Have you ever seen how to draw a circle in GIMP?

It's super easy, particularly if you follow a guide your first time. Your parents could absolutely do the install if you set up the USB for them. The hardest part is finding a safe download for the OS (they are .iso files) and setting it up on a USB stick (I recommend using a program called 'Ventoy' to do this).

I know that it's a fediverse sin to post reddit links here, but there's a genuinely superb megathread for Windows 10 LTSC IoT available that I recommend:

In terms of actually installing you can initiate it by plugging the USB stick in and going through the start menu settings; or, when you boot up the computer you press F2/F12 to enter the BIOS screen, and you select the plugged in USB stick as your "boot drive". This makes the computer open the USB stick instead of your already-installed OS.

I couldn't name another Microsoft employee if a gun was to my head. but I can still vividly remember myself in 4th grade reading about Bill Gate's mega mansion in Popular Mechanics for Kids

Already did and it's glorious! Steam works beautifully and the only final thing that I'm missing is Adobe products.

I recommend, if you want to try Linux, that you try out the 'Debian' distribution, and use the 'KDE Plasma' desktop environment. It makes for a very Windows-like experience and really assisted me with the transition between OSs.

Something something taxation.... something something representation... help me out here americans

I agree with this. It's cash. If I handed it in and the police called and told me they found the rightful owner I'm not sure I'd even believe them. Let the girl keep it!

Yup, members of the Heritage Foundation have talked about making massive camp systems in Canada. I imagine it would be largely for Canadians and deported Americans and migrants.

I moved into a tiny home and got one for measuring the current draw of my kitchen appliances and keeping track of the cost of my electric space heater ($40/month so far, yeesh)

Reddit is definitely not the final evolution of the internet board. It goes without saying that we can do better. And when a better iteration comes along nobody will even need to ask the Reddit users to switch as theyll naturally migrate like we always have. And then eventually that thing will be decrowned for something better too

I don't have an answer for you, but i did a reverse google search and this 18-year-old match was the oldest result i could find. My guess is its from a video game?

What the fuck does this man see in his isolation tanks

I remove defender on my installs as it's resource heavy and it doesn't provide me any additional security that I require. I don't download any software to the PC aside from the run-of-the-mill apps, so I don't need Defender constantly scanning my system and files.

I don't replace the anti-virus with anything. You can use the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) to scan files if needed but I haven't needed it yet. For a firewall I use Simplewall, which is a fantastic lightweight FOSS app I recommend to everyone

It's been a long time since I tried, but I tried to install Atkinson Hyperlegible on my android and it wasn't possible without rooting the phone. Your manufacturer may have a way to add fonts, but for Samsung I was limited to downloading them through their Galaxy store, which had no fonts I wanted

Oh hell yeah I use Atkinson Hyperlegible everywhere. There is also Atkinson Monolegible for a monospaced font so you arent stuck using Consolas

This was posted by a browser extension that I'm working on that takes posts from Reddit and uploads them to Lemmy. It's supposed to actually upload the Reddit photo, not link to it. It's a work in progress.

Based Doug Ford was not on my 2025 bingo card.

Oof that's a challenge, but one can assume they've grown quite a bit as a studio and are up to taking on the task. I wish them luck!
