for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there
  • Seriously. I might not be a great "Marx Scholar" and I don't think the revolution will just be a peaceful process "whished into existence" but I don't think Marx was Dunkin g on anti authoritarians here and to presume the "dictatorship of the proletariat" is the long term free society of Marx ideals is utter garbage. Communism will be anti-authoritarian or it will not be.

  • No, I don't want to design a logo for a coffee shop in fucking skype.
  • While I agree that Mic am not working can be difficult to work out with none technical people I have that experience with Teams every day. I work in IT, as do my colleagues and every morning the first call goes like "Can you hear me now?" "Gotta switch the mic." ...this is on teams on Windows/Mac and Linux ... So in my anecdotal experience browser based solutions are no better or worse

  • CD Copy Protection & WINE
    1. You've got Black and White working? I've smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
    2. The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes "Windows" ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive...) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd "patch" for your application ;)
  • Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ...
  • Well ... I first got into contact with OpenSource due to Gratis: OpenOffice, Firefox etc. Combining my knowledge of OpenSource with my tendency to break stuff (Reinstalling Boston for the nth time) led me to Linux which I first tinkered with and soon fully adapted.

    I had a short hopping phase where I went from Ubuntu (my starter) via Debian (accidentally tried stable) to Arch.

    Stuck with arch on my personal machines now run Ubuntu for my work machine and Debian for Servers.

    My favourite distro is the right tool for the job (see above) but I'm pretty happy with Arch

  • Systemctl Command Examples in Linux
  • Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are

    systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failed To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.

    On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is "up and running" just by systemds status

  • Which DE/WM do you prefer?
  • MHH interesting. I honestly haven't really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner ...) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.

  • Google Podcasts is gone — and so is my faith in Google
  • Antennapod definitely is the GOAT. Been using it for years, it only got better. I hate the whole "podcast app" thing and like to just simply subscribe to RSS feeds and automatically download my podcasts and Antennapod does that for me. It's so out of the way.

  • How often do you update your system?
  • Well for my laptop which I use 3-5 days a week (for a few hours at a time) I do it only when I'm at home so it doesn't get in the way when I need my machine. But I also reboot my laptop every use since with framework suspend just won't work properly (I'll look into it soon™).

    My desktop I try to update every time I use it but with barely any time and my gaming now happening on my steam deck that's less and less. Also with the archzfs module I gotta wait for the right timing between module and kernel versions so these days I often miss a few updates.

  • Asking a Linux user to recommend a printer
  • Incredibly I've had two printers I've never really had issues with.

    1. The brother laser my sister uses with Ubuntu without a hitch since forever
    2. The canon inkjet printer/scanner that is wifi connected in my flatshare
  • NSFW
    Advertising
  • MHH 🤔 I see your point. However I would consider this could be an uncut penis which just stretches the foreskin back making it look almost cut when it's erect (those definitely exist)

  • ‘We stand here as Jewish men who refute the Holocaust being hijacked’: Jonathan Glazer calls for end to Gaza attacks at Oscars
    1. Not an American but sure fight the strawmen.

    2. To say all the hostages are European Settlers is just such a false view of the facts. A lot of these people weren't settlers. And to assume they are "European" (by which I assume you mean White) is also wrong. There are Jews (and Arabs) that live (and have lived) in this region for centuries, also there is a huge population of Jews that are black or general POC.

  • ‘We stand here as Jewish men who refute the Holocaust being hijacked’: Jonathan Glazer calls for end to Gaza attacks at Oscars
  • "If Israel didn't exist there would be no people fighting against the existence of Israel" ... What the Fuck?

    What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the "occupation" seriously? I'm not saying Israels government didn't have a hand in creating adversity and Terrorism by suppressing the Palestinian people but to claim the horrific massacres were there fault is just plain evil.
