glitching

where's the "...or else" part?

yeah, e.g. fedora has by default a root and home subvolume. the caveat is, standard installers are either incapable of allowing you to install to a subvolume or are super-cumbersome, as that’s currently not a top UX priority, so, a manual install process (with e.g. debootstrap and the like) is often needed.

The issue is them having any info to give out in the first place, it is a horrendous transgression for a shop that touts privacy as their thing. Signal demonstrated that you can decouple payment info from account info and thus they ain't got nothing to produce, MLAT or not. The least Proton coulda done is mimic that tech. edit: are you shills illiterate, what's your deal? signal also accepts payments, the kind normal people use, like CC and stuff. and they decoupled payment info from account info, so nobody can link John Smith, Fuckville, AL to account protonshill4lyfe@proton.yo

not my circus, not my monkeys but them positions… as mr. cici famously quipped, that’s alot of buffers you really need a VP of eng and then a director of eng and further liaisons until you reach an actual engineer for a shop that has one product? again, what do I care, spend it in good health

what is this take based on? there’s a direct line between “we want this shit done” and “judge rubberstamps order”? no process, no interview, no hearing, no nothings? medieval courts maybe worked that way, no system of government I know of nowadays does.

I imagine they got courts and lawyers and motions and hearings and stuff over there, even if the fight is doomed you need to show your teeth once in a while. and what’s with the proton employee reviewing whether there were “explosives” and “guns” involved, naturally based on super-reliable evidence, what the fuck is that?! and alla that aside, why do they have payment and user info on file, for what fucking purpose? there’s either user privacy or there ain’t. and them folks are in the “ain’t” camp.

article in case you can’t read it: lemmy.ml/post/44086795 proton coulda put up a fight, a loud one, for optic’s sake if nothing else. rolling over on any (and by implication, all) request should be the last straw in their long line of snafus; by way of “death by a thousand cuts”, I would never entrust them with anything of importance. signal demonstrated that you could decouple payment info from user data and a shop that touts the privacy part of their offerings coulda at least mimic such a thing.

yeah, you’re safe. either boot to the installer, open terminal, enter command, reboot, or, hold down command-s before clicking on the usb icon. that will boot into single user mode, which is way faster.

you got two graphics chips in there - Intel HD4000 and Nvidia GT650M. the system is supposed to switch amongst them based on load, but that doesn’t always work as expected and the Nvidia chip is always powered on, using battery, emitting heat, etc. by entering this variable, you turn off the Nvidia chip entirely and the system runs off the reliable and super-supported Intel HD4000, which is hella plenty for the majority of use cases. I got one of these and running on the Intel graphics it performs like it was built for linux; with Nvidia, total shitshow. also make sure to implement the wake/sleep scripts tu turn off/on CPU cores if it takes a long time to wake from sleep.

the GT650M/GT750M in 2012/2013 models are beyond useless nowadays, using either noveau or some ancient nvidia driver version. that’s for wayland, it’s somewhat better with X11 but you’ll lose a buncha stuff regarding HiDPI and touchpad etc. so what @waffle@sh.itjust.work said, only it’s way simpler to do that - disable discrete graphics via an EFI variable. you’ll lose video out but gain a way less power hungry machine, running way cooler.
