This is already a Commercial Driver’s License requirement. What is the specific issue here?
“Interpreters are prohibited during the administration of skills tests. Applicants must be able to understand and respond to verbal commands and instructions in English by a skills test examiner.” CDL Standards
It’s already part of the federal commercial driver regulations too
If it is already part of the rules, what makes this EO a bad thing? Sounds like it’s just enforcing a status-quo that nobody had an issue with.

Just keep participating. Other platforms will occasionally explode, people will look here, and if they see activity, many will stay.
If you look at active user charts for Lemmy, basically every time Reddit explodes, Lemmy picks up permanent users.
no distro is best
And the nice thing is this isn’t like MacOS vs Windows. Knowledge gained in one distro is transferable to other distros. Just pick one and get started, you can always change later if you wish.
Ok, he actually did a good job with the sponsor slot, writing a script for it complete with ascii art.
Picked it up, excited to try it out. :)
For linux people, if you are having troubles launching it, add the following environment variable to the game (if you are using the Heoric launcher, it’s in the game-specific settings menu under Advanced): WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b
If by hypersonic missile they mean ‘the standard ballistic missiles everyone has had since the 60s’ then, sure.
This game looks pretty solid. Worth playing?
No, it’s a small enough problem everywhere in the US that putting any real thought into “will people reject me because of my skin” (as OP asks) is overthinking it.
Categories most would recognize are ‘asian’, ‘black’, ‘white’, and sometimes ‘hispanic’ or ‘middle eastern’. Most people aren’t going to get much more specific than that.
The racism you see on the news certainly exists, but remember what you see on the news is news because it is rare. You don’t see every obituary and car crash, because such common occurrences aren’t news.
It is something I wouldn’t put too much thought into regardless of your race.
There are lots of places where the only impediment to additional usable water is simply building a facility to treat more water, facilities which these AI data center owners are themselves paying for (usually indirectly via a bill from the water utility). The article also doesn’t mention any reasons whatsoever why water usage is an issue. It isn’t like dehydrating crops in the Sahara will be impacted by water cooled data centers in Columbus, OH.
GOG games work great as well, I have recently been playing my GOG copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on Mint. You will want to use the Heoric Launcher as GOG doesn’t have their own Linux client. That launcher also works with Epic and Amazon games if you have any of those.
I personally recommend Mint as the out-of-the-box experience is very familiar to a Windows user and the OS comes with everything one would expect a desktop OS to have pre-installed. That said, don’t stress too hard over the distro. This isn’t like Windows vs MacOS where everything is completely different. No, basically all your knowledge of one distro is transferable to another distro if you decide to change it up in the future.
At this point, I just assume a game works in Linux unless proven otherwise. Hit install in Steam and then hit play, no extra effort required. There are some that won’t, mostly games that use kernel-level anti-cheats and specifically disable the game if running in Linux. There are only a few dozen games total that fit this description. ProtonDb is a great resource for confirming if a game works or what tweaks might be desired. Anything rated Gold or higher you can assume will just work without you having to mess with it.
Linux is less of a resource hog than Windows, so if your computer is strong enough for Windows, it will work great on Linux too.
If you wish to dual boot, using two different drives is generally the way to go. Doing two different partitions works, but Windows really, really hates other OSes being installed along side it, even other Windows installs. Gaming is my primary pastime and I haven’t booted into my Windows drive in months. From my experience for the average person, a dual boot is only something you will want temporarily as you get used to the unfamiliar OS.
Good luck on your swap. I’m damn happy I did it and hope you will be too!
It also has the fun problem of there being about a dozen different companies or people I can call if I need roadside assistance. I’m just really confused why one of them failing is an issue.
It’s getting tougher and tougher for the company to explain where all of them went.
The price was the big one. It delivered at twice the initially advertised price. Took it from being very competitive with ICE trucks to costing much, much more.
Russia is free to go home any day. There is no universe where what you mention is somehow a better play for Russia than simply going home.
We must insure they do not win their war of conquest, otherwise there will simply be more.
Knowing the origins of the last worldwide pandemic is critical to preventing a repeat incident.
Every language does this. It isn’t colonialism, it’s convenience and practicality. Some sounds don’t exist or are awkward, so a different name is used instead.
Make a textfile you sync between your devices. Save the URL, book name, or whatever; each on a new line.
You can tag them at will. Put “#TagName” next to an entry and later you can ctrl-f “#TagName” (or anything else) in the file. Notepad++, grep, and other tools will even give you a list of everything that matched your search criteria if you want to see all items that match at once.
I like to keep things simple!
