Climate change deathes currently are largely avoidable and it comes up as a relatively small source of death.

I’d like to see you “avoid” a wet bulb event in a 3rd world country. These have started becoming an increasingly common occurrence in the last decade or so. Climate change also disproportionately affects poorer countries, the ones no one cares about. Entire archipelagos projected to disappear in decades. So fuck off with your “caring about climate change is for privileged people”.

Nope. No one alive today will witness any kind of apocalypse generation killing event.

Hysterics don’t make you right. That is in more than 100 years when anyone talking right now is long dead.

You do realize that there’s people alive today that will live in 2100 right? And that they will be in their 80’s (those who can talk today), not 100+. Have you seen any graphs on what the temperatures and water levels will be at the current pace? Even optimistic scenarios are hellish.

You are factually wrong, no matter how confidently you say it. I am not insulting your intelligence for your opinions like you seem to do in almost every comment, just informing that you do not understand climate change like you claim to “completely” do. I guess what you actually mean is that it will get bad after you are dead, so it doesn’t really matter.

If it’s not about embedded content, then… just don’t visit them? I’m not trying to be an ass, I just don’t understand the goal. I guess it makes sense to block on the network level if you want to prevent your household from using them?

Anyway, you can just add the domains to the uBlock/PiHole blacklist or your OS’s hosts file, it’s not that many.

What’s their angle? US companies can seemingly get a pass on copyright infringement if it’s for training AI. Why say that?

Most likely just a unique link.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve - I guess you want to block websites hosting AI slop, not “AI providers” themselves? But still, you would just get dead links instead of having that content filtered out. If this is about the chatbots popping up offering to “help” on random websites, I believe those should be covered in more general blocklists

It is not a “my side” thing. I do believe that 8 billion humans have tackling climate change in their best interest, whether they know it or not.

You aren’t doing jack shit of this radical change you spout on about. You don’t actually want to help, so you come up with excuses to do nothing while feeling better than those who do because your ideas all start with someone else moving first.

Uh, source? Do I know you?

Because you don’t have the leverage or organization to start there. Instead you must start by slowly working to put out the fire and getting your fellow countryman to see the benefits of socialist policy.

The leverage is numbers. 8 billion humans against what, a stadium of people? And the organization at this point is just basic survival instinct?? We’re on a burning planet and being told that yes we need change, but we also need to wageslave while doing it. I do agree on the “teaching” part btw.

You exist in this system, not outside of it. You start here for that is reality, not fantasy. Id love to start from the position of being the rich using my wealth to sway policy. It’s not reality though.

The system is something that monkeys invented. I “exist in it” in the sense in the sense that I am contemporary to it, yes. I exist in what you could call the universe, nature, or reality.

List one that doesn’t start with some fantastical revolution you aren’t organizing and aren’t willing to risk your life in as a first mover

Nice try glowie. I just know what has already happened in the past and can try to extrapolate. And again, I don’t know what basis you have to speak of my character.

If the answer is about forming a new party in a country that has winner takes all or first past the post, I fear you’ve not thought it through.

Jesus christ, is that the most radical, outside-of-the system take you could think of for global policy change?

We already have one country fucking society, the climate, the economy, etc thanks to no regulations. We definitely should also let them obscure the fucking sun

We have to pick the least bad option and then try to make them better because that’s just the way shit works

No we don’t, and no it isn’t. That’s how the suppression of radical change works. I am not saying that anything short of utopia is not worth pursuing, just that I don’t see why we shouldn’t start from that and then work down to a realistic compromise, rather than starting from the bad options that are given to us. There are other choices, if you can look further than your nose.

That’s what you get when you just slurp up the whole internet for training with no filters or checks

Pretty interesting, kudos to them for building a different system and not yet another distro. The end result of having a ton of pre-installed software in the hope that it covers your hardware and workflows makes it a pass for me as I’m all about being lightweight and modular, but it does seem like an almost perfect grandma distro.

Huh, I knew the plants used for enrichment were called centrifuges but for some reason I always assumed they were not literal centrifuges. Neat.

The american obsession with using euphemism to mask fucked-up shit

I wish I could both upvote and downvote at the same time

The connection is that while the “system drive” (C:\ in Windows, / in Linux) for each system has its own partition, the EFI partition is shared. This is the partition where the files needed to load the respective OSes live, aka the entries you see in the bootloader. You could create a new EFI partition and tell Linux to use that one, but then you would have to select the OS from the boot devices in the BIOS, so no one does that.

Also is the fix to manually increase the size of that partition?

Well, yes, but the problem is that it’s at the start of the drive, usually. That means you can not expand it without moving the main Windows partition, which is a pretty bad idea (terrible on HDDs) as it’s prone to data loss. If your OEM put it at the end then you’re very lucky and it’s a quick operation, although it might require to delete some OEM-specific partition (which only serves to give you the branded wallpapers and bloatware if you factory reset from within Windows)

Honestly, if you don’t distrohop this shouldn’t be a problem. I had to do a stupid installation dance to have a 500MiB EFI partition, but I was motivated to do it because:

1. I hate Microsoft
2. I wanted to fuck around with kernels, bootloaders, and distros

That’s an if statement, not an authority.

No one mentioned this yet, but a possible issue is that Windows, for some damn reason, still creates a 100MiB EFI partition, although by EFI spec It should be at least 256 iirc

This can cause the /boot/EFI partition to fill up. Some distros/bootloader are more affected than others, but I’ve had it happen a couple of times
