  • We have guns in Canada. I went hunting with my dad, there is a certain distance from the city you need to be for firing a gun. Those in more remote areas of Canada have guns for all the things you stated. My neighbour in our city, has about 8 guns; hand guns, long guns. People think Canada doesn't have guns because we don't flaunt them as our lifestyle.

  • While monolithic may not be the keep is simple rule aimed for in originally in Unix/Linux, I wonder if it even matters....is there something really gained by init systems that make a difference for the average Linux user?

  • As comments below you will need to check /etc/fstab and then run a mkgrub or mkgrub2 command with options like -o (you will have lookup the full string) and it will rewrite the info that the system is told at boot about drive partitions

  • Install Windows, but leave drive open or a partial space on windows drive. When you install Linux, don't let it install the EFI boot into the Windows EFI boot partition. Instead have the partition manager build a new boot partition+root home etc. Grub will install on its own partition, OS prober should find the Windows drive too, and it will add a chainloader entry to grub. Set your machine to always boot from Linux grub, if you want windows you select it in grub and it hands boot over to windows boot. This way they are isolated and Windows never knows that Linux grub exists and will leave it alone.

  • We also have a lack of critical thinkers in Canada.

    A section of my wife's friends (ex friends?) Are Trump supporters.

    A branch of her family live and breathe Facebook nonsense without questioning validity.

    A coworker sends me conspiracy theory videos, even though he works as a highly skilled engineer. Being smart and critical dissemination of information are different thought processes apparently.

  • Haha, I had a similar situation. Our chat app had a message from our IT about installing an app that tracks location and state of computer, but without the normal corporate memo first. Just a "hey please install from this link".

    So I said " How do I know this is not a phishing scam".

    The reply was "it's real, its's me ITguyname".

    Me: "How do I know its the real ITGuyname and not an imposter."

    Itguyname: "Because I'm standing up"

    So I knew it was our IT guy by that joke, but there could still be a chance it wasn't. How is it a random dude is more suspicious of supposed chat connections that the US government.
