The article's framing is kinda orientalist. I think the point is to whitewash the mass murder by the US, by making it seem less severe. Basically no mention of civilian suffering. And reducing the entire nation to "Houthis". But if you keep that in mind, it's a pretty interesting article.

    That's part of the Dash to Dock extension I think. Go to the Dash to Dock settings in the Extensions app. There should be settings in one of the tabs for notification icons/badges or something similar.

    does emacs have an integrated terminal view inside it? Seems like maybe it's just creating a shell for you to use inside the editor or something? Either way, "bash --login" is just a login shell which I think basically just acts like if you had just logged in instead of inheriting most stuff from whatever process launched it. It in't "logging in" like some user account or something. Unlikely that it's something nefarious. At worst, it's just usual buggy linux software interacting in weird ways.

    Looking in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/main.c?h=v6.5-rc5 there's a function setup_command_line that seems to set up the built-in command line which is called after setup_boot_config

    ok idk what that all was. Here's something more interesting:

    In arch/x86/kernel/setup.c it says /* append boot loader cmdline to builtin */. I think that suggests that the builtin comes first. And I assume that the code that queries the command line scans left to right and selects the first instance of an option because there doesn't seem to be anywhere that "loads" args into some kind of structure.

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c?h=v6.5-rc5#n972

    #ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
    #ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
    	strscpy(boot_command_line, builtin_cmdline, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
    #else
    	if (builtin_cmdline[0]) {
    		/* append boot loader cmdline to builtin */
    		strlcat(builtin_cmdline, " ", COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
    		strlcat(builtin_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
    		strscpy(boot_command_line, builtin_cmdline, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
    	}
    #endif
    #endif
    

    I guess the best thing to do would be to run linux in QEMU with the EFI system that's provided by a third party thing and test it out.

    lmao they put some ridiculous propaganda in there too, "they require ammo mostly produced by Russia, and it's supporters, China, and North Korea". They probably do produce that ammo, but calling them "it's supporters" is kinda 🙄

    Definitely interesting to see inside an ammunition factory though.
