Make sure to disable Windows hybrid sleep. If your system isn’t shutdown properly and you access the Windows partition from another system that can destroy data.

If you just want to keep the data on the Windows partition and usually don’t need to run Windows, I’d remove the Windows drive and keep it somewhere safe, and get another SSD for Linux. That way, the two systems are completely separate and can do nothing to each other.

Swap is mostly a crutch for too little RAM, if the system doesn’t have enough the best solution would be an upgrade. If that’s not possible, consider zram-swap, or if you have to, swap to an SSD (that will reduce its lifespan, though maybe not in a relevant manner). If you swap to an old HDD you won’t have much fun using the system.

Proud enough to show their faces?

I’m unconvinced that pulling back from space programs will make Earth’s ecosystem thrive.

My point was more or less the opposite: Anyone interested in space exploration should also be interested in keeping Earth well livable, because that is needed for its success.

If we can’t manage to keep Earth’s ecosystem thriving to support us, we certainly won’t be able to create a new self-sustaining ecosystem elsewhere. And without that, there’s no chance of any non-Earth settlement being able to sustain a healthy human society and culture long-term.

Without some serious (currently impossible) terraforming, Mars colonies are limited to deep caves or heavily shielded buildings, no outside to relax, nowhere else to go. Have a look at the list of crimes in Antarctica, a similar situation where people are stuck together, that’s not a good environment for mental health, and it will be worse farther away. A Mars colony (edit: or space station) owned by a private company will be a corporate prison, the inhabitants are 100% dependent on that company - who would voluntarily put their lives into the hands of the whims of some narcissistic hoarder with no empathy or regard for workers?

Modern cheats for multiplayer games don’t modify local files (or attribute values in memory), since the server validates everything anyway. They’re about giving you information that’s available but not shown in the game (like see-through walls, or exact skill ranges), or manipulate input (dodge enemy damage, easy combos). Those cheat can run in kernel mode (or at least evade detection from user mode), so the anti-cheat needs kernel mode to be more effective.

It’s usually pretty easy to tell which new theories can be discarded because they don’t explain all the observations that lead us to the dark matter theory in the first place (like e.g. the Bullet Cluster). Or it would be easy if media wasn’t full of uncritical clickbait fluff pieces like this that rather make sensationalist claims than contextualizing how a new study fits into the existing science.

Audiobooks have a simple workaround if you can find a version of the book in text format to download, just index that.

Calibre can create a full text index to search through everything (well, for files that actually contain the text, and it needs a lot of space).

“Free speech” just means “I want to spout garbage without pushback (like fact checking) or consequences.”

How does that help disempower the fossil fuel mafia?

Since they don’t seem to care about it, start using “tweet” for every social media post to devalue them further.

Look for the Big Dipper, left of it about the direction of its handle and twice the handle’s length. https://stellarium-web.org/ for more details.

We haven’t solved the “disposal” question of using fossil fuels, and those turned out (or were known along) to cause much bigger problems.

In other words, lack of accountability leads to bad behaviour. He might be onto something there…

You could try laughing at them instead, but maybe then they start the punching.

And if a self-proclaimed “alpha male” elicits a reaction of fear or anger that confirms their self-image. But being called weird, or laughed at like the clowns they are, undermines their whole act.

For the price I would want it to be a complete smartphone, with SIM and GPS and everything, just with an e-ink display for battery saving and readability in sunlight.

They’re such a bunch of weird cockwombles.
