I mean, he's been implementing hard right policies all along, so...

The default actually works pretty well these days.

Messing with the EFI partition, for instance by attempting to have two of those on separate disks, will probably cause you more pain than Windows will. As far as I understand, only one EFI partition can be configured in BIOS as the boot partition, so you will have to change the configuration in BIOS whenever you want to boot to the other OS.

Windows does have a history of changing the default EFI bootloader once in a while; however your chosen bootloader is still there, just not marked as the default anymore. A Windows app like EasyUEFI will let you change the default back.

The ONE time in half a decade I take a trip to Seattle...

"Possible cyberattack" plus "no threat actors or ransomware group has taken responsibility" sounds to me like someone fucked up and is timid about owning up.

She's pretty and deserves neck scritches. :) Also needs to see a farrier.

Yup, that's a giant house spider. No kidding, that's the vernacular name of the species, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_house_spider. Formerly filed under the tegenaria genus, now its own genus.

They're comically large and terror-inducing, but not aggressive. And they keep out more aggressive species too.

Windows 98 really sucked and running Unix at home became an option.

Was this a mistake?

Clarifying: are you asking if downloading the Proton Mail app through the Google Play Store gives Google access to your Proton account? If so, the answer is no.

Hey, friend. This sounds super stressful, and I hope things will not take too long to be sorted out. I hope you'll manage to make room to take care of yourself too until you get to the other side of this. I'm rooting for you!

All labels are imperfect, I guess. That's the nature of labels: a shorthand for a complex reality.

I don't know if the "trans" label is or isn't a good shorthand for the complex reality of your identity. But the important thing is: your identity is valid and yours, regardless of what labels you stick on it.

If you feel that you are a woman, be that partially or completely, then congratulations, girl, there you go. Or maybe what you feel like switches back and forth depending on your mood, or maybe you exist somewhere in the middle. That's valid too. There are other labels worth exploring in that space, non-binary, genderfluid... I suppose the only really useful thing here is to work out which ones resonate with you as a suitable shorthand for who you are.

Oh and who you are attracted to is irrelevant. Lots of trans gals are lesbians. Doesn't make them any less trans.

Firefox's stance on privacy, like Apple's, is to some extent branding. Arguably it always was. You should still use Firefox (or any other third party browser) if it works for you. Ecosystem diversity matters.

They didn't drop the don't be evil thing. It's still right there in the code of conduct where it always was, they just moved it to the conclusion of the document so it's the last thing that remains with you. See for yourself: https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/

The supposed removal is a perfect example of the outrage-bait headlines I'm discussing in another comment.
