I mean, he’s been implementing hard right policies all along, so…

The default actually works pretty well these days.

Messing with the EFI partition, for instance by attempting to have two of those on separate disks, will probably cause you more pain than Windows will. As far as I understand, only one EFI partition can be configured in BIOS as the boot partition, so you will have to change the configuration in BIOS whenever you want to boot to the other OS.

Windows does have a history of changing the default EFI bootloader once in a while; however your chosen bootloader is still there, just not marked as the default anymore. A Windows app like EasyUEFI will let you change the default back.

Windows 98 really sucked and running Unix at home became an option.

Nice socks! Where’s a good place to find quality socks of this style?

I mean, client-side scanning would do shit all to help anyway because nothing prevents culprits from encrypting the messages in a different app they are using for sending. This is just entirely a net loss – right as fash are poised to take over too. What a mess.

Yes, I and could also see an alliance between Le Pen and whatever UMP (hard right conservatives that used to rule all the time until Sarkozy drove the party into the wall, for non French people) calls itself these days. So, if indeed the snap election is a gamble to keep himself in power, it’s a risky gamble.

If it’s a gamble to let them rule and fail, as you hypothesize, that’s even riskier. Fash have a way of staying in power somewhat longer than their popular support.

Either way it’s not going to be fun days in France for a little while, damn.

Sorry, I should have been clearer: his party scored badly in the EU elections, so he lost credibility in France and is calling snap elections in France. I’ll edit my comment above to clarify.

Le Pen’s party polls strong but has few allies. My guess is that Macron hopes that even with his party weakened, he can form a broad coalition that would keep Le Pen out. I have no idea how likely that is to work.

Macron’s party got disastrous results and got trounced by the far right in the European elections.

He had been selling himself as the shield that protected France from the rise of the local far right party. With these results, he has lost his credibility, and therefore his government did as well.

Therefore he’s calling out-of-schedule French parliamentary elections that – I assume – he hopes will reelect his party and allies ahead of the far right. It might work: the far right party polls strong at around 30%, but has few allies, and may not be able to form a coalition government. If Macron himself can, that will strengthen his legitimacy.

Needless to say, this is a risky gamble.

Empirically: they are.

Interesting deep dive and very much worth a read. I’d say it probably underestimates the weight of finance-related pressures coming from the CFO’s office, though.

I am highly doubtful trump would be worse.

Lol.

Presumably the My Little Pony comic. I haven’t read it but I understand it likes putting in references that will amuse adults.

Correct, AFAIU.

“Oh, ta gueule.”

Oh, shut the fuck up. It’s really crude language. Which makes it even funnier.

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.

Looks like an encoding problem, not a font problem. Make sure your terminal is configured to use the UTF-8 encoding.

Maybe read the fucking room, Mal.

Thank you. Excellent observation It is, in fact, the very fact that makes the comment you are responding to funny.
