It's the Dark Souls of installing things on Ubuntu

GPU1 is probably your integrated GPU. Look into how you can force the use of your dedicated GPU.

Tried it, no dice.

Gog sucks nuts on Linux though. It's such a pain in the ass to get my Gog games working in Lutris that I opted to install Gog Galaxy as a non-Steam game and then install my Gog games through that.

That's what I've resorted to but it's not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.

Nah man, that's not a river

Guess I shoulda done more digging lol. Thanks for the help. Btw, do you know much about PECB's courses? They have some ISO stuff that's GRC specific, might look into it.

I've actually just done a bit of digging on it and it seems that CISSP is used in Canada, so I might pull the trigger on that. I'm also considering Unixguy's GRC Mastery course. Happen to know anything about it? I don't think it counts as a certification proper, but it might be good to show employers what I'm interested in and that I've already put in some work.

No certs as of current. Trying to figure out if there's even an entry-level pathway available before I dump more money into education. NIST and ISA: are these international certs or America specific? The latter won't help me much unless I get a remote job. As for regulations, that should be easy enough. I'm already good at research, so.

Not American, but hopefully someone else can take inspiration from this. I'll look into help desk positions, thanks for the tip.

Hey

Just read it. That is a very bad source. It does the same thing you did and just made unverified claims with no actual evidence. It also makes leaps in logic (e.g. "The word was meant to convey, at that time, the inferiority of Asian products to European products. By extension, Asians are also inferior to Europeans.") It makes no mention of "rice boys" and so can't support that claim either. In fact, while I've been doing your due diligence for the last hour, I haven't found an appropriate historical source for any of this. Not on Google Scholar, not on Google proper, nor in my university's library. The closest thing I've found for "rice boy" in particular is the dubious book of definitions that Wikipedia is using as a source for that claim. And the closest thing I'm finding for racist connotations of "rice burner" is from the book Far Eastern Tour which outlines its use in Korea by Canadians in reference to Korean support troops. Of course, the Oxford Dictionary has some information concerning the American etymology, but it is paywalled so I can't access it.

And how dare you accuse me of rewriting history when you won't make the slightest effort to research it yourself. What a shameful display of hypocrisy.

You're the one who made the claim so the onus is on you to provide a source. That's literally the most basic thing a person learns in academia. You can't claim that "facts are facts" without providing proof of those facts.

Furthermore, you can hold Americocentric views without being American. That's the whole purpose behind American cultural exports.

What an Americocentric attitude. Gross.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

I have neither of those stores in my area. At Walmart, chicken is $20/kg like every other store.

I think there's a food bank in the town near to me. I'll have to inquire about if they serve the surrounding area, but I'm guessing not due to a large low-income population.

As for brands, the only brand of food that I've ever stuck with unequivocally is Philadelphia cream cheese. Not out of loyalty but because nothing can stack up to it. I'll eat own brand for everything besides cream cheese.

Oh no, it's not a gastro thing. I can tell you that for certain. The taste and texture makes my stomach do somersaults. Normally you see that type of thing when you've eaten something and became sick recently after (my neuro prof back in the day had a funny anecdote about whiskey and his inability to drink it after a particularly rowdy night) so I'm wondering if that's what's happening. Or maybe I just really can't stand potatoes.

I've never heard of potato bread before! I'll give it a go. As for eggplant, I'm not the biggest on it and it's actually a bit expensive here. But zucchini? A m a z i n g. Got some growing right now. Unfortunately that doesn't help me for a wee while, so I might pick a couple up if I have the money. I like to eat em chopped up with a Greek dressing. Can also shred em and put em in baking (chocolate zucchini muffin :> ) but I can't quite afford anything so extravagant right now.

As for what's cheap - basically nothing, lately. I really should move to somewhere that doesn't have an oligarchical food industry, but that's a long term thing. Either way, I do appreciate the offer but I'm not sure I'm comfortable accepting. It's endlessly kind, but I feel I should try to work with what I have before I take from someone else.

Snap annoys the piss outta me because of the forced updates. That said, never ever had a snap package not work for me. Whereas installing some things from apt just doesn't work for whatever reason.

I actually tried keto some years ago on a lark. I quickly learned to avoid supermarkets since I could smell all the sugar in the baking aisle halfway across the store. Before posting this, I didn't think such a high-protein, low-fat dirt could result in ketosis but I was educated by another user on how the process actually works.
