bought one of the new snapdragon x elite laptops refurbished recently. obviously it came with windows 11 and i had to briefly use it to shrink the boot partition and disable bitlocker so i could install the ubuntu concept image on it.
The amount of advertising i was subjected to in that time was infuriating. not to mention the frankly arduous setup wizard.
Even with the slight bugginess of a "concept image" OS, the user experience is SOOOO much better than shitty horrible windows.

The song features a blend of rock and funk elements, showcasing the band's signature sound. As the title track from their album "Californication," it has become one of their most iconic songs.
Lyrics:
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
An' little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams, it's Californication
It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the east at least it settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin or is that war you're waging?
Firstborn unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication
Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station to Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody's been there and I don't mean no vacation
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test but this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

As a standout track from the album "All The Little Lights," it has resonated with listeners around the world, becoming a defining moment in his career.
Lyrics:
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Worked for almost 20 years in critical infrastructure (electric generation). We often had employees that had to go to China for work and business.
IT issued them burner phones and burner laptops. They were not allowed to use their normal business owned devices and were encouraged not to bring their personal devices when away on business.

Featured in "The Dome: Summer 2013," it showcases OneRepublic's signature sound and energetic vibe.
Lyrics:
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard

Oh, I cannot explain, every time, it's the same
Oh, I feel that it's real, take my heart
I've been lonely too long, oh, I can't be so strong
Take the chance for romance, take my heart
I need you so
There's no time I'll ever go
Cheri, cheri lady
Goin' through a motion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
Living in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
I get up, I get down, all my world turns around
Who is right? Who was wrong? I don't know
I've got pain in my heart, got a love in my soul
Easy come, but I think easy go
I need you so
All the times I move so slow
Cheri, cheri lady
Goin' through a motion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
Living in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
Cheri, cheri lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri, cheri lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me "baby"
I'll be yours
Cheri, cheri lady

Lyrics:
You know I'm impatient
So why would you leave me waiting outside the station?
When it was like minus 4 degrees
And I get what you're saying
I just really don't want to hear it right now
Can you shut up for like once in your life?
Listen to me
I took your nice words of advice about
How you think I'm gonna die
Lucky if I turned 33
Okay, so yeah, I smoke like a chimney
I'm not skinny and I pull a Britney
Every other week
But cut me some slack
Who do you want me to be?
'Cause I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big mouth
I want to be me
Is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry
Unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect
'Til I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you
And you hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
It's taking you ages
You still don't get the hint
I'm not asking for pages
But one text or two would be nice
And please, don't pull those faces
When I've been out working my arse off all day
It's just one bottle of wine or two
But hey, you can't even talk
You smoke weed just to help you sleep
Then why you're out getting stoned at 4 o'clock
And then you come home to me
And don't say hello
'Cause I got high again
And forgot to fold my clothes
'Cause I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big mouth
I want to be me
Is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry
Unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect
'Til I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you
And you hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
And I'm too messy
And then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job"
And you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect
'Til I open my big mouth
I want to be me
Is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever
And then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry
Unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect
'Til I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you
And you hate the fucking lot

What if the people in militaries want to keep their jobs so they blow up explosives that do not hurt anyone like a fireworks show and destroy buildings that they want to replace with new buildings at tax payer expense
What if we could have officially had a world without wars between countries decades ago but they wanted to have an excuse to tax people for wars to ensure a 40 hour work week for property tax payers

Do you not get it yet? Jackbooted big-government thugs are deliberately doing terrible things, in order to provoke Americans to protest, and then they'll call the protests "insurrection" and use it as an excuse to crack down and suspend freedom.

No 2 ways about it, this is a big device. It has a 17 inch screen, 16:10. It weighs 2.8 kilos, and it's 38 cm wide, 27 cm deep, and 2.7 cm thick.
The chassis is made of aluminium and has literally no flex, no bend, no creaking. It also resists fingerprints really well, thanks to a soft touch coating on the inside of the laptop.
You're free to open it, and you can access and replace the 2 M.2 SSD slots, the RAM, the wireless card, and the battery as well, which is screwed in and not glued.
The CPU is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. All models come with at least 16 gigs of RAM, and an RTX 3070Ti with 8Gigs of vRAM. You also get 250 gigs of PCIe3 SSD, and Wifi 6 + BLuetooth 5.2.
It can go up to 64 Gigs of 4800 Mhz RAM, up to 4TB of PCIe 4 storage, and, either an RTX 3080, or a 3080Ti. And all cards run at their maximum Total Graphics Power allowed by Nvidia,. You also get a 99Wh battery.
On geekbench 6, it gave me scores of 2121 in single core, and 10219 in multi core.
I ran the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark, at high settings, at the native resolution of 2560x1600, and it got me an average of 101 FPS. When cranking all the settings to the max, still at the native resolution, it managed to reach 97 FPS. At 1080p highest details, the Stellaris 17 got 110FPS.
It also gave me an idea about thermals, at 75 °C under heavy load, which isn't bad at all.
With its 99Wh battery, running in Nvidia on demand mode, with the display at 50% brightness, wifi being used to play youtube videos in a loop in Firefox, the laptop lasted for 8 hours and 12 minutes.
The keyboard uses Cherry MX ultra low profile switches. The key travel is really good, at 1.8 mm, and the click happens at 0.8 mm. Some of the keys aren't using mechanical switches, notably the function keys and the whole numpad, they're using membrane switches instead.
The touchpad is humongous. It's also thankfully centered, and it's covered in glass, so it's really smooth. It feels very precise, and using it with tap to click feels great.
It's a diveboard mechanism, so obviously you can't click everywhere on it, it has to be in the bottom half of the touchpad, and the sound it makes is satisfying and doesn't rattle.
The dislay 16:10, 17 inches, and it goes up to 240hz refresh rate. It is G Sync compatible, to avoid any screen tearing issues. It's decently bright, at 380 nits, and it has full sRGB coverage.
In terms of ports, on the left, you get the usual Kensington Lock, a USB-A 3.2 Gen2x1 port, a microphone input, and a headphone jack. On the right, you get an SD card reader, and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports. And on the back, you have a port for the Aquaris external watercooling solution, a USB-C 3.2 Gen2x1 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a Gigabit ethernet port, and a barrel jack.
Let's finish with the mic, speakers and webcam. The microphone is decent, but nothing to write home about. You'll want to run it at about 25% volume. The speakers get really loud, but they don't distort or sound tinny at all, they have a good amount of bass.
As per the webcam, well it's 1080p, and it can produce good results with decent lighting, but it's still a bit grainy even in natural light. It's just a small notch above the usual potato cam.

"Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi is a heartfelt ballad that explores themes of love and loss. With its emotional lyrics and Capaldi's powerful vocals, the song resonates deeply with listeners, capturing the pain of longing for someone who is no longer present. It has become a defining track in his career, showcasing his talent for conveying raw emotion.
Lyrics:
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
somebody to know
somebody to have
somebody to hold
It’s easy to say
but it’s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now I need somebody to know
somebody to heal
somebody to have
just to know how it feels
It’s easy to say
but it’s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around
For now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
But now the day bleeds, into nightfall
and you’re not here, to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

Featured in "Black Panther: The Album," the song combines Kendrick's sharp lyricism with SZA's soulful vocals, creating a dynamic and uplifting anthem that resonates with themes of empowerment and unity.
Lyrics:
Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you? (Haunt)
I know the feeling haunt you (haunt)
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
Tell me what you gon' do to me
Confrontation ain't nothin' new to me
You can bring a bullet, bring a sword, bring a morgue
But you can't bring the truth to me
- you and all your expectations
I don't even want your congratulations
I recognize your false confidence
And calculated promises all in your conversation
I hate people that feel entitled
Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you
Oh, you important? You the moral to the story, you endorsing?
Motherf-, I don't even like you
Corrupt a man's heart with a gift
That's how you find out who you dealin' with
A small percentage, who I'm building with
I want the credit if I'm losing, or I'm winning
On my momma, that's the realest sh-
Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you? (Haunt)
I know the feeling haunt you (haunt)
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
Skin covered in ego
Get to talkin', I get involved
Like a rebound, got no end game
Got no ways out, got to stay down
It's the way that you making me feel
Like nobody ever loved me like you do, you do
You kinda feel like you're tryna get away from me
If you do, I won't move
I ain't just cry for no reason (reason)
I ain't just pray for no reason (reason)
I give thanks for the days, for the hours
And another way, another life breathing
I did it all 'cause it feel good
I wouldn't do it at all if it feel bad
Better live your life
We were running out of time
Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you? (Haunt)
I know the feeling haunt you (haunt)
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
All the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer
All the stars are closer

Demokrasi dinamiklerinin senkronizasyonu sorunu
RECEP MARAŞLI
Üniversite öğrencileri Saraçhane direnişinde…
Son üç ay içerisinde Türkiye’de belki de mevcut rejimin kaderini değiştirecek iki önemli gelişme yaşandı. Ve demokrasi mücadelesi tarihimizde çoğu kez rastladığımız gibi bu vektörler yan yana değil birbiriyle kesişerek ilerleme eğilimi gösterdi.
Bunlardan biri, MHP lideri Devlet Bahçeli’nin çağrısıyla yeniden gündemleşen Kürt sorununun barışçıl çözüm süreci; diğeri ise, CHP’nin kazanma ihtimali en yüksek görülen müstakbel Cumhurbaşkanı adayı ve İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanı Ekrem İmamoğlu’nun bir sürü yolsuzluk ve teröre destek gibi suçlamalarla tutuklanmasıydı.
Birbirine taban tabana zıt olan bu iki hamle Erdoğan ekibinin gerçekte ne yapmak istediğini sorduruyor. Bir yandan sürekli şeytanlaştırılan HDP/DEM parti geleneği ve “değişmez düşman” olan Kürt ulusal demokratik hareketiyle belli belirsiz de olsa bir barış kapısı aralarken; Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurucu ana muhalefet partisine, onun cumhurbaşkanı adayına ve ülkenin en büyük metropolüne girişilen bu darbe bir arada nasıl yorumlanabilir?
Akla gelen ilk şey, bu saldırı karşısında Kürt özgürlük hareketini ve bağlaşığı olan demokrasi güçlerinin atıl kalmasını sağlamak gibi bir planın düşünülmüş olabileceğidir. Kürt ulusal muhalefeti bir çözüm fırsatı ortaya çıkmışken bunu heba etmek istemeyecek, iktidara karşı bir tepki vermekten kaçınacak, böylece hem mevcut, hem de olası ittifaklar kırılmış olacaktı.
Benim görüşüm, Erdoğan rejiminin ne pahasına olursa olsun siyasi iktidarını korumaya odaklı olmakla birlikte; bu aşamada yaptığı hamlelerin koordineden uzak, stratejik bir akıldan yoksun olarak can havliyle yapıldığı; belki de çeşitli ekipler tarafından kotarılan bu koordinasyonsuz hamlelerin birbirini anlamsız hale getirdiğidir.
İktidar erkinde açıkça çok başlılık ve telaş gözleniyor: bu telaş öyle veya böyle iktidarlarının sonuna geldiği ve eğer iktidar değişirse şimdiye kadarki devasa kazanımların nasıl korunacağı gibi yakıcı sorunlardan kaynaklanıyor.
İktidarın iki hamlesinin koordinesiz olabileceğine dair düşüncemi destekleyen şey, Öcalan’a yapılan çağrının Devlet Bahçeli’den gelmesidir. Bu hamle asıl olarak Ortadoğu’da yeni ve Türkiye açısından tehlikeli statükolar oluşurken Kürt dinamiğini yanına alarak bir duruş göstermeyi temel alıyor. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti devleti açısından uluslararası boyutu olan stratejik bir varlık sorunu olarak gözüküyor. Böyle bir süreçte yıllarca baş düşman bellenmiş PKK hareketiyle bir uzlaşma ararken; devletin kurucu partisi ve her koşulda sadık Türk milliyetçisi CHP kitlesini küstürüp dışlamak, düşmanlaştırmak herhalde bu akılla ters bir durum olurdu.
İmamoğlu operasyonu ise belli ki Bahçeli tasarımının amaç ve hedeflerinden tamamen uzakta, sadece Erdoğan’ın sonraki başkanlık seçimlerindeki en güçlü adayını tasfiye etmeye, CHP’ye karşı sindirme ve güç gösterisine yönelik kısa ve orta vadeyle düşünülmüş bir hamle. Eğer illa bir koordineden bahsedeceksek, bunun “çözüm süreci”ni özellikle baltalamak için kotarılmış bir kışkırtma olduğunu söylemek daha anlamlı olur. Belki de bir tarafın kurmayları Behçeli projesini sadece muhalefet güçlerinin ittifaklarını parçalamak için bir fırsat olarak gördüler. Göremedikleri şey ise bunun CHP kitlesini ayaklandıran bir toplumsal dinamizme yol açmasıydı.
Bir başka ihtimal de her iki hamlenin de muhalefeti, sonraki dönem için belli pazarlıklara zorlamak amacıyla imal edilen araçlar olması; Birisi havuç, diğeri sopa olarak!..
Demokrasi güçlerinin önceliği; haklar mı çıkarlar mı?
Türkiye’de çok kolay bulunmasa da eksiği gediği çok fazla da olsa yine de en umutsuz zamanlarda ortaya çıkan bir demokrasi dinamizminin var olduğu, 19 Mart operasyonları sonrasında İstanbul Saraçhane’de başlayıp haftalarca süren, ülkenin pek çok yerine yayılan kitlesel protesto gösterilerinde bir kez daha görüldü. Bunu 2013’de patlak veren “Gezi protestoları” dönemindeki coşkuyla kıyaslayabiliriz. Bu kez de üniversite gençliğinin öncülüğü ile başladı ve ama sadece bununla kalmayıp yerinden çok zor kalkan CHP kitlesinin de harekete geçmesini sağladı. CHP yönetiminin geleneksel olarak kitle hareketlerinden kaçınma ve onları barajlama yerine bu kez onları dikkate almak zorunda kalması, bu sürecin ayırt edici özelliklerinden biri oldu.
Değerli felsefecilerimizden İoanna Kuçuradi, “hak” ile “çıkar” arasında fark olduğuna dikkat çeker: “Çıkar, hakkımızdan biraz fazlasıdır; bu da başkasının hakkını ihlal edebilen bir şeydir.” Dolayısıyla “hak çatışması” olmaz ama “çıkar çatışması” çok görülür… Buradan hareketle can alıcı sorumuz şudur: Demokrasi talep eden gruplar gerçekten haklarını mı savunuyorlar, yoksa çıkarlarını mı? Sadece kendi “hak”larını mı savunuyorlar yoksa diğerlerinin haklarına da saygılılar mı?
Hak, özgürlük, demokrasi talebiyle eyleme geçen kitleler homojen değildir. Aralarında çıkar ve talepleri birbirinden farklı sınıflar, tabakalar, çıkar grupları, hatta birbirleriyle çatışmalı mağdur gruplar da bulunabilir. Demokrasi güçleri sadece egemen otorite ile mücadele etmekle kalmaz, kendine dinamizm veren grupların aralarındaki iyi veya kötü ilişkilerle de biçimlenir. Bundandır ki merkezi otorite muhalif katmanlar arasındaki çelişkileri kışkırtmaktan; birbirine karşı kullanmaktan geri durmaz.
Demokrasi talep eden gruplar da diğerlerinin gücünden yararlanırken, kendi önceliklerini dayatmaya; daha güçsüz grupları kendilerine tabi kılmaya eğilimli olabilirler. Bir fizik kuralı olarak daha büyük kütle dinamizminin daha küçükleri kendine çekmesi, sosyal mücadeleler için de geçerlidir.
Saraçhane gösterileri sürecinde olan da buydu; CHP kitlesi kendilerine yapılan bu haksızlığa karşı korku duvarını aşıp sokağa çıkınca, daha önce hep alanda olan ve hak arayan gruplarla aralarına bir sınır çekme ihtiyacı da hasıl oldu. Çünkü onlar kendilerine haksızlık yapılmasına alışmamışlardı; kendileri diğerleri gibi değildi, memleketin gerçek efendisi idiler; her zaman itilip kakılmış olanlarla bir arada olmamalıydılar! Böylesi bir duyguyla koşullanan en azından bir bölüm Saraçhane kitlesi, Kürt ulusal hareketi başta olmak üzere rejimin hedefindeki diğer bütün mağdur grupları dışlamakta beis görmediler. İşin ilginç yanı, bunu yaptıktan sonra da “onlar niye bizi desteklemiyor, o halde iktidar yanlısılar!” diye bu durumdan ikinci bir çıkar sağlamayı da ihmal etmemeleri…
DEM parti ve bileşenleri, bir yandan ortada henüz somut bir şey olmasa da bir çözüm süreci ihtimalinin ortaya çıkmış olma şansını heba etmemek; bir yandan da sürekli mücadelesini verdikleri ve hep mağduru oldukları bir konuda ana muhalefet akımıyla da ilkesel bir dayanışma göstermek ikilemindeydi. Bıçak sırtı bir çizgide, üstelik onlarca kez kazandıkları belediye başkanları tutuklanıp kayyum atanırken kendileriyle hiçbir dayanışma yapılmamış olmasına rağmen soğukkanlı bir duruş göstermeye çalıştılar diyebilirim.
Saraçhane gösterileri Türkiye’deki demokrasi güçlerinin ortak örgütlenme, ortak program altında, güç birliği yapamadıkları gibi güçlerini ve eylemlerini senkronize edemedikleri bir pratik daha oldu. Büyük enerjilerin, aynı anda, aynı hedefe yöneltilememesinden ötürü hep otoriter rejimlerin kazançlı çıktığı açık. Hâlbuki bilinçli, sağduyulu önderlikler despot rejimleri değişime zorlayabileceği, dengesini bozabileceği anları görerek o ‘an’larda eylem odaklarını buraya yönlendirebilir. Rejimin kırılmaya uğramasıyla daha dezavantajlı grupların kendilerine bir demokrasi ve siyasi manevra açılabileceğini görmeleri önemlidir.
‘Türkiye’nin demokrasisinden bize ne?’
Türkiye’nin metropollerinde, sahil kentlerinde yoğunlaşan; modernist, seküler kesimlerin sıkı sıkıya sarıldıkları Türklük şovenizmi ve Kemalist elitizmin, kendilerinden daha ilerici, devrimci, demokratik taleplerin savunucusu olan Kürt ulusal hareketi ve sosyalistleri dışladıkça (bu konuda demokrat ve özgürlükçü bir yapıya sahip olmadıkça) otokrat siyasal İslamcı iktidara karşı başarı şansları olamayacağını anlamaları zor görünüyor. Demokrasi mücadelesinin temel sorunlarından biri budur.
“Temel hak ve özgürlükler istiyoruz ama Kürtler hariç!” diyerek bir çıkış yolu bulunamayacağı açık. Bu dışlayıcı kibir, bu tarafta da yankısını buluyor; Türkiye’de gerçek bir demokrasi mücadelesi verilemeyeceği ve gerçek bir partner bulunamayacağı inancını kökleştiriyor, güvensizliği derinleştiriyor.
Bu saflarda tepki gösterilmekte haklı ama strateji ve taktik ilke haline getirmekte ise yanlış bir yönelim var. Son yıllarda Türkiye’de demokrasi mücadelesine “bizi ne ilgilendirir?” diyerek karşı çıkan ve bunu çok daha radikal siyasi istemlere sahip olmak adına savunan kadrolar artıyor. Bunlara göre, Kürdistan ulusal kurtuluş mücadelesinin Türkiye’deki demokrasi mücadelesiyle hiçbir ilgisi olamaz; “onların demokrasisinden bize ne!” deniyor. Basitçe bu “izolasyoncu” olmayı “bağımsızlıkçılık” sanan milliyetçi bir anlayıştan kaynaklanır… Eğer Türkiye’nin demokrasi ya da diktatörlük olup olmaması bizi ilgilendirmiyorsa, mantık olarak onun işgalci, sömürgeci olması da bizi ilgilendirmez demektir. Sömürgeci, işgalci, diktatör, vs. bir nitelik bizi ilgilendirmiyorsa neden bu niteliği taşıyanla mücadele ediyoruz ki!?
Kürdistan ulusal kurtuluş mücadelesi önüne ister bağımsızlığı, ister özerkliği isterse sadece dil ve kültürel hakların tanınması hedeflerini koysun, giriştiği her mücadele ister istemez onu genel anlamda demokrasi mücadelesinin aktif bir parçası haline getirir. Bunu anlamayan kişi ve hareketler kendi iddialarına yabancılaşmış demektir.
Kürdistan diyelim ki bağımsız olduğunda ülkesinin sınırlarını kapatıp, toprağını alarak gökyüzüne yükselecek değildir. Yine bu coğrafyada, bir zamanlar kendileriyle ölümüne savaştığı devletlerle, toplumlarla yan yana -en azından komşu- olarak yaşayacaktır. Ticaret yollarını, havayı hatta suları bile kullanmak için komşularıyla iyi geçinmek, onlarla anlaşmak, ortak bir çözüm bulmak zorunda olacaktır. Bu ülkelerde demokratik, insan haklarına, özgürlüklerine sahip yönetimler olmasını mı yoksa despot, savaşa ve saldırıya hazır düşman yönetimler olmasını mı isteriz?
Üçüncüsü, Kürdistan’ın dışında da Türkiye’nin çeşitli kentlerinde, metropollerinde milyonlarca Kürt yaşıyor. Artık sadece burada yaşıyorlar, çocuklarının geleceğini burada kuruyorlar. Bu insanlar demokratik bir ülkede yaşamayı hak etmiyorlar mı? İstanbul’da, İzmir’de, Antalya’da yaşayıp “burada olup biten hiçbir şey bizi ilgilendirmiyor!” demek kadar saçma-sapan bir şey olabilir mi?
Demokrasi, hak ve özgürlükler mücadelesinin çeşitli handikaplarla boğuşmak zorunda kaldığı bir gerçek. Şu var ki küsmek, darılmak, yorulmakla bu sorunlar çözülmüyor. Akılla, bilinçle, vicdanla, düşünce, kültür ve sanatın gücüyle birbirini etkilemeye dönüştürmeye çalışmak zor ve zahmetli olabilir ama her har halde son fert kalıncaya kadar birbirini öldürmeye çalışmaktan ve sonraki kuşaklara nefret ve savaş mirası bırakmaktan daha zor değil…
Çözümsüzlüğün stabilize edilmesi…
Bahçeli ve Öcalan tarafından yapılan çağrılarla kapısı aralanan “yeni çözüm süreci” beklentileri, 19 Mart operasyonu ve kitle protestolarının gölgesinde kalmış gibi görünse de; süreci yönlendiren aktörlerin belli bir kararlılık gösterdikleri de bir gerçek. Yine de belli olan şey, hemen her şeyin belirsiz olduğudur. Önceki sürecin yeterince açık, katılımcı olmadığından şikâyet ederken, bu kez arka planda neler olup bittiğini hiç bilmiyoruz. Bazı kulaklara üflenen fısıltılar ve bol bol üretilen spekülasyonlardan başka…
İşin aslına bakılırsa, her şeye sıfırdan başlamak yerine epeyce yol kat edilmiş önceki sürecin kesildiği yerden, örneğin “Dolmabahçe Mutabakatı” üzerinden devam edilmesi daha akılcı olurdu.
Bu kez de 19 Mart’ta demokrasiye dair var olabilecek beklentileri de darbeleyen saldırılara bakılırsa, iktidarın gerçekten “iyi” bir niyeti görünmüyor. Ortalıkta, temastı, görüştü, pazarlıktı söylentileri pompalanırken, karşılıklı herhangi bir adım atılmadan, güneyde konumlanmış gerilla güçlerine yönelik operasyonlar sürerken hem de, işi sadece “PKK’nin silah bırakması ve örgütü tasfiye” söylemi üzerine kurduğunda bunun bir “teslimiyet” dayatması ve beklentisi olacağı açıktır.
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti, kendi önceli olan birkaç büyük imparatorluğun siyasi hafıza ve geleneklerini taşıyan bir devlettir. Mevcut siyasi kadroların bunu ne kadar sürdürme kabiliyetinde oldukları ayrı bir konu. Bu askeri doktrine göre, devlet halledeceği bir meseleyi -bu işgal edeceği bir bölge, çörekleneceği bir ekonomik/siyasi varlık da olabilir- metal şekillendirme yöntemindeki gibi önce yeteri derecede ısıtır; ısıtılan bu meseleye kendi istediği biçimi verdikten sonra da hemen soğutmaya alır. Böylece istediği sonuç kalıcı hale gelmiş olur. Çünkü o meseleyi aynı yüksek sıcaklık koşullarında ısıtmak ve şekillendirmek diğerleri için mümkün olmayabilir. Örneğin Türkiye sık sık Yunanistan’la arasında Ege denizindeki egemenlik için sık sık bu yola baş vuruyor.
Fakat Kürdistan konusunda çok uzun yıllardır devletin bu meseleyi ısıtıp soğutma ve istediği biçimi verme inisyatifi kalmadı. Devlet geleneğinin ikinci taktiği de böyle durumlarda “çözümsüzlüğe” oynamaktır. Buna da örnek, Kıbrıs’ın kuzeyindeki 50 yıldır süren ilhaka rağmen diplomatik ve uluslararası anlamda kabul edilebilir bir çözümünün olmamasıdır.
Türkiye, Kürt halkının Ortadoğu’da uluslararası tanınmış, garanti edilmiş bir statüko edinmesini istememektedir. Bunun için içerde ve dışarda, hatta dünyanın herhangi bir yerindeki Kürt kazanımlarını kendi meselesi olarak görüp, onu bozmaya, engellemeye çalışmaktadır. İçerde ve dışarda bir türlü bastırılamayan Kürt dinamizmine karşı da “çözümsüzlüğe” oynanmaktadır.
Son dönemde Bahçeli eliyle yürütülen sürecin özelliğini, “çözümsüzlüğü stabil/kalıcı” hale getirmek olarak okuyabiliriz.
Halk barış ihtimaline bile tutunmak istiyor
Doğada olduğu gibi, toplum bilim de hiçbir şeyin yoktan var, varken de yok olmayacağını gösterir. Kürt/Kürdistan sorununu ortaya çıkaran ne Öcalan’dır ne de PKK’dir. Tersine tarihsel olarak böyle siyasal-toplumsal sorun olduğu için, bu sorunun çözümüne cevap olabileceği düşünülen örgütler ortaya çıkar ve taban bulur. Dolayısıyla bu sorun temelde devam ettikçe liderler ve örgütler değişse de sorunun eşit, adil ve kalıcı çözümleri için arayışlar, örgütlenmeler, hareketler devam eder.
Halkımız savaşlarla, yıkımlarla, buna rağmen süren çözümsüzlük ortamından çok yoruldu, yıprandı. Somut barış-mutabakat olmasa bile bunun ihtimaline bile tutunmak istiyor. Barışçıl çözümlerin önünü açılmasını bekliyor.
Kürdistan sorunu eskiden de şimdi de uluslararası boyutu olan bir sorundur. Bu hem bir imkân hem de bir zorluktur. Hangi biçimde olursa olsun, aynı coğrafyayı paylaştığı toplumlarla, devletlerle ortak bir çözüm bulmak zorunlu olacaktır. Önemli olan bu ortak çözümün adil, özgürlükçü ve tam hak eşitliğine dayanmasıdır.
Eğer adil bir çözüm olmazsa, taraflardan biri güçsüz olduğu için buna boyun eğmek zorunda kalsa bile bu ilanihaye sürmez ve belki daha boyutlu şekilde yeniden patlar. O halde çözümün adil olduğu kadar kalıcı ve sürdürülebilir olması da gereklidir.
Sorunu sadece Türklerle-Kürtler arasındaki bir konu olarak takdim etmek, Sünni-İslam eksenine dayanmak da son derece yanlıştır. Sorun emperyal despotik bir devleti, Türk ulus devletine dönüştürürken kırıp döktüğü, yakıp yıktığı, ezdiği tüm halkları (Rum, Ermeni, Asuri-Süryani); tüm dinler, tüm etnik kimlikleri (Hıristiyan, Alevi, Ezidi, Yahudi toplumları) da ilgilendirir.
Bütün bunların Türkiye’nin hem siyasi, hem toplumsal yapısında çok radikal değişimlere ihtiyaç duyacağı açıktır.

I am doing the data recovery on this now.
Laptop had Bitlocker enabled. I had to talk the laptop owner through how to access the Bitlocker key in his Microsoft account.
Thankfully the recovery key worked to unlock it. Turning Bitlocker off now.
The screen was damaged on this XPS laptop. I just have the internal screen cable unplugged and am using a Dell Thunderbolt dock to view with an external screen.
This Dell XPS only has USB-C form factor Thunderbolt ports, no regular USB ports or even an HDMI.

Today I will be attempting a data recovery from a Dell XPS laptop that was dropped and no longer has proper display output to the laptop screen.To anyone thinking about getting an Dell XPS, I recommend that you don't. The extra cost premium is not worth what you actually get as I think Dell makes a lot of poor design decisions with the XPS line that look "premium" but are really problematic.
That's my opinion on the XPS series. The Latitude line is much more reliable, if you want to go with a laptop from Dell.

I am okay with disk encryption if the owner of the device enables it themselves and understands at least a little bit about it.
Microsoft enabling it on people's computers without their knowledge is really scummy.
I have full disk encryption on my ThinkPad laptop with Linux and I'm okay with that... because I set it up and I know about it.
And yes, laptops with only USB-C are no fun. And also that so many different technologies use the same port. Sometimes the port has DisplayPort, sometimes Thunderbolt, sometimes not.
Exactly. Most regular people are more concerned about loosing access to their own data than they would be about other people seeing their data.
I see this all the time.
