Finally, a correct answer within the context.

To me, the meme acknowledges that GOG installers are shared in groups, which is piracy since the other people didn’t pay for it. (That doesn’t mean it’s bad btw.)

That’s racist and orientalist af. A people and their government are never equated. They’re always separate things. That’s literally sinophobia. Will you tell us that PRC citizens overseas are equal to their government as well, justifying their repression overseas?

Palestinians dislike PA precisely because it’s a collaborationist government which Israel uses to manage their occupation. Even now the PA is helpless against Israeli attacks in the West Bank.

Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Sci hub no longer updates, and these books are too recent.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Checked there several times already.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

That’s not usually an option for books. Articles, maybe, but I need textbooks.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

My library doesn’t have it unfortunately. I’ve asked for help anyway, perhaps through an inter-library loan. We’ll see.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

I’ve already mentioned in the body that it ain’t on libgen. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a point of asking. I’ll check the other wiki though, thanks.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah, that’s a good tip, but I need the whole book. I’ve checked.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

That works quite well in my country, where book piracy isn’t as policed, but that’s not an option for me because I can’t access or buy a physical copy.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Both are on Oxford Politics Trove. Would you happen to have institutional access?

Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

I did ask them to check if they could access it through interlibrary loan. We’ll see. Buying the book seems prohibitive though. It’s highway robbery prices.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Thanks for the lead, but they don’t have it.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Awesome! Thank you for telling me about Scribd downloader and finding the first book.

As for the Academia.edu link, it doesn’t seem like premium will provide the PDF, that’s just premium membership. The actual PDFs are governed by individual authors. Seems that author uploaded a preview of the book perhaps to indicate that they contributed to it so it counts as a citation.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

It’s too expensive ://

Yes, as a result of SciHub’s ongoing litigation in India, they voluntarily decided to stop updating their database. This is old news. You can look it up.

How to install Skyrim

I downloaded the game files, mounted the .iso files and added the game to setup.exe to my steam library and installed the game under the mountpoint. When i click play in steam i just get back to the installer. Running the SkyrimSe.exe in steam(located in the CODEX directory) doesnt work. I use Arch Linux.

mambabasa ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Use Lutris instead. Add the EXE, install it, change the launch EXE to the correct file.

Israeli army executes an elderly Palestinian after using him in propaganda campaign about its ‘safe corridor’ in Gaza (euromedmonitor.org)

Geneva – The Israeli army’s execution of an elderly Palestinian after using him in a propaganda campaign promoting its “safe corridor” in Gaza was strongly condemned in a statement released by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor today....

mambabasa ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Killing elderly civilians in the back, a famous example of self defense.

mambabasa ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

You’re literally proving it ain’t self-defense asshole

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Really? Default for Linux Mint has / and /home in one partition. So reinstalling erases /home as well.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

is this daily backup in-built in SSDs or is that a manual thing?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

I have daily backups for brtfs but for my / only via Linux Mint’s Timeshift. I do manual backups for some of my home folders every week. I take it the backups you mention would be lost over a reinstall?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Alright, but actually I don’t think I’m maximizing my use of btrfs. I only use btrfs because of its compatibility with Linux Mint’s Timeshift tool. Would you be implying if I used btrfs for the whole partition, I can reinstall / without overwriting /home?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Also, if I don’t indicate a swap partition during install, would the OS use swap files automatically?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

I use btrfs for my / because I can use Linux Mint’s Timeshift tool to make snapshots, but I don’t want snapshots of /home to be included. Am I doing this wrong?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

How about when I reinstall the OS? Will it only affect the / and not touch the /home?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

How about when I need to reinstall the OS? Will overwriting / not touch /home like with my current set up?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

In my next reinstall, can I combine the / and swap partitions (they’re next to each other so I can do this) and will swap files just be automatically created instead?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Makes sense, thanks.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Alright, thanks, I’ll try some experiments the next time I have the opportunity to do so.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Thanks!

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Thanks I think this is the answer I was looking for!

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Thanks!

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Am I doing something wrong? Not seeing a particular option? I have never seen or experienced what you’re describing.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

I didn’t need home folder snapshots.

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Like what?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

How do I set that up?

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Thanks

mambabasa OP ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

But I heard ext4 was more stable. What are the trade offs?

mambabasa ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

I’ve been using Webcord with substantial improvements from the native Discord app.

mambabasa ,
@mambabasa@slrpnk.net avatar

Well it works better than the native and I can’t share screen on discord on the browser so it works for me.
