In my install of #LMDE7 on my mid 2009 13" #MacBookPro the #GRUBMenu isn't loading during #booting, #UpdateManager & #Telegram ain't appearing on the #panel & they should, & the icon for #Floorp (Firefox based) browser after last update is incorrectly showing as Firefox's on the plank. #LMDE #Linux

Kira Josie Murphy @adarkhairedone.bsky.social · 3d

@floorp-browser.bsky.social For your info I just upgraded the #Flatpak version of #Floorp that's on my laptop to the latest version which is 12.3.1. I'm running #LMDE7 on a mid 2009 #MacBookPro. & since the upgrade the Floorp icon in my plank is reverting to a Firefox icon.

... The restoration of the files will take some significant time, but it will be a worthwhile thing to do. This time I'll backup my files in more then 1 way & in more than 1 spot.

... At least most of the music was just copied off of CDs I still have & most of the documents were poems of mine that're on my poetry blog. Most of the other documents can be found again & most of the other music can be found again too, but sadly I did lose a few of my poems. ...

Before upgrading to #LMDE7 I used the #LinuxMint #Tool called #BackupTool to create a #FileBackup of the files in my home directory. I've just discovered it didn't backup my Documents & Music folders as it was supposed to. I'm feeling really #PissedOff!!! #BackupFail #LMDE #Linux ...

That #StockExchanges are #immoral 'cause they promote the treating of things like food, housing, health care, & education etc as worthy of existing as solely vehicles for monetary creation & accumulation. & that 'cause of this they should be made illegal.

Successfully completed a #CleanInstall of #LMDE7 on my mid 2009 13" #MacBookPro followed by, thankĺs to a thorough DuckDuckGo search, installation of the missing #WiFiDriver. All that's left is to finish installing a few additional apps & my files, & configure everything to my liking. #LMDE #Linux

... All I can do now is use my mom's mid 2011 13" #MacBookPro to make an #LMDE7 #BootableUSB on a #USBStick of mine, & than use the bootable USB stick to overweight my system with a #CleanInstall of #LMDE7. Things'll go good this time. They'll go good this time. #LMDE #Linux

... So I restored my system back to #LMDE6 using the #Timeshift app & the #SystemSnapshot I did before running the #InPlaceUpgrade command. But now my system will only render the plank. #LMDE #Linux ...

98% sure the #InPlaceUpgrade command for #LMDE7 I ran in the terminal of the install of #LMDE6 on my mid 2009 13" #MacBookPro only whent 90% ok. There's evidence some files that should of been erased may not've been, & #GRUB may not've been configured qite right or I got a GRUB bug. #LMDE #Linux ...

Every time someone talks about “curing” autism, what they’re really saying is:

That autism is a disease
That we are broken
That we shouldn’t exist

It’s not just wrong - it’s dehumanising

We’re not a problem to be solved.
We’re real, valid humans

Why is that so hard to see?

I found Ubuntu's boot time to be atrocious. It gave me enough time to make a simple ham sandwich before completing. If you want a #UbuntoDased distro I'd suggest, depending on your hardware, either #LinuxMint or #PopOS.

#VPNServices work the same with #LinuxMint as with any other OS. But If you prefer a #VPN that you setup through your router Linux Mint comes preinstalled with a GUI tool for seting 1 up.

I'm looking into getting an #IBMThinkPad that I can upgrade with new parts. I also plan to get an #ExternalHardDrive so my mom & I can start doing regular on-site backups of our computers. & I may even get a big #FlatScreenComputerMonitor for my setup. My #OS will still be #LMDE of course. #Linux
