This is what I think happened that I wrote on another comment:

It's weird, but I had Fedora installed on my secondary SSD. Apparently when I did a clean Windows install, it installed in the primary SSD but took a part of Fedora on the secondary SSD as a Windows EFI partition. Then, when I installed EOS I selected "erase the disk" for the secondary SSD. I think it erased that EFI partition and I couldn't go back to windows, but since the primary SSD still had my files I could still see them. To be honest, something like that never happened before so I'm not even sure of what I'm saying.

Tbh I'm not even sure if that's what happened, I just didn't find an easy solution apart from starting over.

I was using UEFI I think? I used Rufus to make the bootable flash drive and it just gave me either MBR or GPT, when I selected GPT it showed me the UEFI option to the right (iirc). I spent all day seeing these comments and at the end of the day I had to delete everything in my hard drives and start over again...

That's the problem not even the bios is reading windows after the EOS installation. I keep changing the order of things but when I boot from the other SSD it just says "checking media" and then "failed" and it gets looped over and over again.

But I can still see the windows drives and partitions from EOS... It's the weirdest ting that I've seen... Would you recommend just doing a clean install of everything in that case?

Yeah, I feel stupid, I'm sorry.

So when I had Windows installed before, Windows was separated into 4 partitions, (not sure why), and then I installed Fedora on Disk1 (secondary SSD), and it looked to me (emphasis in "looked to me") like it was only one whole partition.

However, after doing a clean W11 install it showed up as a single partition (which I was not used to) and Disk1 separated into 3 partitions, and aside from that, my laptop was no longer giving me the option to boot into either W11 or Fedora, it was just going straight to W11. That's where my confusion was from and since I already had installed everything I needed I didn't want to lose the progress.

I went to BIOS and it showed me that the boot menu was F12 (I didn't know this before) and lo and behold, I am once again able to enter Fedora, it was just me being a noob and not knowing any better. Sorry for wasting everyone's time! :(

It's probably not as bad as some of the comments I'm reading here, but it was about Demon Salyer. I met my wife's little cousin (she is 12yo) about a month ago, and she was talking about anime (Demon Slayer, in this case) and she asked me who my favorite character was.

I had finished the manga, so I told her that I didn't have any because none of them really spoke to me and asked her what was her favorite. She said it was Shinobu because it was "her comfort character" (I had no clue what that meant at that moment), and not having thought about the fact that not everyone read the manga, I immediately said that:

spoilershe was cool but it was a shame that she died a gruesome and slow death
I realized my fuck up when she started just tearing up, didn't know what to do so I said I was really sorry and left.

I'm not a grammar expert and English is not my first language but I think I used to say this before and I just ended up taking out the "what it is" and changed it for the thing I'm trying to remember:

There's a thing that I don't know the name of

Or

There's a thing that I don't know how to describe

Or

There's a thing whose purpose is a mystery to me

Is that what you're refering to? Sorry if it's not. I don't think any of the first three examples are correct, or at least they sound really weird to me.

Please do correct me if there's an English mayor somewhere though!

This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn't install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I'm new to Linux so I don't know much and I had been distro hopping).

My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.

I heard her tell my wife "wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it's so impressive that he can read code like that I didn't know he could do that"

All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro...

Now it's making a lot more sense, thank you so much!

Article 25(3)(c): For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission

Sorry, but can someone ELI5 this one for me?

Although I (think I) speak/write English very well, it'a still not my native language and this specific article was extremely confusing for me, I don't really understand what it means

I joined the waitlist months ago and all I heat is Bluesky is growing but I still have no news about being able to use it...

For the next time, if you want .flacs, just use Soulseek.

Option 1: Firefox (or any firefox variant like Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf) + uBlock Origins, if that doesn't work -

Option 2: avoid the sites, don't give them traffic, and -

Option 3: if you really need to read that article, use 12ft ladder and it will probably work.
