    Dealing with stock Windows 11 to create Bootable Mint USB is pretty nightmarish

  • View post

    If I&amp;#39;m not mistaken Windows 11 limited access to internal storage, forcing sign up to cloud storage. I think they&amp;#39;re trying to simulate ChromeOS.

    Confirmed. The ASUS e203m shows only about 3gb of storage available while running windows 11...16gb available running Linux Mint. Is this because of bloat?

    Using a computer (running Mint LMDE 7) not tied to my &amp;quot;identity&amp;quot; has the free feeling of a cool breeze on sweaty matted hair as you run your hand through it to allow the breeze to reach your scalp.

    Why are Canadian and European Debian mirrors so much faster?

    So on this ASUS E203M, Mint Cinnamon was lagging and unable to stream a song off of archive.org without gapping and hiccuping. Same computer running Mint LMDE 7, can stream audio and install VLC at the same time, no hiccups. Installing Tidal Hi-Fi while streaming Billy Strings 2026-04-08. Sounds perfect.

    But seriously, does anyone have an idea for how to keep this audio center laptop from being moved? Maybe a physical restraint? Maybe a locked kiosk mode? Any advice on kiosk mode for Linux?

    Did Cory Doctorow coin the term *technopoly*? &amp;quot;the &amp;quot;technopoly,&amp;quot; where &amp;quot;the only ideas and thoughts that have social and cultural legitimacy are those that support, are supported by, and are mediated through technology.&amp;quot; From: https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/16/technopoly/#trumpismo-is-praxis-question-mark-exclamation-point

    I&amp;#39;d like to figure out how to get jarring/discordant music to play on corporate/retail spotify playlists, somehow tricking the sorting algorithm to play loud or distorted songs on &amp;quot;cafe&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;relaxing afternoon&amp;quot; store playlists. How could this be done? Waveform analysis?

    I am starting to see real cost barriers in my industry (construction). These cost barriers are causing projects to be cancelled. These is what 2008/2009 looked like, from a different angle.
