Ok nerds who understand Windows Partitions.

This is my laptop C: drive and its many partitions. It was created from an sysimage backup to a new replacement drive. I now want to dump the D: drive and recover its space on the C drive. Can this be done? If so, what is the precise sequence of delete, extend, etc.

@shoq You may want to grab a gparted boot disk and try doing the moves from there. Windows gets mad when you try yo fiddle with recovery partitions.

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@shoq You grab a USB, an iso of gparted live and a copy of Rufus or Linux live boot creator. It will make a bootable USB out of the iso. Boot from the USB and then use the tool from the live disk to fix up your partitions.

Journalist @dangillmor, who used to have 43,500 followers at The Dead Bird's Graveyard, is now on Mastodon, where he is followed by 31,000.

I have an idea: Let's beat his follower count at the old place!

Please boost. 🚀

@randahl On the Ukraine note if you aren't following @kevinrothrock and @timkmak I highly recommend them.

I just had a splendid idea, if I do say so myself.

How about if I take little mini breaks around the country over the coming year and visit various locations associated with famous books and authors.

I mean like I've just picked up wuthering heights so perhaps a trip to Yorkshire is in order. I'm sure the Brontë sisters home is still up there.

Hailing frequencies are open! In preparation for Enterprise, we’re taking FoD suggestions for new squares on the revamped Game Of Buttholes board.

What’s your best idea for a new Enterprise inspired square?

@GreatestTrek Long Road Square: Takes the place of the Caretaker square and drops you onto a random place on the board.

Chef's Special: you have to do review dishes a la Factory Seconds during the ep.

It insane to me how often women are not given pain management for gynecological procedures, because many many years ago a male doctor who's never had a vagina, cervix, or uterus decided that there weren't enough nerve endings up there to hurt significantly. I think it's time to put this fallacy to bed. It most definitely does hurt, and people who have literally no experience with female equipment don't get to decide this for me. Trust me docs, you don't want to taste your own medicine on this.

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@RickiTarr It's pretty horrifying that white male doctors have spent the last few centuries just looking at women and BIPOC people in general and arbitrarily deciding " yeah I'm pretty sure they don't feel pain" all screams to the contrary...

Jamie, to FamilyGuy
@Jamie@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

I hear great things about how well done the progressivism of is and that it’s a great show besides. I’d like to give it a chance, but I have some problems with .

, his most well known property, is riddled with racism misogyny, and the like that, for me, crosses the line. I personally cancelled him a long time ago.

Help me though- has he gone on an “apology tour” (i.e. expressed regret)? Is modern Family Guy better? How can I forgive his past transgressions?

mikey,
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@Jamie TBH I never watched family guy so I can't speak to what he did on that show or what he's said about it or its themes.

As far as Orville, it is progressive-ish is some ways. Though I will say at times it feel like it might be doing so almost in a way that is meant to poke fun? I don't know, I could never really tell where it was on that spectrum. I think it was meant to be a positive Star Trek like show, but you definitely have the aire of a comedy writer there. Show message unclear.

To all FoD's, everywhere! Ben and Adam are recording the Voyager retrospective episode tomorrow and want to see if you have any suggestions for Voyager topics and questions for them to discuss on the episode.

What questions do you want them to discuss on the episode?

@Cassandra Interestingly I bought a book for my kids to help explain gender identity to them and approximated at birth is probably the best way to describe how it explains it.

Even for Britain the class divide in this company is ridiculous.

Seriously, the management are one step removed from appearing in a Jane Austen novel.

@NickGates You can require confirmation for followers. And you can set posting defaults to followers only. Between the two only accounts she allowed would be distributed her posts in their timelines

mikey,

@NickGates Have her set this posting policy and uncheck these two boxes. That should do the trick.

@NickGates Indeed.
I go there for supplies for my bunny. This time of year, they have baby ducklings and baby chicks for sale. I very nearly get roped into bringing home a brood by the family.
