“Is that Kung Fu?”

“No, he’s only had 2 pints.”

Yeah. What ads?

I have my own website account for personal stuff, and all the other stuff that was going to my Gmail account is being redirected now to Disroot.org where I’m slowly changing the address over for each mail that comes in. I know Disroot is probably not the best, but it was free, had POP3 and IMAP support (I use IMAP on my phone and POP3 on my desktop) and it’s not used for anything too important.

Like moronic millenial knuckle-dragger JD Vance.

I used Organic Maps on my CalyxOS phone a few days ago to navigate a 200 mile car drive home to the Scottish Highlands, and it worked flawlessly. The first 50 miles were through parts of Fife that I was not familiar with. I left it on for the rest of the journey just to track my progress and test it out. Very impressed with it. Maps are detailed and downloaded to the device for offline use. I’ve finally managed to deGoogle my life completely and will never use another Google product or service again.

That’s news to me. Spent a lot of time in the pagan community when I was young and stupid. Never heard it ever being regarded as a derogatory term. Most pagans I knew wore it as a badge of honour.

Being in the UK, I associate Celtic culture as being primarily Scottish, Irish or Welsh. Although the term “Celt” does date much further back than modern Celtic traditions.

Wrong.

And I know what year it is, thank you.

It’s like F-Droid, but for Pagans.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux. Yes, it is liberating, isn’t it?

I found keeping Windows on a dual boot system when I first migrated to Mint was enough to make me never want to use Windows again. It kept fucking things up and I wiped it off my system shortly thereafter.

Rather than add a secondary drive, why not run a Windows virtual machine? I created a Win7 VM just for those two pieces of software that Linux doesn’t have. I have blocked it from internet access and so it does everything I need on the rare occasions that I require it.

Yeah, I thought that too for a while, but over the last 5 or 6 years I’m sticking with my initial gut feeling on the matter.

I met Rogan briefly back in 2003 when Stanhope invited me out to his desert party. They were both working on The Man Show at the time and we went out to the studio cos Doug had a couple of things to wrap up before we took off to Panamint Springs. Rogan was sitting at a computer that he barely looked up from. I took an instant dislike to his dismissiveness. I don’t get starstruck easily and back then he was hardly the celebrity he is now (me being from Scotland I only knew him as some half-rate comedian that I never found that funny). Something about his demeanour pissed me right off. I’ve always been the kind of person that goes with gut instinct when I meet someone for the first time (it’s served me well over the years) and my gut told me this guy was a prick. He seemed to come across as having a sense of entitlement. It was a very brief encounter and introduction, but I never forgot it and haven’t been too surprised by the level of fame he has achieved. He came across as someone very focussed and driven on making it big at any cost. I guess we now all see the cost. There was a sweet spot a few years ago when his interviews were good and entertaining but now it’s just him repeating himself all the time and getting the same guests on like his CIA handler Mike Baker. There’s clearly a political agenda to his show and Rogan has been bought and paid for many times over.

The GUI is intuitive. It boots initially into an OS with a bunch of useful tools. The disk cloning software is straightforward and it works perfectly - I can vouch for this since I’ve had to resort to it on a couple of occasions restoring my system from the back up images. It’s also not complicated like Clonezilla.

Foxclone every time. Excellent piece of kit.

Try LXLE. I stuck it on an old 16+ year old desktop and it runs smoothly as my shed computer.

Don’t need any of them which is good because it saved me having to watch some shitty YouTube vid.

Wipeout Omega Collection.

2012!?

Holy Smokes!

I thought I was late by 2005.

I miss all the crashes, the blue screen of death, the automatic updates that reconfigure all the personal changes you made to try make Windows work better, and all the hunting around for cracked propietary software.

Like already mentioned here, back up first. I use a tool called Foxclone for hard drive image backups. Many would recommend Clonezilla, but I can vouch for Foxclone as I know it works from personal experience and the interface is really intuitive.

If you installed your Linux distro to dual boot alongside an existing Windows machine, you might need to move the Linux partitions after deleting Windows in order to resize the Linux partitions. This is something that can be done later once you know everything is working okay.

That’s an expensive way to sway an election. If that’s the case, critical thinking abilities of the average Xitter user is pretty fucking low. Breaking News: Shepherd Herds Sheep.
