yeah but no when people refer to the arrest of the activist they refer to the french case I mentioned. This is not related and nobody cared.

Why are we de-fragmenting the SSD?

We're not ... it will only Trim on SSDs and Defrag on HDD ... it's just a weird naming. Should be OR. And Should be Trim or defragment. But it's written like that in their own docs and app.

A fair point. But we should probably fix this in the document.

You mean mention that clicking this will perform a Trim operation?

It seems to be they should have changed this to be more clear, because it makes no sense to defragment an SSD. Only HDDs benefit from this and they are slower as a result of how they're designed. We should at least point this out?

I prefer to keep the text from the MS doc and the app ... but I'll add it's making a trim.

Done and I think that's enough

Ah, it is outdated. I think focus has been on the Markdown and the PDF not the ODT, or any other format possible with pandoc.

Please split this into multiple smaller PRs. Due to the changes made to this PR, the review I had worked on is no longer valid, and I'm not about to review a PR this large twice.

NobodySpecial256 · 2022-06-28T05:30:20Z

I realize I may not have been clear about this project's expectations for submitting updates to PRs that have already started review, so I updated CONTRIBUTING.md to try to be more clear. In the future:

While a PR is being reviewed, modifications may be made to it by the reviewer prior to merging. If this is the case, a new branch will be created for the PR's review. If you would like to submit a change to a PR that is in the process of being reviewed, do not update the PR directly. This will only cause merge conflicts and delay the PR from being merged. Instead, submit your changes to the PR's review branch.

nopeitsnothing · 2022-06-28T05:36:42Z

Patch it out and start a new PR or stash and revert then pull the master and simply apply the patch again and commit it (and add the review branch changes), either way works. We can review later.

Removal of: Yes, this guide has a discord server, and a Twitter account despite those not being recommended at all for their stance on privacy and their struggle with anonymity. But this is about me acting appropriately in making this guide available to the many and conveniently using my experience and knowledge to do so as anonymously as possible.
