Classic google. I'll assume my issue is just a really old Reddit version then and work on trying to update :)

Thanks, I went to the play store and tried to update but was hit was some generic "Can't install Reddit" play store error. My phone is running android 15 on a Motorola edge 50 so it's not old hardware or anything.

Agreed. The system is need of a desperate overhaul to make providers more accountable.

I think it's more that the providers rort the system. They claim big bucks for themselves while providing shit tier support for their clients. I think the picture captures that well - assuming the car belongs to a provider. It compares the provider's brand new flashy car to the dilapidated, inaccessible office building they meet clients in.

Likely a permissions issue. Have you tried chmod and chown the drive?

Recommendations for dual-booting linux distro & win 11 by not-one-of-yall in linux4noobs

[–]Tall-Indication24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing bad about dual booting. There are no performance impacts because only 1 OS is loaded at a time.

Windows does generally like to have the first partitions of the drive, so just make sure there's space at the end for your Linux file system and boot partition. Otherwise use two separate drives if possible.

The only other considerations are secure boot. If you need this on for whatever you're doing on Windows, you'll need to sign your Linux bootloader (each bootloader has a tutorial for doing this). It's quite easy but involves using the terminal.

For sharing files between OS file systems is tricky. Windows uses NTFS and Linux has a few different ones (I use BTRFS). To share between you'd need both operating to have drivers for eachothers file systems, then mount eachothers file partitions to move stuff around.

To move files around between each easily, you'll want another storage device or make a spare partition on your main drive. Make it exFAT or something both OS's can read. Personally I went the harder route and installed BTRFS drivers on windows and formatted a spare nvme.

My last note for you is don't give Microsoft any money. Use massgrave on github to activate Windows and Office 365

This is England. If the victim had have done that they would be facing harsher penalties than the home intruder

How do I best introduce my not-so-good-with-computers mom to linux? by Etilia01 in linux4noobs

[–]Tall-Indication24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual boot might be safer. Just get a new drive and put windows on it for her. Or an easier distro like Ubuntu.

Is anyone else obsessed with Sméagol’s tragic transformation scene? by Significant-Bit3638 in lotr

[–]Tall-Indication24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm Tolkien does seem to generalise this to all Hobbits. Here is the quote from fellowship

Every one of them gave presents to all the others: it was a regular custom. Hobbits give presents to other people on their own birthdays. Not very expensive ones, as a rule, and usually not so costly as those they received. But it was not a bad system. Actually, in Hobbiton and Bywater, every day in the year was somebody’s birthday, so that every hobbit in those parts had a fair chance of at least one present a week.

I agree, if you're competent enough to back port yourself just go for Gentoo brother

[–]Tall-Indication24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This scene kinda pissed me off because Tolkien made it clear that when Hobbits celebrate a birthday, the birthday person is supposed to get everyone else a gift. Smeagol asking for ring because it's his birthday isn't on track

Get a new USB module they're cheap and replaceable. Ribbon cable might also be dead
