my emotions in this chain have been so far:
I think I’ll settle on the idea that whatever Biden did, it was at least better than what Trump would’ve. Then again it’s this exact same blind logic that Trump supporters say about Biden.
I think the answers given here don’t quite fit the question.
Android and Windows have dedicated recovery partitions sectioned off on the disk that the OS never boots to and does not interact with during normal system operation.
If something goes wrong with the OS, then a signal is sent to the BIOS or other non-OS system to “hey, recover from this partition”.
Btrfs, NixOS, Guix, and other immutable (file-)systems, implement this via having a file system hierarchy protected by various permissions and softlinks to create a checkpoint of sorts, which is managed by a dedicated service that runs with the OS during normal system operation.
The drawback of these systems is that if something does go wrong with the OS, it cannot fallback to the BIOS to save it. The OS has to somehow signal to itself that it needs to restore from an earlier checkpoint.
and they’ve been apologising for it ever sin-
-oh no wait, they haven’t.

You are legally obligated to high five me. Comply. Comply. Comply, or I get your boss.
You had me until that last part
“its probably the front end node”
me: “it’s all in the same fridge, right? and surely they must know that their lunch options are shite, so it’d be reasonable to assume they’d stretch breakfast a few extra timezones…”
Whilst I agree that the Great Man theory is just propaganda, that wiki page is extremely light on any actual examples, making it seem like the Stalin quote is the end-all on the topic.
I think religion might have something to do with it, but I think its mostly parents (who were often too young to parent compared to now) taking out their frustrations on their kids because they had no other socially-acceptable recreational outlet to just hang loose after work other than drinking and TV.
Photons would still exist, they’d just be frozen in a cloud. You could “see” things by moving towards photon sources, but you’d leave a black fog behind you, and would never be able to see the samething twice.
“yoo shaw boss? maybe I can jus wackem with my-”
“No. Just scare them, and don’t buy any Halloween masks. Make a custom one. I know you went to art school. I really want to see some effort here.”
I love my dad, but he has an old fashioned definition of male affection and he’s at unease when a topic of conversation is brought up that he’s not an authority in.
I wish I’d learned that yes, hugging people you know is fine, and that there’s nothing wrong in being ignorant in a topic if you’re willing to listen and learn from others.
I hear what you’re saying but I try my best to divorce a piece of art from its art fans and curators, because ultimately I don’t want to be sold into a doctrine on how I should see something, I just want to enjoy it.
I do agree that Arch is much bigger than its codebase (I just sometimes wish it wasn’t, with the sole exception of the Arch Wiki)
“embracing your Britishness abroad” is just a euphemism for feeling homesick to the point of delirium
I prefer to make unfounded comments to tired experts and note their answers, whilst spamming them with severe negative feedback to the point that they develop other interests out of exhaustion… leaving me the new expert in the field!
Billy West? What is that, some kind of old fake cowboy name
At the same time, if you know your candidate is going to win and you live in a shitty two-party system, then the only means you have to protest about the policies of the party you primarily support is to give them a no vote when they’re guaranteed to win.
Example, everyone knew the Labor party was going to win in the UK election, it was guaranteed after the 14 years of incompetence from the Tories. That being said, Labor really wasn’t promising much. The only party that were offering any real change were the Greens.
So what do you, knowing that Labor are going to win but not agreeing with their policies? You let them know by voting for other parties, and then Labor reassesses their policies on the votes they lost.
