It’s trivial to put up websites that can work independently from the media controlled by the 1%.

And then nobody but a few selected people ever see them because there is also the non-trivial part: actual media reach

Sure you can put the website up, but the 1% still control all the mechanisms used to bring it to the attention of most people.

and the rest are too few to matter.

Or they are the actual majority nicely brain-bleached to believe that they are alone by complicit media.

I don’t know if Fedora (or plasma) do things differently but the normal default is that you need sudo to reboot/shutdown/etc.

Then on basically all distros using systemd this behavior is modified via logind session and polkit. So the first thing to look at would be if a shutdown rule exists in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ that allow users in a certain group to shutdown/reboot in the first place.

Mine looks like this:

/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-shutdown.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if ((action.id == "shutdown" ||
action.id == "reboot") &&
subject.isInGroup("wheel"))
{
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});

So every user in the wheel group can do it without password prompt. Without this UI elements for shutdown/reboot will try assuming they have the right but simply fail.

trebuchets are catapults (but not all catapults are trebuchets)

It isn’t much by todays standards. But imagine even a just a tenth of this (accounting for lover quality back then) for the older half of that data by 2000’s storage costs.

Is it even physically possible to find liar so good to sell the extremely obvious bullshit of this administration?

They will keep burning the planet while screaming about the importance to keep refugees they caused away, until their dreams finally can come true and they can use (preferably lethal) force against those hated migrants.

Or to quote a few of Germany’s AfD morons:

“I want a civil war so badly, and millions of deaths. Women, children—I don’t care. (…) It would be so wonderful. I want to piss on corpses and dance on graves. SIEG HEIL!”

“We simply have to close the borders and then put up with the horrific images.”

“It doesn’t matter to the refugee which border—the Greek one or the German one—he dies at.”

“After all, we now have so many foreigners in the country that another Holocaust would be worth it.”

You think there is a conflict between their idiotic and destructive policies and their wish to keep migrants away because you are still sane. That’s a problem they don’t have…

• Arch

• 7.1.6

• “the past few days”

Those 3 don’t go together…

Edit: Oh, wow… Scrap that.

I completely missed that the main kernel is still stuck on 7.1.6 as even the RealTime one usually lagging behind is on 7.1.8 already.

That being said I have seen comments about fixes to AMD GPUs in 7.1.8. So how about testing it with that kernel?

What would be the point of saying that deliberately?

Propaganda may serve other purposes than politically ones.

The military industrial complex for example will be quite happy when people believe that the US really needs to increase their military spending.

Why wouldn’t you allow them some success at least? The US military might not be able wo win any actual war but against their mostly complacent “we will only protest every few months on a weekend to not inconvenience anyone”-population they might be enough.

The fat32 formated partitions are EFI System Partitions used to boot your PC. I assume that sda3 is the one Windows created, while a later Linux install created sda5 as an alternative. Yet sda5 doesn’t seem to be really used (with that cute 9MB used), so your Linux boot stuff -including a bootloader that would allow you to start Windows (or you picking directly from EFI?)- is probably all sitting alongside Windows’ EFI stuff in sda3.

In fact I wouldn’t touch anything there without some backup.

He isn’t wrong

…it would be ridiculous for an obvious Russian asset trying to destroy NATO to keep NATO support up.

I have not clue who you think or rather hallucinate to talk to… Go troll someone else.

And it’s wrong. You can downvote me every single time, yet reality will not change.

I you’ve got an old piece of hardware with nvidia hardware you know the pain. Nvidia stopped supporting 390 drivers back in 2022.

That’s literally the beginning the post setting the baseline for “old” here.

Sure it is, but I would call my hardware old already. Your “old” means reaching end of support life nearly a decade ago (390 was the last one released with support for those cards… in early 2018 - don’t know where you got 2022 from, that’s when they dropped everything pre-Maxwell).

an old piece of hardware

“old” does an incredible amount of heavy lifting here: nvidia390 is the one supporting 15 year old Fermi Cards. 😆

A mandatory [AI] tag? Sure.

A [NOT AI] tag? No, that’s the default. Why normalise AI bullshit even further?

“There’s no war in … Dubai”

No, that’s just the latest official nvidia driver still supporting those cards provided as a regular package for that distro.

Basically the moment nvidia dropped support for some cards, they split the nvidia package. They are now provinding nvidia-open (all cards still officially supported by nvidia are also supported by the new open soruce driver) and ‘nvidia-580xx’ for older ones. And although the actual driver by nvidia doesn’t change anymore the package isstill maintained in the sense that they look out for it to work with up-to-date Linux kernels.

Arch Linux at the moment provides (via the community maintained repos) nvidia drivers all the way back to ‘nvidia-340’. That’s GeForce8800 or QuadroFX age from 20 years ago.
