Can you elaborate? What tampering do you mean, what benefits does it provide, and why would the be lost because of this move?

It will certainly have some immediate effects, but the actual breaking down of dollar hegemony will definitely take upwards of a decade…which is still fast in terms of geopolitics time. Unfortunately for the global south, the effects that will accelerate their liberation will fall towards the later ends of this timeframe.

Show me a single dead Uighur. Show me any evidence at all.

Lemme guess, the only evidence you’ll be able to provide is either:

• Adrian Zenz’s “research” or media citing it.
• that single picture of the Kashgar inmates watching a drug awareness presentation.
• testimony from some person in Uighur World Congress (who are such a puppet of US dept of state that they cant even have solidarity with fellow Muslims in Palestine by recognizing their genocide) saying they have missing family members.

Tell me:

• what purpose does this genocide serve China?
• how does China prevent any evidence at all from getting out? Is their great firewall more effective than Israel knocking out every cell tower and cutting all ISP lines? Why can we see that genocide despite Israel spending billions to stifle info getting out? Are Uighurs that much more afraid of retribution than the Palestinians who know they will be martyred for fighting back?
• why did Muslim majority countries not unite to denounce this “genocide” like they did Gaza? Did Xi bribe them all?
• where is the satellite footage showing the infrastructure needed to carry out an industrial scale genocide? Why isn’t the US coming forth with it if they have it?
• do the Han Chinese hate Muslims? If so, why aren’t they also genociding the Hui Muslims who are much more divout?
• why does Xinjiang have more mosques than all of Europe if they hate Muslims enough to kill off its least devout followers?
• why UN inspectors came and found no evidence of genocide. How come the report has nothing more than “human rights abuses” (the most severe of which also occur daily in US prisons, who won’t allow inspections from international bodies.)

You are just another dog of the US State Department. Israel thanks you for your whataboutism to diminish the severity of their very real, US funded genocide. Muslims everywhere appreciate your valient efforts to protect a Muslim group from an imaginary genocide.

You’d fight us but not Republicans because we destroy the notion that you’re the good guys. You both want to preserve the status quo, with libs preferring marginally less grotesque methods of enforcement, and superficially opposing the fucked up methods Republicans prefer to employ. Good cop vs. bad cop routine, and you hate us because we’re pointing out that the good cop wants us imprisoned too.

Let’s be real, in actual prison, you’d be making aliances with the skinheads and guards 15 minutes in, then call on them to do your dirty work instead of doing any fighting yourself.

Same dynamic you’re employing right now actually: “Fall in line or I’ll sic the Republicans on you!” while fantasizing about the left getting sent to the camps for daring to oppose your brand of status quo preservation…just like Republicans, but less honest about your intentions.

Dipshits of both lib and fash varieties fail to recognize themselves as allies in defence of capitalism, imperialism, patriarchy, and white supremacy, yet somehow you always instinctively know who is more important to fight, the left.

The SPD voted for the concentration camps the KPD died in. Same dynamic will play out here.

You defended Biden for not closing the migrant camps, understanding that you would never spend a second inside one. We opposed them the entire time, not caring that they’d eventually be used for us.

Smart fascists understand how useful your brand of performative opposition is to legitimizing the system that keeps the treats flowing, so even if they throw did your ass in prison to appease their base (they won’t), you’ll be let go. You’re too useful an idiot for keeping the real opposition (communists) from taking power.

W & Dick Cheney

Working as Thomas Jefferson intended. The “well-meaning, but uninformed people” were those who opposed slavery and today oppose the land owning class.

That’s assuming green party voters would vote for the dems, which probably isn’t the case. They’d be more likely to just not vote.

Nix really has a kickass way of doing this. Won’t conflict anywhere and always let’s you know what is managed by Nix.

Great username

This is literally why the FBI & CIA exist.

“Mom, not fair!”

No they won’t. My favorite projects aren’t Google projects.

Would be nice if it would pull short vids from PeerTube or other fedi platforms.

Never really used tiktok, partially because I don’t get addicted to video like I do reading text. Video is too slow for my ADHD brain, and you can’t choose your content beforehand.

But I’d still pick up this platform to help it get traction.

good cop, bad cop routine

hopefully with life rafts 🙏

It saves two keystrokes

I wonder what the total amount Israel and its affiliate groups spend on PR and influence campaigns. Birthright trips alone probably cost a fortune.

They plagiarized the plagiarism machine!

Your documentation on file system choice is either anecdotal or engineering-masters-thesis, seemingly no in-between

God, I feel this so much. All the benchmarks are such ass too.

I have also struggled with picking a disk layout + FS, and landed on using a single BTRFS partition with FDE.

For now, I’m happy. Unless there’s a new FS that definitively beats BTRFS on NVMe perf and supports copy-on-write and something that makes FDE as easy as subvolumes that definitively beats BTRFS on NVMe drives, I won’t even bother looking into it again.

I’ve considered moving to a RAID setup, but it seems like more trouble than it’s worth, since I do regular /home backups & NixOS keeps my entire system config in version control.

If I ever consider a different disk setup, I’m just going to fire up a clean distro install on a spare NVMe and benchmark my most common tasks myself.

NixOS has killed my decision paralysis for choosing distros and desktop env stuff since I can just enable whatever in my config, try it out, then revert if I don’t like it enough to switch.

Only thing I can’t trivially test is disk layouts, but with disko, it might be easy enough to create a custom NixOS installer that:

• auto-installs a disk layout & your config
• reboots
• runs your benchmarks
• writes the results to disk
• reboots into the live image, repeating this for a list of disk layouts.
