that implies that you're not using the binary anymore since you're in a container; is it using an overlay fs?

“May I have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

it's a variation of the serenity prayer and it's helped me immensely for the last 40ish years

do you have sudo access and are there any rules in /etc/sudo* that match your username or any of your groups? which distribution?

people have been beating this drum for decades and i, for today only, am wondering if it's having any impact despite it being completely true and easy to see.

what are your boot options listed in your firmware/bios? is usb included among them?

if it applies to your situation: system76 has support options.

in the short term: do something that helps you cope with our reality.

in the long term: reach out the people who both love and respect you and tell them how you feel. mutual aid is how we survived every time there's been a hostile government and it'll work again. we've been here before, we've survived, and we will do it again.

The platform is mostly on autopilot; it can limp along for a long time

fwiw i think that karma could be useful in the future; but lemmy lacks the resources to implement it w/o it getting abused.

so i think it makes sense to wait for the those with the finances to pay for the development teams to figure it out and, once they do, we can copy/paste their idea(s) into implementing something like this that is viable and maintainable for lemmy.

that's how karma ends up getting used no matter what you do; as exemplified by reddit and despite all efforts taken to prevent it by its professional staff of developers.

lemmy is run by volunteers who mostly have day jobs & other life hurdles and if people who are paid to dedicate their entire time were & are not able to mitigate karma abuse like it is on reddit; what hope is there for lemmy to succeed where they failed?

why do we need the karma?
