Apple by this time next year: We need to epoxy the entire airspace inside the new iphone because… waterproofing? Sure waterproofing I promise that’s why we did that.

On instances that do not use downvotes they aren’t counted when viewed from that instance.

I was still testing positive at day 14 so if you ask me even that is on the risky side

The typical distro’s installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don’t worry about that. I’m doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

Yes, easily done.
Open KDE partition manager
Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
Once it’s transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check “automatically mount on boot”

You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!

Liberalism is capitalist realism, and anti-communist. It’s anti-democracy as well, so long as you define democracy as doing what the people want (That’s clearly an impossible way to ride a bike!). Capitalism/liberalism calls itself democracy, but is really just profit seeking. Sometimes the highest expected profits come from doing what people want, just as often it comes from creating toll booths between people and readily available resources so you can extract a profit (enclosure).

I know I wouldn’t trust my government or politicians to do anything but enrich themselves at my expense, but I don’t have to; my rights are guaranteed by our constitution.

@OP RE: Idealism Do you really think a piece of paper protects you or anyone? Sure there’s nominally some “belief in the rule of law” but all it takes is some “creative” interpretation of a document which was written by slave owners who left several intentional loopholes to get around that. The only thing materially restraining the state/capitalism from further trampling your so called rights is fear of reprisal by you. The constitution is one concession by the state, a pinky promise to generally not do these particular things insofar as you promise to be a good worker and not stir the pot too much. Did the constitution give women the right to vote? No. Did the constitution end slavery, and give reparations to those slaves? Nope. Will the constitution step in to stop the profiteering and uniquely evil US healthcare system that has killed and disabled members of my own family? Never.
So what does the constitution “do” in reality? Because from my perspective it might as well be joseph smith’s golden tablets, which republicans occasionally use to scold democrats for not being American ™ enough.

I had a history prof go on a class long tangent about how communists were evil because Marx said religion is the opiate of the masses. I, being a cringe atheist at the time thought “damn that’s cool af, this Marx guy is spitting” and I think that was the general consensus of the class.

Geography professor however started day one with a lecture on why Mercator, and most other map projections are racist, and told us that he wasn’t listening to any complaints about saying that from anyone white.

Had a dream last night that I was introducing a friend with leftist inclinations to hexbear, and the whole front page was posts about cum.

I’m mid-late 20s and after a hangover for 3-4 days I have this terrible taste in my mouth. It isn’t like alcohol it’s more like how gasoline smells, or freshly paved roads. Anyone know what that’s about?

VRchat and gorilla tag are by far the most fun things on VR and are pretty accessible when it comes to processing power actually.

I find that in VRchat the mic anxiety goes away when you’re talking to a 3d model of Dr. Eggman or a Skibidi toilet. Something about the presence I dunno.

I found the sub because people from there would always come back me up against shitlibs on Reddit. I was a bit of a shitlib at the time myself but by God I was woke.

I’ve listened to Christmn and his side projects more than I have the parent podcast.

I hope this sentiment never stops someone from uploading a textbook without OCR. Once it’s scanned it can always be OCRed at a later time.

That would be really cool, but it seems like our sensory organs are all bunched up around our brain and probably for a good reason. Maybe they would have some secondary processing on their limbs like squids have in their tentacles?

I bet they’re just funny little guys. Silly little guys. Funny silly little guys. With silly funny hats.

They’re all just like Neelix vibin’ you know?

Prefacing this with the fact that I’m a

But, I’ve never met a thumb-ass powertripping park ranger. They put on workshops for people to learn about bugs and stuff too which is very cool.

Does lemmygrad have a bestof subcommunity?

Clearly I’m not communicating this very well, and I only meant it as an off hand comment not a world changing statement. No, I wasn’t concerned about efficiency, just pointing out that we know how to do voting, but bourgeois democracy chooses not to.

My point is that we know what introduces sample bias, that’s it. it’s already gamed to the point that it’s hardly worth talking about.

If you actually wanted to do democracy (and I think one day we will want to do democracy for many if not most things, once the average person is not quite so steeped in false consciousness) you would treat it the same way you would treat a survey. I don’t think each and every person voting actually matters, just like you don’t have to ask every soul in America to find out, say, America’s favorite pie. If only 1% were sampled to vote and it was done so in a reasonably unbiased way, your results would be 99.999% in line with the average American’s opinion/wants.

Takeaway: We’ve been doing studies and combating sample bias for hundreds of years, including before “democracy” began in the US. We know how to do it, it’s genuinely never been tried.
