How compatible is Linux Mint Debian Edition with NVIDIA drivers?

I’ve been seriously looking to migrate away from Windows’s grip recently and I’ve laid my eyes on LMDE, as it seems like a simple and stable distro (I’m a total beginner in Linux/Unix). However, I have a laptop with an NVIDIA integrated graphics card, and given NVIDIA’s record, I’m worried about compatibility issues...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

You could dual boot and find out. Or even do a live session and play around.

Are there regulations for what kind of domain name you can use for a website?

I just saw a link that ended in .info which on the surface to me seems like it would be a reputable source. Are there any regulations to stop someone from using .info and hosting a website that’s full of misinformation? Or any regulations on domain names?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

There are some domain names that have requirements but nothing like you’re thinking. The only one I would automatically consider as providing useful information would be .gov.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I always forget that. Instinct is to put things in the center.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Depends on the sandwich. If you’re constructing a sandwich without using heat, I would consider that “making lunch” or “making dinner” but not explicitly cooking. I’m not sure that the difference matters in any significant situations, though. Why are you asking?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Phone, yes: your battery can explode / light an intense fire. Watch, depends on the watch.

Does selling stuff you own affect your unemployment? (NYS)

I’m temporarily laid off from work starting Monday for an unknown amount of time, I get max unemployment for NYS. Can I sell stuff I own on ebay etc to make some extra money or does that fuck over my unemployment? I’m not a business just myself. Wasn’t sure how that all works

TheButtonJustSpins , (edited )

If it’s stuff you already own, the income would be based on the difference between what you paid for it and what you get for it. Likely, you’re selling at a loss, so that’s not income.

Notes: IANAL and have never been on unemployment.

Check out Discord’s Webhooks; many applications publish notifications through them. Should be as easy as sending a message to a specific URL, I think.

Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?

For those that aren’t familiar, Spirit Halloween is a store that pops up in vacant stores around the middle of August and remain until early November. They sell Halloween things like costumes, decorations, etc. I wonder why there isn’t a Christmas version that could sell Christmas stuff that could pop up after Spirit leaves...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I believe you’re looking for Christmas tree farms.

Also, there are so many year-round Christmas shops.

Also also, Spirit is mostly for costumes, which aren’t relevant to Christmas.

I highly recommend taking the time to learn docker instead of running directly.

How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy?

I have given up trying to find a girlfriend. Even though, I am outgoing, have hobbies (I dance, which is actually filled with women), go to parties, talk to plenty of women. But I keep hearing the same thing over and over again: “I am just not so into skinny guys.”...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Therapy. Also focusing on your hobbies and filling your life with joys that don’t focus on a datemate. But definitely therapy.

How do you secure your bootloader without secure boot or why doesn't it matter?

I’ve made the effort to secure mine and am aware of how the trusted protection module works with keys, Fedora’s Anaconda system, the shim, etc. I’ve seen where some here have mentioned they do not care or enable secure boot. Out of open minded curiosity for questioning my biases, I would like to know if there is anything...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

You have to turn off Secure Boot to enable hibernation, and I value hibernation enough to do so.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

While I believe you, I haven’t been able to enable hibernation with it on.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

So I’d have to rebuild the kernel, not just provide a kernel argument? That’s definitely not a step I’m ready for.

I am the only woman in a group text with 8 guy friends in a professional program - I would really appreciate your thoughts on this and why: is this acceptable/not a big deal? Weird? Scandalous?

Based on this, I might have more specific follow-up questions. Please be kind with me as this program just started, and we are all really just trying to create friend groups as efficiently as possible and have good intentions, before everyone gets set in their ways so to speak. Thank you!...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

You’re just asking if it’s okay for you to be in a professional group chat with other professionals? Yes. What’s your follow up question?

Against all odds, an asteroid mining company (AstroForge) appears to be making headway (arstechnica.com)

On Tuesday the co-founders announced that they have successfully raised $40 million in Series A funding and shared plans for their next two missions. AstroForge has now raised a total of $55 million to date....

The docking mechanism is simple—since the asteroid is likely to be iron-rich, Vestri will use magnets to attach itself.

Love this.

So what did it take for you to go to Linux? (kbin.melroy.org)

I'm asking what big motivational factors contributed to you into going Linux full-time. I don't count minor inconveniences like 'oh, stutter lag in a game on windows' because that really could be anything in any system. I'm talking, something Windows or Microsoft has done that was so big, that made you go "fuck this, I will go...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

No longer being able to run Windows 7, the pinnacle of Windows.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Shower helps wake me up. Also gives me an opportunity to sob a little in privacy.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

They usually come as pajama sets that have matching pants and shirts. I’d check places like Target, JCPenney, etc., especially around the winter holidays.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I mean, how else are you going to do a speed test?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Mix with mayo, have with everything (including the obvious: sushi).

Or mix with sour cream and have with potato products.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

6’ cat wheel. Did not run on it once. Drove it two hours to a friend’s house.

$250

TheButtonJustSpins ,

This. OP clearly found a theme that works for them.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Symfonium for music!

Edit: Very different experience than PowerAmp though. Just looked at screenshots. Looks cool af.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

White people can’t be terrorists.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Need to get some sociologists on this to determine if Irish people counted as White at the time.

When I was probably somewhere around 10-12, I was walking backward and turned around right into a wall. Fell onto my back, then ran to the bathroom and threw up 6-7 times.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Is that where all the government computers run Ubuntu?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Ah, thanks! I knew it was somewhere.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

They’re not attractive to you. Everyone is attractive to someone.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Nah, you grossly underestimate the kink community.

You can get dental work for cheap or free by reaching out to dental schools near you. They always need patients for their students.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Try ThinLinc and ThinLinc server - they work great for me.

How do you deal with the poor and desperate around you? (Homeless or some stranger who is in an utterly helpless position)

I am low on money these days and my life is hell for it. I have to do with substandard everything in my life I recently had an incident where an elderly woman asked me for money while roaming the street with her family begging for money. I had no money to spare, but had I had any, I wouldn’t have given a penny to her (Life is...

Vote for politicians who support UBI.

If someone tricks you out of $20 by saying they need it, that says bad things about their character but good things about yours.
