  • That's scary...

    Edit: It seems that it didn't have a nuclear payload, but still kinda scary. I hope the situation doesn't escalate more than this.

    Nova 9.0 (Cuban Linux distro) is out! I uploaded them to Pixeldrain for your convenience.

    I'm really curious to see it in action so I downloaded it. There are two versions, Nova Escritorio (Nova Desktop) and Nova Ligero (Nova Lite/Lightweight).

    Curiously Nova Ligero seems to be only 200MB smaller than Nova Escritorio. (1.9GB vs 1.7GB)

    Here's some download links in Pixeldrain, for faster download speeds and in case the original servers are down when you want to download.



  • I think I have watched a video about it but without paying too much attention, I definitely should look more into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Responsibilities

    This is how responsibilities make me feel most of the time. I know I should stop neglecting my responsibilities but it's just so hard for some reason...

    I wonder if other people have a similar problem.

  • Does the CPC actually believe in a two-state solution? To me it feels like they just want to stay out of conflicts but what would I know.

  • The undemocratic dissolution of the Soviet Union seems to be visible in the graph, on the World line.

  • Expat / immigrant

  • I'm an atheist but I think we should respect people's religious beliefs. If someone is a good socialist then it shouldn't matter if they are religious or not, being anti-religious will only make religious people avoid socialism for no real reason, we don't get anything by being anti-religious.

    I mean, of course we shouldn't let religious institutions have power as they are usually quite reactionary, but the religious beliefs of people should be respected in my opinion.

  • It's official education, here in Spain the course is called "Formación profesional de grado superior en integración social" I'm going private education (so I can study from home), though it isn't too expensive as it is in the US as we have a functional public education system private schools have to compete with. I have no idea what the equivalent of Formación profesional is in other countries.

    Hope that helps!

    Edit: Oh and yeah it is an actual job, at least I see it sometimes while scrolling through employment apps. (I forgor that part of the question lol)

    I'm going to study social integration

    I like helping people, and I think that due to my circumstances I would be able to understand more and be more empathetic towards the people I help once I (hopefully) complete my studies.

    I hope working as a social integrator will make me feel fulfilled. Wish me luck.

    On a r/thedeprogram post joking about some war criminal being fat

    Someone correctly pointing out that calling people fat is bad is downvoted, and someone called "literally_himmler1" replying with a nerd emoji is upvoted.

    I am going to commit sudoku.

  • I half-remember reading somewhere that GitHub isn't available in China but I'm not sure. OpenKylin, a Chinese Linux distro, seems to have it's repository hosted on gitee

    Do you think that organizing support for unhoused people would be a good proposal to make to the party I'm in?

    I'm in the PCPE, and they seem to focus a lot on educating and radicalizing people.

    That is important of course, but I thought that organizing material support for people that needs it would not only actually improve the lives of people but also show the general population that "the commies" aren't some bloodthirsty monsters but instead actual people that want a better world.

    What do you think? I think it's a good idea.

  • Blasphemous is a game made in Spain, I've heard good things about it although I haven't played it.

    It's a 2D souls like metroidvania.

    ADHD moment

  • I think nowadays 8GB of RAM doesn't really make the cut anymore depending on the workload, but you should keep in mind that upgrading a CPU will most likely force you to upgrade your motherboard as well, since by that time there will be newer CPUs that your motherboard won't support. Upgrading RAM in the future will be less expensive as you can just use new RAM sticks alongside the ones you already have though it will probably affect performance if they are mismatched.

    I think that having a fast CPU now will definitely be better on the long run, but that's just my opinion. There are probably other comrades more knowledgeable than me.

    Been trying Void Linux

    I'm liking it a lot, it's very barebones which is something I was looking for, and the package manager's command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well. This might be my new daily driver now.

    Only issue is that since it's not as popular as other distros finding information specific to Void Linux might be inconvenient.

    Did any of you look into Void Linux? Do you like it?

    Are kids even treated like humans?

    So I've been thinking for a while about this subject, and I finally decided to make a post about this some time after I saw a YouTuber say what I put on the title of this post.

    Thing is, I've noticed that very often young people and especially kids are treated as lesser beings, like if they were not humans beings with problems and lives of their own but just an annoyance that people have to keep up with.

    I remember when I was a kid and I wanted to cross a zebra crossing cars would just pass by without stopping more often than not. Now that I'm an adult they stop pretty much every time. I suspect it was because they didn't want to stop for someone they consider to be lesser than them.

    Also, a lot of people seem to think that being a kid means that you just play videogames or whatever all day, but don't these people remember when they were kids? I sure do. Going to school has been the worst thing I've ever had to endure. The only difference with having a job is that you don't get paid

  • Primarily China. Some western leftists can't understand that having markets doesn't mean a country isn't socialist.

  • I remember having a dream where Kim Jong Un visited me in my house. At some point he mentioned that he was hungry and I thought "oh shit I'm such a bad host I didn't get anything to eat" and then I straight up gave him a fucking banana to eat.

    One of the funniest dreams I've ever had.

  • That explains a lot about Alejandro Cao de Benós.

    I'm pretty sure he says that Korea is the only socialist country 💀

    Just told my mother that I'm a communist, she took it well

    I think that hiding my political views hinders my ability to organize, so from now on I will try to stop hiding.

    I told her through WhatsApp because I'm not good at face to face confrontations.

    Not sure how the rest of my family will take it.

    Thanks for reading 😊

    That is some dedication to being wrong.

    Being gender neutral in Spanish

    In Spanish everything is gendered, so being gender neutral is not as easy as for example English where you can just use 'they' or 'them'.

    Sometimes people use the 'e' instead of the o/a (which often mark the gender of words, for example gato/gata, cat in Spanish) but it can't always be used and it just sounds really weird for a lot of people, though that might just be because it is barely used.

    The other way to be gender neutral that I know is to say both the male and female versions of the word you are trying to make gender neutral, for example "trabajadores y trabajadoras" (workers[M] and workers[F]) but it's also not ideal as you have to say one of the genders first and it is pretty inconvenient to have to do that every time you refer to a group of people that is not guaranteed to be composed of one gender only.

    Anyway thanks for reading my post and I hope I find out about a better way to be gender neutral in Spanish.

    At least in Spanish there is never doubt how shit is pronoun

    Linux for Leftists @lemmygrad.ml

    I've been trying out Gentoo, but imma hop to another distro

    Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

    I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn't figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.

    I will now try out Arch and hope I don't need a master's degree to install packages.

    Edit: Gentoo isn't the first distro I've tried, I've been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn't really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.

    Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

    Should we make a pinned post in here that explains the basics of Linux?

    I think it could be very convenient. I can make the post if you want, just comment here what you think the post should have and I'll try to put something together.

    Edit: It seems that @[email protected] is already working on one so this won't be necessary lmao

  • I installed Gentoo alongside Debian and Windows, took me an entire day 😅

    Also I saw on distrowatch that there is an open source OS on development that can run Windows stuff natively (.exe programs and all these things), It's called ReactOS. I tried installing it on my PC but the USB just wouldn't boot :(

    And this isn't from my weekend but I discovered that I absolutely love the KDE Classic cursors for some reason. I guess it's because they are so simple and kinda give retro vibes.

    At least I'm learning 😅

    I made a Java map game thing

    (Note: feel free to use the peertube instance, that would be cool 🥺)

    I made a Map game in Java. There is no gameplay though so you just kinda look at it go.

    Each pixel is a province on zoom level 1, and its color depends on the map mode and if it is in bounds (inside the actual map and not above or below).

    The map is randomly generated, and each province has its own height, temperature and moisture value. The color of the province is calculated using these values.

    Also, the map loops horizontally seamlessly since the height, temperature and moisture values are taken from the surface of a cylinder (without the top and bottom surfaces) instead of just a rectangle.

    On map generation states (I call them that instead of countries to future-proof for civil wars, since for example Taiwan is not its own country but a participant in the civil war of a country) are created one per land province, and they attempt to expand their borders by taking bordering land from one of their neighbours

    How will decolonization work?

    I thought about it but I couldn't think of a proper answer.

    I guess it would make the most sense to let the colonized decide what to do with the colonizers, since they are the victims.

    And what would happen with the people that were brought in as slaves by the colonizers?

    I hope someone smarter than me can explain 🙏🥺
