Syria, one of the largest contributors, is not exactly stable yet. Israel is making sure of that with their continued warmongering

They do use the same pass though, that's why it's so strange to me. Thanks for the help, this at least gives me a clue.

I'll dig around and update the post for reference.

Right. Wouldn't it make sense to unlock it along with my root drive when I log in though? There should be a way to do that

 

I installed an additional SSD on my pc. Everything works ok, except I need to unlock it with my root password on every session so that it mounts.

I've tried formatting it to change the 'owner', tried adding it to the user group, and I can't find any other solutions. Any ideas?

This happens irrelevant of DE (happens on KDE and hyprland). I'm running tumbleweed, though this looks like a config problem rather than a distro problem.

Save the puppies act! If we don't know what exactly you say while pounding your wife, how could we possibly hope to save your dear pup, which I promise you did not consent to a threesome?!

And eeevery body loves puppies, no one will object to that. In case you do, you'd be suspected in zoophilia by the way, so don't do it!

Reading this made me even happier I don't have to live there

Can you share that? Having a hard time finding it

I understand the logic of it, my point is that this is a trust/honesty based system which leaves you cornered. Here are some problems with it:

  • placing a low value on my house to pay less taxes exposes me to a hostile buyout
  • placing a realistic (e.g. around average for the region) price doesn't solve the previous problem. I'm still in danger of a hostile buyout, while also paying higher taxes. What's more, even if everyone else plays fairly, this additional % someone else paid to take my house is now the minimum added on top of their own valuation, driving prices up.
  • placing an unreachably high price would bankrupt me as I can't pay the taxes, so there is no scenario in which this works out for me
  • given a realistic and unequal economy, there will be those who can't afford to place a higher price on their house, i can just go and buy them out on sale, then rent them back to them (that one might sound familiar)

The fault in your assumption is 1. that this would discourage corporations from buying up; and 2. That you live in an equal and just society;

That's not how this works. A better solution would be to tax more aggressively second+ homes and severely limit what corporations can invest into.

Why should a company be able to profit off of second hand housing? This isn't a commodity, but it's treated as such. Companies should be able to build new housing (for sale) and own housing only for the purposes of, say, housing their employees if they so wish. I simply see no benefits to allowing companies trade living spaces like stocks.

My example was about how people get together to make revolutions happen, not wether they were good/bad or what ended up happening after. I chose those examples because in both cases a revolt was long time coming but people couldn't do it until they were organised

Look at history. You need a tipping point, but more importantly, you need organised masses and a vision/visionary to get behind.

That's how Lenin got in power. It's how the French decapitated their king. That's why there was a rally at the White house when trump lost the previous election but nobody is doing anything against him now at the states while he dismantles the country.

The instances are structured much like discord, in that you have a separate server for topics/communities. Think of them as servers that can talk to each other. Instead of subreddits you have this.

Regarding Reddit (US company), well, depending on your values and political views, you might see the need and have the desire to not depend on/support the platform.

In what way exactly is the current administration better?
