What are you talking about? The police takes their own neo-nazis and their like-minded friends very serious and supports them whereever possible.

That’s the incredible thing when you build up a base of nearly brain-deads swimming in cognitive dissonance: You can say like: “He is very bad, because <random summary of morally wrong things you actually do>”, and your idiot followers will just stop at “he’s bad!” while only those with a working brain will hear the rest. And some of them might believe the lie and come to the conclusion that everyone is just as bad.

That’s the reason both sides bullshit is a working right-wing tactic. For everyone else this is an argument to give up voting while their own followers are filtering out every fact that does not fit their chosen view. “They are just as bad as we are!” only registers to their own voters as “They are bad!”. Because the “We are good” part is already a given in their damaged minds and so the other contradicting half of the statement just disappears.

Actual headline: “Corrupt conservatives cement fossil fuel dependency for their donors under a pretense”

They pretend that those gas power stations are needed, then sabotage renewable upbuild and grid improvements while blocking storage to create that scenario in the first place.
Also they will justify the price increases (flowing right into the pcoket of fossil fuel producers) somehow as costs caused by renewables…

Yes, not the desktop environment but the distro. KDE the desktop environment does not ship any kernel or modules at all because it’s not a distro. That should be obvious.

The “casual” gaming audience can follow intricate guides just to install minor mods, tune their devices for a few extra fps and so on, yet they magically can’t put a usb stick in their pc and follow a mostly automated installer.

I didn’t even know that KDE shipped without enabled NTSYNC still 1½ years after it got released in 6.14…

No, I’m not confusing things but directly referencing Wikipedia (and as explicitly mentioned British English):

( ) (round) brackets
[ ] square brackets
{ } curly brackets
<> angle brackets

American English however calls the same:

( ) parentheses
[ ] (square) brackets
{ } (curly) braces
<> angle brackets or chevrons

Yes, that means British an American people are meaning different things when talking about brackets (round vs. square as the default).

So I will repeat myself:

English (at least British English) does in fact the same thing.

round, square, curly and angle brackets…

So given that big chunks of the world learn British English it is probably not just a “German thing” as OP suggested.

Our leadership is corrupt and bought off and the majority of voters too brain damaged by foreign sponsored brain-rot to do anything against it, so nothing will happen. Also “bullying” isn’t exatly mthe correct term for fucking over people you own…

That’s the way all global superpowers and empires in history went.

We need to keep voting for progress, continuously, for the next few decades.

How are you voting for progress when you usually only are given the choice between fast or slow regression… standstill on an exceptionally good day at best.

Because “Germany bad” is what the vast majority of Europeans thrive on.

I actually find it interesting to see that they seem to have skipped the whole “everyone needs an AI subscription for their everyday tasks”-phase and went straight for “technology isn’t for the serfs” angle.

Guess that happens when a case of collective insanity proves that you don’t need any working business model to get rich, just enough idiots to pump an endless bubble.

Defining being the piggy bank and universal scape goat as “power” is really funny.

Difficult as in unlikely that the exploit works or difficult to write an exploit?

Difficult as in it’s a race condition that can theoretically be exploited when you get the timing right. But timing, if it’s not on a well-known isolated system right before you in some lab, depends on a million details, some –once we are talking about real-life examples– outside your control.

If Wikipedia is to be believed English (at least British English) does in fact the same thing. Although it’s “curly” instead of “curved” brackets.

Which is what Plakar suggests, too, as their cli tool reads the PLAKAR_PASSPHRASE environmental variable.

I guess there is no BoneAppleTea equivalent on lemmy…

I had to google what plakar even is, but they seem to think that’s the standard solution as you can give the plaintext passphrase as a variable at startup. Waht’s speaking against a passphrase as plaintext, set to be readable by root only?

How much pain you should expect is easily answered: Expect several things to break and having to do a full reinstall. So back up everything first.

It will probably not happen, but you should always expect the worst (out of the realistic at least…) outcome and be prepared.

That has nothing to do with being a defeatists. They will cheat as hard as they can and won’t admit defeat when they lose anyway.

He is not saying that all is lost and you shouldn’t do anything. Just that if you don’t plan for that eventuality you are an idiot and shouldn’t dare to act surprised.
