Killing super-mods would have been much more effective 5 years ago, back when there were still lots quality moderators in small subreddits. I remember people screaming for years this was a problem they needed to do something about.

However, during the last blackout (triggered by Reddit killing off 3rd party apps), Reddit removed hundreds (thousands?) of moderators who wouldn’t toe the party line. These people aren’t coming back and there aren’t quality people lined up behind them to donate their time. The mass moderator removal made the super-mod issues even worse.

Good. School is for learning, not for texting your friends.

Edit: OP corrected the link. Please support Gamer’s Nexus.

This is a re-upload by a third party. Which is perfectly acceptable, but do note it’s not back up on Gamer’s Nexus’ page.

Yeah, you can install both, then just pick which one you want during login.

Cinnamon uses slightly more resources than the other two. But, it’s lightweight enough I doubt you are going to have an issue, even with a computer of that era.

Head on over to Update Manager > Edit and upgrade to 22.2!

does that mean i can upgrade normally and not worry about the kernel?

Yeah, just doing the upgrade via Update Manager > Edit menu leaves you on the 6.8 kernel. Confirmed with all three of my machines I upgraded.

Two of them I have since put on kernel 6.14 via Update Manager > Kernels, after updating to Mint 22.2 and seeing it still on kernel 6.8.

If you are currently running Mint 22.1, the upgrade will show up in the Update Manager > Edit menu.

Edit: I updated my machines this way. I’m guessing it isn’t set to automatically move one from kernel 6.8 to 6.14? I can obviously change the kernel via the Kernels menu in Update Manager, I’m just wondering why this wasn’t automatic.

What do you mean? I’m assuming you aren’t referring to LibreOffice Calc, as that entire program is tables. LibreOffice Writer also lets you put tables in documents.

If you mean you want to use spreadsheets like a database? Here is an article on it: Calc as a Database

This is the next generation GPU. The Radeon is a last generation model that you have been able to buy for awhile now. What you are asking for currently exists and is something you can buy on their website right now and upgrade your older laptop:

Prior Module: https://frame.work/products/16-graphics-module-amd-radeon-rx-7700s

New Module: https://frame.work/products/laptop16-graphics-module-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070

The standard is PCI-e, and it is interchangeable. This is the second dedicated video card you can get in a Framework laptop, and they can be swapped out with each other. The other video card is even an AMD Radeon.

You can buy individual displays directly on framework’s website and swap them into even their oldest laptop. If they make OLED versions in the future, it will be the same: a display swap.

Framework has been pretty consistent on upgradability. You can even put the newest MOBOs/CPUs in the oldest laptops since they kept the formfactor identical. They sell such mobos on their website.

Yeah, article said he had talked for months about hanging himself. Any human friend would have done their best to save him. Being proactive about making him feel better, working through his problems with him, and/or notifying his parents or a school teacher.

Meanwhile the chat bot just encouraged him to seek help himself. Which isn’t bad, but when someone is suicidal, particularly when they keep bringing it up, is clearly not enough.

I feel really bad for anyone treating chatbots as friends. They are basically guaranteed to get screwed over by the bot. And furthermore, they aren’t learning how to connect with humans, humans who might become a lifelong friend, or teach one the skills to befriend a future lifelong friend.

Over half my apps I use would get blocked

Consider many apps are just webpages. You can go to the website directly from a browser and everything is happy.

Obviously won’t solve everything, but that covers most apps right there.

That sounds like the least economical way possible to build out solar.

Rent an apartment in Bumfuck, Flyover and work for a tech company.

It’s amazing how cheap living is when you aren’t trying to jam yourself into a city. People talk about how there is a bunch of vacant housing, well, middle of nowhere is where it is! And it’s damn cheap.

And now, with 5G and satellite internet both as solid internet sources, it is rare you will find a house that will prevent a work remote job.

A bunch of VR headsets (including fairly expensive ones) used Windows Mixed Reality as their API to the OS. Without it, many of these headsets simply do not function. Turning your very expensive purchase into a paperweight.

There are ads in Windows even if you pay extra for the Pro version…

God, they are finding even more places to add ads?!?

FedNow is ran by the Federal Reserve. They are almost certainly going to retain stricter regulation than independently operated payment processors.
