I'd not be surprised if these attacks were linked to the recent lawsuits IA had to go through concerning copyright and such...

Obviously it's a very complex and complicated situation that would take multiple books to expose and explain entirely.
And obviously if we were to dismantle this system overnight it would wreak havoc on societies and people.
Your example of locally vs chinese manufactured products is one of many examples of the oppressive systems we have in place.
Say you have a factory in your hometown that produces X and employs 1000 people. And because of political choices, and search for more profits, the owner of the factory decides to relocate to China.
Why China? Because of more lenient work regulation and human rights protection, the cost of labour is cheaper. At least it used to be, given that it changed a bit in recent years.
So the factory in your hometown closes, 1000 people are now filing for unemployment. And 1000 people across the globe are now employed in the new factory, for less pay and probably rough working conditions. They manufacture the same product for cheaper, but that product is still sold for the same price in your home country, or is slightly more expensive (to cover the cost of relocation and shipping for instance).
The owner now takes a bigger margin, 1000 people are unemployed and need to find another job and 1000 Chinese people work in the factory (usually in terrible conditions). With that, you just displaced the potential unrest of people wanting higher pay or better working conditions.
The people in your hometown now have to rely on social security nets not to starve because of slashed revenue, especially if the factory was the main employment source in the region. The people in China now have a job but one that will probably fuck up their health and with enough time, they will manage to ask for better working conditions. If they get them and the cost of labour gets too high for the owner, the cycle repeats in another country, let's say Kenya.
In the meantime, the owner is probably friends with other people like him, most of them having ties to people with political power or influence. Where they can do similar things to your public services, healthcare, education system, etc.These people control most of the narrative via media ownership, so they can steer public opinion away from their actions.
In countries with a colonial past, these people also use their country's influence to impose their will on locals.
Like bribing the current government to build a pipeline through the country, or fuelling unrest, or arming militias to overthrow a government that doesn't play well with their plans.
All that to get cheaper materials or cheaper labour to manufacture abroad what used to be manufactured in your hometown. But now the product is more expensive, usually of worse quality and you can't afford it anymore because you lost your job, because a guy wanted more zeros on his spreadsheet.
Obviously this is simplified and lacks nuance, but that's roughly how all of these systems play together and end up being oppressive either in your country or across the world.

You're not the one doing the oppression but everything we consume and many things we can and can't do all stem from oppressive systems.
Like exploitation of the global South, exploitation from billionaires, the consequences of colonialism, bashing minorities and migrants, religious oppression, etc.
Our first world living standards are all built on the remnants and on current oppressive systems.

And energy dense too!
It also requires a literal village to run and maintain.
And that's the problem, I don't want to see a nuclear power plant managed by fucking Amazon or Google.

Yeah, I believe that too. As an actual proportion of all living people, actually (as in from birth, with a pathological lack of empathy or similar) bad people are most likely a very thin minority.
The rest come from nurturing (friends, family, economic situation), political choices (affordable healthcare, housing, food safety), and bad luck.
We are also gullible and ignorant most of the time, which probably doesn't help either.

You can use udev rules and systemd mount or AutoFs.

L'argent va toujours au même endroit que pour les autres privatisations. Dans les poches des copains et des actionnaires.
Et ensuite avec des magouilles habituelles, ça finira par coûter plus cher à l'État et aux consommateurs pour un service moins performant.
La magie du néo libéralisme 👍👍

Not sure what you mean, we only have growing inequalities, fascism on the rise, mass media being extremely polarised, mega corporation basically running the world, a climate catastrophe in progress, a mass extinction and a plastic problem, mass surveillance being rolled out everywhere and at least one genocide running its course.
How much more dystopian can it get ?
Oh yeah, a lot more, somehow (ai face recognition, water and food shortages, extreme weather patterns, killer drones, etc.)

If I remember correctly, it scans system files and replaces broken/corrupted ones. It can work on some issues, but it's not a fix all thing.

Also try SFC /scannow

I really don't understand why in the fuck would you make a movie about Trump at this point in time. The guy is dreaming about becoming a dictator for the US and is a convicted felon. Dude doesn't need any more publicity.
BestBouclettes 2w ago • 100%
Yeah, because of US interference and the EU complacency on having a unified army/defense system, we're absolutely not ready if the US went rogue with a guy like Trump.
It's very worrying for the future ...
BestBouclettes 2w ago • 100%
It's something we should have done back in 2016 already, heavily reducing our reliance on the US in cases like that. Be it militarily or economically. The EU can't keep being the third player in whatever world we are heading right into.

Yeah and one who is secretly a traitor plotting for global instability. Man, these writers need a reality check.
En voyant cette affaire remonter, je suis sérieusement en train de me poser la question sur l'issue des élections législatives. On a entendu parler de la victoire du RN à l'assemblée pour montrer à la population à quel point ils sont incompétents, ce qui entraînera leur défaite aux présidentielles de 2027. Avec l'affaire des dîners, est ce qu'on ne serait pas en réalité dans ce genre de scénario mais avec le NFP plutôt que le RN ? Pour l'instant, on a un président qui refuse de reconnaître la victoire (même si elle est mineure) du NFP, une coalition qui ne se fera probablement pas, un gouvernement pas encore formé et un premier ministre à qui on a refusé la démission. Le même président qui dîne (lui ou ses laquais, pas vraiment de différence) chez un bourgeois fraudeur multi récidiviste, avec des membres de la droite et de l'extrême droite, pour apparemment, "faire connaissance". Avec la machine de propagande bourgeoise qu'on a pu voir en action, toutes ces choses-là vont être récupérées et utilisées contre la gauche à un moment donné. Si le bilan du NFP est mitigé, soit par une éventuelle incompétence, soit par les bâtons dans les roues qu'ils auront pris, en 2027, leurs chances de remporter les élections seront très probablement nulles. Est ce que je fais de la paranoïa ou ce scénario semble plausible ?
