  • That all those products are produced by the same company is the biggest joke.

    And there is even more: the company also produced a European "3 Musketiers" bar (yes, written like this) that again was something different and called Marathon on the US (both discontinued).

  • It's not just the packaging but the bar itself that is completely different.

    The US Milky Way would be the equivalent to your Mars bar and the 3 Musketeers is very close to what you know as Milky Way.

  • If you need to order Amazon three times to hold a proper vote on unionizing the actual word is not "ordering" but "asking nicely"...

  • Not that I [...] want to minimize the experience.

    But isn’t that something that happens at pretty much all companies

    Pick one...

  • Sure... let's keep hallucinating how a Trump win is some isolated result and how other countries will cope with it.

    They won't. They will follow the same route.

    The exact same propaganda that fried US citizen's brains is working everywhere and it's completely irrelevant if the current German government is united for another year or disbands in 5 minutes. The next election will see the same kind of right-wing lying populist morons, just in a slightly different flavor, win in Germany (it's no coincidence they spend the last years in communication with MAGA idiots for pointers how to campaign).

  • Yeah... encouraging people to vote side by side with the morons pretending the moon landing didn't happen.

  • It's been years since I took a look at this but I vaguely remember a handy kioskrc config file under xfce4...

    found it...

  • That sounds like the non-techies would be able to fix it themselves on Windows without you being around, which in my experince isn't the case.

    It might be different for you with a lot of tech-affine people in your family. But for those of us being forced to be the tech support anyway, it can really make a difference if you have to fix a Linux issue once in a while or have to reinstall Windows for the 5th time this year...

  • They don't hate them. They just want to cut all support for citizens to have more money available to finance more tax cuts for rich people.

    But to do this you need to somehow convince the masses that money spend on them is a bad thing. For decades trickle-down fairy tales of how spending money on the already rich ones will help the economy and then be beneficial for all worked. But not anymore. So the next phase in desinforming gullible voters is much more dystopian and involves straight out brain-washing to decouple them from reality and make them believe that people actually helping them are evil and need to be fought.

  • With nuclear, you’ve got a raging anti-nuclear crowd.

    No. With nuclear you have very real unmitigatable risks and very real insanely high costs. Which also don't solve anything as nuclear production isn't fitting demand fluctuations either, so you still need mass storage (or waste overproduction 90% of the time, combined with already insane costs).

    The raging crowd is the pro-nuclear cult on social media that ignores reality and sputters sci-fi fairy tales all day long in the name of their savior.

  • You could...

    But then one is an open system where you can disable the UI put on top and have a working linux system, while the other is a closed blob destroying compatibility and trying hard to lock you out from accessing the underlying linux system.

  • ARM is shit at hardware discovery in general. So no, chromebooks don't need a special distro. They however need a kernel adapted to the specific hardware, often down to the model (that's also the reason Android updates take so long on phones and there is very time limited support... there's always someone needed to adapt new updates to the specific hardware for each device, so they don't bother for anything but their latest products).

  • So what humans have done for millenia in the form of furs, leather and bone?

  • Bigotry is illogical

    Yet this isn't even bigotry. It's straight out xenophobia and hatred. The sanctimonious bullshit is just a fig leaf...

  • Decryption isn't a problem if you use the systemd hooks when creating your initrams. They try to decrypt every given luks volume with the first key provided and only ask for additional keys if that fails.

    I have 3 disks in a btrfs raid setup, 4 partitions (1 for the raid setup on each, plus a swap partition on the biggest disk), all encrypted with the same password.

    No script needed, just add rd.luks.name=<UUID1>=cryptroot1 rd.luks.name=<UUID2>=cryptroot2 rd.luks.name=<UUID3>=cryptroot3 rd.luks.name=<UUID4>=cryptswap to your kernel parameters and unlock all 4 with one password at boot.
