Hop on, we’re going to Sonderfahrt

You probably know most of it so just some advice: Don’t format the Partition table (MBR to GPT etc.) on the disk whose data you wish to keep.

Shrinking a partition or moving it carries a small risk of data loss and will take significantly longer than creating a new partition (since data needs to be cut and pasted from one area of the disk to another). If your old laptop has an empty slot for another SSD or NVME drive you can plug that in, and still dualboot and having the new drive Linux only.

Also to deal with the occasional Windows cockups, just carry a boot-repair USB, the auto repair has fixed the Windows issue for me 90% of the time (the other times are usually boot order priority or other BIOS setting)

There are a good selection, inside the display sheds and outside. Many Diesel locos and switchers, i think a couple electric ones, a big steam one and some other smaller steam ones. And various types of cabooses and cars, like a whole mail car exhibit.

We will have to take every W we can get, no matter how small.

I’ve got to stay on my Local feed for the next few days, after recent news. Thank you @Sunshine@lemmy.ca. I still have some hope for the future of my home and native land, even if things are trending badly on the federal side.

I’m already too optimistic but perhaps a more direct awareness campaign on how climate denialism, economic isolationism and anti-immigration stances hurt themselves, their friends family and neighbors, and directly make their lives worse.

Yep. Big corps are going to have their payday. Fixing Trumpism and the whole, “I got mine, fuck y’all else” American attitude is a problem I have no solution for.

Rampant capitalism and corporate feudalism, there are many different solutions to resist it. Some are violent, but the ones I would prefer are starting more collectivism in the local community. Just like how in the Fediverse and FOSS communities, like-minded individuals share thoughts, knowledge, crafts, media. This can be expanded to all fields, some easier than others. There are obviously pain points (moderation, doomscrolling, poor default filtering, clashing ideas and just straight up trolling, limited features, reliance on tons of unpaid volunteer work and so on), but what we’ve got here is impressive despite all that.

Community gardens with shared harvests, municipal and community-owned broadband networks, employee-owned grocers and retail, slowly and broadly expanding outward with a federated and negotiated supply chain model between interested parties.

It’s difficult, will encounter lots of problems as it grows and would cost more time, effort, and money, but this would bring power back to the people rather than those at the top.

Mexico has the potential to become a great democracy, and America will pay for it.

Honestly I thought about it, I’m terrified by the results, but even if things have to get worse over the next 4 years before they get better, the young generation has the time to turn it around. The will to improve? That’s still unknown to me.

I feel bad for Jimmy Carter seeing what his country has become…

At least following MAGA logic, starting next year we can say that Trump is causing the hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes and floods. Mother nature asking nicely hasn’t seemed to get it in people’s heads.

It would take some balls to convict and sentence a President-elect, and of course Trump would have major personal grievances against the Judge, but if justice is blind, he deserves the same punishment as any other New Yorker who would have committed such crimes 34 times.
