    maybe the older Frameworks might also be a good option as I've seen the older models go on sale

    Macsbooks I'm hesistent to recommend as you'd be SOL for repairs unless you're near a good repairshop like Louis Rossmann but Macs could still be good depending on what sales you find


    the closest exp I've had with ARM is Arch Linux on my Raspberry Pi 4 which runs but is definitely hampered on performance and functional apps in comparison to any other laptops

    www.ctvnews.ca Air Canada says government should be ready to prevent pilots from striking

    Air Canada said on Thursday that the federal Canadian government should be prepared to intervene to prevent a looming pilots' strike that the carrier said could cause disruption for weeks to come.

    Air Canada says government should be ready to prevent pilots from striking

    Obligatory fuck the CEOs and Shareholders

    > "We are bargaining. We are committed to reaching a deal. But we are saying that if that fails, the government should be ready to intervene and avoid the disruption," - Christophe Hennebelle (Air Canadaā€™s vice-president of corporate communications)

    this is not what a company that's negotiating in good faith does

    > NDP won't support interference > > NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday morning the party would not support efforts to force pilots back to work. > > "We're going to send a clear message again that we are opposed to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, or any government, interfering with workers," said Singh.

    [Question] Encrypted Partition Unlock via Root Unlocking

    For context: I've encrypted the swap partition with: bash cryptsetup -v luksFormat /dev/${DEVICE} cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/${DEVICE} swap

    And what I want is for the user to be able to enter their password only once to decrypt their root partition which would contain a keyfile to then decrypt their swap partition.

    Does anyone know if this is possible? Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone's done this already

    Where is Naomi Wu?
    ofb.biz Where Is Naomi Wu?

    It was such a cute gadget. A tiny computer, brushed aluminum on the outside, with a decent keyboard (albeit with chicklet keys), a Thinkpad-ish pointing stick that would even take a grippy Thinkpad ā€œcatā€™s tongueā€ insert. A fairly fast X86 Intel processor, enough storage, and 8 gigs of memory. And no...

    Where Is Naomi Wu?

    > Archived version > > Naomi Wu has disappeared. Perhaps she has been disappeared. Thatā€™s not rare in China. > > [...] > > The proximate cause of her apparent disappearance, as Jackie Singh explains in detail here, was a discovery that Naomi Wu, an experienced coder, had made. It seemed that the cute little cellphone keyboard applications developed by the Chinese company Tencent, and used by just about everyone, were spyware. They could log keystrokes, and did it outside of even very secure applications such as Signal, so things that were sent securely could be ā€œphoned homeā€ by the keyboard app itself. > > It seems, though the evidence is coincidental, that this was one too many cats let out of the bag, and the Chinese communist government of Winnie Xi Pooh acted quickly, with the results (probably understated) in the Tweet quoted above. > > [...] > > The silence has been deafening. People on the internet, especially young, enthusiastic websters, have long been thought unbelievably shallow, in it for whatever they could get out of it, and unwilling to take a stand on something important unless there was profit in it for them. We neednā€™t think that anymore ā€” now we know itā€™s true. > > What can be done? [...] Our government wonā€™t lift a finger even for American citizens or very well known Chinese figures trapped under the thumb of the Disney-characterā€™s evil lookalike, or the Uyghurs, unless thereā€™s some political gain to be had, such as with the tattooed LGBT WNBA player who couldnā€™t be bothered to leave her dope at home during a visit to Russia. > > [...] > > China was afraid that silencing Naomi Wu would make the government there look bad. Letā€™s prove them right.
