That’s funny you say that, because this whole ordeal has made me realize that truth does not matter at all, and it’s a privilege to be able to live as though it does. But in most countries and throughout most of history, what is true doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is what people believe to be true. And only if you work very hard as a society, and get lucky, do those two things coincide.

Case in point: it could have been the case that Obama was a perfect president who made the best possible decisions to most effectively care for all constituents. But that doesn’t matter if right wing media convinces half the country that he’s a radical communist terrorist who is ignoring the constitution to enrich his deep state. Regardless of what Obama did, what happens in response is what people believe he did.

🎶No one else was in the room where it happened🎶

Unfortunately, it just doesn’t matter. The GOP playbook has been: accuse the other side of doing the bad thing, and then do the bad thing, so that when you get accused it sounds like more of the same.

It doesn’t matter if we have 1000 independently verified videos of Elon himself paying vote counters to fake results while holding the newspaper of that day up next to his birth certificate. People against trump will say “yeah, we know”, and people for Trump will say, “he won, get over it”.

It’s the same reason the courts found Trump guilty of falsifying records, and then did nothing: that’s not how this situation resolves itself.

Cooperating with the law is often percieved as an act of defiance with this administration, though.

Side note: If part of your prep for an OS wipe involves making copies of critical information, I recommend re-evaluating your backup strategy. You should be able to lose any device at any time without warning, and not lose any data.

iirc it was using Method 3 on this guide (but my efi path looks different).

Edit: oh, I also definitely used bcdedit /copy to clone the windows entry, and then edited the clone.

Steve Bannon, the one who has openly stated the strat is to “flood the zone,” thereby rendering media coverage useless.

But of course this headline is important and we should all pay attention to it.

Unfortunately, the windows bootloader issues are also ingrained in UEFI for many motherboards. Every few days I start my PC up and it has decided my grub entry is garbage and does me the favor of removing it and defaulting back to the windows bootloader.

I’ve worked around this by adding a bootcfg entry to the windows bootloader that points at grub. Now any time this happens, I pick the grub entry from the windows bootloader, my PC reboots, and now it’ll keep defaulting to grub again until the next time it decides to wipe it.

Well…there is one thing they have in common.

I’m responding to the literal words you said that were inaccurate. Cheers.

No external power (as in foreign govermment) is forcing South Koreans to have fewer kids

From what I can gather from South Koreans on the internet talking about the matter, there is a direct relationship between their country’s capitulation to western hyper-capitalist expectations over the last 50+ years, and this phenomenon. And it wasn’t like the US was hands-off when it came to picking winners in the Korean War; to a large extent, South Korea is the way it is because of US, do you think that’s a relatively safe oversimplification to work from?

It is not standard workflow in git to change the commit history for a branch on the remote. You have to use --force, and the next time someone pulls they also have to --force their any local tracking branch to follow the remote. Every git guide on the internet warns against pushing a rebase for this reason.

Locally you can do whatever. I’m not familiar with Mercurial, but I assume it must work the same as git: I can do whatever I want locally, and only what I push matters. And when I’m doing stupid stuff locally as I organize my changes, rebase is handy.

There’s a fine line between what you’re describing, and colonization. If we agree that the current set of korean families are not going to sustain the population themselves, and we agree that one way to preserve the population is to bring in transplants, then we’re looking at a future South Korea that is primarily owned by people from other countries who had the resources to come in and take over. Which, “racial purity” aside, isn’t great.

Apparently the much bigger issue is that their population curve is irrecoverable. There won’t even be anyone to be racist in a few short decades.

It’s not pseudo-slavery, it’s actual 100% legal slavery according to the words of the 13th Amendment of the US constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States

I’ve found cage to be really convenient when you want to run a single app from a tty. 5s to start gnome + ff is pretty good, though. Not sure how cage would compare.

What wayland compositor do you use for that? Have you tried cage?
