At least it can’t be as bad as what we’ve got in Australia.

A ham fisted law passed through to ban ‘all vapes’ except for a select few that are manufactured by philip morris and the other big tobacco companies.

The tax on cigarettes alongside this has made an extremely lucrative black market for organised crime.

I unfortunately bought a subscription before dickhead made his statement. Looks like I’m with them for a year >.<

Yeah I hate this stuff too, I usually pipe it into a file figure out what it’s doing and manually install the program from there.

FWIW I’ve never found anything malicious from these scripts but my internal dialogue starts screaming when I see these in the wild, I don’t want to run some script and not know what it’s touching malicious or not it’s a PITA.

As a linux user, I like to know what’s happening under the hood as best I can and these scripts go against that

What the actual fuck, Kavin.

Absolutely loved that novel (novella?). The descriptive language really captures a lot of the theme, from the shipyard chained together into a shanty town to the description of Sols oven being modified to different energy sources as societies resources dwindled

Would absolutely recommend it, especially if you enjoyed soylent green

My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

2. Boot into live distro

3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

Hope it helps any newcomers!
