Who cares? Voters are mostly brain-dead and will vote for his party again anyway when they put up another candidate thas is obviously just as bad. Or they think “I want the same bullshit but more radical, corrupt and insane pls”.

It’s doable with a swap file instead. But some filesystems are more supportive than others.

For example BTRFS doesn’t support swapfiles over multiple devices (so my raid1c3 spanning 3 differently sized disks for example) and also swapfiles must be completely pre-allocated.

And no matter the filesystem you need to manually tell the kernel device and physical offset for the file via kernel parameters. Which can again be easier on some than on others (also causing the no-multiple-device filesystem problem mentioned above.

Probably not, but a big Ego going to be hurt can work as a short-term replacement

No, they struggle to cut ties because they don’t want to.

“€15m in EU funds” is meant to impress people with some big number they can’t practically imagine, but it’s a miniscule joke compared to actual EU numbers. If there was any interest, they would simply do it.

Funnily a lot of people consider “guy” as gender neutral nowadays…

Because the fictious person stealing your laptop and drilling through your disk to erase it identifies as male. I have a whole backstory worked out if you are interested…

Or because it doesn’t matter at all and two letters were simply the shortest.

Yes, I am in fact okay with refering to every teacher as he, because that’s what grammar in my native language demands (“Lehrer, der - masc.”). I will also happily refer to every guard as she, because –again– grammar ("Wache, die - fem.).

Genus != sexus != gender… One is grammar, one is biology, one is identity. Overlaps are purely coincidental. I don’t understand why especially English speakers can’t get the concept. I mean sure, they dumbed down their grammar so much that they lost the destinction, but even unrelated to language they seem to develop an insane fetish for conflating sexus and gender somehow. For example if you need to add “biological” before “gender” for your expression to make sense, that should be a hint that you are actually talking bout different things.

Fun fact: When English tried to move away from gender specific words and towards generic ones (all being actors, instead of speaking about actors and actresses), other languages did the exact opposite. Because when you language’s grammar has all nouns (arbitrarily) gendered, actresses and actors is a step forward from the generic actor (which often is male my grammatical definition). At least that was the theory in both cases. Two languages, two exactly opposite reactions to same fact. Why doesn’t it make any sense? Because it’s a fucking narrative to keep some culture war bullshit going. Language isn’t sexist. The Sexism filtering your words before they reach your brain is.

Actually AI slop, but it works with the most popular inspiration

Wait? We are supposed to turn around instead of happily marching on towards fascism ever faster? Why did nobody tell us? ^/s

Nothing will prevent him from wiping your drive if he has physical access to your device.

Sure you can use stuff like Secure Boot with your own custom keys to lock it. Then noone can indeed just boot it.

Doesn’t stop that person from removing your drive and plugging it into another pc. Or from just smashing your disk to pieces.

The same goes for stuff like a bios password. With physical access you can wipe that, too. It’s just a bit more work (or requires additional tools) than just an USB stick.

In short: Yes, you can stop someone from just booting an USB stick and wipe you drive. But it doesn’t matter if he has other ways to do the same. Protection only works as a whole concept, Software won’t help you when physical security allows the device to be stolen. And seriously? Who cares if their stolen laptop is wiped, smashed or drowning on the bottom of the ocean. It’s gone anyway.

The actual protection for data is a) backups so you don’t lose them and b) encryption so nobody can read them.

And this is why that fucking shrill propagandist screaming is actually hurting their goals.

It’s been two years now and we are still locked in a discussion between lying idiots (German weapons are used to commit a genocide!) and corrupt idiots (We deliver exactly nothing that can be used against Palestinians!).

It’s still a fucking manufactured team sport event instead of an actual nuanced discussion. And no matter if you pick the propagandist liars, because they are after all on the Palestinian side, or the corrupt idiots, because facts actually mean something, it is just a show to keep you occupied and not rationally argue for an option c.

If we want IT independence

“We” as in Europeans? Or “we” as in the corrupt politicians with actual power? Not the same group of people, definitely not the same agenda.

I hope this is a wake up call for someone

Sure… a call for our corrupt politicians to increase their prices because it again became a bit harder to sell us out without affecting public opinion. Not that they actually care about the latter, but getting reelected means getting paid by their actual employers longer.

First, why are you so focused on being angry at the people

to quote you:

Pathetic

You insult my intelligence

this shitty logic

you insult this community

laughable

Stop projecting your insanity on others. Just because you start frothing at the mouth when people say things you don’t like, others are not “angry” just because they tell you were to shove your bullshit.

And most importantly for you (although i’m absolutely sure your delusion will reject that sentiment, too): people are not disagreeing with your general sentiment just because they correct your desinformation. But they will absolutely then dismiss you as an idiot not worth discussing with, when you instantly start spouting insults.

That being said… /ignore

whether the weapons are “defensive” or not is a laughable distraction

Then why do stupid propagandists and their brain-dead victims need to lie contantly about those imaginary weapons used on Palestinians?

The thing is I actually agree with you that Israel needs to get every single bit of support cut, followed by heavy sanctions… for a start, that is.

But that doesn’t change the fact that idiots screaming lies about Germany’s active support of a genocide and all their delivered weapons used to kill Palestinians are indeed idiots that undermine their cause by being propaganda victims you can easily debunk and then ignore.

Trying to paint “Moderate parties have moved to the right, thus disappointing voters so much with their right-wing politics, that those voters now feel the need to vote far-right instead” as some kind of sane decision will never be not comically stupid.

while directly supporting the ongoing Palestinian Genocide

Thank you for bringing up a perfect example for insane desinformation: No, anti-air corvettes are not used to attack land-based targets but to defend against actual real attacks. No, submarines and torpedos are not air-dropped onto Palestinian civilians but against enemy navies (the famous Palestinian one included 😂). No, armored vests are not weapons used to club people to death.
How dows it feel to be an totally lost propaganda victim complaining about propaganda?

Also the far right is clearly in cahoots with russia

…and China… and the US… and every single one paying. Fascism is a way to continue the capitalist transfer of all money to the top while keeping the population diverted by imaginary enemies. So naturally fascists are deeply corrupt and willing to work for exactly everyone willing to pay.

For polar orbits the location of the launch site doesn’t matter

It does. The rotation perpendicular to your orbit is a problem. For that reason they go further north (or theoretically south) for polar orbits.

That’s not how you use these terms in English usually:

A majority is more than half of a total, while a super majority is the amount of votes needed above a simply majority (usually things like 2/3 to do constitutional changes…).
