  • You already had it. They pretended to have an election and then they slowly dismantle the remains of a pretend democracy while the dictatorship/oligarchy continues. You don’t wave banners or do any big loud moves and there’s minimum resistance. Hell, you can even have a little concentration camps and death squads as a treat.

    Just like there’s been WWIII going on in Europe for years now with minimal resistance outside the immediate warzones.

    And there’s been several country wide invasions in recent decades. A bit of news for a while, but as long as you don’t put up new flags, they’re forgotten about after a few years as businesses get going again.













  • In my experience it’s also very very hard to wear out an SSD. It’s limited, but mostly the limit is very very far away. I treat those warnings as largely fud. Most common failure more seems to be that the controller in the drive dies for some reason and the drive just goes completely dead and never gets detected again. There won’t be warnings from any smart values either.

    Or the drive is just replaced with a bigger faster one, maybe on a different bus/connector or something, and forgotten in a drawer or a box somewhere.

    Naturally it’s still worth trying to enable trim and limit writes if there’s no downside. It can only help in case the drive does get an exceptionally long service life. But I’d say use it while it’s still useful and keep fresh and verified backups.
