For example, black people in the United States are more likely to commit violent crimes than any other ethnic group.

You are being discorteous and angry.

There is at least some truth to these statements. Although in recent years the free and open source movement has attracted people who endorse «woke» ideologies, in the beginning it was spearheaded by white heterosexual males.

Damn autocorrect set to my native language. Thanks for pointing out.

Even if everything was made in compliance this is still sad news.

Wow. This is unfortunate.

Edit: typo.

I was thinking the same. People are downvoting you because Lemmy is filled with left-leaning people.

Am I the only one using Btrfs snapshots like this? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Yes, now I understand.

I know it is not secure. Are you saying that I can roll back to the state before I intentionally messed around without rebooting? Can you elaborate?

I work for a very small company. We do embedded development. They gave me a Windows machine. After a few months I ditched Windows for GNU/Linux and after a couple years the other two fellow developers followed suit.

This is an option, but I really do not need periodic snapshots.

Am I the only one using Btrfs snapshots like this? (feddit.it)
 

I use Btrfs with Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, a derivative distribution of Arch Linux. I use no snapshot management tools such as Snapper or Timeshift. I keep my system minimal and tidy. Everything is boring and predictable. I do not bork my system by mistake, except when something breaks after an odd update, usually once or twice per year. When it happens, I find a workaround (usually something needs to be downgraded) and file a bug report if there is none.

When I need to tinker with something that can possibly go out of control, like installing a new package for a program that I want to try out and I am not sure I will want to keep it, I take a snapshot of my current "pristine" system and boot into it. In the snapshot copy of my system I do all the dirty stuff I want to try out. When I am satisfied with my findings, I reboot into the main subvolume and delete the snapshot.

It seems to me that most people use Btrfs snapshots preemptively in case of unexpected failure. I use snapshots exactly when I know I am going to do something that can lead to instability or «OS rot». Am I the only one using Btrfs snapshots like this?
