Unfortunately, it just doesn't matter. The GOP playbook has been: accuse the other side of doing the bad thing, and then do the bad thing, so that when you get accused it sounds like more of the same.

It doesn't matter if we have 1000 independently verified videos of Elon himself paying vote counters to fake results while holding the newspaper of that day up next to his birth certificate. People against trump will say "yeah, we know", and people for Trump will say, "he won, get over it".

It's the same reason the courts found Trump guilty of falsifying records, and then did nothing: that's not how this situation resolves itself.

It is very rare for the president to send the National Guard into a state without the governor's cooperation. The last time was when LBJ used it to protect pro civil rights protestors in Alabama.

Unfortunately, Trump's goal in LA is not so well-intentioned, it's to establish authority so ICE can continue disappearing citizens without due process. It is, for all intents and purposes of the word, an invasion. Thing is, if Newsom attempts to intervene, Trump would loooove to arrest him for treason. And if they do nothing, and protestors step aside, ICE will just continue disappearing people, moving state to state, pushing and pushing, further and further, hoping that someone gives him an excuse to escalate.

I feel like we're all saying the same thing: if you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable. It's not about what's right or wrong, or what the public should or should not do; it's about which of those two options Trump himself has decided we're doing. And he has chosen....poorly.

as evidenced by his nazi salute earlier this year.

I would say the more compelling evidence is the fact that his entire family wealth is a direct result of Apartheid, and now that it has earned him literal richest man in the world status, he uses that status to go out in public and, without a hint of irony, say that white people in South Africa are victims of racism.

Cooperating with the law is often percieved as an act of defiance with this administration, though.

Side note: If part of your prep for an OS wipe involves making copies of critical information, I recommend re-evaluating your backup strategy. You should be able to lose any device at any time without warning, and not lose any data.

Every state should be involved in these lawsuits, especially the ones who pretend the civil war was about states rights.

iirc it was using Method 3 on this guide (but my efi path looks different).

Edit: oh, I also definitely used bcdedit /copy to clone the windows entry, and then edited the clone.

Steve Bannon, the one who has openly stated the strat is to "flood the zone," thereby rendering media coverage useless.

But of course this headline is important and we should all pay attention to it.

Unfortunately, the windows bootloader issues are also ingrained in UEFI for many motherboards. Every few days I start my PC up and it has decided my grub entry is garbage and does me the favor of removing it and defaulting back to the windows bootloader.

I've worked around this by adding a bootcfg entry to the windows bootloader that points at grub. Now any time this happens, I pick the grub entry from the windows bootloader, my PC reboots, and now it'll keep defaulting to grub again until the next time it decides to wipe it.

Well...there is one thing they have in common.

I'm responding to the literal words you said that were inaccurate. Cheers.

It is not standard workflow in git to change the commit history for a branch on the remote. You have to use --force, and the next time someone pulls they also have to --force their any local tracking branch to follow the remote. Every git guide on the internet warns against pushing a rebase for this reason.

Locally you can do whatever. I'm not familiar with Mercurial, but I assume it must work the same as git: I can do whatever I want locally, and only what I push matters. And when I'm doing stupid stuff locally as I organize my changes, rebase is handy.

Historically, that loop eventually pushes all forms of inequality to a local maxima, and then a war breaks out and inequality drops.

We could do it without the war part, but we won't. Maybe one day...

It's not pseudo-slavery, it's actual 100% legal slavery according to the words of the 13th Amendment of the US constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States

To be clear, I'm not calling you brain dead, I'm calling denouncing protesting as a waste of effort brain dead. If you disagree...ya know, have the country you wanted.

Afaik this is basically what the NSA's Prism is.

I know that you know that I'm right, and neither of us actually expect the slacktivist circle jerk to stop. Just please don't ever use that, "let me know when holding up signs works" line again, that shit is brain dead and is how we got here to begin with.

Not. Their. Job.

Your. Job.

Their job is to work within the set of laws we have set up for them. Their job is not to protest, rebel, engage in civil disobedience, etc.; that's our job. I'm tired of this sentiment that, by being an elected public official in a democratic system, we should also expect them to be martyrs for that system. That is a form of slacktivism. Cut it out. Go protest.
