Installing Fedora 42 KDE, bios doesn't see my ssd anymore.
Update 2: eventually I decided to just go with it and install MX instead as a final attempt(because I just happened to have that on a stick on my desk) and it worked. I have a functional machine again. Thx for all the input guys!
Update: reinstalling fedora, it’s extremely slow and it’s going beyond 100%. I fkd up didn’t I?
Another case of "normie wants to ditch W11 for Linux and got backed into a corner".
I have used Linux for a while about 20 years ago, however installing it on a modern machine is new to me.
Timeline/Data:
-Recent Dell XPS laptop
-Decrypted the SSD in W11 through shell
-Booted Fedora 42 from a usb (everything works, yay!)
-Installed on the entire disc (as intended, byebye W11)
-Reboot=> Bios doesn't see the SSD anymore, a few reboots later I get a prompt to enter my "code" (not the typical bitlocker screen, I assume my Windows Pin?), before I even get the chance to select the damn prompt it's already gone. After which Bios reset itself to og settings (secure boot and whatnot)
-Bios still doesn't see the SSD.
-Fedora live does see the SSD.
What do I do now?
Thx in advance!

Downloading drm streams
yt-dlp says it's drm locked, and ffmpeg says it's malformed. I tried looking through the megathread but mostly found things to find content, not download it.like this
yt-dlp crew explicitly state they won't touch DRM for good reasons, and that's fair. Companies using it for malicious reasons like paywalling/gatekeeping education are assholes.
I found two places with guides on how to use yt-dlp or ffmpeg:
Stack Overflow
Reddit
Failing that, OBS (you might be able to stream the file through VLC first, idk) is your friend
How to download read-only recordings on Teams
Is there any way to download a read-only recording from a Teams class (without recording the screen)? I have a shared OneDrive of lecture recordings, some can be downloaded and some cannot. Thanks ...Stack Overflow
I tried these methods already. It was this stream link that yt-dlp said was drm locked and ffmpeg aaid was malformed. I'll try the obs method later. Thank you :3
Edit: looking closer I didn't shorten the url. I might try this later.
I'm wondering if the issue is SharePoint, not any DRM. yt-dlp and ffmpeg wouldn't be logged in, causing the problem. Try this:
- Login into sharepoint in your browser
- Get cookies for the page using a plugin, there are a variety of them out there and depends on your browser, but should be easy to find
- Using the file you download, run yt-dlp like this:
yt-dlp --cookies=cookies.txt <url> -S proto:dash

Progressi a rallentatore e momenti più calmi, su New Horizons (Giorni 9-10-11)
Questi giorni, forse complice la mia vita avvitata, sono successe meno cose tra i miei animali crostini, e quindi ora sono qui a fare un solo
Been using cosmic ui on and off since the beta release and it is still pretty beta. Really good at this point honestly and a huge achievement for them but not without some annoying bugs for me.
Just something to consider before jumping. You should be ready to work around some annoyances, deal with some slowness/quirks, and probably be ready to provide feedback and bug reports.
I tried one of the earlier alphas a year ago and it was too rough to daily drive, but I’ve been looking forward to beta. It’s not often we get a completely new DE so it’s very exciting.
I installed it yesterday and have been using it for a few hours. I love how smooth and responsive it feels. You can feel the benefits of being built from scratch in Rust. I wish the UI was more customizable, since I come from KDE and have very strong preferences on desktop layout, but it’s otherwise an improvement on GNOME’s ideas, as far as I’m concerned. It will be very appealing to Mac expats, which is S76’s key audience, I think. It’s a hard sell for Windows or KDE users.
One thing I do love versus KDE is the common sense naming conventions. The files tool is called “Files” and the terminal is called “Terminal” and the text editor is called “Text Editor.” There are no ridiculous, ambiguous names for the default apps.
The built-in tiling features are also absolutely wonderful. They work so well, so fluidly, and so intuitively. I am going to have a hard time giving that up when I switch back to KDE.
However, it still has a lot of rough edges and is not ready for less-technical users right now. Networking is squirrelly, the UI briefly freezes sometimes in very isolated and frustrating ways.
I’m going to continue using it over the weekend, but I am likely going back to Fedora + KDE next week. I like the direction that COSMIC is going, but I need more customization and stability before it can be a daily driver for me.
Fuck Bibi and fuck zionism, but I find speaking about "genetic or genealogical" claim to a land a bit... iffy.
That's the same logic that ethno-nationalists apply.
like this
don't like this
No it's not.
You don't have to wonder in Palestine who the land belongs to. The owners are still alive.
like this
That's a cultural, not a genetic argument.
The problem is the settler colonialist part, not the genetic part. Let's say that some swedish woman moved to palestine to marry her palestinian fiance and they start a family there, integrating with the palestinian community. Would her grandchildren need to leave Palestine, because she's not "pure"?
If the ashkenazi migrants would have learned arabic and peacefully coexisted with the palestinians without starting an ethno-nationalist project, they wouldn't be settler-colonialists.
Yes but then there wouldn't be millions of them.
This is like wondering why there are so many white people in South Africa during Apartheid
don't like this
The crux of the Israeli argument is that they have a high genetic connection to the land which gives them a 'right to return'.
If they use a Fascist talking point for colonization it needs to be addressed and debunked. Period.
If they use a Fascist talking point for colonization it needs to be addressed and debunked.
You're not debunking it by accepting the premise. You're validating it, in fact.
Don't play the fascist's games.They'll drag you down to their level.
If the ashkenazi migrants would have learned arabic and peacefully coexisted with the palestinians without starting an ethno-nationalist project, they wouldn't be settler-colonialists.
Yes that's a good if and you're right that the FACT that Israelis did not come from Palestine ( palestineremembered.com/Acre/M… ) is not the main horrible evil issue of Israel and Palestine today; it is as you said the ethnic cleansing of palestinains and Israel becoming a genocidal ethnostate and a Jewish-supremacy aparthied.
If you click on the link above, you will read in 1947 there was 2% jewish population who were granted 7% of Palestine, then after Nakba of 1948, the zionists massacred and displaced 80% of Palestinains out and took over 70% of their country too.
So the "if" we are dealing with in reality is that if they claimed their ancestors are semitic and have the right to return to their land all while their country heavily bans DNA testings, and bans actual Palestinains whom all their ancestors were born there from coming back until this day, then give a jewish guy from Poland or anywhere in the world the right to come to Palestine and claim dual citizenship and land from a Palestinian family who lived there for hundrends of years before their ethnostate was even created.
So to counter this zionist narrative, we are willing to test it and expose it, too. No where here did we make it facist saying "you did not come from here, get out." That is not our argument. Our argument exposes another zionist bs justification for their genocidal ethnic cleansing which was made up through unverifible untestable bs religious beliefs "God promised us all this land 3000 years ago which had no people, and it is for people without land ." when history and DNA testings alone expose it to be the BS Zionist narrative that it is made up to hide its actual colonist land grabing project truth
Jewish Owned Land as of 1947 - Palestine Remembered
As of 1947, Jews owned 7% of Palestine's lands, & after the 1948 war 80% of the Palestinian people were DISPOSSESSED of their homes, farms, & businesses. Detailed accounting of Jewish land purchase in Palestine.www.palestineremembered.com
No where here did we make it facist saying "you did not come from here, get out." That is not our argument.
I disagree. I think that's a core assumend premise of the video. Otherwise, the statement that Bibi's from Poland doesn't make any coherent sense as an argument.
I disagree with the complete "blood and soil" premise that zionism is based on. But I critisize bs logic, no matter which camp it stated.
I understand you, and even the two-state solution itself does not ask for Israelis to go back where they came from no. The hope is for them to live in peace side by side, and stop the genocidal jewish-supremacy.
I think that's a core assumend premise of the video. Otherwise, the statement that Bibi's from Poland doesn't make any coherent sense.
Bro, it does make coherent sense; read my previous comment. It is to expose the Zionist bs narrative that it's their ancestors land 3000 yrs ago promised by god. And here where I disagree with you that you refuse to scoop low to their bs logic to prove it wrong. I'm willing to do that.
I really wish you have a good day. I really think we agree on more than what we disgree.
Small correction, not relevant to the other commenter.
The two-state solution still implies an apartheid structure and in fact is exactly what has led to what we are witnessing today. A single state, where all people enjoy equal rights; where Palestinians are represented in the state, allowed to return to their homeland, and receive reparations; should be what we are looking towards as the most stable end to this violence. There will not be extended peace as long as there is land reserved to remain as a zionist ethnostate.

everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant
No they don't.
You're not the only one with functioning eyes.
I don't even remember seeing a person actually arguing China is in any way communist. Just like people don't argue that NK is a democracy despite them calling themselves one.
Holy shit you can't be that childish.
Okay, let's go with "socialist" then because you're so childish that you're pretending like the form of socialism China is known to claim to be isn't communism.
If you have to pretend to be that stupid, then perhaps you're not in a good position, argument-wise.
China is a unitary communist state led by the CCP that self-designates as a socialist state.
All I've said is that in my personal experience visiting China this socialist state feels more capitalist than many other countries due to the insane amount of consumerism and mass consumption.
This is due to reform and opening up in 1978 and a burgeoning middle class with significant purchasing power.
I'm not belittling China with these facts, I'm merely observing what has happened.
And who, besides the CCP, is arguing that China isn't just as capitalist as other large market economy countries despite calling itself socialist?
Moving topics/contexts from one community to another
At Piefed office hours, rimu@piefed.social and I got to talking about what's next for Piefed and the Threadiverse WG.
One of those things is moving stuff between communities (or in bbs parlance: moving topics between categories/forums).
Rimu suggested we use the already-existing as:Move activity, sent by the community (a group actor), with origin and target set, and with object being the post id itself.
I suggested we update this to use the resolvable context collection as object instead, which Piefed has supported since v1.2.
That should be enough to get a proof-of-concept implementation going between Piefed and NodeBB... a question remained as to whether this should be Announce(Move(Object)) or simply Move(Object).
Argument for former was that it was similar verbiage to other 1b12 actions.
Argument for the latter was that this is merely 1b12 adjacent and needn't follow prior art.
We'll likely put together an FEP for this.

Also Stalin wanted to pretend he was as good friends with Lenin as Trotsky was, OP's painting is a massive manifestation of Stalin's historical revisionism. Quite ironic to make this text+image with such an obvious example of historical revisionism.
don't like this
The USSR was never imperialist, that's really a poor analysis based on the economy of the USSR. It didn't run an extractionary economy based on export of capital, nor was it under the control of financial capital.
Secondly, Stalin was better friends with Lenin than Trotsky. This isn't historical revisionism, Trotsky retained his Menshevik roots throughout his life in his style of theory and practice, while Stalin was a Bolshevik from the beginning and worked with Lenin directly for a longer time. The idea that Lenin disliked Stalin mostly comes from a letter demanding Stalin's resignation over the treatment of Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin's wife, for which Stalin tried to resign but was rejected.
Third, the USSR wasn't a monarchy. Even if Lenin personally liked Trotksy more, Stalin was voted in. Are you suggesting that the Soviet Union should have been a monarchy? Moreover, Trotsky's plan of assaulting the peasantry and hoping Europe would have a revolution and save the USSR from the backlash would have been suicide. Trotsky's Permanent Revolution depended on the peasantry being incapable of long-term alliance, but we know from history that that was obviously false and socialism was solidifed in the USSR.
Stalin was no saint, not everything he did was good, but at the same time not everything he did was bad, either. The CPC maintains that he was "70% good, 30% bad," upholding him as legitimate but recognizing missteps. Most communist orgs hold a similar line. Overall, he was comparatively much better than contemporaries like Churchill, despite being remembered as far worse by liberal historians.

don't like this
No, this is absurd. During the first 3 decades of the USSR's existence, ie the core years with Stalin as head of state, life expectancy over doubled from the mid-30s to the low-70s, housing was free or up to ~4% of incomes, education and healthcare were free and high quality, there was sweeping democratization, and society went from what was known as a "feudal backwater" with living standards common to the 1500s to a developed country that even competed with the US Empire in the space race. Socialism was dramatically better than Tsarism and modern capitalism, and the vast majority that lived in it want it back.
The Nazis, on the other hand, instituted industrialized mass-murder, solidified capitalist rule, killed off communists, labor organizers, disabled people, queer people, and more, as well as the mass slaughtering of Jewish peoples, slavic peoples, and more. What you are doing is Holocaust trivialization. I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds.

Pretty decent overview, especially for the actual moments of the October Revolution, but I don't see how that's relevant to the USSR's history and economic model following the revolution, the split of Trotsky from his temporary adherance to Marxism-Leninism back into petite-bourgeois menshevism, or Stalin's merits/demerits.

good friends with Lenin as Trotsky was
Tell me you've never read Lenin without telling me
Trotsky arrived, and this scoundrel at once ganged up with the Right wing [...]What a swine this Trotsky is: Left phrases, and a bloc with the Right.
This is an instance of high-flown phraseology with which Trotsky always justifies opportunism... The phrase-bandying Trotsky has completely lost his bearings on a simple issue.
Trotsky has never yet held a firm opinion on any important question of Marxism. He always contrives to worm his way into the cracks of any given difference of opinion, and desert one side for the other.
Trotsky behaves like a despicable careerist and factionalist of the Ryazanov-and-co type. Either equality on the editorial board, subordination to the central committee and no one’s transfer to Paris except Trotsky’s (the scoundrel, he wants to ‘fix up’ the whole rascally crew of ‘Pravda’ at our expense!) – or a break with this swindler and an exposure of him in the CO. He pays lip-service to the Party and behaves worse than any other of the factionalists.
This is just a random sample, if you want more I can go on, for as long as you like.

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians
Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.
Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.
The decision to cut off Unit 8200’s ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.
In a joint investigation with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, the Guardian revealed how Microsoft and Unit 8200 had worked together on a plan to move large volumes of sensitive intelligence material into Azure.
The project began after a meeting in 2021 between Microsoft’s chief executive, Satya Nadella, and the unit’s then commander, Yossi Sariel.

Hegseth abruptly summons hundreds of top military commanders to a meeting in Virginia next week
In May, Hegseth ordered that the military cut 20% of its four-star general officers, directed an additional 10% cut from all general and flag officers across the force, and told the National Guard to shed 20% of its top positions.
In February, Hegseth fired Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, and Gen. James Slife, the Air Force's second highest officer, without explanation. He also relieved the military's top lawyers.
Since then, Hegseth has fired other military leaders without saying why. Most recently it was a general who led a military intelligence agency whose initial assessment of U.S. damage to Iranian nuclear sites in American strikes angered President Donald Trump.

Adding/removing "pinned statuses" to an actor
Mastodon has a concept called "featured statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor.
docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/act…
It wasn't readily know how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info :smiley:
- The actor itself will issue an
Addactivity targeting the collection with the status inobject. - This activity is sent to all followers of the actor.
- No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers.
- A
Removeis sent when a pinned post is unpinned.
This is what the Add looks like:
{
"@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"type": "Add",
"actor": "https://example.org/users/testUser",
"target": "https://example.org/users/testUser/collections/featured",
"object": "https://example.org/users/testUser/statuses/115266412340579560"
}The corresponding
Remove is identical except for type, which is of course, Remove.ActivityPub - Mastodon documentation

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians
Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.
Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.
The decision to cut off Unit 8200’s ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.

Si tratta di una sentenza senza precedenti nella storia della Quinta Repubblica, che pone per la prima volta un ex capo di Stato francese a rischio di una lunga detenzione.

And by that I'm just saying he has to check his settings before enabling Secure boot. Especially on linux.

My bet is there could be some bitlocker partition somewhere still alive. Or your bios assuming a bitlocker encrypted partition. Maybe put some of the bios security features down for testing.
