It's not that difficult if you go through it step by step. But anyway, you're 100% sure you can boot from those same GNU/Linux images on other computers? If you get into a grub terminal, that's an indication you booted from it. Some images are like that. I recommend that you try it with Trisquel or GNU/Linux Mint.

So the only problem is that we need to learn to share the planet? That'd mean it's a matter of organizing ourselves differently, rather than inherent, meaning the world is not overpopulated. Do you agree?

My political stance cannot be captured in a spectrum and there's no group I align myself with.

Yep. The FBI approached moot from the very beginning and he always complied. There was a whistleblower who claimed the FBI forced moot to let them take over moderation on /b/, and he provided some evidence for this, such as the fact that during the janitor applications, you can apply to be janitor for any board except /b/. And around 2015 (IIRC), there appeared tests with automated posts on /pol/, where it'd always be the same OP, and then later on someone would bring up Columbia. Censorship also increased over the years. Red flags abound.

Try to understand the problem. ReeferMadness may have a point when he says it's a virus (a rootkit, I suppose). Maybe Windows corrupts it each time on boot, or maybe it never really got out of a corrupted state. It's curious that it fails to boot multiple GNU/Linux distros, even after a BIOS update. To be safe, it's okay to assume that it's both of these issues, and to find a solution for them both.

I will say that if this is a rootkit, it's a really advanced one. I've never encountered that. But it exists. You want to do the flashing independently of the BIOS itself (since a rootkit in the BIOS may corrupt the update process otherwise).

Option A: backup BIOS

Some motherboards have a backup read-only BIOS which you can use for recovery. Check if yours does (by finding out the model name and looking it up, or by checking the manual), and if so, look up how to boot it.

Option B: DOS

If you only have one BIOS, you can flash it from within FreeDOS, if you have the appropriate program. For Gigabyte boards, the program is called Efiflash, and there's probably an equivalent for boards from other companies. You also need to download the latest update for your BIOS from your an official website. So put FreeDOS on a USB stick or CD-ROM drive alongside the flasher program and a BIOS image (and put those two in the same folder).

Then you need to find a way to boot into it. What you can try is to disconnect all your HDDs / SSDs and boot with just the stick / CD connected. In fact, if you have some other media which you're 100% sure your PC should be able to boot from, you can try it with that media first. If it doesn't work with that, there's no use in trying it with FreeDOS.

Option C: USB programmer

But if the above options are both unavailable, you'll have to resort to flashing with a USB programmer. This is more difficult, but I can guide you.

Please let me know if either option A or B is available. If so, I recommend that you don't actually do it, but that you instead make backups first and wipe the disk with Windows on it. Then you flash your BIOS. If both those options aren't available, it may be worth your while to try the BIOS update again like before, but this time perhaps only after wiping your disk. Alternatively, I can explain how to do it with a programmer.

Can you boot into Windows? On many computers, it controls the BIOS boot process. So you can look for the option to reboot into BIOS settings from there. And why not just make backups and then wipe your drive?

I didn't immediately think it was astroturf either. I'll say that when I post a joke, I give it a boost by immediately voting it fun in addition to the default insightful vote. Combined with the low age, this makes the algorithm rank it quite high (I saw it on #7 or so straight away), but this effect is counteracted if there isn't a stream of upvotes. But a post like this is easy to consume and invites quick upvotes, so those could all be authentic. Will you consider undeleting it? I think a bit of banter about the situation will do us all good.

Okay, good detective work. Here's my current impression of what happened, based on the limited data I have. It should be taken more as a possibility.

  • /u/bobbobbybob and /u/magnora7 were bickering over how this site should be moderated. bob left out of frustration.
  • m7 may or may not have banned bob on top of that. (I can't tell.)
  • the ironleft trolls, realizing that bob wouldn't be around to set the record straight, created the hoax that m7 banned bob for transphobic slurs. The idea was to frame others for spreading it. They did this by using fake accounts (/u/bobbobbybob2 and /u/bobbobbybob3) to send this image (which is clearly fake) to, at the very least, /u/AmericanMuskrat and /u/Enza (as you can see here).
  • Muskrat, mistaking it for a real screenshot by the real bob, shares it with others.
  • m7 gets the impression that the fake screenshot originated from Muskrat and bans him.
  • Muskrat has only limited capacity for drama and, instead of fighting it, simply announces his leave.

So how do you guys feel about this? Can you see how they were simply looking who'd take the bait, and how Muskrat was caught in crossfire? Of course, I only have part of the picture. But m7, please consider to what degree you're basing his ban on actual evidence that he's a shill instead of being framed. For example, when you say he posted about how great it is to have sex with 17 year olds, was it really him posting those things? I saw this screenshot, but it's obviously just as fake as the bob screenshot. I don't know in what other ways he was stirring up drama (because I miss things). But if we're left with him pushing the boundaries, then that doesn't mean he's a shill. Carswell posted in /s/tits, but that doesn't make him a shill. If Muskrat's a shill, he's an impossibly convincing one. He made witty posts and befriended established users. This is atypical for shills, they don't put in that kind of effort. I have further evidence that he was framed, which I will PM to you.

Edit: to add, I think bob's a real user as well. They were rude, but people have acted like that online forever, they're simply enjoying the anonymity that the Internet provides. I don't think so many people would find them interesting (myself included) if they were a troll.

What's the source for asymptomatic transmission being 0.4% or otherwise insignificant?

( Addition2: The virus has not been properly isolated. And the tests are so bad that some scientists even think that SARS-Cov2 may not even exist. Or maybe it did not spread that far, like SARS1 and swine-flu, around which a world-level crisis was organized as well. )

The thing is that long covid is a worldwide phenomenon, people around me have suffered it. If SARS-CoV2 doesn't exist, an alternative explanation is needed.

The elderly, the main Covid sufferers, should have been treated with antibiotics (doxycycline or HCQ), imervectin, zithromax, vitamin D, zinc and a steroid aerosol like budesonide or such to keep their upper respiratory tract working; they were refused these treatments... by Jesus in conspiracy

Browser usage schemes for managing a large amount of tabs by LarrySwinger2 in Internet

[–]LarrySwinger2[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

/u/JasonCarswell asked for my consultancy regarding browsers, and this was my advice. It isn't polished, I might get around to that later, but in the meantime I thought I'd share this. The context is that he would have thousands of tabs open, using extensions that present the tabs vertically in a tree, and the options he was using would hog his memory. So you don't need to read the parent comments. I'm giving a few options, some of them very obscure, for having tree tabs or flat but vertical tabs that don't hog your memory (as much).

Do you have a source on that?

Note how his hand covers the black microphone briefly as well, and afterwards the microphone's in front. The footage from the other angle can be seen here. Even from the other angle, his body covers the black microphone. And also note how much the gray camera changes in size compared to Biden. The footage is clearly edited.

Oops, I copy/pasted the wrong link. Yes, it gave me a chuckle although it's also cancerous. I meant to link to this video. It shows clearly that it responds differently when you ask about the CIA spying on people compared to other organizations. Really creepy.

You should only be using an old computer by Panzerfaust in technology

I mistrust Coreboot because there are many NSA agents in their team. Even though it's open-source, what I hear is that spooks who infiltrate such a project will push for complex code, and if the team isn't competent enough, they'll go along with it. As more and more complex code creeps into the software, it becomes vulnerable and hard to fix or maintain. How do you feel about this /u/Panzerfaust ?

the PSP wasn't anywhere near to being that terrible.

Could you expand on that / provide links? There's no way to neutralize PSP, so I want to know exactly what it does. But how can we even know that when the code is proprietary?

I disagree. Computers don't get slower, but the WWW becomes heavier and heavier, and for many old computers it's become too painful to browse. Even a simple HTML5 game doesn't run smoothly on my X220.

And as for Intel ME: it isn't that hard to neutralize it, I did it on my own computer recently. Even if you apply that on a newer computer where not all the code is deleted, you can be pretty sure it doesn't spy on you. After neutralization, Intel ME only runs during the startup process, and even then it doesn't have a TCP/IP stack.

Newer chips are faster and more efficient, so you get value for your money. If you don't do any intensive stuff, then weaker hardware will suffice. It's not like all new computers are crazy expensive.

Regarding breakability / hardware being hard to replace: that seems to only apply to laptops (unless something changed in desktop computers that I'm not aware of in the last 5 years). His advice does have more relevance in that area, also because older laptops have better keyboards. But the choice is limited. X220 is a go-to option, but again, it might not be capable of everything you want to do with it. Intel HD 3000 is a limitation. And the batteries of older laptops have degraded, so you have to get a 9-cell battery and carry more weight for less battery life.

What does reputation matter on Reddit? Since it's content-centric, it only affects your karma, which is only there for status and doesn't plummet quickly anyway. You may get banned from a couple of subreddits, but you can always make a new account.

  1. False flag attacks.

  2. Newspeak and wrongthink. Words have been injected into our vocabulary where a negative connotation is included in the description, and the two become inseparable. The meaning of other words has intentionally been shifted. There are things we aren't supposed to think, such as the idea that conspiracies are real. A TV host only needs to ask "that sounds like conspiracy theory" and the interviewee will immediately retreat and try to avoid the categorization. Another example is "privilege", which is simply an advantage you have, but you get shamed for having it simply from the label. And the book also describes how contradicting notions are held side by side at different moments. An example of this is the idea that there's no such thing as a human race. Differing from this view can get you cancelled without any argumentation being necessary; it has become a dogma. If the dogma were true, it'd entail that it's impossible to be racist. After all, how can you have prejudices or discriminate based on race, if there are no human races? But the same people who subscribe to the dogma, call people racist left and right.

Here's my two cents by LarrySwinger2 in SaidIt

Why bother saying anything at all? Did you think it made a difference?

I was mostly articulating it for myself because I didn't want to keep it bottled up, and I wanted to see where it'd lead.

I especially love this quote:

I hope she grows out of being socially conservative. It's a weird belief for trans people to hold.

They actually pride themselves on their black and white thinking.

What do you mean when you talk about nations within nations, by the way? How does it differ from nations living in close proximity of each other, or sharing the same area and government?
