Time to whip out this classic:

"I was suggesting we bomb Belgrade!
I was suggesting we send american pilots in and blow up all the bridges on the Drina!"

“You know what would be really interesting to do? Don’t denounce me as a Stalinist but, for example – it’s my old temptation – to rewrote Star Wars… presenting Palpatine and Darth Vader as good progressive egalitarian centralist fighting reactionary feudalist, all the Jedi bullshit. It would tell a completely different story, from the others point. What do they [Jedi] stand for? All that, ‘Republic’, what strange of Republic is when you have a Princess Leila, knights, kings and so on? No, Palpatine the Emperor and Darth Vader, they are - my god - progressive Bonapartist revolutionaries trying to get rid of the old world.”

From: Žižek on Reshooting Star Wars www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_DroaGggbc

But tbh I think that if we take the original trilogy, the Rebels are cleary fighting a reactionary imperialist power, ie. an analogy to the Vietnam war

I’m glad Fedora comes with the most usable no-bs/out-of-the-way (in my subjective experience) DE by default. Yes I do run it with Tweaks and a few extensions, but otherwise I have no need for extensive customization for customization’s sake (which seems so many ppls problem with GNOME, smth that I couldn’t find more irrelevant), since everything about its UI/UX is so intuitive. I understand if people don’t like its opinionated workflow, but it’s just right for me personally…

I don’t get the proposal either way bc Fedora has always been the spearhead of vanilla GNOME and there is an official KDE spin iirc

The USA has a two faced one party system. Two sides of the same coin or “good cop/bad cop” if you will.

Both parties serve the rich, support imperialism and so on. In terms of economics they have the exact same function of serving the 10% over the 90%.

In terms of domestic affairs the good/bad cop dynamic really kicks in. The reps are ultraconservative, while the dems try to mud the waters with their slight progressiveness, in the end only coopting those things as not to endanger capitalism.

The best you will get from the dems is a
“I’ll try to not make things worse - for now. Vote for me or my buddy elephant over there will beat you up”.
(the not making things worse refers to their social policy, not their economic ones. Those will still get progressively worse for the working majority, even if it might be a bit more indirect. All the dems really are is a silken glove over the iron fist of capital).

And tbh, for everyone outside of the US it doesn’t make a difference whether the bombs the policeman of the world drops wherever they please & the bags of money they send to genociders/reactionaries/fascists/terrorists have prideflag & BLM stickers on them, or not…

That’s how I was made aware of “The History of Rome”. I listened to the last chapters of “Revolutions” and decided to start from the beginning before listening to the rest.

My current “roadmap” of sorts is to finish “The History of Rome”, then "The History of Byzantium* (not made by Duncan) and listen to the rest of “Revolutions” afterwards

I have exclusuvely been listening to “The History of Rome” by Mike Duncan

still not done with it lol

Geht das nicht einfach hierrüber, indem man das Symbol ausgraut?

scratch that, habe genau das gleiche Problem :)) Laut Öffi kann man nicht mit Regionalzügen nach Köln (von meinem Standort aus zumindest)

Das tolle an Öffie ist ja, dass man sich an demE ntwicklungsprozess selbst beteiligen, d.h. Bugs melden, Features anfragen oder direkt mit programmieren kann. Freie Software ist toll uwu

I’m rly happy when ppl switch to a GNU/Linux OS, tho I would never recommend Ubuntu to anyone (anymore), since Linux Mint has a much saner no bs team that is not fucked over by a corporate

Or just plain Debian, which is wonderful as well

alsaaas, 14 days ago

that’s quite unorthodox and controversial

agreed, but where meme?

I wouldn’t count on that tbh, especially since it won’t solve anything…

We are not in the same boat at all (metaphorically and physically as well for the most part): The 90% have a little boat at best with most of the Global South being on a raft, with the rich basically being on a Dreadnought but in hysterical size of like cruiseships
