  • Your little “for better” will almost certainly morph into including things you don’t like given time.

    So nothing, huh? Who is constructing a straw man here?

    It is really simple. You can’t use your rights to violate the rights of other people. That is not your right. There is plenty of room left for discussing all kind of stuff, no matter how controverse or delicate it is. But otherwise some actions performed under “free speech” could even hinder people to use their own right of free speech.




  • There seems to be a rather widespread misconception of the term “free speech”. Free speech does not mean that you are allowed to say everything.

    Say you work for a government or a company and you know something that is classified. Are you allowed to say that because “free speech”? No, of course not.

    Say there is a group of people who wants to kill a person, but they don’t know where to find that person. But you know and you tell them. Are you allowed to do that because “free speech”? No, of course not.

    Say you’re a doctor and you know something about the condition of one of your patients. Are you allowed to post about their illness on social media? No, of course not.

    Free Speech is no magic super-right that stands above all other rights. Free speech has to be limited in favor of other rights of other persons, and it is everywhere. There are difference in how much is tolerated, in the US it is pretty much, in Germany holocaust denial is a criminal offense for example.

    And that is another reason why you can’t have unmoderated social media. Some things are simply not allowed, for better.











  • Create a dir in a place you like

    mkdir (If it is in a dir where you have no write access, you need to sudo or doas)

    Unmount the automounted /dev/sda1

    umount /dev/sda1

    Then mount sda1 to the newly created dir

    mount /dev/sda1

    Then you can use genfstab to create a fstab entry. (You maybe need to sudo pacman -S arch-install-scripts)

    genfstab /

    This will write a fstab file to stdout (the terminal). Look for the line with , copy it and sudo open the /etc/fstab file with your prefered editor. Add the line at tge bottom and add the flags rw,user,noauto to the entry.

    This way you have to manually mount sda1 every time you boot with mount /dev/sda1

    You can add that to your .bashrc or equivalent. (If you don’t plan to remove the disk, you can skip the noauto and the drive will be loaded automatically, but if it is unplugged your system won’t boot normally). Maybe there is a better way, but this way works for me good enough.
