How do you downvote a post in Lemmy?

efstajas ,

It really feels like no matter what community you look at on Lemmy, every 3rd post is Windows bad Linux good. It's honestly a bit exhausting. And I've been running Linux for over a decade...

For real lol makes me feel a little alienated. I just want to play games on my computer

nikaaa ,

I swear, it's no longer possible to distinguish satire from reality.

Ilovethebomb ,

If you have a hard time telling this is satire, you might just be a bit dim.

Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can't start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(

There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I'm assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.

OrnateLuna ,

Windows might have changed the boot order in your bios, so just go into your bios and check if the mint partition is set to boot first

nixcamic ,

Yeah with EFI the days of Windows completely overwriting your Linux bootloader are mostly over.

I'm glad this wasn't posted like 3 weeks ago when my laptop battery died on me. otherwise I woulda thought this was legit happening

And it’s your fault if it happens to you, because we sent you EMAILS telling you it was going to happen!

Good to know VGA and parallel port devices are safe.

maynarkh ,

Nah, they'll just sue you if you're using VGA instead of HDMI since it obviously means you are trying to crack DRM and thus running afoul of DMCA.

Everyone loves listening to their favorite purchased movie while watching a black screen

maynarkh ,

Nuh-uh, sound has to go over HDMI as well. You may only partake in your own culture through DRM-approved channels.

This got me thinking, could you still get an abortion in the bad parts of the US if you trademarked your DNA, and claimed that the condom breaking violated DMCA?

You know, show up at the doctors with a ton of papers headlined

CEASE AND DESIST

Or at least get child support out of Durex?
