@foone welcome to the dark side
@shortridge They're even publicly listed
@rc2014 @socketwench My inverter has an offgrid and ongrid circuit. So I run most of my house on the off-grid system. that way, when there's a power outage, my house just works on batteries for a few hours. Probably best to check your inverter manual, since most modern integrated inverters has these. Most people I know keep non-essential things like their hot water and ovens on the on-grid circuit.
Out of all the problems I could ever foresee for myself, I never thought I'd have to deal with this cripling amount of browser tabs. I can't just close them all because there's really important stuff in there, but I'm trying to close at least 20 per day.
@GossiTheDog "Taking care of our shareholders" <- does that help to clear it up?
@abolitionkelly wow the shameless nerve.

@LALegault Maybe he just wants to make sure that Medicare stays defeated?
@aral Where's all this neoliberalism everyone is talking about?
@mjg59 Well screw them it's my computer I will make it do whatever I damn please.
@historyofpunkrock wasn't born yet but caught the 2nd wave of bands that were all influenced by these, I definitely need to brush up on all the originals!
@LALegault Sadly, yes.
@waldi That, at least, seems to work on EFI systems for Windows 11 media now
I've been helping a student re-installing Windows 11 on his laptop, I can't believe how terrible the user experience is. The latest Windows 11 installer doesn't have drivers for his totally vanilla nvme drivers (I had to download those from the Intel site and provide it on USB), it doesn't have a driver for the touchpad, and the installer is riddled with usability issues that fine all the way back in Windows 98 already. I'd really expect significantly more form a software powerhouse like MS.
@realn2s @LALegault how in the world can you consider someone like that to the left? To the left of what!?
Busy cleaning the garage and rounded up some old CPUs. They could do with some cleaning too. #vintagecomputing

@vkc I like all of those and think they're great, but also find that just plain Debian is sufficient for me!
