It is pretty insane how outsized Trump's influence is.

• He sank a bipartisan immigration bill developed, in part, by some of the most conservative members of Congress, with the sole purpose of denying a victory to the Whitehouse.
• He and his most fervent cultists still refuse to concede that he lost the 2020 election.
• Politics of fear and spite, afflicting large swaths of the electorate with such.
• Democrats have been "in power" for... almost 4 years. It's not a mystery, it's simple arithmetic!

Fugg yeah thanks for the tip!. I was not there for krohnkite the first time around, but I'm here for it now.

Whatever you do, steer clear of Plasma Wayland right now. Polonium has a lot of issues.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I will admit that I often wait way too long to use my SoU's. Nice balancing act you did there to punish those of us who cling too hard to the old ways.

It's also really cool to see you using Lemmy!

Anyway, wishing all the continued success to you.

Awesome stuff! I remember when development stopped on Pixel Dungeon all those years ago, and Shattered stayed on my phone after trying out the myriad of variants (Sprouted anyone?).

If you'd indulge me, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on a few things:

• Equipment degradation - This being one of the last features that watabou implemented before halting the project always seemed kind of extreme to me. What do you think about the mechanics of it, and do you think it could have been improved upon, if development had not ended? Have you tested with it much in development for Shattered?

• The other projects from watabou have been pretty cool to see. His proc-generative skills have really shone with the TTRPG tools, and I have actually used them in my own campaign, to some extent. Just wondering if you have checked them out.

• Any aspirations of starting something new, or is it SPD from here on?

Thanks for sharing your gift to the world! It's helped me pass countless hours enjoyably.

He's had insane shit with animals his whole life. In his teens he had a hawk that went everywhere with him. Check out the latest Behind the Bastards series on him it's fuckin cray

I'd put the swarm of flies in the top tier, since they're your first opportunity to farm health potions.

You haven't provided any info about your partition scheme for either drive, but I assume you've got your bootloader installed in an EFI partition in the newer drive. You will still have an EFI partition on the old drive created by the Ubuntu installer, so just be sure you know which bootloader you're using.

Option 1 and 2 aren't functionally any different. It's not clear what issues you're worried about, but if you're nervous about breaking the Ubuntu installation, you might just want to wait until you can get the new drive.

You also don't give any indication of how much data you have that you want to keep. If the 2tb drive is almost full, you have fewer options than if it is mostly empty or half full. You could resize your EXT4 partition and create a new partition, for example, allowing you to mount a fresh, clean filesystem to a subfolder in your home directory. Once the data migration is finished, you can format the old partitions and mount them somewhere else, or resize the newer partition over them. Be aware that your HDD will eventually fail mechanically, however. Maybe 5 years from now or next week, but they all fail someday.

It's not clear to me what the goal of option 3 is, but it's dependent on how you use your machine. If you want to install a lot of applications or games that you want to run fast, you don't want to migrate a bunch of your data to your newer SSD. If you just want a temporary place to store the data you want to keep until you can format the old drive, I guess this is a fine approach, but creating a dedicated user for this is just adding unnecessary complexity, IMHO.

I would recommend they follow the full installation guide instead, which is probably one of the best pieces of technical documentation in existence at the moment. The amount of detail, context, and instruction provides both an invaluable learning experience and introduction to Linux.

archinstall is not foolproof; that's why I wouldn't recommend it to an absolute beginner. IMHO, It's more valuable for people who are familiar with the process and want a shortcut.

As great as archinstall is, it can't possibly account for every contingency. Troubleshooting a bootloader issue, for example, is easy if you've installed one before. If a noob managed to navigate the TUI (with all of the confusing questions and settings) and complete the installation only to have something go wrong there, they're off it, maybe for good.

I'm really sorry your parents did that to you.

Two DEs enter the steel cage... Only one will emerge.

Ah yes, the days when batshit was so rapidly spewing from his mouth that I could barely remember what he said the week prior.
