i mean i’m not in the US but still it seems like a decent place than many other places in the world. maybe i’m affected by propaganda lol

have tried to do this once after seeing it somewhere, my motherboard firmware couldn’t boot from the second efi partition and only recognized the first partition. (i believe this was a gigabyte motherboard but not too sure)

with UEFI, i don’t think it’s much of an issue as it once was. i have one machine with windows and linux installed, windows doesn’t mess up linux’s bootloader/partition.

i don’t recommend doing this. it’s only going to cause issues with not much (any?) gain.

is it really that bad…?

do you speak korean? i’m a native (south) korean speaker. i have no problem understanding north korean propaganda tv/newspaper. have also interacted with north korean defectors few times. surely there’s differences but they’re not “very different”

i recommend reading this page with a translator

languages are different between the two countries

they aren’t, there’s very little difference in the language. minor differences in intonation and vocabs, but that’s same for every different dialects (even only considering south korea).

you ever been to korea? i’m (south) korean and live here, there are certainly many negative aspects of this country like any other but i wouldn’t say it’s a “terrifying/scary hypercapitalist place”.

this is not really a solution and it’s not gonna work if you use an app. but i just use this browser addon+@ called hoardy web to save every page i visit locally. then i can revisit that page later on.

btw there’s a spoiler tag on lemmy that can be useful for this sorta stuff

thought it actually exploded from the title. this is just swelling and it’s actually pretty common. doesn’t seem mild so you should definitely replace the battery though

wow sucks if that’s true. why wouldn’t they just fallback to GTK+3 file picker when dbus isn’t working well?

i also kinda have dbus killed on my system, gotta see if i get this issue after my distro gets ESR 153…

nice choice! jic you’re not aware yet, there’s https://old.lemmy.today/ that looks exactly like old reddit

tbh a large part of it probably has to do with you getting older and looking back in the good old days in rose tinted glasses

some parts of the world got better now compared to few decades ago, while others have gotten much worse

did you get july 2026 security updates? there’s a very recent linux kernel exploit that’s (almost?) universally compatible and can root the device.

i believe it’s CVE-2026-43499, example for samsung phones here https://github.com/BuSung-dev/Root-My-Galaxy

also here https://xdaforums.com/t/the-holy-grail-universal-no-bl-root-for-qualcomm-devices-bypass-locked-bootloaders.4782827/ (OP seems to be sorta llm slop but there’s genuine info from other people’s posts)

it’s fine but honestly there’s much better machines (performance wise) for better price these days, and the screen on T480 is usually pretty shit. i’d get something else if this is gonna be your primary machine.

you’re just lucky and it’ll get blocked soon. my internet connection worked until early this month. my cellular lasted a bit longer but got blocked two weeks ago.

new reddit keeps working, old reddit just redirects to a login page

tried a few temp mail providers and doesn’t seem to work for me

lemmy with mlmym feels much more like home than reddit now…
