He definitely has US backing, but Petro has also been very incompetent and malicious in his administration, so the population is also kind of fed up with him. Add the fact that Colombia has been a historically right-leaning country.

Colombia*

And Colombia is already in a lot of violence and corruption, and has been for decades.

There should be no problem I think, but will likely have non-optimal performance. Only was to know for sure is trying. Note you’ll need to enable options in your BIOS.

I insist on the Linux migration. That machine is underspecd for 2026 Windows, plus Windows 10 doesn’t receive security parches. Begineer-friendly distro are very easy to use, and you can try a dual boot setup to see if he can get used to it. For begineers I usually go for Linux Mint, or ZorinOS.

Maybe another option is see if you can upgrade a little bit the RAM.

Directly on the hardware, not virtualized in a VM.

I second that option. 4 GB of RAM is not enough for Windows 10. Install Linux, and if you need Windows-specific software use then with a VM; I used to do that and used Windows 7 instead of 10 as it is far lighter. This should improve the overall experience IMO.

Keep in mind that, in your current setup, any RAM you allocate to the VM will not be avaiable to Windows, so your 4 GB Windows (which is already low) will become, say, a 3 GB Windows when using a VM.

Tangential, but I also love when they keep adding bugfixes decades after launch / last content updates.

Fuuuuuck, Veritasium is there as well :(. Sadge.

Blog author is also one of the authors of IPv6. Very neat, thanks for sharing!

My claim is about Venezuela, not US.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Maduro is so incompetent he blundered and allowed mathematical evidence of the past elections being rigged. Here’s an extensive analysis of that by Terrence Tao: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2024/08/02/what-are-the-odds-ii-the-venezuelan-presidential-election/

I was pointing out the logical fallace in claiming Venezuela is not a dictotarship just because US is a horrible country.

I know. What’s your point? I’m not claiming US is a utopia, or have done no harm, I’m not even doing any claim about US. My claim is Venezuela is a dictatorship, and I think arguing “It is not, because US bad” is not a valid refutation to my claim.

Genuine question, are cycles allowed to invade zebras in Milán, or are some of those riders just assholes?

Actúas como gringo fanático romedio.

If you think a rigged election is democracy, I don’t thiink I have anything else to say.

Have a good day, gringo.

First panel of the meme is about Venezuela.

The reason for the discrepancy is the numbers are from when the CNE first oficially declared Maduro the winner of the elections. The numbers Terrence used are given by CNE’s president himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1v1y1_8AKY.

The source you provided uses the last numbers given by the CNE.

Did you take any to look at the mathematical argument being done? Ad hominems are usually taken as bad faith in academics, and this is an académico argument.

It was a big a notice on the math world in the zone, no surprise it was being reported a lot. In any case, to satisfy your and hominem, here’s an article published in a mid-left Colombian newsletter https://www.elespectador.com/opinion/columnistas/hector-abad-faciolince/democracia-totalitaria-y-matematicas/

Even Terrence Tao reported on the issue: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2024/08/02/what-are-the-odds-ii-the-venezuelan-presidential-election/

If you have mathematical arguments against Terrence’s, I would love to read them.

When did I claim it wasn’t? Why do you all have an obsession of dimissing any criticism of Venezuela with a reference to US? I’m not even from there.
