There is ntfs support in the kernel, so there isn’t a distro that can’t touch windows partitions and in fact they have to at least link to them in order to install a dual boot bootloader. Just don’t mess with your windows partitions if you’re worried about it, but better option is to keep backups.
If you want to know how something works, ask and I’ll set it up and answer.

If .world won’t pay someone impeccably qualified to perform this job, some other group will.
I bet a sufficiently motivated asset could juggle several different intelligence agencies, ngos/lobbying organizations and criminal syndicates and turn this into a ~100k a year gig.
I don’t know if it’s profitable, but if reddit users break away and start using something different, developed by communists and friendly to non-western and anticapitalist ideas it would be easy for a person or group opposed to that to see it as a threat to be observed, controlled and infiltrated for the purposes of sabotage.
i don't. i don't see cpusa forming a vanguard party and leading the glorious american socialist peoples revolution either but that didn't stop em from getting eat up with feds.
Hey guys, so I installed Bazzite on my 2nd SSD last weekend and I've installed some games and searched through the OS to familiarize myself with it, but I still have a few questions about Bazzite and Linux in general that I'd like some help with! I've used Ubuntu and Linux mint in the past (2014ish) just to mess around with but...
For your mouse: piper is a graphical front end for a command line package called ratbag. You need .17 of ratbag to have support for the g502x and therefore have piper “see” it.
You’re gonna have to learn and understand a bunch of shit. Like actually learn and understand, not cut and paste commands. If you’re not down for that then It’s best to switch to a normal distribution or set up a separate server.
The reason I say that is: you basically have to “break” or depending on how you see it, “extend” bazzite in order to be able to do what you want.
If you’re still stuck when I get back to a computer I’ll start explaining.
if you like bazzite there's nothing wrong with sticking to it, youre gonna have to learn what youre trying to do and how to manage it pretty quick though.
bazzite doesn't have a native package for plex media server. that's why youre here. you can either fuck everything up by layering your install with rpm-ostree and using the rpm packages for plex or you can learn how to deal with containers and all their bullshit.
everyone chooses containers because they're already learning linux anyway whats one more thing.
there's two things people are suggesting in this thread at the moment when they talk about containers: Boxbuddy and Distrobox. they're actually the same thing except one (boxbuddy) is a gui wrapper for the other (distrobox) and therefore doesn't work. maybe it does work. I don't know.
the basic idea is that you'll set up a container using distrobox that has a different distributions environment running inside it, preferably one that plex supports, and install and configure plex there.
Don’t worry about picking something more complicated. Eventually that will happen and you’ll get to listen to all those drum and bass records while typing into a terminal emulator.
See if you think it’s complicated enough after setting up a container in distrobox and installing and configuring plex.
Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.
They didn’t start out that way in America, because race is a social construct used by the state to achieve its ends and when a shit ton of Irish people were coming over to the United States to escape the manmade potato famine the terms of their acceptance into American society was that they’d be doing the shittiest work.
American society dealt with this contradiction by adopting the racial pseudoscience that put Irish people below “real whites”.
Whiteness isn’t something innate that can be measured objectively (although pseudoscientific methods claim to be able to do so!), it’s a basic subjective measure of where one stands in the white supremacist power structure.
The white supremacist power structure informs all sorts of stuff like can you get a loan, can you get insurance, do you need to be more afraid of dying to the cops than usual, how loud can you play your music, pretty much every aspect of life in America.
After Catholicism became more widely accepted in the us, and a shit ton of Irish people became cops (so that the white supremacist state could surveil their communities) Irish people were eventually considered white.
Black people in America aren’t white. That might seem like an obvious thing to say, but it’s important to be clear that the process of integration that the Irish immigrant wave went through was never really offered to black Americans.
A person could argue that we are living through that process right now and I think there is a process of integration going on but it’s not making black Americans part of the broader white American group but instead giving black Americans a seat at the table of capital. That’s a significantly different deal.
Anyway, there’s this thing called racism, which is where a society uses the completely made up category of race to discriminate against groups of people to achieve its ends.
Some examples of American racism are slavery, segregation, redlining, the treatment of agricultural workers, the treatment of rail workers, etc.
What’s important is that racism is when a society (or its members) discriminate against some group. There is power in the discrimination and it’s being used against a group.
If a bank decides not to lend to white people it doesn’t hurt white people because there’s literally all the other banks that they can go to and get loans. There is discrimination being used against a group in that example, but it has no power over them because they’ll just go to all the banks that (and I’m quoting directly from a Bank of America sign here) don’t “serve coloreds”.
Okay, so why am I saying this? We’re talking about food!
There’s an old stereotype that black people eat watermelon and fried chicken. There’s a long and storied history to the food stereotypes of black Americans but I’ll spare you the tangent and just say it’s visible in all sorts of Jim crow and segregation era media and arts and crafts stuff.
If you got one of those “antique mall” type places you can probably see some of it there.
During and before Jim Crow and segregation, those stereotypes were deployed to depict black Americans as at best ignorant country bumpkins and at worst subhuman apes.
So to serve the stereotypical food of a racist caricature on a day that is intended to remember the freeing of the last slaves is at best thoughtless reproduction of a racist stereotype and at worst malicious intentional reification of a racist stereotype!
But why isn’t it racist to serve corned beef on saint patricks day? Well for one thing, saint Patrick’s day isn’t seriously celebrated as a remembrance of Irish American culture or the experience of immigrants almost anywhere in the us. It’s one of the big four, a drinking holiday with a dress code.
It’s also not perpetuating harmful stereotype to run a homemade Reuben special on saint Patrick’s day. No one bites into a Rachel and thinks “lol, those dumb micks are only good for driving spikes, drinking and swearing allegiance to Rome” or “if only they could multiply the way they multiply, maybe they wouldn’t be so poor, sad!”
Now that’s not to say it’s racist to prepare or eat fried chicken or watermelon. As a southerner I got strong feelings about both.
But pretty much it boils down to Irish people are white.
E: I fucking made a stupid ass mistake and substituted greenwood for the freeing of the last slaves when describing the context of Juneteenth. My dumbass brain was going “tell em about how greenwood and Parrish street were about giving black Americans a seat at the table of capital, instead of equality under white supremacy” over and over again the whole time I was writing this stream of consciousness ass post and when I couldn’t find a place to shoehorn it in the ol’ brain took over and did it anyway. Thanks to fryhyde for pointing it out!
Thanks for catching that. I kept trying to figure out how to frame greenwood and Parrish street as similar early attempts to bring black Americans into the fold of capital, one of which saw a violent attack by the white hegemon that was opposed to expansion of capital to black Americans but it just kept not fitting.
I guess my brain just subbed it in cause I was turning it over in my head. Edited.
Serving a dish which is part of the post slavery white supremacist negative stereotype of black Americans used to reify the Jim Crow and segregationist regimes on the day set aside to mark the freeing of the last slaves would not be more or less racist weather black Americans enjoyed eating it or not.
Are people getting upset over nothing? I don’t know. Are some people not allowed to get upset? I don’t know.
if you want to understand why the history of racism against irish americans after the wave of immigration in response to the manmade famine doesn't factor into racism irish americans experience today (none, zero, irish americans do not experience racism today), read my top level comment.
the defining factors are that irish americans were integrated into white supremacist power structures and black americans weren't, that st. patricks day isn't treated with any reverence in the united states and is instead one of the big four drinking holidays and the negative stereotypes of irish americans from the 1800s don't survive today in word or in deed.
i chose not to touch on the lingering economic impact of racism against irish americans as opposed to racism against black americans because they're in two different universes. one was largely dismantled before any of us were born and the other is still systemic and pervasive to this day.
#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.

Especially if it’s a 12”, parts to straighten that thing out are dirt cheap. Last time I did display work on the old late 2012 12”, the owner wanted a whole new upper assembly, top clamshell and all and it was ~$100.

Isn’t social media just a distillation of the interactions innate in society? If exposure to social media is damaging that’s indicative of deeply flawed and damaging society.
Even with perfect algorithms I think it’s reasonable to expect problems within society to sharpen.
I mean if there was some theoretical social media entity completely disconnected from optimization for its own benefit then the people using that system would still have been provided the tools to do all their social relations faster, more often and with more intensity.
That’s gonna, and maybe I’m giving away the game here, uh, heighten the contradictions.

The usual advice is that you can’t so you have to destroy the drives. People like that because it’s a funny answer and it makes them feel good to care more about information than a physical object.
The unusual advice is that you can’t, so just call the drives secure delete command and don’t worry about it. People don’t like that because it’s at the right hand side of the bell curve meme and they’re not monks.
The complex advice is that it really depends on what you want to erase, why, and to what extent you’re expecting someone to invest in recovering it.
The simple advice is to just pay for the drive and keep it.

They won’t pick it up from the curb so you gotta take it to the dump or landfill where you’re either charged to dump it or if it’s free your tax records are checked or if they don’t it’s only taken on certain days and hours.
That’s if you have the ability to transport it to the dump.
Can I persuade you to choose party for socialism and liberation over fwd where there is one?

So i downloaded opensuse iso on my pendrive with ventoy, but during installation I'm getting errors due to not matching 5SMD code or smh like that, is there a any way to install system to get a fixed iso?
Ventoy is great! Except that it doesn’t fucking work!
Just write your iso to a normal little usb with sd or whatever the distro recommends.
My ventoy keyring has a few extra usbs on it for this exact problem. I just boot something that will work with ventoy and use dd to make one of the extras into whatever it needs to be.
E: uhh, let me be clear, use lsblk to figure out what the name of your encrypted volume is then append it to the unlock commands. You have to specify both the physical device (/dev/sda2?) and the encrypted volume name.
