I hope you’re right. But in my experience, every country ends up voting for 1 of the 2 largest parties because “that other party will not get even 5%” and the whole population ends up disregarding them. And this is by design.

Honestly, I pray that you’re right and the UK people actually tells the main parties to fuck right off.

Very true. I hope you guys do.

Yes there are many choices, very similar degrees of ultimately the same thing. Same thing here in Canada.

Often it’s the business elite party and the “business elite but pretending to care about the people’s interest party” and that second one is also split so the straight up business elite party has a chance to win. Followed by series of do-nothing statistically insignificant, flavour-text parties just for the impression of diversity. It’s all a little circus to give you the idea the population is in control while being completely out of the equation. It only really serves to dissipate their frustration and make them believe they’ve already done everything they could so we don’t get guillotines in the streets.

Make no mistake Fukuyama is right, this IS the end of history, there will not be any democratically elected changes unless the powerful decide change is in their interest and will maintain or increase their power.

Nothing will change until the power is physically taken away from them and history restarts.

I will have a look, didn’t even know about kernel.org, nobody before you mentioned it.

its mostly developer documentation about programming APIs, but there’s also admin docs, not only at the admin-guide pages.

if the script would get executed whenever I start the machine or go out of standby. Which is not the case, sometimes it just doesn’t happen and I have to do it manually.

what is its current trigger?

if yours is a systemd based system, it’s often recommended to make a service unit file for the script, like this:

[Unit]
Name=restore gamma on resume
WantedBy=sleep.target

[Service]
After=sleep.target
Exec=/usr/local/bin/yourscript.sh

save this in /etc/systemd/system/gammasleep.service (runs services as root), and run systemctl daemon-reload for it to notice the new file. systemctl enable --now to start it and make it autostarted on boot.

I have written this from memory on phone, so it might need corrections, but this is basically it, plus edit the exec line. docs is in man systemd.service, man systemd.unit. man systemd.directives tells you which man page documents a specific key.

you can check logs with journalctl -u gammasleep.service. an f gives you a running log with shorter history.

probably I could have written all of this after you confirmed you did not use a systemd service yet…

It’s all those little inconvenient and unreliable things that keep me from using Linux for anything that goes beyond browsing the web or doing office stuff

oh I felt the same when I first tried to switch to linux on my main desktop. everything was inconvenient without my usual tools and the system was breaking down from time to time. I got burned out, 2 years later I retried and now I haven’t gone back to the windows install for months, and there’s not much problems now. probably I was being clumsy and doing things the wrong way 2 years ago, but it’s hard to tell because I don’t remember.
