  • Voters in Arab-American strongholds likely tipped Michigan in Trump’s favor

  • It's not a fantasy. It's anger and disdain for the stupidity of voting against their own interests and bringing others down with them, not wishing harm. I've said this in other posts, but I bet there is more than meets the eye with this situation that we aren't privy to. The options were the VP of a guy that did provide some aid to Gaza and told Netanyahu he was going too far, which they feel isn't enough, or a guy that is ok with them just wiping them out. The choice is a chance for Palestine to survive vs all but certain annihilation. Does anyone think Hamas would do anything different if the roles were reversed? I don't have a solution, but Trump is going to give them more of what they have a grievance with.

  • Oh, you mentioned you don't want to keep a backup of the entire drive. That is fine, but absolutely back it up before starting the install.

    I would just boot a live Linux image and dd the entire device file onto some sort of storage. That way you can get a bit for bit copy of the drive that you can make it how it was before you touched it. When all is well, then you can ditch the backup. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep if the stuff is important. Storage devices do fail.

  • Yes.

    To do this, open a terminal, and do this:

    sudo apt search ntfs

    It will be called something like ntfs-progs or ntfs-fuse or both.

    Then:

    sudo apt install PKG1 PKG2

    Alternatively, the synaptic package tool has a nice GUI

  • You could leave the Windows installation and not dual boot. Linux can read NTFS volumes. You will probably have to install ntfsprogs or whatever it's called.

  • A swap partition is akin to the page file on Windows. The kernel will use it to move memory pages it doesn't anticipate using in the near future to it so it can use that RAM for other things. It will also use it in a pinch when there isn't enough RAM on the system. It isn't strictly necessary, but it can prevent programs from crashing at a huge performance penalty. It is necessary if you want to use sleep or hibernate or whatever it's called when it is powered off physically but resumes what you were doing instead of booting when you power it back on. That takes as much swap as you have RAM at minimum. If you want that, a good rule of thumb is 1.5 times physical RAM.

    I have servers I administer for my job that have over 100GB of RAM with very little swap, like 4GB. The applications and machine are tuned and sized so the physical RAM is at ~85% and swap is barely used. The swap is mainly for non application stuff like IDS agent, backup agent, monitoring agent, etc.

    If swap becomes a problem, you can adjust the kernel vm.swappiness parameter as needed. It might take some trial and error to get it right.

  • maybe theres something we dont know that justifies it, so its justified

    I'm not saying genocide is justified. I'm saying there is a lot we don't know about the situation. We don't have the intel, we don't know what was said in private conversations between Biden and Netanyahu. Consider the fact that Hamas was using a hospital to store weapons. That means the hospital loses its protected status and bombing it isn't a war crime according to the Geneva conventions. There is also inevitably a lot of propaganda. Maybe you are correct and Biden fully supports the genocide. I highly doubt that. It doesn't negate my point that there is a lot about the situation that we don't really know. Hamas sucks. Israel sucks. It's a dumpster fire.

  • Am I the only one who believes we shouldn’t pin foreign policy

    We don't have access to the same information they do, so we can't easily judge their decision. The POTUS gets to have conversations with world leaders. These conversations convey attitudes, view points, and information we don't have. They have the CIA, am ambassadors that are experts in the respective culture and country, and DIA that they get information from.

    For all we know, Israel was going to nuke Gaza and Biden talked them down. Also, I can all but guarantee Hamas would be doing worse if the roles were reversed:

  • I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn't sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.

    Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.

  • There are no guarantees. Life is just like a hold em game. The only thing you can do is make good decisions based on the information available. Sometimes a dumbass with 2-7 off keeps calling your bet when you hold AA and catches two pair on the turn and river. The only thing you can do is not get tilted and keep making smart plays. Variance is a massive asshole. Eventually you will come out ahead.
