They're definitely going to back down. I'm guessing they're going to back down a little (maybe create an opt out for the enterprise customers?) and then claim victory, but we'll see.

You should really be using a pre commit hook to catch secrets. Admittedly it may not have caught this, but manual review is (clearly) not always sufficient.
Basically what it's doing is booting to an alternate OS configuration to do the install. It's way easier to just reboot again rather than tear down the installer environment and go into a normal one. That's basically a reboot in all but name. It's annoying to have to enter your encryption passphrase twice, though.
I feel like a lot of Linux behaviors tell me most Linux people don't encrypt their data, which tbh should not only be the default but should be difficult to opt out of. Apple actually does this one right. Encryption is just the way it works.
They're probably worse, though maybe for other reasons.
Pretty sure you can configure "open as root" in some file managers. Also you can configure a gksudo (or similar) setup.
Really though, that makes me think. The file manager should detect you're opening something you don't have write access to and ask if you want to authenticate as root to open it.
Yeah, car thieves are famously very particular about laws relating to cars.
...Wait a minute... No, it's the opposite of that.
This one's true though.
It's not just today, even his contemporaries kinda sucked and mostly didn't like him.
Here's a Smithsonian article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dna-analysis-reveals-vikings-surprising-genetic-diversity-180975865/
Here's a different one, from... i dunno the site but this roughly reflects my understanding: https://scandinaviafacts.com/were-the-vikings-black/
I think generic testing is pretty suspect but at the same time we have more than just that to suggest this.
Remember, also, that the Vikings (like other people of their era) didn't have an understanding of race in the sense we do today. Surely they had some concept of people having different skin color (they traveled enough) and of family lineage but the pseudoscientific idea of race theory has yet to be invented.
Anyway we can be pretty confident Viking slaves (thralls) were sometimes non-white and we know thralls could buy their freedom and free people could take up viking (the profession) so it stands to reason that there could be some. That plus old burial sites suggest that wasn't just a theory but something that happened. i suspect the culture at the time was even more heterogenous than we would think just from that, though it seems like the white skinned types were still the majority considering modern Scandinavians.
Yeah, like, "how did it get this was"? Well it wasn't easy, it took a lot of hard work.
we're almost certainly looking at overly broad attempts to silence neo-Nazi denialism propaganda and not some sort of intended censorship of the actual history.
And that's probably what the NY Post is actually upset about.
There's a real opportunity here and we can either take it and run or we can let it pass us by.
