@cdarwin@c.imThe U.S. Mint will begin selling gold-colored $1 coins featuring Donald Trump’s likeness at noon ET on Wednesday,
with prices ranging from about $1.55 to $2.44 per coin.
The coins, first announced in July, bear a rendering of Trump’s face on the obverse side, with the inscriptions “Liberty,” “In God We Trust” and “1776 ~ 2026.”
The presidential seal, which depicts an eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, appears on the reverse side,
along with an inscr…
@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itBefore I met my wife 20 years ago, she was an Apple user with a macbook.
I eventually got her on Linux (initially with Mint). Maybe 15 years ago?
She started a new job and they gave her a new macbook, and she haaaaaates it. I can't tell if it's because she just got used to Linux, or if it's because Apple has actually made their OS worse in the past 15 years.

@cdarwin@c.imThe places where the government has put Trump’s name and face
The U.S. Mint announced Wednesday that a "fake gold" coin bearing Trump’s likeness is in circulation to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary.
The coin is one of more than a dozen government items, documents, buildings and programs that the Trump administration has put the president’s name or face on.
In some cases, when the name of a building or other government asset was changed, lawsuits have fo…

Og det er faktisk seriŸst arbejde der udfŸres med den :)
Jeg har fået fat i en 27" iMac fra 2015 til billig penge.
En lille ekstra udgift kom der til, da jeg skulle kŸbe et kit til at åbne maskinen (skærmen er limet fast i dens kabinet).
Nu er den gamle 4TB HDD erstattet med en 1 TB SSD- og så spiller den bare- med Linux Mint vel at mærke. Jeg er ikke Apple fan, men den pynter altså! <3

@alejandrobdn@social.linux.pizzaThis coming November, I'll be holding my second GNU/Linux installation workshop. I'll probably choose Linux Mint with XFCE or LXDE. I think those are the ones that are least disruptive to the Windows mindset.
Little by little, we're showing that GNU/Linux stopped being just for nerds a long time ago.

@yetiinabox@todon.nlAt this moment, in our small garden, the cherries are finishing, the raspberries are yielding bucketloads, and the strawberries are just starting. The parsley has gone to seed and the mint and oregano are just flowering, and the various chives and garlicky things have seedheads.
However, the slugs appear to be munching all the mizuna seedlings - I'm hoping the hedgehog will help with that. We did have a frog for a while but I think they've left.

@teledyn@mstdn.caHopefully the end of a long thread, I realized I had been asking the wrong question from the start, not if distro X would run on the 11,2, but rather which distro will run on the 11,2, and the hands-down favourites lists give Debian "Expect a challenge"
MX was recommended, but since it was previously running Mint, I went with the #LinuxMint, no issues withe Live CD, and so far, no cursor or suspend issues!
But I haven't actually started to USE it 😅
And three minutes in, my mouse pointer vanished 😞
@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaMX Linux seems to be a very polished product in the sense that a lot of work has clearly gone into it - and into trying to make it pretty friendly. At least compared to how things used to be. On the other hand it also very much feels like late 90s Linux where everything is cobbled together from all kinds of bits and things are named after application names rather than features. It is kind of fun to have to figure things out this way. Mint/Fedora etc. are so polished these days, you rarely ha…

@SteveFoerster@social.vivaldi.netFinally got around to replacing MacOS on my ten year old MacBook Air with Linux Mint Xfce. It installed fine, then I did an update from the 6.14.x kernel to the 7.0.x kernel and... kernel panic.
I had to boot the installer again and spend more than an hour messing around in the command line to go back to the older kernel, then mark it so it will never update it again.
Ahh, Linux... you sure know how to welcome someone back to the fold!

@gse@norden.socialKernel Panic ! Warum nur ?
Ich hab ein Linux mint frisch installiert und nun kommt alle paar minuten Kernel panic, muss gestehen, hab bis jetzt mit Kernel Panic nicht soooo viel zutun gehabt oder besser gesagt, sogut wie gar nicht.
Nun was raten mir die Experten ?
Das Gerät ist ein Mini-PC mit 1 TB Platte drinne ;D

@teledyn@mstdn.canot terribly encouraging, this #iMac was purchased off Marketplace with Mint installed, so no one knows the boot menu incantation, but I did try a different USB kbd and THIS time holding Alt and Power brings me to an EFI Boot page, so this is interesting …
and possibly absolves the power button mechanics? Perhaps some other Amazon Basics key command? It need only work once!
@teledyn@mstdn.caon closer examination, this thing is intel cpu, so Debian should work, no?
Bigger problem right now: how does one invoke the boot manager on these things? Holding the power-on button with or without the left or right Alt and/or Windows keys just boots back into the broken Mint!
