The tariffs will tank consumption and possibly reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
Blue states can raise taxes since the fed government will lower taxes and provide a kickass quality of life without funding the red states.
Since they love the 10th amendment, blue states can go hog wild with running things in a sane manner.
Hell, maybe the US will split into 3: Pacifica on the West Coast, magastan, and Atlantica (East Coast)
You can’t just gloss over tens of thousands of deaths and say got for more of it and harass grieving families for not going with your plan.
Why even bring up Hamas as an excuse, except to avoid addressing Biden’s role in mass starvation of civilians?
I’m not the one making excuses. I voted for Harris. Remember the travel bans early in Trump’s first presidency targeting Muslims? Remember his deportation rhetoric. I wouldn’t be surprised to find some folks deported to Gaza. I don’t wish this on them, but that is a possibility.
The US isn’t attacking Gaza, Israel is. What is Biden’s role exactly? Providing over 1 billion in aid to Gaza?
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.
In some states election day is a state holiday so as many people as possible can vote. My state is one of those states.
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.

Hopefully Chidi and Eleanor will save us all soon.
Another straight white dude here. I also voted Harris. I stumbled upon this:

Combine that gross ignorance and Palestine stupidity and here we are. Trump literally told Israel to end it. We know what that means.
As an American, I agree.
USian Harris voter here. I am disappointed in you all. Everyone knows that’s worse.
I suspect the down votes think I voted fascist. I voted Harris.
so gas prices would go down.
Which is stupid, because economists pretty much agree that his tariffs will cause massive inflation.
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.
What are you trying to accomplish by posting this stuff? What are you actually accomplishing by posting this stuff?

Doing anything else other than voting for Harris in this regard is firmly in the stupid category. Trump would be worse in this regard. You are not only hurting yourself but others as well.
What’s even stupider is Trump would more than likely be worse in this regard.
Well, to all the folks arguing with me on how voting for Harris was bad because of Gaza: CONGRATULATIONS! You REALLY made a point there. The Palestinians had a chance under Harris. Instead of voting for a chance for the Palestinians, you did nothing or voted for genocide. You did it from the other side of the world, where you won’t have to suffer the consequences.
