F*ck Windows: move to Fedora or Ubuntu in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] 8 points 1 week ago

I didn’t want to program shit; I don’t care about command line; I love a good gui and didn’t want to fuck with finicky drivers. Moving to Ubuntu from Windows allowed me to continue to use my mostly browser-based computing existence without having to learn to use a new tool. I may not use Arch but one less Windows victim must be a step in a better direction.

    The best adult film (clip; I’m not a millionaire) that I’ve seen in a while featured a muppet. I wouldn’t cry over a remake.

    Canada rejected more than half of all World Cup visitor applications in c/canada@lemmy.ca

    « Overall, citizens of countries that require eTAs to enter Canada had an approval rate of 96 per pent, compared to just 32 per cent for those that need a visa. »

    Seems like applications from countries with an established electronic information exchange program were easier to validate with enough time to accommodate the short World Cup window.

    Fruity Feathered Friend

    (TheRealBigRed) (2024)

    Image description: A creatively crafted owl sits, made entirely from the body of a pineapple. The top leaves of the pineapple form a crown, mimicking the plumage of an owl. Its eyes, carved from the golden flesh of the fruit, are wide and expressive. The meticulous design transforms an ordinary pineapple into a representation of an owl, showcasing both nature’s and human’s artistry.

    In a Victory for Poland Spring, Maine Rejects New Groundwater Limits

    The bottled-water company last year tried to kill legislation aimed at protecting aquifers at a time when many are at risk nationally.

    Maine’s Legislature voted down a bill that would have limited large-scale pumping of groundwater in the state. Poland Spring, the bottled-water giant, had lobbied aggressively against the measure.

    The proposal would have placed a 10-year limit on large-scale water-extraction contracts, a restriction that the bill’s supporters said would protect Maine’s precious groundwater at a time when water levels are falling across the country. It failed to pass on Thursday by a 21-to-12 vote in the State Senate.

    Poland Spring, a major presence in Maine, draws water from eight locations around the state to bottle and sell. It is trying to lock in a new contract of up to 45 years to pump water in Lincoln, a former mill town.

    BlueTriton — which owns Poland Spring and other major bottled-water brands, including Arrowhead and Deer Park — lobbied against the changes. Last year, The New York Times reported that the company wrote, and circulated among legislators, a proposed amendment that would have gutted the bill.
