  • The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. Congress passed the Act as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and updated it in 1956, 1981 and 2021.

  • A demonym is a noun that specifically refers to a person from a particular location; you can’t use it as an adjective.

    So in your second list, a school can’t be a Muscovite, since it isn’t a person. You could have met a Muscovite at the school in Moscow.

    You would just say that you dated a Londoner. You would then use an adjective to describe the Londoner further (a female Londoner) or make the sentence longer and a bit clunkier IMO (a Londoner who was a woman)


  • The Exynos, M series, and Qualcomm chips are all ARM architecture, as opposed to the AMD and Intel CPUs, which are x86.

    Because of this, the majority of software wouldn’t natively work on them. Apple has obviously developed versions of many programs that function on their laptops, and could extend the same treatment to the hypothetical desktop product. The other chip companies do not have this benefit, and would have to develop supported software from the ground up



  • You should remove the nvidia drivers. AFAIK leaving them on won’t affect the AMD GPU, but no sense in keeping them if you aren’t using them.

    AMD’s open source drivers work perfectly out of the box and come with the mesa package which comes packaged with most Linux distros, so it’s pretty much plug and play.

    Just some FYI notes : Arch purists might get upset if you ask for help with Arch-derived distros (like Endeavour) on their forums. Also, RTFM. Check if https://wiki.archlinux.org/ has clear answers before asking online. Learning for yourself is always better than being spoonfed
