  • Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA?

    Jump

  • Yeah, from the world's perspective, this is a problem that solves itself in a few years. Plus, the idea of 'doing something' about a country is not a very common action. The most common action is to ignore the BS best you can, focus on building up allies, and focus on building up your own country.

  • Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?

  • So a complicated set of terminal commands and alternatives you need to have memorized ahead of time. That’s definitely the linux solution. You can do it, but no average user would ever be able to when they need it.

    As a point of contrast. In Linux Mint you press the eject button. That's it.

    The other guy was getting into more detail for people who want it.

  • Whelp, time to shut down the whole computer! (Or just yank it and hope you didn't do anything bad, lol)

  • Linux Mint has an eject button that allows any cached writes* to finish, prevents new ones from starting, and un-mounts it. It's actually important to use the eject button as flash drives are slow, and the write cache can obscure the fact that a file isn't done writing yet.

    *Copying a file will add it into the write cache while it writes out to the disk. As soon as it is in the cache, you can use the file as if it was already done copying, including making changes.

  • Side rant:

    To make it worse, SMS is incredibly insecure. Nothing should send you codes via SMS, and if you have the option to use an authenticator app, do that. It's atrocious so many banks only have SMS as an option.

    The really dumb part is, the SMS codes are literally the same authenticator algorithm, but running on their servers and sent to you via an insecure medium.

  • Canada could assemble Swedish Gripen jets for Ukraine’s Air Force

  • “We have no indication that this is possible,” Belgian Chief of Defence Gen. Frederik Vansina

    “It is not possible to ‘remotely control’ or ‘block’ the F-35A fighter jets, for example by external intervention in the electronics,” according to a machine translation of a press release dated March 7 from the Swiss Department of Federal Defense. “Switzerland does not need consent if it wants to use its weapons systems or guided missiles for its own defense. It can do this autonomously, independently, and at any time.”

  • F-35s are amazing planes. What are you talking about?

    What other plane is VTOL, stealth, and multi-role? The VTOL part is particularly good for England as it turns their assault carriers from something that can only hold helicopters and Harriers (a retired aircraft), into something that holds one of the best aircraft in the world.

    I'm running Signal right now on Linux Mint.

  • Can you run Battlefield 6?

    This isn't even a Windows or Linux thing: Why the hell do you want Saudi Arabia and Jared Kusher* to have kernel-level access to your machine? Why, why is that worth it for just a game?

  • Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

  • I 100% get what you are saying. But I'm also 100% fine with voting with my wallet by not supporting game developers that demand kernel-level access to my machine.

    Think about the EA stuff. You install one of their games, and now Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner* have kernel-level access to your machine. Why, why the hell is that worth it for just a game?

  • Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?

    This is what I did. Made the installer mostly a bunch of hitting 'next'.

    Plus, I don't trust Windows to not fuck up my Linux drive, so when I used to dual boot, I would only have one or the other in the computer. Though, haven't booted into the Windows drive for months now.

  • An ethics question

  • She must not address you. Basically act as if the other person does not exist.

    The MIL has already offered to not engage in politics, take her up on the offer. Batting away the olive branch just comes off as childish.

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • You don't have to agree with your family's politics. It's basically guaranteed a huge chunk will disagree with you on something. Just don't talk about politics with them since it upsets you so much.

    It's perfectly reasonable to steer the conversation away from politics if it comes up, and if they insist, particularly at your house, be a bit more direct about not having political discussions over the dinner table.
