Standalone without the meme:

I switched from Windows to EndeavourOS a few months ago and haven’t had any issues on my personal computer, it’s amazing.

I also have EndeavourOS as a VM on my work laptop and I somehow managed to break systemd-boot when trying to do a system update though. The system update died halfway through and I defaulted to the classic solution of rebooting, which definitely made things worse because my boot partition in the VM broke. The great thing about Linux, and especially Arch, is the tools and knowledge readily available to fix things and everything was working again (with no data loss) in under 15 minutes. I’ve dealt with similar problems on Windows and either had to accept data loss or deal with significant headaches trying to resolve what should be a simple issue because the operating system refuses to provide basic information.

Yeah, it just shows that the artist 麵包 (https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/11500734) posted the original picture.

Someone on twitter posted the most likely source: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/87271896#manga

It looks like this isn’t actually from the original show.

I skimmed through it and it’s as stupid as you’d expect. The person in the video pretends to connect wires together, plugs a USB cable into a phone, then downloads an app to prove the increased internet speed. Comments are disabled and generic music plays over the video instead of any commentary.

People claimed that she didn’t have much of an internet presence beyond her instagram and an unused TikTok account.

Zephyr has been my main for a long time and would be an easy pick for this. Breeze through mobile defense with turbulence, tornado for everything else except spy. As long as you know the spy routes, operator just makes things even easier.

I can’t find anything backing that claim, but a Republican congressman did suggest it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1v3gM8yG91Q

I assume you’re implying that John’s problem is that he’s constantly called out for shitty behavior by the groups listed. I think everyone understand’s John’s problem, they just think he’s wrong.

The original scene: https://www.tiktok.com/@tm.jy/video/7246655883751558426 (I could only find a TikTok link unfortunately).

For those who don’t want to click through, Tom is hit on the head by a woman (an actual racist caricature named Mammy Two Shoes) and starts to think he’s a mouse. He grows buck teeth (like a mouse or rat), starts eating cheese, and attempts to sleep on Jerry’s bed (as seen in the meme).

It’s important to recognize racist stereotypes, especially with how prevalent they were in old cartoons, but it’s also important to avoid jumping to conclusions and calling out problems that aren’t there.

The story is called “Sally” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_(short_story)). I couldn’t find a readily available copy of The Complete Robot online, but Z-Library has it.

Even if some of the information is outdated, although I believe it’s all still valid, the main points / TL;DR are absolutely relevant. It’s unlikely that the main bureaus will change, and although the exact steps for freezing may change over time, the emphasis on freezing is important.

There are actually more than 3 providers and you should put a freeze on everything you can. You only need unfrozen credit for applying for new lines of credit (loans, credit cards, etc), and unfreezing is a quick process (15 minutes or so).

Here’s a pretty comprehensive guide for protecting yourself: https://old.reddit.com/r/IdentityTheft/comments/uvv3ij/psa_freezing_your_three_main_credit_reports_is/

It’s better to take these steps before you get your identity stolen rather than after. These steps can prevent your leaked information from being used against you.

Good guess. That appears to be a character by Dross named Onyx, who is male.

“Tap” is being used as a noun here. It took me a bit to get it.

Russ McNamara is the Detroit reporter mentioned.

You can have multiple spaces in a community. Some for discussion, some not for discussion. You can also have different communities, some that allow discussion and some that don’t. To expand on the house analogy, if someone walked into a Star Wars themed bar with a shirt reading “Star Trek is the superior sci-fi show” and people got mad and tried to force the Star Trek to leave, they would be justified. That example is overly dramatic, but there are spaces online and offline where people want to enjoy or discuss a thing and should not have to be subjected to people who disagree with them. If some wants discussion, they can create a new space and advertise that space as friendly and open to discussion.

This post is a perfect example of being a space open to discussion. The OP wanted discussion and so people come in with that mindset. But if the OP said “What’s everyone favorite fruit?” and someone commented saying “I hate fruit”, that comment would not be appropriate for the post. It would be off topic and inflammatory and likely be cleaned up (removed) by a moderator. I know people believe that moderators can overreach, but those spaces belong to the moderators. If you don’t like how they police a community, find or make a new community.
