  • Naja, hat ja keiner behauptet das das eine kluge Politik ist. Aber Betrug ist Betrug und sollte in einem Rechtsstaat bekämpft werden. Ist ja auch eine Frage der Demokratie, wenn parlamentarische mehrheiten, die in freien und fairen Wahlen gewählt werden, Gesetze verabschieden und dann eine Folgeregierung die nicht die Mehrheiten hat diese Gesetze rückgängig zu machen sie stattdessen missachtet … nicht so toll oder?



  • Naja, Sozialmissbrauch bei alleinstehenden langzeitarbeitslosen in Neapel klingt für mich jetzt nicht so furchtbar unglaubwürdig. Ist halt ein Problem wenn sich Korruption, organisierte Kriminalität und Armut in einer Region treffen. Das hat jetzt nichts mit Menschen in Schubladen stecken zu tun, letztlich versucht halt jeder das beste für sich unter den jeweiligen Umständen herauszuholen.

    Und das Politiker Probleme und gar Rechtsbruch aus wahltaktischen Gründen ignorieren glaub ich auch gerne. Das hat auch nix mit rechts oder links zu tun. Der eine ist halt auf dem Auge blind der andere auf dem anderen. Deswegen ist ja der offene Diskurs im Parlament und auf der Straße so wichtig in der demokratie, die Wahrheit liegt halt oft in der Mitte.


  • Indeed, bitch has some other connotations, some women refer or get referred to as a bitch if they are ill tempered for example. Hure, in German, means one and only one thing. It’s also not exactly a playful way to refer to sex workers and usually not used to refer to them to their face, it’s what only a total asshole would call a heroin addicted sex worker that has lost all self respect and is dead inside to their face.

    It’s quite bad, I’m not aware of an equivalent insult in the English language. Son of a whore doesn’t quite cut it as even whore is quite a tame insult as it also gets applied to merely “sluttish” women.


  • Well the fact that you don’t understand the issue is part of it. See there are several ways disks can be partitioned and several ways a bios can go about finding kernels to boot on said disks, all of this applies to windows as well btw.

    1. Bios legacy + MBR partitioned with a bootloader written into the first 512 bytes of a disk and the bios being directed to that disk. This is the old way of doing it.
    2. UEFI + GPT partition scheme. Here you have one or more partition marked as bios+uefi, formatted in fat32, that the bios will comb for boot entries. It’s the modern way of doing this.

    What you have is probably a mix of the two. It’s likely that one of your linux installs partitioned your disk as GPT while your your system still boots in bios legacy. The installer is now getting mixed signals, one one hand the bios is detected as legacy mode, on the other it’s looking at a GPT partition table. Now technically you probably could write the bootloader just like in option 1., but if you ever change your bios to uefi mode, which is required for modern operating systems like windows you would end up with an non bootable system. And not just in a “oopsie, I need to boot a rescue disk and fix this”-kind of way but a “we need to nuke the entire partition table and start over”-kind of way.

    So what the Suse installer is telling you is that you really should use a /boot partition if installing on a GPT partition table.

    Btw if you check the correct option at install time(the one about using the entire harddrive) it should automatically create a MBR partitioned disk for you which avoids this issue as it’s not a ungodly mix of 1. and 2.

    This error isn’t a bug, it’s a feature pointing out a serious problem with your machines setup(the one below the OS level). Yes you can probably ignore it, as other distros might or might not, but it’s generally not a good idea. SuSE has a couple of these hang ups since it has an enterprise background and takes some things more serious than other distros. For example having closed ports for printers in the active on default firewall being one stellar example of this. It cause no end of issues for people struggling to setup their printers, that being said it is a security issue and opensuse decided it wasn’t going to sacrifice security of every system because some people want to use a printer.


  • You booted in bios legacy mode and tried to install to a gpt formatted disk without a dedicated /boot partition would be my guess.

    It’s messed up, probably a bios setting related to uefi. Aeon is still in beta and doesn’t handle edge cases that well.

    As for your second issue sounds like a waylaid issue with switching resolutions, usually simply relogging fixes that.

    You make it sound as if these are distribution issues, these are either weird bios settings or post install issues with a very recent compositor version. Do you think opensuse ships its own drivers or window managers?



  • Nope, it doesn’t. It always requires human assistance or random hardware failure. It’s either the user, the distro, package maintainer or upstream fucking up.

    Personally I blame half on users for picking the wrong distro(not suited for beginners) and half on the linux community giving poor advice(use the terminal). Not everyone has the time or inclination to become a power user and if people wouldn’t be so thickheaded and recommending the same problematic distros over and over to these people it wouldn’t be such a mess.

    I have a 80 year old neighbour whose old windows laptop was a mess and who was open to trying a new OS(because he couldn’t operate windows either anyway). I setup a MicroOS system for him, put a taskbar extension on it and showed him how to install software from gnome-software(which only has flatpaks). ZERO problems in half a year. He doesn’t have to do anything nor learn anything. He happily installed some card games, reads the few websites he follows and that’s it.
