Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.
Really hoping he hasn’t brought the jinx with him.

Rest assured that they’ve already had that idea a dozen times already, and if they thought they could make it stick, they would have done so by now.
Mental health problems by any chance? He may need more help than family can provide if you want him to get back on his feet (and out the door).
It would be a good sign if he seems like he wants to get his own place again, even if he’s not able to make steps towards it.
Source: I’d probably be in the same boat if the laws and property upkeep rules were stricter here. Even so, I’d be wanting to get out of family accommodation ASAP. My family are good people, but I can’t spend long periods with them. There might be a hint or two in that somewhere.
(But whatever you do, please don’t fail to be kind.)
Pegasus be like: Problem?
Most of the old buildings (usually churches / cathedrals) here have been built upon and changed over the centuries so what you see above ground is still old, but it’s not - at least comparatively - ancient.
I’m in England. I may or may not be in a town that has something like that, but even the places that don’t have something are within a couple of hours’ drive of somewhere that does.
I will say that where I am is listed in the Domesday book, but that isn’t saying much to be fair.
Sounds like a job for a USB trial run on a rainy weekend when you’re not doing anything else.
Nvidia supply OEM drivers for the Debian family (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint), if not others, assuming the open-source drivers don’t cut it for you. Microcode updates are released for both Intel and AMD.
You’ll probably run into issues with some games. Things are getting better on Linux, slowly and steadily, but many games are written specifically for Windows with no Linux port available. Steam’s store, for example, shows which games are SteamOS compatible, which usually means they’ll run on Linux too.
For other games it’s worth checking the Internet - e.g. www.protondb.com to see if anyone else has a particular game running under Linux. You’re probably aware that there are programs that attempt to provide some layer of Windows behaviour that form part of the solution. Some of the solutions may or may not involve command line use.
This is one of those situations where explaining why I said what I said, when I said it, in the way that I said it, and bring into question whether I could have worded any of it better takes way more time than a glib aside. Something adjacent to the Bullsh*t Asymmetry principle, if not an instance.
Anyway, I was trying to encompass those folks who tend to set their system time to 12hr, and wasn’t really saying anything one way or the other about whether the person who made the screenshot (OP it seems) generally has their system set that way or not. It was more pointing out that having it be 24hr (or leaving it that way) makes the time look a bit like a year in the not-too-distant future (2028), and thus could form part of the date that is otherwise displayed.
It could be that the whole thing is a coincidence, but I was pointing out that it could have been part of the joke.
How about, I don’t know, not yanking the cord (or setting things up so the cord is yanked automatically) and pursuing the payment later?
But then that could mean that someone might - even temporarily - get something for nothing, and they can’t be seen to promote anything even remotely similar to that.
Perhaps this tiny company are so close to the knife edge that they can’t afford to allow it to happen. Must have constant revenue stream or else close up sho… wait, Micro-who?
I feel like the choice of time of day (24hr clock) for the screenshot might have been an attempt at being prophetic.

How it became the most prominent conspiracy theory is wild to me.
Every word in “Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” is a single syllable. Very easy to rattle around in an empty head. I mean, heck, it’s still rattling around in mine…
I just imagined a horrible alternative universe where it’s illegal for brand names to become corrupted regardless of whatever else happens to data. Eventually humanity would start communicating only in brand names to ensure messages get through. *shudder*
AMD graphics drivers might be an example of this. They’re made by AMD for Ubuntu specifically, not Debian. They work* on LMDE, so I assume they will also work** on Debian, but they weren’t specifically developed for that platform.
Installing them was a bit hairy, but they’ve survived at least one kernel update so far, which is somewhat reassuring***.
* on my specific hardware.
** for some hardware combinations, including mine, if not all.
*** but not completely. FrankenDebian is the word I use for it.
Or any of the churches that have kept Christmas where the Julian calendar had it, which is generally some time in January.
“Hurt me, daddy.”
“OK, now you’ve made it weird.”
“Aw yeah, that’s the stuff.”

Why do you think you wanted to run ELIZA on a Timex/Sinclair 2068?
I finally got the right search term for it to turn up again.
I can’t believe you’ve done this.
I’m not sure I’m a fan of systemctl either, but I think your hatred of it has caused you to read way too much into what I said.
