I mean, it was less than 20 years ago that this used to happen to me, but it was usually a matter of going to archlinux.org, and usually right on the front page, they’d have a “You need to run this command to fix it”.
They even have one for July 1st right on the home page. So it absolutely does happen from time to time.
How many packages make up what one would consider a bog-standard install of an OS that had all the basic features available to you?
300? 400? Enough for 1 popup every single day of the year; even if done yearly.
Thankfully, other developers aren’t this rude or full of themselves. Don’t get me wrong, they need funding, and I’m a donor - but advertising anything on the OS should be considered taboo. Just because Windows users tolerate it, doesn’t mean we should.
Now imagine every Linux application with a UI does this. Does it start looking like idiocracy to you?
There are just some lines we do not cross. This is one of them.
I’ve heard that anyone who’s drank water has died anyways.
They do still contain a good portion of rubber; the natural type farmed from trees.
Didn’t misunderstand at all, you just used different wording.
You want to utilize an existing partition on the drive, as a VM image and boot it while you’re in Windows.
The answer is yes, you can. Again, the VM part isn’t the problem here. Virtualbox can do it, but they require some major workarounds in order to do.
This is just one example out of many out there on Google. Understand that the commands here are NOT making a new drive image. They are making a drive image FILE that is specially formatted with the tools to point to the existing partition on the drive. VMWare can do this, QEMU can do this, Virtualbox can do this… you’re just making a VM image, where the data points to an actual hard existing partition on the drive.
Once again – This is NOT making a new VM with its own drive, even though the command looks similar. I’m sure HyperV can do it as well, I’m simply not familiar enough with its packaging.
It’s literally been built into windows since Windows 10, natively.
Can you access another partition on the drive and boot it? I’m sure it’s possible somehow. The VM part isn’t really the problem here.
It’s because they aren’t installing the correct bulbs. Some dimmers work by cutting the ‘pulse’ that goes to the light early, some of them work by lowering the voltage/current.
When you install a direct LED to one that cuts the pulse, you get flickering. Incandescent bulbs don’t do this because they’re white-hot and don’t change luminosity fast enough for you to notice.
Basically: If they’re flickering – they did it wrong.

This was literally a google search you wasted everyone’s time with. I’m an “ass” because you were disrespectful of everyone’s time with this post. I’m merely showing the same respect you’ve shown everyone here.
Kinda weird. When every time you have this interaction…starts to make you wonder if maybe there’s some sort of reason…
You’re using an operating system specifically because it is free and open source, and then complaining when a closed, proprietary, licensed spec isn’t implemented. So you’re right, there sure are…looks like there are at least half a dozen of them so far.
So just switch to DisplayPort…in fact, it would have been easier to just buy a displayport cable than it would have been to make this post.
No way in fuckall would I ever vote Republican. Initially I was against the switchup, because I was concerned that - through legal means - they would block her becoming the DNC candidate but I’m cautiously optimistic right now.
Honestly, Lightburn is hella developed. Even stagnated at its current state, it’s still leagues beyond anything else. It’ll continue to be a worthwhile purchase for a long time.
Then why are you making such a huge stink over it?
I don’t think Religion created our problems, I think we did. I think Religion is just our brains trying to maintain sanity. We can’t fathom “infinity”, we can’t fathom the times before or after our deaths. I think religion was just created by people who need to attribute something to that, so they can get their minds off of it.
It has been used as a weapon, for sure, but I don’t think there’s any getting rid of it. I think naturally we gravitate towards it due to our need to understand the world around us. When we get to something we can’t wrap our heads around - it’s easy to just explain it away with a story. Others will dive even deeper into understanding it (science and the scientific method)
There’s a way to do this with an iGPU/dGPU pair. Essentially it means firing up the VM with dedicated GPU passthrough, and then remoting directly into it from the native install using something like Parsec; but if I recall there was a direct memory access way to get the passthrough GPU output to the main display as well; I just can’t remember it at the moment.
The alternative is having a monitor with dual/tri inputs, and swapping the output to the dedicated GPU. Maybe some trickery with a KVM to move the mouse/keyboard over.
https://looking-glass.io/ – This may be the other solution I was having trouble remembering.
Using something like “Barrier/Synergy” might be a software-solution for the KVM side of things. Some guys also just opt to have their dedicated GPU hooked up to a second, dedicated monitor.
edit Reading more into this, I missed the part where this was a laptop - you’re likely hosed. Laptop dedicated GPUs also run through the internal GPU; so technically you have 2 GPUs in your system - but from what I understand, they basically have dedicated switching hardware for handling the handoff, and I’m not sure modern laptops allow any such control over all of that.
Also the legal benefit of scraping the site without the YouTube API is that you haven’t had to accept their terms of service.
There’s an Android app called GrayJay that got a C&D from Google, and they told Google to kindly fuck off, because they hadn’t used any of Google’s APIs. Google had no leg to stand on.
If you’ve got regular access to the internet, and you’ve managed to stay fed and watered, you’re doing better than most of humanity that ever existed. It’s a struggle, for sure - but fight it. Or find something worth fighting for. I was in a position similar to you, and then was told that I had cancer. When actually faced with that very permanent end, I decided I was sticking around. You’re wrong that talking to people won’t help - it absolutely does.
So unless you’re a murderer, pedophile, rapist, abuser, etc - WE are better off having you here. Do us the favor and stay. At the very least, if you absolutely decide you don’t want to stick around - at least do something good before the end.
There’s kind of a bell curve of users where their needs are so simple that Linux use is great for them. They’ll never do anything more complex than visit a webpage in Firefox, and that’s great.
Then as your needs get more and more complex, Linux isn’t quite a good fit – You’ll want to use a specific printer, or a specific software (looking at you solidworks!), or you’ll have some sort of organization that requires you use MS Office, etc. – There are ways around all of that stuff, but if you’re not already on the train, it can get frustrating.
Up until your needs get even more complex, where Linux starts becoming the best choice again - You want a tiling window manager, and ipv6 with firewall and ZFS on the network etc.
It’s the middle bell curve where your new user is already kind-of a power user, but not quite a technical-user yet that gets people.
