvert, but I also see a lot of people greatly misunderstanding introversion/extroversion.
One part of the video that really hit home for me is the part where he talks about having a purpose. I can speak in front of large crowds because I'm there with a defined purpose, whereas I've never gotten used to small talk. This became really obvious back when I was in a band. People would talk to me after the show at the table and assume I was the same person I was during our performance, whereas in a way that was just a role I played, but it was comfortable for me because I was there with a purpose. It's not this alone that defines introversion/extroversion, but I feel like a lot of people could benefit from understanding this. It's why most of the friends I make are centered around shared hobbies and interests.
I usually don't click YouTube links, but this was good.
No, because if you check OP's link, .world actually gave a reason:
Reached out through Lemmy and Mastodon. No reply from the admin. Last activity from the admin was 2 months ago. Instance is also running an older version of Lemmy.
Whoa, this is my first time doing this, thank you very much! This should honestly be a default app in Windows.
I'll look for that hiberfil.sys as soon as possible. I'm not really concerned about boot time at all. I boot from an SSD, so it probably won't take too long, but even if it did it would be worth having more control over my system.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this help. Thank you very, very much!
Is there another setting I should be using in addition to this? Which power settings must I change?
Windows only seems to be easier to handle as Linux, but it isn’t, it’s quite the opposite, only the very basic settings are more at hand
So true. I've always assumed Linux would be beyond my comprehension, but it's actually much less frustrating than Windows so far.
Edit: After looking around the control panel, I do see that I accidentally had "automatically restart" checkmarked under system failure, but in this case I don't think that would have applied since it was a pending update, not a system failure.
That's what I'd like to happen, but that's not consistently what happens. In fact, last time I saw the notification, I decided I could wait until the next day, but Windows went ahead and restarted for me during the night regardless. My computer was locked when this occurred, which leads me to believe Windows assumed I wasn't "active" and could therefore restart.
I can't explain it, but I can assure you it did happen.
Edit: Oops, I guess it doesn't show in my screenshot, but I have "Configure automatic updates" set to:
3 = (Default setting) Download the updates automatically and notify when they are ready to be installed
Windows finds updates that apply to the computer and downloads them in the background (the user is not notified or interrupted during this process). When the downloads are complete, users will be notified that they are ready to install. After going to Windows Update, users can install them.
Anyway you can pause the updates until a certain date and time in the advanced settings of the Updates page.
Which is what I've resorted to doing on certain weeks when we need to allow people to access them. My employer is very small without much funding, so I'm not a tech person, but I'm the "tech person," if that makes sense. They never were the best computers in the first place and are used by many people, so obviously that contributes, but they do take excessively long to install updates.
My major beef with my home PC and Windows updates is that I can't totally disable automatic restarts, which is a pain since sometimes there's a reason I want to leave it locked and running overnight without disruption. I've tried regedit, group policy, and taking ownership of the Update Orchestrator folder, but regardless if I've got it locked, Windows decides it's not in use and should be restarted. At least it stopped recommending Windows 11 when I disabled TPM in bios, but once I get more comfortable using Linux, I'll be done with Windows forever.
It's not like I'm neglecting updates, either. I manually check at least once a month. But it still occasionally will hit me with an unexpected/unwanted restart when I least expect it.
My home PC updates like that, but our work PCs take forever, and Windows pushes an update almost every week. It can actually take over an hour to apply an update at times.
I don't think anyone says it breaks things -- it's just glacially slow with no meaningful change. Sometimes, it changes for the worse, like the time I had to delete an unwanted desktop shortcut to Edge on every PC.
Or let me correct that: Rebuild the infrastructure.
Even here in lowly South Dakota where I live, there was once a network of buses and trains that traveled between even small towns. That was all abandoned to appease the automotive gods.
Yeah, wow. I expected Biden to be bad, but I didn't expect him to be "let's continue to extend the fascism" bad. Just a politer Trump tbh
