I blame Discovery and Picard. I tried watching Discovery the other day. I desperately tried, you guys. I quit - and I won't be watching Picard. I reject the callous and hamfisted writing, so I've personally rejected it as cannon at this point.
Star Trek Shorts was kind of okay, and Brave New World was definitely a step in the right direction. I'll watch that soon because I'm rewatching most of the shows in chronological order (based on this IMDB list). Also, Prodigy is actually pretty great. I'm glad it didn't get cancelled. It's a kids show, but the Prodigy writers show they actually care.
But my god. The writers for Discovery and Picard really screwed the pooch. I won't even blame direction or acting, like at all. What I blame is the paint by numbers forced progressivism, which pisses me off, because it shouldn't feel forced. It's Star Trek FFS. It used to be the platform for progressive subjects.
Star Trek has been a playground for masters of the powerplay, for subtext, allusion and theme. It was a progressive platform already, but did so through writing methods which has been employed by writers for thousands of years to convey stories and characters, tried and true methods that yield good quality story telling. All of that went out the window with Discovery and Picard. The writing in those shows is the storytelling equivalent of smashing the square through the circle shape.
When it comes to the Orville? It shows that McFarlane really has a love for Star Trek and that he could have helped to modernize it, in a much better way than what the production team did with Discovery and Picard. But much like with the Flintstone's reboot, he got shafted. But at least he got bawled out by Tucker in Enterprise while playing the role of an enson. So he's apart of cannon in some way?
Firstly, check the logs directly to get a more concise error that we can analyse. journalctl is the standard systemd logging client you can use in the terminal. By specifying the unit (units can be socket files, timers, services) you can get logs specifically for said unit.
journalctl -u udisks2.service
You can also specify binary, if said binary logs to journalctl, like so (if the binary path exists):
journalctl /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd
You can also check kernel messages (dmesg) by using the -k flag, like so:
journalctl -k
You can utelize flags such as -e to scroll to the end of a journal, -f to follow a journal in realtime and utelize the -p flag to set priorities like error, crit, warning (-o error) and others to filter away common journal entries so you don't have to scroll through every line in the log.
Secondly, and this is gonna sound weird, but reboot into windows twice. The first time you boot windows run diskchk on the partition(s) in terminal/powershell/command as administrator. If it tells you it needs to do an offline scan, reboot and you'll see an offline diskchk screen on boot before login. If not, reboot again into windows anyways, and then reboot into Linux.
The reason is that NTFS has a weird failsafe flag that NTFS on Linux considers a no-go, and it's usually set if the system crashes more than twice, but not always. If Linux NTFS drivers see the flag, it won't mount as a precaution. The only way to reset the flag is to reboot in windows twice. Not once, not three times, but twice.
This might be outdated info, but that was the fact some years ago. There might be a way to fix it with modern day Linux, but I don't know, especially when I have no direct and informative errors to go by.
Pretty much. Signals servers just initiate connection between clients, who in turn negotiate parameters with each other so that messages can be encrypted and sent privately between the clients. The messages never has to touch Signals servers, unless you've turned on certain features. It's what you could call a "peer-to-peer chat".
It's apps for Android and iOS are available on GitHub, as well as libraries dedicated to the Signal protocol that you can use and implement in your own projects.
So it's transparent, private and secure. Pretty boss. Waiting for someone to correct me on this one ^^;
Generally speaking, and I'm not talking about your Raspberry Pi's, but even there we find some limitations for getting a system up and booting - and it's not for lack of transistors.
But say if you take a consumer facing ARM device, almost always the bootloader is locked and apart of some read only ROM - that if you touch it without permission voids your warranty.
Compare that with an x86 system, whereby the boot loader is installed on an independent partition and has to be "declared" to the firmware, which means you can have several systems on the same machine.
Note how I'm talking about consumer devices and not servers for data centres or embedded systems.
I kind of agree, in that ARM is even more locked down than x86, but if I could get an ARM with UEFI and all computational power is available to the Linux kernel, then I wouldn't mind trying one out for a while.
But yes, I can't wait for RISC-V systems to become mainstream for consumers.
Aside from South Africa, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Jordan, Bahrain, and Turkey, have recalled their ambassadors from Israel in the past few weeks. Bolivia has severed its diplomatic relations with Israel completely in the wake of the Israeli war on Gaza.
Lavar Burton is a goddamn treasure of a man. When you yanks rip down another one of those confederate statues, do me a solid and put up one of Lavar Burton in its place.
It's interesting to see US political mechanics as a foreigner.
Isn't gerrymandering just deciding who "the majority" is? Can't constitutional amendments be revoked? A "ballot initiative" was news to me, and seems a bit more like a form of direct democracy. Am I misunderstanding that?
By that logic I demand stickers of obesity, respiratory issues and heart issues being portrayed when I search "American". Preferably where each character has a fat hamburger shoved in their face.
There's no photo evidence of it I can find, and I've been given a good reason to search for "start trek data nipples". You all saw it. This was justified.
But seeing as some people are super insistent, I'll have to conclude that it's A CONSPIRACY!!!
Birds aren't real, the earth is hollow and Data has no nipples!
Because, and this has been debated up, down, all around, Batman & Robin can arguably be seen as "entertaining", if only for the cheese factor alone. I mean I die every time the Batcard scene comes up. I fold into a ball and my soul cries. But that in of itself is an experience people might be seeking out from a film.
And then we have to remind ourselves of propaganda films, vanity projects, the various moving parts of the horror movie genre and holy crap let's not forget Uwe Boll. The Resident Evil films? Mindrot. Pure and simple. Bad in so many ways it's haunting.
"The Room" is a masterpiece in comparison, objectively speaking.
